What Gamo model is this?
« on: May 08, 2010, 05:58:10 AM »


Listed on Craiglist. Fellow thinks it is a Big Cat but, obviously, not. Purchased about 6-7 years ago from Cabelas, etc.









Hard to tell but it looks like a wood stocked Delta from the barrel block and barrel profile. Did they have that big a recoil pad/spacer? Almost like a 220 stock but the breech block looks wrong.





Thanks in advance!

Well Red,



This is a tough one ! It looks like the Young Hunter Combo ! but no hooded sight ?



They do have a thick recoil pad but no spacers ???



I hope this helps.

I was just Googling this and it seems to be a Gamo Sporter 500. Same front end as a Delta with about 75% - 80% cocking effort of a Shadow. Shoots about 700fps. By all accounts, twangier than most. Think I will pass. I had a Delta (Daisy rebadge) and, while a cute little gun, it twanged as bad as the big ones, if not worse. I'll stick to Diana 24's in this power range.
