Of the few aire guns that own,this one is my favorite,when i want to get the job done!. The GRT trigger is a must have if you want a great improvement in accuracy.

Thx man,yeah it`s 1.5"But it was about 2000 rounds gettin there,I was ready to give up and sell really cheap,when all of a sudden I couldn`t miss.Now it shoots pretty much with my German & English guns.And I`d much rather take it out at night and in the rain than the "others".Just ordered a new hunter 440 from Natchez,Thinkin about a stock swap,just somthin about wood,albeit it needs refinishin :emoticon: Really been ponderin on a flyin dragon qb....next victim maybe???

Barry yea I sold it Saturday night. Just waiting for the money order to show up. I just desided not to shot FT right now.  I do I still have tuned Webley Vulcan that I could use I would have to change out the scope. I may even have to gas ram it. Need a chrony first.

Hello Paul,
I agree about the GRT trigger, since my original post starting this thread, I have installed a GRT trigger and it has made a nice rifle even better.

I have a Viper (as you can probably tell by my name), and it is simply one of the best airguns I have ever used. I've only put about 300 shots through it though, so I can't say too much about it. I purchased the Gamo Pellet Sampler Pack, and it hates the master points, with the Hunters grouping the best. Unfortunately, in my area, there are barely any pellets around here. Dick's sporting goods sells only gamo pellets, and some copperheads (which I wont even bother to try). The trigger is pretty heavy, and long. So it takes some getting used to. But after that, its smooth sailing from there. The one thing thats strange is the yellow sticker on the bottom that says "1", and around the borders of the stickers it says "INDUSTRIAS EL GAMO", which I know means Gamo Industries, but what does the 1 mean? Whatever. The bull barrel takes some getting used to, but its still very fun. And I used to have a Winchester 1000X with 3-9x32 Scope, but I had to take it back because it seemed to detonate with every single shot.... I did get a rabbit with the Winchester (i'll post some pics if you like). I have to say that the Gamo is one HELL of alot easier to cock than the Winchester. The scope was somewhat difficult to zero on the Viper, but I like it otherwise. Just so all of you know, the Viper isn't really silver, but more of a dark gray.

Welcome to the forums Robert.  Sounds like you are liking that Viper,,, quite a few guys on the forum have one.  I myself would like to get one, and probably will one of these days, but right now the wife would kill me if I bought another air rifle.

Oh by the way,,, a real easy fix for that stiff GAMO trigger is to order a GTX trigger from Bob (aka:charliedatuna).  Trigger drops right in and it's simply amazing to say the least.  

Looking forward to your future posts, and if you hunt make sure to post the stories and pics in the "Hunting Gate".

If I did order that trigger, how would I go about installing it?


Thanks,
Robert

Rob he includes very clear instructions on installation. It seriously took me 20 minuets and I took my time. Theres 4 screws, and like 4 clips to remove and it all comes and goes togeather easy.

Would this void my warranty with Gamo?
