Gas Ram Opinions???

I've had 2 of them from PA. The first was 100 fps slower than my steel spring CFX .22 with a variety of pellets. I returned it and the replacement they sent was about 40 to 50 fps slower. Also, both were very loud (not at the muzzle).Look for my evaluation post.

i have the RX2 gas ram...all i can say is that there is nothing like it,........power,accuracy it will last a life-time....i don't know about the gas ram whisper.....personally i don't understand why anyone would consider changing a gamo springer  into a gas-ram.... there are enough legit gas-rams out there,to me it's like trying to get a chevy malibu to ride like a lincoln town car....it ain't gonna happen, again this is just my opinion..different strokes for different folks....i would just have the whisper tuned and you will be more than satisfied...good luck...shoot safe..

I enjoyed your Whisper comparison test and it surprised me when the gas ram actually spit them out a bit faster than the spring.  I thought I had read before that the gas ram typically slows the gun down.  I'm currently shooting a RWS 48 in .177 and really despise having to drag a little red wagon around in the woods to carry that burdomsome monster of a gun.  I prefer hunting with my boy's spring Whisper but as of yet I have not been able to keep it zeroed.  Tonight I removed that piece of soft aluminum riser and mounted the scope direct to the receiver.  The hole in the riser for the scope stop pin was already egg shaped real bad and I'm hoping it was the reason I couldn't keep the gun zeroed.

Hey Bobby,

I have the same problem and then just found out the other day that Gamo makes a scope stop that we can buy to fix that darned scope slide mistake they have. Isn't that nice of them?
All in all though I really like the whisper w/gas ram, I think i about have it broke in and would like to do a crony with it and see what she does.
Thanks for your comments and Crims, I liked your review!!
