Interested in the trigger and any information and thoughts on usability.

What pellets are in the green boxes, I have Gamo Rocket Destroyers in similar black boxes and they work well but are a touch expensive for plinking. 
H&N Field Target Trophy pellets, JSB Match Diabolo Jumbo or Crosman Premier domed all good options.

Look forward to future posts.

Pretty sure this is the replacement trigger. https://www.charliedatuna.com/GRT-III%20Trigger%20New.htm

You a town or rural shooter?

I'm in Fairton.  Only just got my air rifle. Have been doing rabbit shooting with a .22, but not getting out much. So sold it, and got this. Now I can practice at home and try for a rabbit across the road.

I had one of those a few years ago. It was a good gun, and I only sold it to fund another.

Upgraded trigger is probably one of the best upgrades I reckon. Make sure you try a few different pellets through it, as you will need to find what it likes. In theory ability to hit a bottle top consistantly at 20m is a good way to judge.

The guy I got it off has given me the ammo it likes best. I used the bottle top method for my .22LR.

Welcome to the world of air guns πŸ˜‰
They don’t have the reach of powder burners, but you don’t always need to shoot 500m, and some air rifles can be increadibly accurate, way more than most powder burners.
They are much cheaper to shoot, much quieter and most can even be back yard friendly, but you can still enjoy all the challenges of being as accurate as you want πŸ‘πŸ»
Be warned though, they can be addictive πŸ˜‰]]> Mon, 19 Jun 2023 14:04:17 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=834&PID=7122#7122 Gidday from Ashburton : Be a short track to the first... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=834&PID=7118#7118 Author: kruzaroad

Well, it's the end of an era. Just sold my last firearm, after 53 years of shooting. Not getting the use. Have decided to have some fun with an air rifle. Scored this rig for $200. As far as I can tell, an excellent buy. Gamo whisper in .177, Stoeger 3-9 x 40 scope, after market trigger. If I get into it, andfind I need to, will upgrade down the track.
