Just moved the Stealth Reflex to my Gamo Fusion rifle and working well this afternoon, ready to go out for some pest control with the spotlight. Dovetail to Picatinny rail adaptor is required for this setup. ![]() |

Good move on your behalf. Just out of interest I stumbled on a review from aar that was a review of the roadster and speedster. Not a word was said on the roadster nor any shots fired from it.
Think it goes to the old addage of you got nothing nice to say. I repeat that I got a bad gun. I don't recommend roadster as a gun but I still think I got a bad roadster. I'm not ditching gamo as ppl seem to have good results with them but I'm not Impressed. Basicly a pre assembled kit set that needs finishing. I might have saved a lot of hassle if I had stripped it from day one. If I ever get another gamo I will definitely strip it clean it up, check tolerances before I ever shoot it. |

Long as airmax holds. I'll look back into redot scope for gamo I think. Should do for short range. I'm blaming that washer when it was in. Also being stupid enough to listen to a sales person instead of saying no. All up I could have got another tx200 for the money I've spent on gun, scope, gas getting stuff and time repairing it.
My fault I went for the fancy mag to try it instead of bsa single shot for same price. lesson learned. (Hopefully) |

Been there before with scopes. I've got a cheap $60 scope that has been on several rifles and still hold zero and other scopes crap out in a couple of weeks. I lent a rifle to a friend once and he said he could hit anything so I got it back and the inner tube thing was rattling around free

omg was shooting next tins of pellets checking grouping, suddenly the pellets dropped and started wondering. rezeroed scope nah. Gun City scope dead. Gamo scope back on and shooting again. This is unreal, like that movie christen the haunted car.
Not hard to see why some ppl don't like air guns. What a learning curve this has been. Thankfully the tx has balanced it out with no issues and good shooting. lesson learned. |

They seem to be well made. I never sorted any. They're strait from the tin, skirt checked for damage before loading. None were damaged, all looked well formed and even in shape all over. Pretty clean. That's a discription of pellets in tin, not just ones shot.

Haha sorry I obviously didn't read properly. I've got a tin of the stoeger in .177 that hasn't been touched. My brother in-law says his Gamo loves them. I need to try them

sorry to disappoint that was scope after tried open sight and seen it was grouping. no adjustment to scope just shooting for groups to see what to use. Not particularly fussy about being dead center as just finding what I'll retest. Hence why stoeger shocked me with its 25m groups. I never shot them under 25m!

Just going to say that they are very good groupings for open sights. I took a scope off a Ruger Air hawke a few weeks ago and used the open sights and they are an almost forgotten skill. My first couple of air rifles only had open sights and I could pop off Sparrows out to 30 odd meters using old Winchester pelets and when I first got a scope it took a while to get to get used to it. (Mind you it was a sh*tty second hand job)

wasn't sure what I'd shot at centers and not sure what one was AA field at 25m so didn't do those targets. there's about 20 from today.

the air arms I thought were going to be the go to first 5 rounds at 20m punched one hole about three pellet diameter. The pellets are good quality and I was shooting the under weight ones I had sorted out. so would have been bonus if they did. But they spread at 25.
There is a definite weight thing with this gun or maybe I shoot better with the 14.66gr. I'll shoot up shed and get the air arms targets out of bin and post them for you. |
