My 2 cents worth would be (and I think all of my shooting buddies will agree) is to forget about the Gamo no matter how much the salesperson raves about it - you'll probably be disappointed.  

For the same price as the one you mention you'll be able to purchase a new Weihrauch HW50 in .177 cal plus a Nikko Stirling scope, a combo that will give you a very high level of accuracy, lots of dead rabbits and years of service.

PLUS, you would be competitive if you wanted to join our little club (we have a member who travels down from NP) as the springer shooters are now getting very close to the PCPs - especially on our 25yd indoor range!

PM me if you'd like more info.

Thanks I see you sent a PM but for some reason I cant see the messages.... no option to read them when I click the link...

Hi From Stratford, I have a range of Gamo air rifles including multi-shots.
I have removed all the multi-shot loaders.
The magnums are over powered for the trigger capability.

Check out the forum reviews and hunting posts to get some ideas.

Try before you buy, happy to arrange a practice session with several different brands and models in Stratford or Eltham.

Welcome back to airguns they remain a very cost effective pest control option.
