The brown truck rolled up to my house last night and dropped off a long narrow box. Happy Day. Seems last week I was talking to a CSR at Cabelas who leaned me into a great deal. They have what are sold as "refurbished" Gamo air rifles. I took the deal and bought one.....with my Cabelas special discount I had comin it cost me $80 w/ cheap BSA scope and all.
Opened the box last night and this is what I got - brand new, albeit older model from 2005, Hunter 220...definitely not 'refurbished' but old stock. Came with all the correct paperwork, in new box/plastic everything is new.
So I decided to mount the scope and try this baby out. Lets just say it rocks. First three shots at 20 yds. were left and down but very small group. Made a couple of adjustments and now its ready for the "squirrel head test" which can only come later on this evening.

Congrats! Enjoy your gun.

sounds like fun...and something to tinker with. what is it rated speed wise. is it the 1000 fps or what. they sound like an interesting thing to pick out backyard raiders with.

Its supposed to do 1000 fps......but like any true gun nut I have to shoot it thru my Chrony to find out what it really does. Tried that yesterday but I couldn't set it up outside and I couldn't get a reading inside.
Only because I am a tried and true "tinkerer" I spent the last couple days learning about air rifles and what you can do with them. I have upgraded parts on the way..........

Good luck and enjoy the shooting.

Even as hot as it was I got to spend a little time shooting the new Gamo this weekend. With 9.2 gr pellets it does about 840 fps.....so much for advertising.
Saturday morning I dumped two squirrels with it, one head shot at 15 yds. dropped him off the side fence, the next one was on top of one of the bird feeders got him right in the kisser from about 17 yds. He did a bit of the death dance and rolled up in the yard.
Sunday I went and checked my PO Box and found the envelope for my new GRT III trigger. Did an install yesterday ...............excellent upgrade for any air rifle. It takes that mushy, springy, long stacking trigger and makes it a clean breaker with no creep.
