I own a gamo wildcat whisper .177 with litterly nothing to aim. Ive heard how springer air rifles have a big spring and when u hit the trigger it causes a double recoil effect and that effect kills firearm scopes and red dots. So ive been looking everywehre for a good scope to put on my rufle that can handle the double recoil(i perfer a red dot or a small 3x red dot scope)

Hey all. I just bought a gamo urban after seeing someone post that $170 deal on Amazon. Right off the bat I had a difficult time removing the magazine. I got it out, loaded it and fired off a few rounds. The trigger has not worked a few times, I had to rack the bolt, remove the (difficult to remove) magazine and reseat the bolt with a bit of force and then got it to shoot. The magazine has gotten progressively worse and the bolt has bent the magazine a little bit as things are not quite lined up. When I rack the bolt it doesn’t advance a round. I’ve shot about 30 pellets and seem to have it dialed in really good. But it is not functioning properly.

Does anyone have any ideas? The barrel appears to protrude into the magazine well a little bit, probably .010” or a little more. I suspect that is the issue. I’d rather not send it back for warranty, but maybe I should. $170 is not a big investment so I am interested in tinkering with it if that seems worth while.

Thanks in advance!

So I’m just wondering what could be causing the very inconsistent groups im seeing on my gamo. I tightened everything up, and the best grouping pellets out of the ones I have are crosman premier hollow points, and even they will send a flier every couple shots. The rws I tried don’t group at all. Obviously I need consistent grouping to hunt with the rifle.

I’m still using the stock scope, not sure if that’s a possible issue or it’s just the rifle itself.

Any advice is greatly appreciated thanks.

Hi! I really want to get into this and build one up but I really have no idea where to start or look for parts. I know it's recommended to acquire the steel breech, brass bolt and the plumper pump handle... but again, I'm not sure where to begin looking.

Please advise. Part numbers or links would be very helpful.

I just bought the impact M4 in .357 cal. Is there any pellets that work really good with gun and any pellets to stay away from with this gun. Any thoughts on the Benjamin BPN357 Extreme pellet for hunting? I will be shooting pigs roughly 20-25 yards away. Looking for 80-100 lbs hogs. Going for smaller ones cause the bigger they are the tougher they are. Let me know your thoughts.

Got a question.

I've recently broke out my old Weirhauch HW99S and bought a new scope (Hawke Vantage AO). Sighted it yesterday at 15m and very happy with the new scope (for £60 it's a bargain).

I was just wondering what's the max range you could reasonably expect to shoot accurately with a .22 springer (11ish ft/lbs). And what's a reasonable kill range for shooting pigeons and Squirrels? I want it to still pack a punch so it's a quick kill and also keep within range that I am always accurate.

Also, what constitutes an air rifle vs air pistol legally? I can't seem to find anything expect a pistol has to be under 6 ft/lbs, and a rifle 12ft/lbs. Like does a rifle have to have a fix stock or certain barrel length to be classed as a rifle?

Is there a multi-pump rifle out there that has more power than the daisy 880? Which also has rifled barrel, great accuracy and ergonomics. Thanks!

Would like some feedback. Looking for 1st airgun and not sure what to get. Not looking to spend over $150 on 1st go. Hopefully something that is accurate and good enough to take out squirrel at 20-25 yards. TIA

Mostly Squirrels and Chipmunks. Accuracy at longer ranges a plus. Mid and high range budget options preferred. From my limited research .25 seems to be the best choice for longer shots (correct me if I am wrong).

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

I just found my old umarex dx17 dual 177 Pellet and BB spring piston air pistol. I want to give it a clean and maintenance check before using but I have no idea where to start. The online manual doesn't give any info other then to use pellgunoil but I don't even know where I would put it. Do U need to strip it down? A video on YouTube showed him breaking one down for a demo and the springs shot everywhere. I would appreciate any advice I can get. Thank you in advance

I'm wanting to get into shooting and working my way to own a real AR-15 but want to practice at home without just dry firing. So, I'm looking into getting the R1 or the DPMS (both based on budget) but I've read a lot of reviews on how the magazines do not seal well and the CO2s leak significantly even with several new magazines.

Again, I know it's an air BB gun but really don't want to buy something that doesn't work and a waste of money.

Does anyone know how the R1 or DPMS compares to something like below? I ran across this Big Bang M4 and I'm interested to how it is compared to the Crosmans...

Big Bang Air Guns M4 Carbine w/ M-LOK Handguard CO2 Gas Air Rifle (.177 Caliber Air Gun)

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, I've come across a air rifle I initially thought was a Haenel model 45 but this one is made by FR Eduard Engels & Co, hoping anyone has some insight or info regarding it as I genuinely can't find any reference or literature anywhere online. I'll post the pics in the replies, Many thanks

hi, I've bought a Umarex SA10 not much ago and I've already shot something like 2000 pellets...
what's the useful life I can expect from that gun, if I keep silicone oil on the seals and grease on the slide?
is there anything else I need to do?

Hey guys, I used to have a DayState Ranger back a few years ago. I’d really like to get back into it. I’m only interested in target practice and would like to get something that can be really accurate. I know this question is really open - depends on many variables - but I’m after an opinion on what you think is the ultimate air rifle for accuracy. .177 of course!
