General Comments

The Gamo Hunter 1250 air rifle is extremely accurate. Mine is a .177 caliber. I get my best groups using Crossman Premier hollowpoints, Gamo magnums, and Crossman copperhead. I don't have a chronograph, but all go supersonic, except when shooting up at extreme angles. I get clean head shots on squirrels (I limit my distance on small game to 25 yards). If I were hunting anything larger or farther out, I would want to go to a .22 or .25 cal. With the proper stock this could be a good FT gun.

The trigger, while smooth is a little long winded. If you abort your shot the trigger doesn't go back, and leaves the gun in a dangerous situation.

The weight of the gun is a little on the high side, but does help when shooting unsupported.

Has anybody had their 1250 tuned, and with what results?

   I once had the gamo 1250 FAC version .22 cal and have sold it. This airgun will for sure not be suitable for FT. If you ever tried the Weihrauch HW97 or Theoben SLR, you will understand. The gamo 1250 has a bad trigger and you might shoot well at 25 yards, but at 40 and 50 yards you never know where the bullet will hit! Too bad, because the power of the gun is perfect for hunting, but the quality is not good enough.

   Chris, you are correct. My experiences with the Gamo 1250 were at limited distances. It is an excellent hunting gun (at the appropiate distances). I finally found an airgun club and got a chance to shoot in a FT event. The 1250 was too powerful (club limit is 20ft/lbs), so I had to use my shadow (which had the same accuracy problems as the 1250). I got the opportunity to shoot an AA TX 200, within a couple of days I found an AA TX 200 MK2, and purchased it. It is much more accurate and I will get to use it at the Dec 2005 FT.
