 Airshoot99's recommendation | |
Consistently powerful, accurate (when used to it), stock comfortable and easy to handle.
Trigger has quite a long pull (2 stage) which takes a bit of getting used to - but fine after plenty of target practice rounds.
I got the Gamo Hunter 440 Camo version with a 3-9x40 for a great price from JS Ramsbottom as a rabbiting gun for our smallholding - nothing came close to it price wise, except a Gamo CF30. Having shot an Ansutchz 335 for quite a few years I was interested to see if a Spanish gun would be decent quality - I'm impressed. The recoil / scope issue mentioned by other reviewers isn't an issue on mine - fitted decent mounts, loctited everything and hasn't moved at all in over 600 pellets. Have used RWS Hollow Points and Milbro TR pellets - both consistent, the heavier RWS require adjusting the elevation a bit.
A definite recommendation.
