Light weight, looks and handles very good.
Trigger
Overall I like the Gamo Shadow Supreme .22 cal. The only thing I don't like is the trigger. It is a 2 stage with the 2nd stage adjustable. It still has way too much creep for my liking. I guess I am just spoiled by the Beeman triggers. I would like to get a GTX trigger for it but he is out of business. If anyone knows where I can pick one up let me know.
I have fired around 300 shots and it seems to be breaking in nicely. I shot 3 shot groups with 20 different pellets to see which it liked the best. The Crosman Premier was by far the best out of this gun.
The gun came with a Gamo 4x20 AO scope. I installed a Leapers 6x32 AO and it works well with this gun. I used Accushot 2 piece rings and initially had problems with accuracy. I found the recoil pin in the ring was too small for the hole in the dovetail and my scope was moving around. I installed a larger plug and beveled the edges and it seems to be rock solid now.
Overall it is a very good gun but it could be a great gun if it had a better trigger.
