General Comments
This rifle is no toy, i really don't know if it really shoots at 1650 fps, i bought it and first i tried accuracy and i hit a AA battery at 40 yards and the most impressive thing about it was it passed right through the battery using the Gamo PBA RAPTORS that come with the rifle. I saw a TV ad and in that video you can see a guy killing with 1 shoot a 200 lb. hog, i own 31 air rifles, pneumatic, precharged, brake barrels, but nothing i own come close to this one, perhaps an air force condor, but the precharged are kind of a hassle to hunt with, pumps, scuba tanks, etc. and with the Gamo you just need a tin can of pellets and a strong arm (58 lb. of cocking effort) but make not mistake this gun is .22 rimfire disguised as a pellet gun. I like to hunt a lot of small game but if you hunt for a medium size game like a hog, I'm not sure 1 shoot will kill it but the second i'll bet will do the job, not for plinking, not for small pests, but as the name of it says its for hunting.
