“Hunter Extreme is truly a super powerful hunting air...”

Good Points
Very powerful, strong built with good solid looking,overall good quality finishing Come with high quality scope.

Bad Points
The trigger is hard to pull and travel way too long (even after adjusted the second stage trigger to minimum still don't feel right) and it does affect the accuracy significantly. Very loud, especially using PBA, which I don't think that actually give good accuracy as the best pellets for this rifle are those extra heavy pellets. You will need a strong arm.

General Comments
Hunter Extreme is truly a super powerful hunting air rifle compare with other spring rifles. I have taken quite a few larger size rabbits and some small pest with one shot (mostly head and around chest area). the power is amazing, more than enough for one shot clean kill. I am using Diabolo Barracuda extra heavy pellet with this rifle, and found quite accurate (apart from the bad trigger influence) This is a very heavy rifle and hard to cock without proper technique.
Would be even better if Gamo made them in 22 or even 25 caliber rather than limited to only 177.
