General Comments
Well here in the UK I paid £130 for the Gamo Shadow 1000 .22 version, fitted a Nikko Stirling Mountmaster AO 4x40 scope. ( £40)

I'm using nothing but Webley Accupels through it.

This is my first air rifle and so far I'm very happy with it and the accuracy does seem to be getting better the more pellets I put through it, but this is probably down to practice.



The power of this air rifle is insane, it puts holes clean through peices of slate at 25 yards. I'm not going to shoot any live quarry until I've had more practice but I know it would drop any squirrel / bunny with a headshot no problem.
