    Good Points: It has nice wood, very very acurate and powerful. But you can put powerful also in the bad points if you don't want to damage your wall or whatever you're shooting at. I'm always using a table behind the target but this rifle shoots right thru the table. standard it has a scope raiser, which you can take off easily if you don't like it. The scope rail and raiser are both long. It also has a manual trigger safety. Some people (like me) hate automatic trigger safety because you forget them all the time when you pull the trigger. It standard has fibre optic sights. Once used to those, you don't want to use the old sights on your other rifles again It has recoil. Not to much, but it makes you feel like you're shooting something powerful. It's no wonder that it has recoil, because the bullet speed is maximum 1000 feet per second (305 meter per second) which is the same as 681mp/h or 1097km/h. The price is also cheap.

    Bad Points: You can't adjust the trigger and it's pulling heavy. If you shoot the whole day with it, your shoulder might start hurting. Try to put the butt different against your shoulder and it should be fine. the sights aren't really great if you want to shoot at a long distance but they'll do the job.

    General comments: I never wanted a rifle that many people have, but I'll never regret buying this Gamo Hunter 440. This one is as acurate as my old match rifle (Gamo MC Contest) but much more powerful which is better if you adjust your sights / scope for a short distance. I don't have to change anything in my scope if I shoot at 10 meter or 40 meter distance.

    I am looking for a new air rifle and was handed a Gamo Hunter 440, without scope. I went to the shooting range to a fire a few shots and found that the standard sights were incredibly accurate and that the gun was incredibly light. I easily bullseyed the close targets and resorted to the full length of the small range (about 32yards) and had a 5p grouping with the iron sights at that range. Incredible. I will be going back to buy the gun soon with a scope to see what it is really capable of in t ...

    Just bought a Gamo hunter 440. Love it. Great range of ammo for them these days..Plenty of power. Only complaint is the sloppy trigger. Lot of slack for a two stage trigger..

    Last Fall I took advantage of a sale through Cabela's, and bought a refurbished Gamo Hunter 440 package which included a 4x32 scope and mounts. The package cost all of $110 US, including shipping. Pretty good, all in all. The Gamo Hunter 440 is a .177 calibre, break-barrel pellet rifle with a spring-piston powerplant. The grossly exaggerated press would have you believe it develops muzzle velocities of 1,100 feet per second -- the true, real-world performance is more in the range of 800-850 ...

    Exellent value for money. It is a well weighted air rifle with a good power to weight ratio. Not as accurate as some others but the most accurate in its price range.

    Fun shooting air rifle that I have put thousands of pellets through. I especially like it for metallic silhouette shooting. Have also used it on chipmunks and other pests around the house with good results.

    Powerful 4,5 air rifle, accurate till 40 meters with heavy pellets, should use optics. The .177 cal was very accurate. The Gamo Hunter 440 is a great air rifle

    Bought My 440 for $100.00 (new) with the intentions of doing a "lube and tune on it". Always liked the looks and light weight of this rifle but I've had some bad experiences with Gamo's although I like my remaned CFX. What a shock this rifle has been. No need to "lube&tune" my example of this rifle it's as smooth as silk from start to finish. Why can't all Gamo's be this good? Only China QC is weaker. The only thing I am doing to this baby is a trigger transplant from the "Tuna". With ...

    The perfect Air rifle for the less experienced shooter and the experienced. With easy accuracy and light weight features. An excellent Spanish make.

    I'm a relative newcomer to the sport, however w/some excellent advice, the addition of a Leapers illuminated mil dot scope and serious trigger adjustments have resulted in impressive accuracy. To date I can group 4 different pellets into a .40" group, 4 shots ea. w/1eye and 2 eyes @ 15yds., my maximum indoor range. In the field it has resulted in a squirrel head shot @ 47yds. w/no elevation change. As a beginner I'm impressed, so I highly recommend this as a"Bang for the Buck", try the Gamo Hunt ...

    This rifle is just not up to the standard of what I expected from Gamo or my other Gamo's. I was looking around on the net for a decient rifle to do some upgrade work on myself. I found Gamo 440's for $99 new in the box at Nachez. I thought I would get one and tune it into something real nice myself. The plan for the gun was to put in new guides, spring, all the right lubes, a new trigger and add a scope. I thought super gun for the original price of the basic gun. Well the gun arrived, in ge ...

    I like this Gamo. I can shot it accurately at 20 to 30 yards, it has good speed (Crosman premier hollowpoints at 930 FPS and premier match wadcutters at 932 fps, RWS superdomes at 926 FPS). Overall I recommend this gun especially at a good price. I'm tempted to buy a spare!
