Good Points: Easy to use.
Bad Points: Not very accurate - even in the gun vise. Scope is a joke. Ring allen wrench or the screws rounded out and wouldn't catch. I couldn't keep the rings from sliding on the rail no matter haw much I tightened the screws.
General comments: No really worth the money. I'm going to sell it and try another brand.

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

Perfect gun for the first timers and experienced shooters, I got mine about 1 week ago and i hit the top off a bottle in about 3 shoots from approx. 75 metres.

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!

the best airgun i have ever owned but i found room for improvement. if it was precharged and had a place to mount a bipod i would use it for competition shooting and tournaments. Now im shooting it on a benchrest stand. Otherwise its perfect.

I had the Hunter 440 for a while now, put maybe 4000 rounds through it.
I would say it pretty bedded down after about 1000 rounds. The stock scope isnt much to speak of, but with a Bushnell 3-9x40, its great.
The weight is light and balanced with scope, target acquisition and holding superb because of the weight.
The trigger is a slight problem in as far as the adjustment is concerned. Seems like the range of 1st stage and 2nd stage isn't that much, but once you get used to it and adj ...

About 6 weeks ago I had an eye problem and the doc said my rifle shooting was over. So I sold the best pellet rifle I've ever had...a Beeman-tuned R9.
Goin' nuts so I started training with a rifle left-handed and left eye. It worked! So I ordered a 440 from Natchez and it arrived last week. I like the rifle but it had rust on the barrel...both inside and out...and it was built 4 years ago! So I returned it and they sent me another one.
It arrived today...no rust, but also a 4-year old rifle. N ...

Excellent buy in this price range. A little tweaking, pellet selection, and patience results in a very satisfying mid-priced, powerful air rifle.

I am planning on taking my Gamo back to the store for a refund. I am only going to own one gun and am willing to pay more for better performance--probably an RWS 350 magnum. Regarding scope creep I noticed a single mount scope ring that uses allen screws on Gamo's web site...If I were to keep mine I would probably order one I bought my gamo 440 combo with scope at a great price...who knows I probably got the one in a thousand that wasn't up to snuff

Functionally, the Gamo Hunter 440 air rifle is very passable. It's a smooth, easy cocker that is comfortable to hold and control while delivering 13-14 ft-lbs of energy. It consistently puts the pellet right where you aim it. It's mainspring vibrates and buzzes something fierce when the gun is fired, but this impacts the shooter's perception of the gun far more than it actually impacts performance.
So why didn't I rate it higher? Because all of the above can also be said for the significantly ...

I got the Gamo Hunter 440 Camo version with a 3-9x40 for a great price from JS Ramsbottom as a rabbiting gun for our smallholding - nothing came close to it price wise, except a Gamo CF30. Having shot an Ansutchz 335 for quite a few years I was interested to see if a Spanish gun would be decent quality - I'm impressed. The recoil / scope issue mentioned by other reviewers isn't an issue on mine - fitted decent mounts, loctited everything and hasn't moved at all in over 600 pellets. Have used RWS ...

I own 3 air rifles. Gamo Hunter 440, Weihrauch 97K and CZ-200S and therefore I think I can compare them all.
The GH440 is mu first rifle. I bought it to figure out what is air gunning means at all ;) In fact I chose it for its declared power. Of course real power is less then indicated (I got 260 m/s for 0.5g pellet and I doubt that there is any pellets that can give you 300 m/s and good groupings).
Also I think that good groupings can be achieved only up to 25-30m distance. Quite enough f ...

I brought this Gamo Hunter 440 gun as a starter, This is my first air rifle and I thought that it was hardhitting, accurate and fairly nice to use, even though it is a bit heavy. I got the 22 version with a Simmons 4x32 scope. Every time I come to use the gun, it is innaccurate and therefore I have gone through many pellets and hardly hit anything, which is rather annoying. I would reccomend this gun yet the scope is something to keep an eye on and the barrel may rust. A slight bit of oil or WD4 ...
