    Viper express is great all around small game gun. The shells it comes with are great for small pest birds. With the .22 adapter for pellets pack's a serious punch to small game even turkeys is you can get a good shot. This gun is by far the best investment I've made into a pellet gun.

    Don't let the cheap looks mislead you: this is a superb airgun.
    After very frustrating expeariences (*) with the far more expensive DIANA 300 R, the Viper Express is a real blessing.
    You shouldn't expect too much (power) using the shell -option, wich is only accurate upon 10 meters, but using the .22 adaptor tells a different story: no problem to hit small targets at 25 meters (and at the same range with the right kind of pellets easily penetrating both front- and rear side of a metal coffee-c ...

    Feels good, shoots good. Light weight. Good gun for the money. It's spectacular to shoot Shotshells. One to buy. Great fun.
    I have the Gamo viper expres 3weeks and I very happy with this gun.It shoot very well. I also have a FX Ultimate and a Diana airgun. All these guns are very good.

    I purchased this gun 2 months ago. The shotgun is deadly at up to 25 yards even on larger game like rabbits. The .22 pellets easily penetrated a galvinized steel tub at 75 ft shooting diagionally at it. With a red dot sight its long range accuracy is greatly improved. Great quality gun and good versality. Well recommend Gamo Gamo Viper Express.

    This is a good gun overall. I like the comment made by another writer about the Daisy rear sight. I'm planning to try one out. I also like the possibility of reloading the shells.

    The Gamo Gamo Viper Express is a cool gun but for me i would just go out and buy me a browning buck mark. This is a much better gun all round. The Accuracy isnt very good and neither is the value for money

    Have solved the rear site problem- bought a cheap daisy electronic point site for $12.00 usd mounted it and started shooting. that red dot was right on the target and hiting where ever i put it. don:t buy an expensive red dot the daisy works great and if you damage the red dot- throw it away and buy another for 12.00 bucks. you can buy it at walmart. now go get those rabbits.

    What are these other guys talking about here--I bought this gun to use solely with the shot shells--I shot at a small wren from about 10 yards away--NO KILL!--Then I shot at another bird from about 8 yards--NO KILL/11--bird just flew away--I looked at the tree and noted that the shot pattern did cover where the bird sat but did not touch the bird whatsoever--DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY--THIS GUN IS TOTALLY INEPT IN THE SHOTGUN PHASE AND IS INACCURATE AND HAS A POWER RATING OF 750FPS, which would be ...

    Its a cool gun great idea and all but the #9 shells are horrible. I water foul hunted and still do for more then 30 years i guess after shooting 12 ga._To 4/10 shot makes it seem weaker but there really not strong at all the pellet may penetrate but there is no front sight to aim with. I got this gun for the back yard for small game it still does the job. But i wouldnt buy it for the shotgun.

    The XS 36-2 is a rifle from the SMK range, in saying that, it is by far one of their best rifle's so far. I know I've tried almost every one. My last being the XS 78 DELUX C02. Now I'm using the XS 36. It's a heavy rifle and not for the faint hearted. In saying that, I'm six feet one and built like an out door toilet so the rilfe is not beyond my handling. I had been shooting on 10 ft/lb for about a year, so when I bought this rifle it performed well above what I had been using. Smk say that the ...

    I ordered the .22 viper express from cheaper than dirt for $200 and it arrived in about 6 days. Right when i got it i tested the shotshells and at 10 yards the groups were about 8 inches with 20 #9 shot and could penetrate 4 to 5 layers of cardboard. I also tested the gun with pellets and it grouped about 1 inch at 20 yards and could penetrate 3/4 inch particle board with flathead pellets, i am sure if you used pointed pellets the penetration would be even better. The next day i took the gun out ...

    I bought my Gamo Gamo Viper Express from Airgunsexpress for $229.99, which i thought was a good deal. I use mine a lot for hunting in my back yard.
    It's great at close range with shot shells, but at far range the #9 lead shots loose their speed. With beeman crow magnum pellets, I shot several shots at 3/4 inch plywood, and it penetrated it with ease, leaving a very large exit wound. however, it is very hard to hunt with the pellets because there is only a front sight and cannot dependably shot ...

    I received this shotgun/rifle for Christmas and it is the neatest airgun I've owned. It is perfect for rats and mice when over penetration is an issue. I have even taken a rabbit with this rifle from a distance of thirteen yards with the shotshells. That is the furthest distance that I would go for this size game while using shotshells though. If you end up purchasing this rifle, you can reload the shotshells by using low-density foam for the base wad, and bit of a cotton ball for the front. i h ...

    I was looking at airguns online and I came across the Gamo Viper Express air rifle. It sounded like an interesting concept so I purchased one from Pyramidair for $229 along with some shot cartridges. A week later it showed up at my front door. Upon opening the box, the gun looked quite nice. It looked just like a single shot 28 gauge break open shotgun. It shoots special .22 shot shells that are for sale for around $8 for 25 of them. The gun also shoots pellets through a special adapter. ...
