Good Points: Very nice wood on the stock. Long range accuracy with open sights. Very powerful up to 60 yards depending on size of game. not too loud once broken in(50-100 pellets)
Bad Points: The only bad point is the spring twang or buzz when firing.
General comments: Excellent squirrel and bird gun. very effective close or long range. Got mine from dick's sporting goods for 49.99 as an opened box item. A steal in my book. I also own a crosman g1 extreme(.177 )and quest 800x(.22). I have found the gamo to be most dependable and consistant over time.

This was a gift from my in-laws. It has been a very consistent riffle. The Gamo Hunter 220 combo shoots the same as it did many years ago. No problems with the BSA scope. Never had it slip or nor was it blurry. The cross hairs are as they should be. Very little adjustments to the scope after all these years. I can not compare it to another air riffle since this is my first. I just purchased last week the Gamo Hunter Extreme and will be using that riffle once by birthday arrives in 9 days. Look f ...

6 to 8 years ago I purchased two of these, since then they have been invaluable. Excellent for "quick pop the barrel out of the window and kill that rabbit in your garden before the neighbor sees" scenarios. Very quiet compared to other 1000fps airguns I have used, unless you dry fire it. And after years it just needs the occasional sighting in which is easy to do and understand with the open sights and it only takes a steady hand and a cardboard box with a dot on it. With this I have killed man ...

I bought a Benjamin Sheridan at the same time for about the same price. No way to compare them. The Gamo is twice the rifle.

I bought this gun maybe four years ago. It was a good shooter out of the box after I learned to shoot springers. It t has a nice simple design.
I eventually sent the gun to Charlie Tuna for a Super Tune and GTX trigger and now it's really steller. http://charliedatuna.com/index.html This made the gun great. Get it and shoot if for a year and then send it off. It's good either way but great after a tune. Gamo's are diamonds in the rough and capable of a lot with a little work.

Having owned the rifle for over 6 years and have tried numerous other springers and PCPs, so I thought it is time I make some contribution to others considering purchasing the rifle.
Firstly, I want to make a strong remark to those that have considered this rifle inaccurate.
Having won many smallbore rifle shooting competitions I know that many shooter converting to airgunners often neglect the fact that the projectile in a air rifle is not fired from a sealed casing as bullets are, but are ...

I bought it in Sports Authority even thinking that it is most likely lower class of air rifles.
Using also similar type of rifles as hobby I got impression that some of the models went too fast to achieve 1000fps velocity by expense of accuracy neglecting in the same time other mechanical features wich should be modified in the same time in order to maintain good accuracy.

I have been collecting air rifles for a while. I have some of the classics: RWS 54 .22, 52 .22, 48 .177, IZH 61, Benjamin Sheridans .20 and .22, Crossman 1000X. They are all great shooters with lots of power and great accuracy. Even the $94 Crossman was a great and pleasent find! and one of my favorites to shoot.
I have been looking at the 220 for a while, attracted by the extraordinary good looks and feel of the gun. I would go time and time again to the isle at Cabelas and handle the gu ...

OK, forget the scopes and bench rests. We took the Gamo 220 Hunter Combo .177 out to a field and set up tin cans at 70 yards. While my son was blasting away with a .22 rifle, I was calmly knocking over the cans before he could even chamber another round. It may not put a five shot group into 1/4", but the fun we had in the field saved this gun from being sold. Go out and plink around - it may leave you with good memories (I can still see the aggravated look on his face when he had to walk th ...

I have used this gun for varmit hunting, but it is a very inaccurate. The only good thing about this gun is the 1000 fps and has good knock down power( if you can hit your target). It is a good gun after you sight it in but after a few kickbacks you will have to sight it once again.

I have an old pump pellet gun that I have been using for the distinguished job of rodent eradication. It gives decent power, but I got sick of having to give it ten hard pumps to get the job done. This caused me to head out into the scary world of spring loaded air guns. I settled on the Gamo Hunter 220 Combo because I didn't want something Chinese, and I was reasonably happy with the reviews that I had read.
I bought the gun 2 weeks ago and for the first 4 days was extremely disappointe ...

My dad bought the Gamo 220 Hunter Combo .177 e for me this past Christmas for $125 and was fairly satisfied with it until "the problems occurred". First when I opened it the stock was extremely loose and part of the barrel seal was damaged. After a month the front fiber optic just fell out as I was walking out into my yard but they gave me a new one for free without hesitation. Then it stopped accepting flathead pellets by falling straight through the barrel. One day I walked out to shoot and s ...

This review is based on ten months of ownership of the Gamo 220 Hunter Combo .177. No matter what pellets I used, I could not make a grouping smaller than 3" from ten meters using a bench rest. My Crosman 760 which is 24 years old, groups better than the Gamo. Out in the field, this airgun is not too hard to carry while hunting. If only it can consistently hit the target, I would be very happy with this airgun. Once it does hit it's mark, squirrels don't have a chance. One shot is all it takes t ...

I purchased this Gamo 220 Hunter Combo .177 Air rifle at accademy and it took me a while to sight it accuratly, but remained impressed with its speed and accuracy at LONG distances. When I had it sighted in well I could cut plastic spoons in half at 50 yards away. But after firing 4000-6000 pellets through it in around 5-6 months I got to a point where the spring broke and was forced to return it. But overall the rifle was very affordable, accurate and fast.

I told the "gun guy" at Sportsmart about what an inaccurate piece of junk the Gamo 220 Hunter Combo .177was and he said "bring it in and swap it for a new one". So I did. The new gun is good. The old one was defective.

I orginally wrote a bad review on the Gamo 220 Hunter Combo .177 Air Rifle. I'd had this gun for over 2 years and never got good accuracy out of it...not even acceptable accuracy.
I was ready to throw it in the trash. Well, I'll own up to one mistake with my review. I was using improper mounts on the Gamo and the vibration kept causing them to move. I couldnt get it to group without the scope but it had been so long since I tried with iron sights, I dont recall just how badly it shot.

I have read some negative reviews about the Gamo 220 Hunter Combo .177, and it's hard for me to believe that those people are writing about the same gun that I own. I got the Gamo 220 combo .177 around 15 months ago. Just a few weeks ago, I contacted Gamo in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I told them that I wasn't happy with the accuracy of my rifle. They told me to send them the rifle and they would either fix it or replace it. So, I packed it up and shipped it to Florida. Ten days later, I had a bra ...

Gamo 220 Hunter Combo .177:
Bad points are easily fixable. Remove one of two
trigger springs makes the trigger very easy to pull. Put a longer stage adjustment screw in trigger. Travel is now perfect. Spring lube on the main spring takes care of the twang. Should know how to slightly modify anything mechanical
if you going to be happy with it.

I've had my .177 Gamo 220 Hunter Combo now for about 2 years. I keep hoping once it 'breaks in' it will shoot accurately. I guess after 2 years, this just isn't going to happen. I didn't return it right off the bat because I know you must give springers a chance to break in. 2 years later....
Power is good. Mine chronys at about 900 to 950fps using Beeman Gold hollowpoints. If any of you have a Gamo that you do find accurate, a trigger tune is a must. I got a new trigger blade from www.charlied ...

I had this gun for at least 5 days and I just sighted it in yesterday; it's in the 10 ring every time. I was shooting at 25 yards; it does pretty well at 50 yards also. This is an overall great hunting gun. It's good for chipmunks, squirrels rabbits and pigeons. I got my Gamo at Gander Mountain for $179.99 which is a good price considering the suggested retail price $225. Good luck shooting and remember 2 tighten up the screws on the scope.
