“Great backyard target gun.”
Written on: 12/12/2012 by jcrider1947
I recently set up a portion of my backyard for target shooting with pellet guns. The Gamo Cadet Delta Is perfect for this. I like the sites, accuracy, and it has descent enough power. It's light and dependable. I have another pellet gun that shoots 1000fps. It am concerned about the neighbors becoming concerned about this, and the possibility that a pellet might go into their property and damage something. The gamo cadet is a little under 600fps and is relatively quiet yet has enough... (read more)

Written on: 10/05/2011
This is a great starter for a new shooter in the back yard between the ages of 6years to 8 or 9 years. My son 8 can load it himself and shoot very accurate in our small back yard. He shoots hi .22 long rifle any time we are in the woods. We are having fun plinking with his friends. I think older children will grow tired of the 525 fps. The rating given is for the younger age group would have scored it much lower for older shooters. If you are an adult get a real gun and for the sake of... (read more)

I have a Gamo 22 Delta Air rifle and used it several times. It was very accurate and did do some damage to the targets. It is the best first gun for one to start with target practice and then go for higher versions. I would recomend this to young teensto as it will not do much harm to others.

Written on: 09/02/2011 by AlmostArctic (2 reviews written)
The Gamo Delta Cadet was my second air rifle, but I treat it like my first since the real first rifle was a Chinese army model that only gave me a taste for something more serious.
I truly enjoyed the light weight, easy handling and excellent accuracy, even at medium ranges, but the reason I cannot, whole heartedly, give this otherwise wonderful rifle a perfect overall score is it's very poor performance at long range target practicing. This rifle is simply too weak for targets over 30...

I've had this rifle for a while now and overall, it is an excellent first gun. As for accuracy, I'm not really sure because in all fairness I've only used awful scopes on it that always move around, but it is great for plinking. I also own a RWS model 34 which weights over nine pounds with all my equipment on it and that is a great gun, but it is just fun to see the difference between the handling of these two because the Gamo is so light. After some use the cocking effort also gets very... (read more)

I just got the Gamo Cadet Delta gun at the Italian Sporting goods here in Vancouver,it's a nice gun to shoot , smooth trigger and light weight .The only thing I am not sure about is the plastic parts , on the barrel locking mechanism and the hindges ( I hope it holds )
This one is the de-tuned canadian version (490 fps). Too bad the original 525 fps is not legal here. Can sure use the extra 35 fps . Over-all this is an excellent gun for the money

The short stock really fits the young kid that I bought it for but why does it have to be so wide around the grip area? Come on guys it's suppose to be for a youngster and I have trouble getting my full size hand around it. This rifle is surprisingly accurate out to 15 yards. Groups of .75" are regular occurrence but what I found really annoying was the rear sight can be inadvertently pushed from side to side without much effort and I believe this will get worse with time.

I bought this with my son in mind. His first gun, and what a choice I made. He's 6 and new to the sport and I didn't want to ruin his excitement by buying a cheap crosman or daisy product and have him hit the neighbor instead of the target. It took only 5 shots to zero it in. And at 30 feet, this thing puts 9 of 10 shots in a 2 inch circle, without a scope! The trigger pull is great and the strength required to cock it is so minimal, that my son does it easily. (read more)

For those of you who dont think it will take down small game you are wrong. Here in California squirrel season is open and this gun has already taken down at least 10 on my 3 acres. the scope it came with broke after about a month but then I put on a small daisy scope and sighted it in at about 8 yards. man everything I shoot at it hits. Granted it starts to drop at about 35-40 yards. I compared it to my Crosman 760 (since the velocity is close) and it is way quieter. One of the squirrels I... (read more)

This was my first air rifle. I've long since sold it, but it was a fun, cheap way to enter the sport to test the waters. Mine came with a cheap 2x BSA scope that wasn't worth the box it was packed in. At a rated 525 FPS, the rifle does have the power to take very small game. I've taken squirrels and chipmunks with it at 15 yards (using Gamo match pellets, I believe).
The cocking effort was so light, my wife could do it, and even she enjoyed it as a backyard plinker for popping balloons.

Written on: 19/08/2007 by newgunsmell (1 review written)
The reason I purchased this rifle was to improve my 10 meter air rifle shooting skills and as an introductory rifle for my oldest son. I liked the overall finish and construction of the rifle, but I had to return it due to the 1.25" groups at 10 meters. I also own a Baikal IZH-46M air pistol and it's more than twice as accurate as the Gamo Delta.
Testing:
I shot at five bulls with 5 shots for each bull. I used Gamo Match (wadcutter) pellets. I'm not sure about the weight or speed of the...

I have had the Gamo 177.cal gun now for roughly 6 months and it has been one of the best gun's I've owned so far due to its lightweight body and it's easy cocking barrel which i find to be an advantage when shooting live targets.
The gun has never broke or malfunctioned and has ran smoothly since i purchased it in February 2006.
I would highly recommend this gun to anyone looking for a starter rifle as it offers many features and is an easy gun to start up with.

Accurate to 120+ yards? Sorry -- but no chance! With a muzzle velocity of 525 FPS, your average 7.9 grain pellet is going be several feet below your aim point at 120 yards (if not on the ground!)

I had picked one of the Gamo Cadet Deltas up about 6 years ago and I am still amazed with how accurate the thing is. In my point of view it is good but not the best in every single way I have owned it this long and it just keeps getting more and more accurate! But lately it has lost it all it seems at the 4-5 year mark it seems to break down and it seems much weaker the it was. But I would recommend it!

Hunting at a distance of 50 yards with a rifle that's barely got enough power to penetrate a coke bottle? I somehow find that hard to believe.

<br>Are the scope rails metal or plastic? If they are plastic, don't screw on the mounts so hard, if you have a scope that is.

Try using a scope with a 1 piece mount. That might help. It could have been the consistency of you or your sons breathing, or it could have been the hold on your rifle; whether you were holding it like a vice. Springers don't respond well to tight grips. It could have been the consistency of your position of your eye relief. You also need to follow through on the rifle, meaning, gently squeezing the trigger as opposed to snatching it, taking the shot waiting for 2-3 seconds, or when the pellet hits the target.
<br>
<br>Try to re-practice these and you may find it might help mate.

I have had the Gamo Cadet Delta air rifle for about 2 years, and have found it to be very accurate, very easy to cock, has low recoil, and it's good for back-packing because of its light weight. I have used it to kill a lot of rodents and some birds, which it does OK on, but when you get to something a little bigger like a rabbit, your going to have to take more than one shot. I have enjoyed it when having to carry it on my pack, and I don't even notice it's there. Its major draw back is its... (read more)

I have three different guns: A Remington 77, Benjamin 397, and the Gamo Delta. The delta is my first pick of the three. This .117 cal rifle is accurate and powerful at the same time. It shoots pellets only and with out needing multiple pumps it uses up your pellets pretty fast. My Benjamin shoots 800fps and the delta shoots 525. The benjamin can shoot through a soup can and out the other side. The delta can shoot through the can also. For 525 it has a very hard impact.

Feels like a toy. It would be better with more power. But for 75 bucks and its one pump action it's not bad. Most rifles that price need multiple pumps, very annoying. Also very tiring.

I bought the Gamo Cadet Delta rifle a few months ago used. It's an excellent rifle in his category, light, easy to cock and load, accurate, well balanced and low maintenance.
I have a lot of fun shooting it.
The most important thing I find wrong in this rifle is the power, it is low but for the purpose of the rifle is good.
The stock is short for and adult (it is a rifle for kids) but this is not important.
the trigger can be better.

Is this a joke, or have you simply never shot another air rifle before to compare with? Loud? Recoil? The Delta is by no means loud, and it's low power contributes to its very low recoil.
