I love this gun. over the past year i have taken 10 squirrels with this gun with open sights and one rabbit. all head shots. shot one squirrel at over 20 yards. cant understand why so many people say you can only take birds with this or thats it underpowered. a perfect backyard or suburban gun. if you can shoot this is a great little gun for small game. thinking of buying another. i use crosman pointed hunting pellets, cheap but accurate.

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.As far ...

The Gamo Cadet Delta is a excellent target rifle for a beginner.But if your are looking for something to shoot pests with, i think your would need a more powerful air rifle.

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 pell ...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. If you want a light, functional first rifle for a lady or youngster, look no further. Invest in a decent scope, treat it well and it will give a lifetime of reliable service.

Power: 525fps only suitable for paper punching really, unless your really close to a rat or small quarry.
Accuracy: amazing for a rifle of its power 1/4in at 18yds
Handling: easy cocking good for junior shooters
Overview: an inexpensive at £70 rifle absolute joy to shoot, could do with a little more power, good for a small shooter, amazing target rifle, silent as a whisper, and a another good point is its smooth cocking

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.

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! I used to get 0.95 groups with it at 50 yards and had 40 yard rabbit killing power (with the ...

Bought a Gamo Cadet Delta three days ago as Christmas gift to my son. He had problem cocking it so I end up shooting it in our back yard shoot-out. The accuracy was totally unacceptable. At about 15' a tyical 5 shot group is about 3

I bought the Gamo Cadet Delta air rifle when getting back into Club Shooting. It is very easy to cock due to lower power and the longer barrel.
This is a good starter rifle for a younger shooter.

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 LOW ...

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.
I haven't used this gun ...

I would recommend this Gamo Cadet Delta Air Rifle for people who are trying to improve their accuracy on little objects because its easy to handle (keep still) The only down side to this gun is the lack of power but it can be used to kill small game such as dove.

I've found this Gamo Cadet Delta Air Rifle to be very accurate over short distances but the lack of power really shows over long distances, however if you are are new to shooting this is a great gun.

I have had the Gamo Cadet Delta gun a couple years. I have used at least 1000 pellets with it. Mostly gamo pellets. Has been reliable and shoots accurate. It's a pretty light weight gun and is small. 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. It can take down pigeons and small birds short-range with no problems. Never could take down squirrels ...
