    Are dot sights springer rated?

    I used three - Tacticon, OTW Red Dot and Pinty - all less than $50 on GAMOs. None have lasted with less than 100 rounds. The dots turn into rectangles and jelly.

    GAMO DOVETAIL RAIL DEFORMED

    I figured out the problem. Firstly, I'm using a leapers mount that does have a recoil pin. GAMOs mount are not good, as Crosmans are also not good. That being the case, what was the problem? Took a good look at the dovetail section of the barrel. As the recoil slammed the recoil pins against the...

    GAMO DOVETAIL RAIL DEFORMED

    Had a talk with GAMO this morning. They never had any experience of a rifle barrel (that holds the scope mounts) deform. Also, changing the barrel would be expensive. Suggested trying different mounts and rings. I'll think about it and your suggestions. Thanks.

    GAMO DOVETAIL RAIL DEFORMED

    I have the gun up for sale here but when I figured it was defective i tried to cancel the sale (still not sure how to do that). in any case, i wanted $50 plus shipping. I do like the gun. Its a GAMO Wildcat Whisper springer with a gas driven cylinder, not a spring. It's very powerful and was...

    GAMO DOVETAIL RAIL DEFORMED

    Hey, thanks guys, but I'm an old guy and I'm pretty tired fixing this springer. I've tried so many techniques to get this done, but nothing has worked. Want to buy a gun?

    GAMO DOVETAIL RAIL DEFORMED

    Had a lot of trouble getting a mount to say firm on a GAMO springer. After many tries, I think the problem is that the dovetail rails are deformed and therefore all the mounts do not say put. After 4 or 5 shots the mounts slide toward the stock. Loctite does not make any difference. Cleaned...

    WTS: GAMO WILDCAT WHISPER - .177 Caliber

    Thought the barrel was deformed as the cause of loose mounts so I canceled the sale. But GAMO said they never heard of the barrel (dovetail slots) deforming. So if anyone wants this gun its still up for sale and I'll pay 1/2 the shipping cost.

    WTS: GAMO WILDCAT WHISPER - .177 Caliber

    I bought this gun a year ago for $120.00 for fiddling around in my backyard for targets and squirrels that invade my bird feeders. I'm 79y/o and thought it would be a good past-time - WRONG! The gun is accurate and very powerful, and that is the problem. I can't get a scope mount to stay firm...

    GAMO SCOPE MOUNT ACCESSORY

    The BKL have a great reputation and following, but there are also folks who found them not so great; they slipped and lost their grip. I'm trying a Leapers UTG Universal Dovetail to Picatinny/Weaver Rail Adaptor. It's a nifty set-up with four tightening screws that actually pull the dovetail...

    GAMO SCOPE MOUNT ACCESSORY

    The RRR is different. This is a short piece that attaches to the dovetails on the original barrel.

    GAMO SCOPE MOUNT ACCESSORY

    GAMO makes a barrel mount that fits into the 3/8' dovetail grooves on the original barrel. The accessory that they sell has three tightening screws and a recoil hole with 3/8" dovetails that run the length of this accessory. I'm not sure how long it is but I imagine less than 10" and more than...

    MOUNT THAT CAN HANDLE GAMO RECOIL

    I've been using a UTG 1PC Offset Airgun Mount w/Stop Pin on a GAMO Wildcat Whisper. It was great for about 4 months and then began to move. Checked it out and the stop pin was sheared off from the recoil. Tried moving it up the barrel as I needed more space between me and the scope. Was fine for...

    SCOPE INCONSISTENCY - INHERENT?

    GAMO was sure that the rounding of the hole was my fault. I was pretty religious about keeping the rings/mounts tight to the receiver. If I sent it back to GAMO, it would cost me around $80 if they fix it. Just not worth the time and cost. Let me know how drilling another recoil hole works...

    SCOPE INCONSISTENCY - INHERENT?

    Took off the scope and mount and the recoil pin hole is clearly deformed. Called Gamo a number of times this morning, but couldn't get anyone. it's under warranty and this gun should be replaced. Man, this airgun thing was supposed to be a relaxing hobby!

    SCOPE INCONSISTENCY - INHERENT?

    I spoke with GAMO and the tech said she thought the recoil hole in the gun was designed 'oblong' but would check and call me back. Haven't gotten a call back yet. I'll check with them again and let you know. The gun is only 6 months old and I haven't heard of this problem before, i.e., elongated...
