    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

    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

    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...

    WTT: UTG SCOPE

    Just received a UTG 3-12X44 30mm Compact Scope, AO, 36-color Mil-dot, Rings for my 80th birthday. It’s a bit much for me: too heavy for me with my GAMO air rifle. I’m willing to swap it for a UTG 3-9×32 AO Compact CQB Bug Buster, which is half the weight. Scope is brand new in box.

    UTG SWAP?

    Just received a UTG 3-12X44 30mm Compact Scope, AO, 36-color Mil-dot, Rings for my 80th birthday. It's a bit much for me: too heavy for me with my GAMO air rifle. I'm willing to swap it for a UTG 3-9x32 AO Compact CQB Bug Buster, which is half the weight. Scope is brand new in box.

    SCOPE INCONSISTENCY - INHERENT?

    I've been using a medium priced Crosman on my GAMO. After I zeroing it, its perfect: a pleasure to use. Wait! Next day it's off and need adjustment. Zeroed again: no problem. Next day, have to re-adjust it. Are scopes under a $100 inherently inconsistent, react to the weather, need a couple of...

    CROSMAN NIGHTMARE

    Make a long story short: Crosman's customer service has sent me (4) $60 scopes and various mounting rings. All of the scopes (their bulk scopes supplied with higher priced rifles) have been defective. I've also found that the ring screws loosen after a few shots. I think I have a few solutions...

    LOOSE MOUNTS

    I've had a number of scope mounts from Crosman that have all loosened after firing a couple of times with a GAMA Whisper. I have a dovetail to picatinny coming soon and wondered if I should just locktite the Crosman screws? Opinions? Advice?

    LIGHTWEIGHT SPRINGER?

    Looking for a springer less than 7 pounds and that cocks fairly easy. (Have a bad arm that limits me.) Use it mainly for targets and squirrels at shorter ranges - up to 40 yards. Price $150 or less, or $200 for something special. Something with synthetic stock would be fine. Have tried Crosman...

    LUBRICATE SCOPE?

    As a replacement for a defective scope, Crosman sent me one that you can dial in the yardard by turning the focal mechanism on the front of the scope. It ranges from 5 yards to infinity. Only problem is that it is very tight and hard to dial in the lower distances. Tried putting it to 5 yards...

    Help w/Sighting Centerpoint 3-9x50mm

    Had an Optimus sent to me for the one I got that was defective. They included a cheap scope which was also defective and sent me the Centerpoint 3-9x50. Can't get it to work. Every shot is low and to the right at 25 yards. Tried dialing up and to the left and its still low and to the right...

    SIGHTING OPTIMUS

    Had the gun for about 2 months. No matter how I sight it, it hits high and to the left. Is it me or the sights or the gun? (There the sights that come with the gun.) Any advice is more than welcome.
