My Gamo Spring gun, doing what it does best!

Time to ruffle some feathers šŸ˜‚. I’m sure your Gamo Springer is a gift from Artemis herself. Mine, not so much.Ā

Far as I know, it’s a Spring, not a Ram. I think I will take it apart one of these days just for the heck of it and see.Ā 

I bought it new after watching one of those No Fluff videos & it actually shot accurately for the first little while. Albeit Very Harsh shooting.

Looks like they don’t make it easy to take apart either. Will save as a project for when I have nothing better to do.Ā 
 
1) I’ll have to find my old folder with my accu targets. Mine was very accurate in 117. I probably used cp heavies but can’t remember.Ā 

2) the no fluff videos are not near as bad as the idiot on ā€œairgun explorationsā€ or whatever it’s called. Every gun he reviews shoots dimes at 50 yards. So why buy a high dollar PCP if the super cheap springer is shooting dimes at fifty too? Lol. I argued with him once on a gun I knew he fudged numbers for and he simply said ā€œno one else knows how to shoot a springer if they can’t do what I’m doingā€. I pointed out he is on camera, lots of people shoot from a bench.Ā 
 
Watched the video. ā€œGAMO Redfireā€ really lol. They pay how much to talk up that pellet. Hunting at 50ish yards with a break barrel?? I’ve also never seen a magnum 177 pellet do well in a non pcp... ā€œohp I pulled it, flierā€, next 4 shots touching that one lol Then the NC to Texas example becomes null by the ā€œtry different pelletsā€ comment



Ok here is a radical idea that has upset me for aĀ very long time. Why do these companies put more emphasis on velocity then accuracy? With all the people and their BC pic nowadays why not emphasize ā€œmatch levelā€ accuracy? More accurate, more deadly. We seem to keep making more break barrels that keep keeping up in velocity. How many people get turned off from airguns after buying their magnum NP2s that everyone on TV has their name on and come to find out after 20 different pellets and a thousand rounds later they’re barely hitting pie plates at 25. I don’t know, from my experience a lower FPE out of a underleverĀ is better then higher FPE out of a break barrel.Ā 
 
Totally agree 270windude (side noteĀ great caliber).



The Gamos and the NP2s of the world are like the snake eating its own tail, for as you say long term they would make more money if consumers have confidence in their product. Perfect example is Weihrauch. I buy Weihrauch again and again for 4x more than any Gamo rifle because I know it is not junk. To be honest though it is videos like Rick’s in the industry that doesn’t keep these companies in line. If you only show the good stuff and no actual performance issues then you are not doing justice to the review process.
