#gogamo "Silent Cat". i've gone through a few gamo rifles, and still have this one. one of my better $100-ish break-barrels

I've put a little paint on it since then...

Dig the paint job. Nice shooting to boot!

Bench rest at seventy feet, iron sights, one dime sized group, not bad!

That's a commercial paint job isn't it?

Thanks! A good quiet day. But I'm not quite ready for the Olympics.

2nd question... Nope. Spray-paint and sponges.

 

Well, I mean, if it is from another's POV, well, thanks!

Plink with the Swarm gen2 a lot sans the scope too. It does even better than the Silent Cat, but I like 'em a little softer shootin'.

Hug this magnum too tight and it'll leave a bruise.

Cool Paint

Well, writing about it made me wanna play. Nice thing about this gun, it's always ready to go.

Bought a $15 4x32 scope and installed it today. I do believe I shoot better open-sights than low-magnification.

Anyway, first five targets. I have a few hours light left, gonna play some more. Holler if you're interested enuff for a follow-up.



Quiet gun too. Low 80s dB, great muffled thunk, must be all of 20lbs to cock.

I have it listed elsewhere for sale, but for what little I'm asking, might as well keep it. Will make for a good evening shooter, neighbor friendly over dinner-time kinda thing.



I have "too many" guns, and it's not as accurate as some in the same price range. But dang close enuff for a buncha squirrel heads at 25Y.

tried other ammo, 'bout the same. gun shoots better than i can, but most do.

my old self is getting tired, but wanted to try one of those new-fangled dime challenges with the camo gamo.

FAILED. oh well. might as well sell the POS.



man, dem's some hard2see little dots in a 4x32!

Good shooting Frank. If it was easy it wouldn't be any fun. That rifle shoots just fine and so do you!

I had a bone collector 22 that was actually pretty accurate. More so than most break barrels I've ever had even ones costing 4 or 5 times the price. I ended up giving to my buddy's son for his 8th birthday a few years ago. I still shoot it once a year or so and it is still great.
