Product Description

The Gamo hunter sport sends pellets flying at 1200-Feet Per Second. This rifle is a spring-piston break barrel gun and comes with a 3-9x40-Millimeter BSA scope and rings. The fluted bull barrel will make this rifle the envy of your friends. The well-balanced hardwood Monte Carlo stock has a raised cheek piece on both sides, making this rifle truly ambidextrous. A ventilated rubber butt-pad helps keep the rifle snugly in your shoulder while softening the recoil. The cocking effort is relatively light and may be suitable for some younger shooters (with adult supervision). You can customize the trigger let-off to your personal tastes, because the two-stage trigger is adjustable. When you cock the rifle, an anti-bear trap mechanism automatically engages to protect your fingers. If you use Gamo Raptor pellets, you will get maximum velocity from your rifle. If you use lead pellets, your velocity will be up to 1000-Feet Per Second.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty close to being a tack driver, May 29, 2009

This review is from: Gamo Hunter Sport Air Rifle (Sports)

This gun has now been in my hands for a couple of weeks. In that time, I have shot well over 200 rounds of Beeman pointed pellets. After getting the scope zeroed in, at 25 yards, was able to achieve a very tight group. Instead of holes, I was cutting paper, as the grouping was that tight. The scope was to have been bored sighted, but don't think this was the case as it was not even close when the gun was first shoot. Be ready to spend some time to zero in. Once done, it seems to hold the settings.

The scope does provided a bright picture, but it could be a bit sharper when it comes to being focused.

After zeroing in the scope, I wanted to check out the drop of the pellet at longer ranges. Placed a cup out near the 50-yard line, thinking if I fire at it, I should be able to see some dust before the cup that would give a good idea of pellet drop. With the first shot, the cup jumped. Thought OK, this must have been one of those lucky things. Taking a second shot, the cup again jumped. So zeroing the scope at the short range I did, 25 yards, I was still able to hit a target at near 50 yards.

The tiger is a bit stiff, but you are not paying for a high-end target rifle here. The first few shots were rather loud. After several shots had been taken, the sound was a bit softer. The loudness may have been the results of oil left over from the manufacturing process, as there was smoke only for the first few shots.

Cocking the rifle does not take much effort and the pellet loads very well with the skirt being flush with the end of the barrel. Finding a few pellets that had been fired allowed me to see the rifling marks. These were good and were very uniformed around the entire pellet.

There are just a couple of minor things that could use improvements. The sharpness of the scope. Again, not bad, but could be better. And the trigger pull could be a bit lighter. Even with the adjustment screw, it is still a bit stiff. But my target rifle could have spoiled me here.

Over all, this is a fine, adult fitting, pellet rifle for the price.

recently became the owner of the hunter sport. I am very satisfied with this rifle. very accurate and powerful. would recomend this rifle to all friends, just make sure you have a wide open space when shooting because this shoots right through a fence no problem ( my brother has a nice ding in his car about 50 yards behind the fence... . .a very effective varmit killing machine.
