ok i have a gamo delta and i kill alot of squerals with it and my friend just bought one aswell we have the same guns and we see who can get the shot off first i live in a residential erea and yeah one shot kills everytime quiet and potent i shot a squeral at 25 yards head shot with it on tuesday there good pellet guns i was thinking about buying anither gun from gamo abd that would br the recon its sweet and yeah i would expect the samr thing from it as my delta i kill rabbits and grouse with it and cats are sometimes a two shot job definately go gamo if your going to buy a pellet gun and pellet guns that are 1000fps still sound like a 22 my gams costed whan i baught it 7 years ago is was 150 and i think there still the same price the only thing that has changed is they make the stock out of different materials now the recon is going to be my next pellet gun if i ever buy a new one but there is no need to my delta is like brand new still and is deadly oh did i mention it kills crows nicely too
