i started off with a gamo silver shadow......MOST ACURATE GUN I EVER SHOT....must of been a luckky one of the production line i can make pellets touch at 40 yards...that is im using match pellets and a 4-16x56 scope but yea the best gun i ever shot in my life...i actually like it more then most of my rifles b.c it s SOOOOO cheap to shoot...the thing is with the break barrel you have to mke shure its at the smae spot every time if u want exact accuracy, WORD OF ADVICE the new genisis look nice but gamo shadows are the most acurate and the silver is nickle plated ill try to get pics in a bit
