I had one, lovhing to death i shot everything from starling up through raccoon. then i traded it in for a beeman R9 loved that thing too(bigger pellet and more accuaratethan the gamo but it came with a heft price tag of about $400) then i sold that this smmer and bought a ruger10/22 and pimped it out. i still wishi never got rid of my gmo though.... loved that thing, wont do you wrong. Check out the beeman ram-jet pellets for it. I got my gamo to shoot 1" groups at 50 yards with em.
