Can't hit with a Gamo July 8 2008 at 9:17 PM		(Login terrykuz) YC


Anyway, I visit my brother in San Diego, and he hands me a Gamo spinger with a 4X scope to shoot an infestation of rabbits. The rifle was from Cabelas, and I assume the 4X scope was part of a package. It was crazy, I could not hit squat. I could barely manage to get an erratic 2 inch group at 10 yards! I think it was the scope. So, are spingers that sensitive to hold/technique? Was the scope bad? Is the gun junk? Ammo? I was shooting a 177 pellet with a BB glued in the center. It was the only ammo available. I shoot in the same hole at 10 yards with my compressed air rifles. For reference, what would be a good low cost scope that will hold up to a springer?

More likely it's the scope or the pellet than the rifle - Warren Chilton on Jul 8, 2008, 9:51 PM

Ammo and technique probable. Scope unlikely culprit. - VPilot on Jul 8, 2008, 9:57 PM
