beatingisbest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Did you look at this website? http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews8493.html I have heard they are very good by the way. Dont you think you should have asked this question before you ordered one though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLINSRI Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I have looked at this myself and asked a similar question. The Gamo is spanish arm of BSA so does have a good pedigree. For info, Gamo is actually translates as 'stag' in spanish. The bottom line is they are full legal power and very accurate. They are a lot of rifle for the money. One critiscm was that the springs are weak and would be better replaced for a better spring (cost...£18). If i didn't already have two new rifles I would defo consider it. In fact somebody on here is selling one. Have you looked through the 'for sale' section on here yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatingisbest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 (edited) what the heck does groups mean when your talking about a gun ? - newbie A good group is when the pellets bunch up in a really small space on a piece of card or paper eg 0.5" inch diameter of pellets in a 5/10 shot group at 25 yards Edited May 3, 2006 by beatingisbest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoBBo Posted May 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 when u say a gone is 11lb's or whatever are you talking about power , explain it plz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Hi, If a rifle exceeds 12 ft/lbs of power it is classed a section 1 firearm and would need to be on a firearms certificate. (FAC) So 11 ft/lbs is a good power because it less likely to accidently go over the limit. If your gun is found to be to powerful then you will have it destroyed and could face jail. It's best to be safe. I expect somebody who knows more about the law than me will explain it better. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
