Before I bought mine I heard Gamo rifles were very accurate. I too am not impressed with this model. There's also a big difference between shooting Gamo platinum pellets and non platinum pellets. You must rewire the scope when changing ammo.

Look up artillery hold, make sure all scope mounts are tight. Use a heavier pellet like Kodiaks Chances are its how your shooting. Can't use a test with Springers

I have been shooting mine with a 1100 fps pellet gun. It makes a noise and swings some, but doesn't make it swing up all the way requiring a shot to reset.

I have mine mounted on an M&P10; (308). The recoil seems to give the firedot a little problem as mine blinks out occasionally and needs to be turned on again? I have mounted it on my AR15 platform with no problems. It might just be my scope and it may be a defect. However the scope has great optics.

Hi Karla, I have not had time to play with it that much. Try using the continuous shooting speed (Tv) and see if it helps.

I would check to make sure there is not a pellet jammed or a piece smashed in the barrel break. otherwise i have no other suggestions but to call gamo.The gun may already be cocked, so just dry fire it once and see. I have never had this problem. good luck

Mine did need a small amount of calibration, my elevation line was too high. Fire at a fixed target from a padded flat surface.Mark your targets and check your calibration accordingly.

it is spring activated and has to be cocked for each shot. It's accuracy is very poor.

Yes, but only once and in the beginning. It was a combination of bad pellets and me not being swift and concise when I pulled back the bolt. I regularly oil the bolt now and can start to feel when it needs oiled again. I have had the best luck and accuracy with RWS Superpoint Extra .22 pellets. I have literally tried most of the brands. I have nearly 3000 pellets I won't put through the rifle now. Some I knew would jam the bolt just how they fit in the mag. Its really not the bolt jamming, for me it was bad ammo not loading into the barrel properly resulting in a jammed bolt. I used a barrel cleaner to unjam it, with the assistance of a hammer. I thought it was ruined. I wouldn't hammer the bolt lever, as my friend did with his. It worked but bent it to hell, resulting in replacing the bolt completely. I disassembled mine completely and inspected the barrel entry, luckily there was no apparent scarring. I love this airgun and have modded every aspect of it. I'm shooting just under 1400fps with 14.5gr ammo. Rodents and squirrels are dispatched effectively and humanely. Hope this helps

I've replace the scope and done some trigger work. 50 yards is probably the max for accuracy. The stock trigger is garbage.

First what kind of ammo are you using are they factory or reloads second check your ejector and your slide something as simple as fouling can be the cause

Are you using a scope? Or any kind of iron sight? It may appear to shoot to the left but it may be your scope adjusted wrong. And I have also had issues with that. I replaced it with a higher tension spring which helped it shoot a lot straighter. Hope this helps

Not consistently for a 6.7 grain load. I have not tried for rifle weight loads.

Sorry, can't help. This was a gift for a grandson. I have not handled it. I did see him shooting it and it operated fine. He has an m4 he uses at the games.

The gun I put the scope on was a gamo shadow fox 1250 that shot about 850 fps with the lead pellets I was using and didn't make it past ten shots. The reverse recoil just tore it up as well as 4 other low end scopes. I put a Bushnell on it and it holds up.

Mine has held up fine to 7.62x39. Has not lost its zero yet after 100's of rounds. Best bet would be to try it and if it fails send it back. Good luck

I could never get it to shoot straight on my rifle let alone a shotgun Piece of Crap far as I am concerned!

Mine will not hold a zero after 10 rounds in my M-44 Mosin Nagant. I will try loc-tite but have little hope of success.The scope does not appear to be moving at all and yet the point of impact moves several inches after every shot.The scope may be broken at this point.
