I got this gun last week, and I love it, but I'm wanting to know from people who have had it for a while, how does this gun do in the long run 2-3 yrs

You are one of the lucky ones. Evidently the one we received from Amazon had been returned to them and then they sold it again. We have had nothing but problems with the gun. In our opinion it is not worth the money spent. We have tried everything anyone suggested: new scope, better mounts, tried 5 different pellets and even resorted to sending it back to GAMO and they returned it working the same as prior to sending it back. Good luck with yours.

I bought mine used almost a year ago. I do not know the actual age of my Bone Collector, but it has been shot at least 1000 times so far. The original scope and mounts cannot handle the double-recoil of the gun. Plan on upgrading to a beefy 1 piece scope mount right away! Depending on usage this rifle should last many years.

I bought this several years ago and mine has since broken. The magazine has a weight in it so if you drop it a few times it will probably break apart like mine did. Also after extended use the barrel started cracking. For the price it is not bad to play around with for fun. Just don't expect it to withstand the test if time.

I personally can say that I am very satisfied with my air rifle purchase. So far it seems to hold up to everything I remember as a kid with the one I had then. My brother-in law has an older model from the past and everything looks more or less the same. Being honest I must say that my new air rifle will most likely not come close to the use my older model did. I just don't seem to be as interested in pumping the handle as much! The first two hundred rounds I have fired so far, have been with no problems so far. Hope this helps you with your decision.

it has good range. its hopup unit is one of the best ive ever seen but the gun mis feeds to common so it doesnt shoot steady. great gun for a sniper or cqb but i wouldnt use it for assault in a field game as my first choice. and iron sites suck no rails for a site either

Used one in my Z, has been pretty good for a few years, although finally dying - the locks, to the actuator's credit, are really stiff though. I used the other one to remote-fire a paintball gun behind my front grille, and it's held up even better :) I'd buy 'em again.

I asked my son and he said it jams all the time. He said they just use it as a toy gun and never load the ammo anymore. Hope that helps.

Mine is holding up real well. At first it was a lil snug on the gun and mag, but it eased up and it's still in great shape. I wear it everyday and the mag dosnt poke me or protrude.

I believe this gun will last several years even under heavy use. If you start a using CO2 cartridge you might as well finish it as it will slowly leak off in a few weeks

I do that anyways so far I see no problem.The gun looks very sturdy.It is just hard to get a good group.May be it's too light or the components are not well designed.I will not recommend this gun at the 240.00$ price range.

The battery life is not great. Even keeping the laser off most of the time, the battery still drains. BUT... the Viridian laser is Great! It's worth having to change the batteries every 4-5 months to have that 'instant on' when you pull the gun out of the holster. I rarely shoot my LCP. I shot it at the range to check the alignment of the laser, but it's basically a 'get off me' type weapon, so I'm not concerned about running a lot of rounds through it.

to be honest buddy - the gun broke the second time my daughter used it. I would save your money and get a better gun, you will have much more fun with a better gun. My daughter bought a better gun and she loves it

In my opinion, i would go for it. my gun is really powerful, and has been pretty reliable. the problems are the clip holds only around 25, and 6 or so pop out in the gun. it is also relly flimsy, the handle wobbles, and came off recently. the scope doesnt magnify, and the regular sight snapped off in the box. but for the price, definetly worth it.

I bought this rifle about a year ago and it has let me down yet. Its build pretty solid. So as long as you take care of it properly you shouldn't have a problem. Its very accurate especially if you use the PBA Platnium pellets. I would recommend it to anyone. 5 out of 5 hands down.

I've had mine for about 3 months now and haven't notice any ill effects on the gun or magazine

I carry this gun as a duty weapon. I have had it for 8 years and only had 1 jam at the range due to cheap ammo.i have the 40 gve and love it.

Yes...don't shoot this gun on 6 round burst for a long time. The mechanism freezes, and gun won't fire. Have en fun!!
