Gamo Air Rifles UK
Need a cheap air rifle for pest control, targets or just plinking? The Gamo range is suitable for all. Starting at just £99 for the Hornet (BSA) and £139 for the Whisper range.
Gamo Whisper X |
All of the Gamo air rifles have similar characteristics. The basic model we stock is the Whisper X. This has a pistol type grip, open sights and basic sound moderator.
The simple trigger is nice and solid, with the safety catch being just in front.
The moderator works fairly well, with a '52%' reduction in noise according to Gamo's tests
The basic rifle starts at just £139.
Other variants include the Fusion (bigger sound moderator), the IGT (Gas ram instead of spring) and the then the Camo Rocket IGT and Varmint hunter DX (both with sporter stocks instead of the pistol grip). There is also the Barricade.
As budget air rifles go these are very much in demand and you really can't go wrong with them. There are cheaper ones on the market, but you get what you pay for and Gamo have taken the quality from BSA (which they now own) and put it into their own guns.
If the synthetic stocks are not to your taste there is also the Classic available at £199 which is of similar build quality but with a wooden beech stock.
Accesories are also well priced with a 4x32 scope only costing £20. The rifles without open sights come with this scope included in the price.
For the Junior shooter there are a couple of options.
The first being the Junior Hunter. This is a small .177 rifle, packing a punch of 6ftlbs. More than enough to start shooting with.
Many prefer a synthetic tactical look and the Delta Fox GT offers a smaller version of the Whisper range with a pistol grip. Again this is in .177
If you are really into the survival nature of the outdoors, Bear Grylls has also teamed up with Gamo to produce some nice looking rifles, based on the whisper range.
Feel free to come into the shop and hold the guns and see which one feels the best. Gamo has produced a range that will suit everyone. www.diffcal.co.uk
