I wanted .22 cal, something with a gas cylinder and no sproing.

Best deal I could find and they are quick to ship (although e-mail ship and order status updates are very lacking.)

Gamo Silent Stalker Whisper Air Rifle 22PEL 975fps 18" Black Synthetic Silent Stalker Whisper with Inert Gas Technology w/ 3-9x40 Scope Single Shot 611004925554



Nice surprises from Sig on the 716 too!

This:

From the work order:

Inspected the rifle
Polished the chamber
Cleaned up gas port at the valve to ensure proper function
Cleaned up the hammer and trigger
Test fired with no malfunctions. Provided the mag used during test fire as a courtesy.

I also found other presents! QD sling parts in the buttstock, and a nice little handwritten post-it note from the Smith tucked inside the grip.

"Cleaned up your Trigger. Cool to work on guns coming from a state I lived in for 39 years. Happy shooting... Mike B."

Trigger went from worst, grittiest ever, to possibly better than my Noveske.

Hope she runs now. That .308 group buy hasn't closed yet. Our .45 JHP was supposed to be in this week but didn't.

I picked up 400 rds PPU .308 from Wideners at a good price to tide me over.
