Gammo air rifles?

If your pellets are going supersonic then the gun is loud. You get that sonic crack sound. Some say that the gamo scope is horrible and to upgrade. The guns are rough on scopes and the Gamo one drops zero fast.
Another thing to try is a different pellet. Heavier, shape, etc.. I love the crosman premium hollow points or domes. The domes give me the best groups no matter what brand. Pointed tips, wadcutters, balistic stuff all scatter at anything past 20 yds.
My Benjaman NP and my Beeman both shoot great with the crosman premier. Available at walmart.

Pba pellets are a gimmick and will produce the worst accuracy. Fun to hear them crack when you shoot them though. You can NOT. use a regular rifle scope on these guns. I will shake apart in no time. These rifles have what they call double recoil. You need a scope that is designed for this. You can get em at Walmart if you don't want to spend a lot. Take your Redfield off before it gets destroyed. You will also get better accuracy from the proper scope. High power air guns are a hoot. I just got my 2nd one.

No double recoil on mine (Nitro vs. metal spring). The Gamo scope isn't quality, that's for sure.

Always buy an air rifle scope is what I've been told.

The NP will eliminate torque assocoated with a spring but it does nothing for the double recoil. You STILL have the piston being driven forward and the slam when it hits the end of the chamber. So you still need an AG rated scope.

I have several years of shooting a springer and recently got into my new Nitro Piston. Did hours and Hours of research on these crazy guns. I too thought that a nitro would eliminate the double recoil.... Till I spent time shooting with some seasoned shooters. I continue to learn more and more each day. Noiw, the PCP co2, or compressed air models do not have double recoil. But those are a different animal all together. And much more $$$
Surf around on this site. A ton of info and great reading. You will learn a lot about making your airguns the best they can be. Best part is that a lot of the mod parts are cheap. A trigger is about 25 bucks and makes a world of differance. It was the 1st thing I got for my benjamin nitro after shooting it 1 time. Its crazy how small little things on these rifles makes the shoot way off target.
