i looked back through the postings to see what was said about gamo rifles. I was suprised to see they were a bit slated. I own a 440 in 22cal and i am more than happy with it the accuracy is good it is reliable and well made. I realise there are better rifles on the market however here in nz they are not cheap a decent webly or hw is twice the price . the point im making is that the best thing about air rifles is they are inexpensive. if i was going to spend two weeks wages on a rifle i would buy a 22 rimfire ruger semi auto or similar and have better accuracy far more firepower and lest weight to cart about .
