Maybe it,s me but I dont like Gamo,s. I have done 5 paratroopers now (behave!) and swear that seen 4 different variants of them. done a couple of mk6 meteors, which I think are a good value for a 2nd hand gun but I dont like them. I have also done an ASI Magnum and a CF 20. The only reason I had the CF 20 for a bit was I quite liked the pop up breech and the feel of the gun with all the spacers I put in to get the tension on the spring. I just find them lacking in character really. Anybody else feel this about certain guns? I forgot to mention that I am not very keen on pump ups or Co2 either. had a 1377 and a 766, The 1377 I sold because I would have had to wait about 3 months to get the exhaust valve and the 766 I gave away. I dont like pumping (tennis elbow) and the lack of any recoil although I appreciate they can be a good tool. The build quality is crap (SELF TAPPING SCREWS!). I also did a Daisy 717 which I gave to my postie and a 922 that I gave to my Nephew. I do have a 1300 pistol paced away. After messing with some broken C02 Crosmans I decided they were not my thing although one for plinking may be on the cards in future. Never tried a pcp but it seems a lot of trouble to go to if you only want to kill tin cans and bottle caps. a sad man.
