Gamo Arrow, .177 Caliber

This was my first air rifle since my childhood Daisy BB gun. This rifle is much heavier and as such, might need a rest to be used by those under the age of about 12.

Pros
I have owned this air rifle for about a year and it's absolutely the best value at this price point. It produces thumb size groupings at 30 yards and in .22 it gets 40-50 shots between air refills. I haven't run a chronograph but the groupings are tight enough to tell me shot velocity is consistent while the pressure gauge is in the green. Great for dispatching varmints.

Cons
The air filling valve is in a recessed area that is really hard to attach to. That being said, it's also reasonably well protected from anything you're likely to ding it with. Be advised if you have large fingers.

worthy in any collection cheap gun shoots good pay big money on ootics

Pros
cheapest pcp which will rival any pcp

Cons
plastic trigger

I got the drop on a squirrel in my bird feeder, it took off full speed, I followed it in the scope, it got about 100 yards out, it took a quick second to rock back so it could jump up a tree and I took a quickly timed shot. I heard the pellet hit the tree so I thought I missed it. Then I noticed it dropped. When I walked up on it I realized the pellet had gone through its head, out its neck and hit the tree. That was the best shot of my life. I am keeping this gun. I hope someone makes some aftermarket accessories for it.

Pros
They Should have called this thing the Gamo Laser. I can't believe how accurate this rifle is right out of the box. By the time I had the scope zeroed this gun was broken in. You cannot here the pellet, all you get is a series of clicking from the action. I don't know what they did to quiet it down but its quieter than a marauder. You need to hear it for yourself because how do you describe the sound of silence off the pellet. In my opinion this really pushes the envelope.

Cons
Don't love the front sight guard. Its loose and rattling, Ill probably put something on it to bond it better. The stock is really usable but not the best. I'm going to wait for someone to make a rubber or wood stock and swap it,

I wish they had a semi auto version
I can shoot a 3" group at 90 yards not using a rest. It's best with 11 gram pellets jsb work great. Can shoot 3 to 5 shot groups quarter size from 40 to 60 yards, 177 is awesome with this

Pros
I have 177 versionLight weight, short, very quiet and back yard friendly, super accurate out to 60 yards, get 40 good shoots out of 1 tank

Cons
Lot of plastic

Very little to complain about with this gun. yes the quality isn't the toughest the charging handle is plastic and is a bit temperamental, you have to pull down a bit and then pull back and sometimes it doesn't always go back in smoothly and feels a bit cheap but the gun is pretty cheap. The trigger isn't my favorite but not terrible, the less recoil makes up for this drawback. The total fps isn't as advertised there was definitely less power out of this gun over my break barrel but it is definitely consistent and accurate. I was getting 770 fps consistently.

Pros
Love it

Cons
Great entry level gun to get started planking or small game hunting. Lightweight low recoil very accurate and affordable. Extremely quiet. Consistent power throughout, I get 40-50 consistent shots per fill. I can shoot quarter sized groups at 25-35 yards easy with my red dot. very easy to fire and easy to use. the iron sights do work well on their own. Very comfortable gun to shoot and get started with.

The positives way out weigh the negatives. The Airgun Depot service is excellent and the Arrow is well worth the price especially if you want to get into PCP's and don't want to spend a tremendous amount of money.

Pros
Great gun for the price. I get about 70 shots per fill shooting Crosman 14.3 hollow point pellets at an average of 716 feet per second. This gun shoots about 52 shots like it is regulated (10 ft/sec max spread for 40 shots) and is a fun plinker. I bought it to have fun plinking with it and to teach my grandsons gun safety, handling, and shooting. Very quiet and the mag functions very well. Shooting 5/8" groups at 25 yards using JSB 15.89 pellets from a bench. It's light and great for offhand shooting as well. Plenty of knock down power for squirrels and rabbits out to at least 40 yards. It also is hand pump friendly (if hand pumping is ever friendly) taking about 180 pumps using a $45 Chinese pump to fill it from empty and much less to fill from minimum pressure.

Cons
The first gun I received was defective having problems with the the magazine and breach lineup causing jams and pellets spraying the target, so I sent it back for a replacement. Airgun Depot replaced it in less time than they quoted. The second gun functions much better and holds good groups. The hammer spring is non-adjustable unless you disassemble the gun and change the spring. The trigger is single stage and the pull is long with no indication of when it will release the shot. It takes some getting used to. As the pressure drops the POI begins to move to about 1" below the full fill impact at 25 yards, so you have to get to know you gun to know where the POI is at a given pressure (pressure gage is in BAR's which is cumbersome).

I received my first gun, and only after under 50 rounds, the plastic part holding the barrel to the stock failed. Making the gun unusable. I sent it back to Airgun Deport and they replaced it quickly with good service. The second gun had the same failure only after 20 shots. I have since sent the second gun back to Gamo for inspection and review of the failed part. Telling them this was second gun having the same issue. Wanting them to determine if this is an inherent flaw for recall, a bad lot number, or any explanation that would explain this failure. I have yet to hear back. I am hesitant to accept a third replacement with the same gun. In my opinion, the part is inferior for its intended purpose and will not be a lasting gun as this part is designed. I will post back on what Gamo explains after inspection. So far, Airgun Depot has provided good customer service for this issue to date. I'm hoping in tracking this, that my warranty re-starts when any new replacement reaches me .

Pros
Light, simple, and economical for my intended use. Target plinking, and pests. It had good reviews.

Cons
I would make a better metal scope mounting rail, bolt, and piece/part that attaches the barrel to the stock. These parts need to be more durable.

Front mounting barel plastic strap got broken after 4 shots

Pros
Very bed quality rifle

I have the .22 cal. Quite accurate, can consistently hit an old painted shovel head at fifty yards. Get about 50 to 60 shots from full till just above yellow. However, the last two mags are not always the most accurate. Not as many rounds when shooting Slugs. Much lighter than my other PCP rifle. Have had one mag jam up and go south on me. Best to have about 4 or 5 mags so when you refill the tank you can reload the Mags. Would love this in .25 or .30 cal.

Pros
Iron sights, love them. Extremely quiet.

Cons
Depression around the Foster valve can at times be a challenge to connect for refilling. If I knew how thick the stock material was I'd be tempted to radius the top edges fore & aft to allow my fingers just a bit more room.

It is a really fun gun to shoot and with it being so quiet you can shoot a lot with out disturbing the neighbors.

Pros
I have had it for 2 weeks now and the looks are growing on me. I have put around 300 pellets through it. I like that it has open sights. Although I put a scope on it. I really like the straight pull bolt. It is easy to pump up. It is accurate enough and has enough power for 30 yard small game hunting. It is so quiet! It is lite weight but feels sturdy.

Cons
There are no cons for me.
