Gamo Big Cat 1250

Lead is more accurate than alloy at all ranges, & particularly over 10 yrds. FPS & alloy pellets are mostly hype to drive up velocity numbers on break barrel air rifles. I have over 20 air rifles and none are more accurate with alloy rounds. FPS doesn't mean squat if you don't hit your target consistently. The only caliber that has ever yielded modest results is in .25 cal, which which always has a lower FPS anyway. Alloy makes some sense in CO2 guns as well, which generally suffer from low FPS for hunting.

I've always peferred non lead pellets because I have tried lead pellets and after a while some lead from the lead pellet gets back up into the chamber and throws your shooting accuracy off! Althought this can be fixed by cleaning the inside of your barrel properly , But certain Non Lead Pellets have more terminal impact [Example: Gamo PBA Bullet gets 7.3 inches while a Lead pellet get 5.1 inches] My overall favorite pellet is the PBA Bullet pellet, just because of its longer flight time than other pellets on the market! Hope this was Helpful

It fires .22 pellets

I liked the idea of the Nitro Piston. Bought a Benjamin. In about a month of very light use the power dropped by 50% for no reason that I have found. I can find no one who will recharge or repair it. I now have a very expensive Red Ryder.

I own many Nitro piston rifles but 22.cal Gamo is a must have,I was surprised at how accurate it was at 100 yards. I set up a can of foam sealent at 100 yards aiming 6 inches above the can, i shot and pow that fucker exploded. i give it a 8 out of 10 because i hate the scope it came with it only good for 30 yards and the rifle easily exceeds that. hope this was helpful. share your experiences.

Yes

I would recommend a 3-9x40 for this gun.

Yes I bought this gun about a week ago. It does come with a scope. Some reviewers say the scope is poor. I am sure it is not the best. However, I think it is OK for starters. One can purchase a better scope once familiar with the gun. I have shot some good groups with the scope and my 10 year old son has well. Hope this helps.

I really enjoy shooting with the rifle, the only thing that I don´t like is the trigger it is hard to pull it and is really long the haul. But I still like the rifle

Very good rifle for the price.

I've had a issue with squirrels eating their way into my house. We backup to about an acre of woods, so no surprise that squirrels would find us attractive. That's all changed with my purchase of the Big Cat Gamo .177 rifle. I have thinned the squirrel population around our home considerably. There's no longer any sign of them getting into our attic. The Big Cat is very accurate and deadly with the new Gamo Rocket .177 pellet.

pellets- .22 caliber pellets- brands id recommend are gamo, crosman, rws- crosman premier hollow points, and rws superdomes are the best for this gun in my opinion

it takes .22 pellets not bullets

Michael, Please contact our International Shipping Department at [email protected]. They can answer any questions you might have. Sincerely, The Airgun Depot Customer Care Team

Yes. It's great for squirrel hunting. Plenty of knock down power for small/med varmints. I have both the .177 Big Cat and the .22 Big Cat. Although squirrels are not a big problem for the .177, I like the .22 better for hunting. The .22 caliber 25-28 grain pellets have tremendous force compared to the .177 caliber 15-16 grain pellets. And more range, too. Also because much of the .177 caliber ammo is supersonic and the .22 caliber is not, the .177 Big Cat can be louder than the .22 Big Cat. I also painted mine camo, just for fun. Hope this helps. Happy Hunting.

mine came with a two piece mount - and the gamo rear mount is pinned so It won't move after tightened to the rifle

Two separate rings attached to the scope, yes. If that's not what you're referring to please ask again and I'll clarify! -Tom

Alex, Unfortunately, the manufacturer is the one that boxes all guns and rifles. We would not be able to put rile in cocking position or taking the barrel off before shipping. Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause. Sincerely, The Airgun Depot Customer Care Team

Pros: - Comes with nice scope, but the iron sights on this gun are good - Light weight - lots of power - single pellet will go through 3/4" plywood Cons: - reload/pump after every shot, so if you missed the 1st time, squirrel is probably long gone - it is a long gun, so does take space - it is loud

Don, This particular gun is in stock right now and shows plenty on hand, however Airgun Depot can not foresee future sales. Hope that gives you some in sight to your question. Sincerely, The Airgun Depot Customer Care Team

In my opinion, this gun is worth a lot more. I could not be happier. It's very powerful and accurate!

This rifle is not quiet, especially if you dry fire it. Which don't dry fire it! It is not made to be like the whisperer or silent cat that are also made by gamo. I would recommend buying a different kind of gamo air rifle that is quiet if you live in the city or town.

the .22 has sort of a loud report out of the box - but will quiet down after broken in on a scale of 1 - 5 5 being the loudest i'd give it a 2.5 to 3 after break in. my break-in was about 500 - 600 wad-cutters and a real good barrel cleaning.. all in all I like the .22 better than the .177 - I bought both and the .177 still shoots wild, where the .22 has taken squirrel's right off the branches with hollow-points

If you shoot a bullet then yes you will be fine. But somone who is not familiar with guns could mistake a dry fire for a real firearm.

You've completed 3 steps so far. The other 2 are pushing the safety forward that's next to the trigger and shooting the gun. The gun safety is a great thing, but it can ruin you sometimes on making that perfect kill shot.

There is a safety mechanism directly in front of the trigger. Release it by pushing it forward, aim and squeeze the trigger to release the pellet. Be sure to always insert your pellets face into the breach. Seating a pellet skirt-first can cause jamming and is generally unsafe.

Gamo Rocket pellet is very accurate.

I find using a hunting pellet will work better then using a hollow point. I bought the raptor pellets and i had gotten nice grouping, Check out H&N sport pellets, they work well to

yes my 177 caliber of this gun drops rabbits for raccoons possum i and for raccoons possums and groundhogs

Yes this is a very capable rifle and you can hunt rabbits with ease. Check out some of the quality hunting pellets here on airgundepot. Just make sure to try some heavier grain pellets for that extra stopping power a .22 can provide.

Yes, rabbits are a definite possibility with this rifle. It has some serious stopping power with small game. Provided that you as the shooter do your part(This rifle is a springer, that means utilizing the artillery hold), taking out rabbits cleanly should be no problem. As far as pellet choice for small game, I prefer the RWS Super H Points and the RWS Superdomes. Both very good for penetration and stopping power.

This can kill rabbits so easy because of the .22 caliber round. If you get the right kind of hunting pellet then you could probably kill small foxes. Mine shoots well and I have, so far, killed three squirrels with it. Poor squirrels, they died so fast that they didn't even know what hit them. The rabbits probably won't know either.

Yes it is!! I've had one for a while now, it's my fav. Real good stopping power. I use the ball ammo...works wonderful. Highly recommended!!

Of course you can. Its a powerful rifle with good stopping power.

3/8inch dovetail rails

At the top of the dovetail (not the indented ares), it measures 12mm.

No the rifle can not be fitted with a silencer, and it is manufactured in Spain.

To be honest, it's probably medium high, but I love it anyway!

Mine was made in Spain. But it still works great!

Yes, you will make a very good choice if you buy this pellet rifle. I would recommend sighting it in at about 25 to 30 yards. If you get the right ammo, you could probably use it on small foxes too. I used master point pellets in .22 caliber and it shot well. Get this rifle and you will love it.

Try checking out at the sight and if there is a restriction you will get a warning before you purchase the product.

You could use this rifle for squirrels. Heck, if you get the right ammo you could use it to hunt foxes and small coyotes. You can sight it in at 50 yards but I would recommend at 30 yards. If you sight it in at 30 yards, you could probably hit a squirrel at 60 yards. Get this rifle and you will love it for sure.

Yes, the scope is really easy to sight in. I won't take you very long. And although the scope is also manufactured by Gamo, it is advisible to tighten the allen screws in the scope mounting rings after the first 10 shots,

No this is a break barrel.

No this is a break barrel.

It will probably one of your best for survival. I like the fact that its spring and replacements can be bought easily in case you need to do some repairs in the field. For hunting its perfect, a bit load but accurate, no need to take a second shot. I did replace the scope with a better quality one 3-9 X 42. don't want equipment to fail in the field (just in case)

yes.

This is actually a pellet gun. It uses .22 cal pellets. BB's are .177 caliber. BB's will fit in .177 cal pellet guns. The bb's will mess up the rifling in the barrel of pellet guns.

We attempted to have our 11 year olds use this rifle, and it was difficult for them to hold it and complete the reload. We have a lower FPS rifle that is a little easier for them to operate, that they usually use instead. But, it is a great gun and it's been the favorite overall.

I have killed doves as far as 50 meters, (54 yards) with with a single shoot, using 7.8 grains pellets. Your effective distance with this airgun depends more of your skill to aim, I used no compensation, the drop of the shot is not a problem. You may be tempted to install a more powerful scope to aim distances longer than 30 yards...

For simple squirrel and pigeons, the scope that it comes with will be just fine.

you will want a .22 if you are going to be trying to kill anything. It hits so much harder.

There are pellet guns that are semi automatic with 8-10 rounds an I believe there are a coupl that are even automatic. However, those guns are in the range of $1200-$1600. So for the most part, yes, they are single shot.

That scope should work fine, so you may have a defective scope. I would recommend returning or exchanging your scope (As long as you are still in warranty coverage) and trying another to see if you have the same problem.

the srew is at the trigger base put the srewdriver though the hole in the trigger gard and adjust to what you want...

First of all make sure it's not loaded for obvious safety reasons. Second turn the rifle upside down till the trigger is facing you. You then loosen the two screws that allow access to the trigger. Finally there's a small phillups screw behind the trigger, turn it clockwise to de-crease the length and counter-clockwise to increase the length of the triggwer action. I hope you find this info helpful, thanx.

Out of the box and unscoped, this was right-on accurate! It is very light and has substantial recoil (for an airgun) so I'm not certain that a light duty scope will last. Fit and finish is of high quality and typical of Gamo.

No it doesn't come calibrated, at least mine did not. calibrating the scope was a breeze, specially if you're familiar with airguns. The rifle itself is amazing it has plenty of fire power and extremely accurate. I love everything about the Gammo Big Cat air rifle! My whole experience to this day has been amazing and the customer service and shipping at Air Gun depot was pleasent. You won't find a better rifle with this workmanship at this price from Airgun Depot.

The need for a firearm license is to be determined by your local city/state. Most areas do not require a license for this type of gun/rifle. You should not need one in your area Pennsylvania as we have no shipping restrictions there.

Adjust the dials till they coincide with the POI.

There is a rule of thumb for pellet guns that I have heard numerous times, .177 for feathers, .22 for fur.

Go for the .22, but don't take a coyote with it....use something a lot bigger.

well both are great I have both and once you shoot them you can see that its realy up to you one has better speed 177 and penatrates deeper the other is slower 22 but has more energy leaves bigger hole but if shot placment is good you will be amazed at what it will take down wild hog and down for 22 and coyote and down for the177. thats not saying the 177 wont kill a hog just have not tried it yet. hope this was helpful

The big cat .22 is better. It has a lot more knockdown power. We always recommend .22 cal and up for hunting anything bigger than birds, rats etc. for smaller pests .177 cal works just fine. Thanks

Yes, you break the barrel, put the pellet in and you are ready to shoot. But do not use bb's through a pellet rifle. It will not work.

Yes, exactly how you described it.....that's how it is done.

Yes break barrel rifles are all single shot. You put one pellet in at a time.

the .22 caliber will shoot slower, hit harder. Accuracy will tend to be greater in the .177

about 40 yards depending on the shooter, conditions, and pellets.

I would like a manual for the Big Cat

oh yea it' will make rocky fly off the branch

Yep. Perfect.

it goes right through the squirell and kills them istantly because of the .22 cal. rounds.

yeah the .22 is a factor to when it comes to small game hunting because the pellet can just go through anything

All of gamo air rifles are made in spain. The scope is made in china but is very decent. I don't recommend buying a new scope, it does the job to about 70 yards.
