I recently bought this and got home to to give a trial run and the scope was loose so went to tighten up the scope only to find the find the dove tail had stripped screw holes were for the scope mount. Not real happy bout it
asked Doug from USAWhat size pellets do I get?
asked Alex from USAIs their a rebuild kit you can get for?
asked KurtisHow do you mount a scope without the iron sights being in the scope view? Looks like the iron sights are not removable.
asked David from USAI purchased a scope riser mount. And a picatinny rail adapter. I do t see the front sight anymore.
Joshua from USAhow long is the gun?
asked Percy46 inches
Donald from USAHi all :), I'm looking to buy a pellet gun to use mostly for hunting. I'm going to mostly be using it to kill rabbits, wild pigs, birds, and kangaroos. The guns I'm looking at to kill these animals are the Camo Big Cat 1250, Gamo Whisper Silent Cat, 177 cal and the Gamo Wildcat Whisper. Which one of these would have the most power, accuracy and being able to shoot far distances? Please only comment if you know what you're talking about because I really only want an expert opinion as these are a pest to me making a living as I live on a farm. Thanks Sam
asked SamI suggest asking the experts here for recommendations, using the email address: inquiries@airgundepot.com. They were extremely helpful in addressing my needs. Good luck!
Bubba from USAWill this rifle kill a rattlesnake?
asked EladioWith good shot placement it will
Gage from USAwhat scope do you suggest for this gun aside from what is included in the box? thanks
asked Lope from USAJust bought this gun what pellets work best for this gun
asked Carson I use the gamo tomohawk pellets. Group well, and consistent. Great expansion. Great price. high quantity.
Joshua from USAcan u put a laser on it
asked Arnold SchwarzeneggerThere is a dovetail mount on top. That is all in regards to mount options. What you put there is up to you.
Joshua from USADo you have to order CO2 or pellets separately that's a gun come with ammo
asked WayneNo ammo with the gun.
Joshua from USACould this rifle kill a gopher with one shot if not could you recommend on that can kill a gopher
asked BrandonMaybe, but a .22 (or even a .25) caliber air rifle would be a much better bet for reliable one shot, one kill capability (with accurately placed shots), and you won't have to worry about sonic booms compounding the noise (as long as the rifle is rated less than ~1000fps).
Bubba from USAEveryone says the "sight" is not good.
Which site do you recommend?
Iquana- Shoot out
asked DavidDo you have any suggestions on what kind of pellet best suits this rifle?
asked BradSir where we can get it in pakistan
asked AsadIs the scope removable?
asked RedWhat is the foot pounds of energy this gun gives?
asked TurboI am looking for an airgun to shoot crows in my garden 20-30 yards range max. Is this a good choice for me? Is this a pump gun? Is it powerful enough to kill a crow? Does it use steel ammo? I do not want to use lead because it is a vegetable garden.

Scott from USAIs it trustable buying a refurbished gun? Can you rely on it like its new?
asked JomelAll of the refurbished airguns i've purchased have been in pristine condition with no damage whatsoever. It is completely trustable!!
anthony from USAAll the refurbished air guns I have purchased from Airgun Depot have been Excellent. Most of the time I cannot distinguish them from a new product.
Timothy from USAI have purchased three refurbished rifles from AirGunDepot, including this Gamo Silent Cat. Besides not being in the original packaging, I have found the apperance and performance to be as good as new. Once sighted in, this gun has performed accurately. I would purchase it again.
Daniel from USAI bought a Gamo Silent Cat .177 Refurb and have had zero issues w/ it. I had a 9x40 scope already so I put that on it. Tight groupings at 50 yards with the right ammo. Just as good as the brand new Gamo Varmit Hunter .22 that I bought around the same time.
James from USAI have bought a refurbished gun and it came out looking brand new. It shoots great and I saved 100 bucks. For me it was the perfect option to get a top of the line gun for my smaller budget I had. As far as if it's right for you or not just remember there is a a slight risk when it comes to buying refurbished items. You just have to decide whether or not it's worth the risk. Remember the risk is very minimal there is usually a warranty on refurbished items.
BrockI live in Brisbane Australia 4130 and I don't have a gun licence but I have applied for one.can I still buy this gun from you? thanks Don

Scott from USAHow loud is the noise from this gun?
asked RobertUsing pellets heavy enough to stay subsonic, I measure 90-100 decibels about a foot away from the midsection of the gun. Subjectively it seems at least moderately loud, but nothing nearby seems to react—not the birds singing nearby, not the neighbors, nothing except the rats I'm shooting at (of course, they also learned to scatter at the sound of the window opening, so it's a high bar).
That said, I'm not convinced it's inaudible to any of the above—I think it's just not loud enough to take particular notice of. I wouldn't want to test it with target practice at some unsociable hour.
JonIt's not loud. Use lead pellets and you won't have any problem. Stop worrying about the speed , all that does is cause accuracy problems.
James I've had mixed results sometimes it's quiet and sometimes it sounds like a 22Cal. I guess it depends on the pellets.
FrankI just got this gun for Christmas. It is very loud with pba pellets because it breaks the sound barrier. If you use lead pellets, it shoots a bit slower but it is a lot quieter.
CalebFor the amount of power this gun has, it shoots quietly. I'd have to say it's as quiet as it can be. I mean it's not a friggin BB gun.
MarkIt is very loud. If you live in a quiet area and you want to get that little furry four legged creature that's been giving you problems, the silent cat will solve it but the whole neighborhood will hear it. It's a good shooter, but not very silent.
PatricioDoes it still work as good as it was when it was brand new like not bough yet? Is the scope sighted in? Where could I get a bipod that's meant for it? Thank you. Please reply as soon as possible.
asked Grantthe rifle is accurate. Good tight groupings within 3" circle at 50 ft. Definitely has power. but is far from silent. i'm in my own yard, but keep my shooting times to appropriate hours to be considerate to neighbors. The scope is in a separate box. My 18 year old son mounted it and got the tight groupings. But did say he was limited in adjustment and must compensate 1-1/2" due to scope adjustment limits. I have only fired without the scope, so have yet to attempt adjustments on the scope. It is a great deal compared to new/ retail. And arrives as if new except that it is a plain brown box. I can,t expect better quality for the price and glad I didn't pay extra for a box with a picture on it. Sorry, no answer on the bi-pod.
scott from USAThis rifle is powerful and accurate. I sighted in the scope in about 15 minutes and 10 shots at 25ft. I taught my daughter how to shoot it and she was hitting the target consistently after only 5 or 6 attempts. She had never fired a gun in her life. I recommend using a high quality pellet for the best accuracy. I can hit a silver dollar sized flip target at 30 yards 8 out of 10 times.
I bought a ABU NC Star Universal Barrel Bipod for it at Airgundepot. That's the way to go.
Would I buy it again? Absolutely!

Scott from USAit doesn't say anything about the barrel being rifled... is it?
asked trippIt is Rifled.
Scott from USAneed any permit in NYC?
asked johnIf you have a FFL (Federal Firearms License) we would be aloud to ship this item to you. Here are the regulations for your state
NY: Foregrips and Wrist-braced slingshots
NYC & it's 5 boroughs: Airguns, Air rifles, BB Guns, Blank Guns, Blank Gun Ammo, Blowguns, Blowgun bolts & darts, Crossbows, Lasers, Locking folding knives with blades longer than 4 inches and Longbows.
However, with all these restrictions there are three ways you could get this product.
1. Have a FFL
2. Ship to a different address (friends or family)
3. Talk to a sporting good store. They have an FFL so we could ship to them. You would just need their permission and probably pay the store a fee.
Scott from USAI'm thinking of getting my third gun, would this be a good one? Dose the silencer work well or not?
asked ConnorDepends upon what your other two are! : )
Seriously, this is a quality air gun. I am a very accurate shooter. However, due to the current cost and unavailability of ammunition, I haven't been able to fire as many practice rounds of self-firing ammo as I would like.
Even high quality BPA pellets are only a couple cents each and are readily had. Standard pellets can also be purchased for about a penny a piece. Especially compared to one dollar per round for larger caliber rifle ammunition, having a quality air gun also makes sense.
I typically fire around 100 rounds per session. If I could find the firing ammunition, my cost per session would be about $15 for one of my .22's or around $100 any of my hunting rifles. Depending on the type of pellets I am using, my ‘ammunition' cost now for pellets is only between $1 to $2.
Before I bring out my firearms at the range, I warm up with my Gamo at 50 yards. After I run the target back for convenient viewing and others can see the bulls eye results, it is not uncommon for one them to come over and ask, “What the heck kind of rifle are you firing.” I just smile and say, “Actually I'm not ‘firing' anything.” : )
The silencer works well, but since this is a powerful air gun, the spring recoil sound is audible. The Cat is not as loud as a .22 and ear protection is not technically required, but I always wear ear as well as eye protection. If you are shooting at a range, both are mandatory even if you are just an observer.
Earl from USAWould this be a good gun for a 15 year old?
asked connorFor an ‘Unsupervised' Teenager, NO! This is not a toy. The package instructions specifically exclude this option.
Sometimes even the President is correct even though the correct spelling reference pictured here is ‘Ryder' as in ‘Red Ryder'. This is not a “Christmas Story” toy BB- Gun.
With ‘Qualified Adult' Supervision, YES.
Qualification doesn't mean you have to be a card carrying NRA big game hunter, but you should know how to comfortably and safely fire a center fire/rim fire pistol or rifle. Know that for that this air rifle eye protection is required and ear protection is advisable. You should be over the age of twenty-one.
As I previously mentioned, this high performance air rifle is not a toy. However, when my granddaughters turn eighteen, I will teach them how to responsibly use mine properly and safely.
Earl from USAYes, this gun is very fun to shoot and really easy to cock.
AndrewHas anyone ever had a problem with the rear sight becoming loose ?
asked brettSame here, when site is adjusted higher the looser it gets. Doing a little investigating I found the forward hinge pin to be larger than than the bored hole it supports, thus the slop you noticed. I plan on removing pin and machine a closer tolerance, but have yet to find a way to disassemble without doing any damage. Still the sites are more than accurate at 30 or under yards. Scope provide with gun is more than adequate. No problems filling a quarter size target 30 yds or under. My only complaint is fixed site does get into view of scope somewhat.
kbryantAbout 350 shots in I did.
Jake from USAIs this air rifle new? I am looking for the best air gun for target practice, any advice?
asked molhimQuit looking you have found your airgun, but buy a better Gamo or a Crosman scope.
A Gamo 3-9 power x 40 mm or a Crosman 4-16 x 40 are well under $100.
Each can offer parallex correction so you can adjust for distance. With either you are well under the cost 'rule of thumb' which states, "The scope should cost as much as the rifle."
Earl from USAWhich is louder? This or a nitro piston air gun?
asked BobIs this gun good for hunting tweedy birds, squirrels, rabbits and chipmunks?
asked Sasquatch I've killed 4 rabbits with mine so far. The previous comment is right on about aiming for the sweet spots. Two had to be shot twice. One however, I shot from about 50 yards away in the dark. It stumbled for about 4 steps and dropped. This thing is powerful and effective. However, I wouldn't take the chance on anything bigger than a rabbit.
JeffYes, this gun could take all of those animals out with ease. When you are hunting rabbits, you need to go for the sweet spots though. (head, heart, spine). It is a great hunting rifle up to about 80-100 yards.
Johnwould this gun be good for frogs?
asked benThis gun would DECIMATE a frog.
They wouldn't stand a chance.
Scott from USAthis gun says its .177 rifle on ad but you look at pictures enlarged and it says .22 on barrel which is it?
asked DennisThe image is not of the exact product. The gun looks and weighs the same as the one in the image, but the one in the image is a .22 caliber.
That's all.
The product is .177 caliber
Scott from USAHow hard is the trigger to pull. Can you adjust?
asked bill douglasHello, the trigger pull on this gun is usually pretty simple. it IS adjustable if you know how to take a gun apart, but that nullifies the warranty and return policy.
Scott from USAHOW DO YOU ADJUST THE SIGHT WITHOUT A SCOPE
asked BFULLERSmall screws on the rear sight adjust for elevation and windage.

Bought this little .177 as a quick light weight pest gun to keep in the garage. Already own a Magnum GR that is crazy accurate. Well, turns out this thing seems just as accurate. Cleaned the barrel and fed about 50 rounds then tested for grouping. Half inch 20 shot group at 20 yards off a bag with the 3-9x40 scope that came with my GR. Pellets were JTS 10.4 domes. And this thing isnt even broke in yet. Also shot a very respectable group with JSB 13.4 Monsters. I thought it seemed loud because there is more noticeable twang and bounce from the spring till my wife shot it and I was about ten feet away. Nope its actually pretty quiet. Will be receiving a UTG scope soon, its worthy of it. At this price, I dont see how you could beat this thing. Light, accurate, good fiber optic sights and the SAT trigger. This is replacing a heavy, not so accurate Crosman Nitro Piston with a bad trigger that has had me pulling my hair out before. Do the 10 for 10.
Pros
Light, consistently accurate, sat trigger, price
Cons
Scope of course
