I just joined and am repeating myself from the Intro section up top, but can't say it enough!
I've had a Gamo Shadow for several years. I've had problems w/ pests. The original scope was junk, went to a 3x12 Barska- much much better! I've been doing very well on the peckers, but hated the trigger so I goggled Gamo trigger jobs and found this site and Bob's trigger. Downloaded installation and watched the video and I can do this! and ordered it. When I got it, I started, but chickened out (too many small springs and parts). Today, I did it (found a little bit better video on You tube- Gamo Big Cat Tune). It was easy! and let me tell you- it made a world of difference! By the way, did it by myself w/ a pipe clamp for a compressor and leather pieces on each end.
Earlier, I got on here and registered to Thank Bob for a great product. In reading thru the different forums, found the one about stuffing the stock. It's still light out so I went to the garage, took the butt plate off and stuffed it tight w/ hi-density refrigeration pipe insulation I had laying around. It took most of the twang out and made the rifle feel more solid and not like a toy (as before). HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY, here!
Wife's gonna hate it, adding another forum to routinely check in on. Have about 15 already on metal detecting, diesel place, and RV'n . She won't notice ;-)
Thanks all! Shep

Hey!!!! Welcome to the forums. Myself, and many others put lead (sinkers, chunks from a pellets trap, etc..) in the stock. It seems to help balance it a bit. 2-4 oz. is a good amount typically.

Welcome and great post.
Stuffing the stock and weighting has been very good for me here. Hang onto that S1k. They don't make 'em like that today. Enjoy!
