I'd have to look but, I don't think I gave any GAMO springers... I love my Urban though..
I see these post and I laugh. I bought my first Gamo over 10 years ago. A lowly Shadow 1000. Been one of the best deals ever for 99.00. Took me a long time and many airguns to realize just how good it is. I've heard people bad mouth Gamo the whole time. I wasn't impressed with polymer breechs and barrels and still ain't because I'm old school. I bought a Gamo Swarm Magnum a little over a year ago and really love shooting that gun, Polymer breech block and all. I liked it so much I bought a Gamo Hunter Extreme Pro to go with it. I rate that Gamo Hunter Extreme right up there with my German springers and I paid half the price for it. People go out and my the cheaper models, they don't know how to properly shoot them or know what pellets to use. All 3 of my Gamos will shoot dime size groups at 30 yards. I know how to shoot them, I know what pellets to use and I know how to properly mount my scopes so they don't move. First thing people do when they can't shoot a group is blame the gun. They swap it for a new one and same results or they toss it aside and call it junk. I laugh cause I know that someone else would drive tacks with that same gun they call junk. Polymer jacketed barrels to me are ugly but if you think about it they are better than a solid steel barrel. They don't rust and I don't think you can bend one on accident. I'm still not totally sold on Polymer breech blocks but I've had no reason to doubt the one on my Swarm magnum will hold up so far. It has a 5 year warranty to boot which you don't get with the lower tier Gamo's and so does my Hunter Extreme Pro which does have a steel breech block and barrel along with a higher grade beech stock that looks and feels great.

I at one time was looking for an Urban but couldn't find one here. Ended up with the FX Dreamline eventually. Have been very happy with it. I have read many good things about the Urban though.
