I'm considering buying this airgun but there isn't much info out on the net. Anyone bought one? How is the trigger accuracy say out to 50 75 yards? I'm thinking it is a coyote but in a polymer/ plastic stock

You can try the Spanish/Gamo forum in the European/Asian gate. imho you check other brands from what I've seen in the stores compared to ones I owned in the past

I have one. Fantastic gun! I believe BSA makes the barrel but at any rate, I can stack pellets at 25 yards and it isn't picky with pellets like my Marauder. I have not taken it out further yet. I had a full length shroud installed to get rid of the ugly thing they install from the factory. It looks WAY better, handles really well (feels like a new gun) and is a few inches shorter than the stock length.
The trigger isn't to bad. The travel is a little long out of the box but it is adjustable and there is a set screw mod that will shorten the travel even more. You can adjust the power. Mine was doing 30FPE out of the box with 18.1 JSBs. A huge feature I am impressed with on the BSA/Gamo PCPs is the self regulating action which results in very consistent shot to shot velocity.

That shroud really makes the rifle. I'm sure Gamo offers that magnormous paperweight on the factory muzzle to help keep cost down, but if they offered a shrouded barrel, I'm sure they could bump the price a few $$ and sell even more of these.

Yes it does look way better than the included "bottle". I couldn't wait to get rid of it. It is an entry level PCP and I understand why Gamo did it but I have never seen any LDC from Gamo that looked good.

Wow 8) That looks sweet with that shroud! wish they would offer that as a second gen

100% agree re. the "pickle removal/shroud addition", SO much better! ;) Where did you get the shroud & parts to install it? How many shots per fill are you averaging?
Thanks!

The way Gamo molds their LDC around the barrel, it has to be machined so the shroud could be installed. I like how the end of the shroud matches the geometry of the receiver.
At 30FPE, I am getting around 25 shots before I refill. It has a smaller tank than the Coyote so not bad at all! Too bad they don't offer the Urban stock for the others.
