Gamo Wildcat Whisper

[Wolfer]

I do use the optics gate but thought I would mention it in the gate on the Wildcat that I started as pertaining to that gun.   Mike

[Mr.P]

I have a swarm magnum.  Really like it but wish it had iron sites.  The inner baffles broke on the first day of shooting when a pellet must have tumbled or doing some weird gyroscopic thing. A few more pellets clipped and I had to use a Dremel tool to kind of smooth out the hole and then shake all the plastic out.  That was a bummer but otherwise the gun shoots fine.  I wish I had one without the suppressor on the barrel because it isn’t very durable.

That's sad  seen stories like yours with that.

I got a mach1 but there 2 roll pins I pop out and remove the baffel end cap and then remove that baffel for service/ cleaning.  So your mag don't have that?

I got a cleaning patch stuck in it and thought , darn, but seen it was a easy remove and service

I see those pins - I will try taking it off one of these days.  Thanks for the suggestion.

I use straight and variable power.

I like my straight 4x for hunting and variable for shooting / plinking .

The 3x9 that came on this gamo I tend to keep it at 4 to 7 power and shoot to 50 yd at 4x4.5 in sillouit with a 3/4 in bullseye  that target is a stretch at 3-4 power and I like to tighten up to 7 on it

All depends on your use where you use it in the woods 2-4 power stright powered or open range targeting variable for me

Brand? Well with any you all ways stand the chance of getting the lemon . That's just life

It's easy
Push out pins remove the end cap  gently use something to grab baffel wiggle and pull (it seems to seat on the tip end of steel barrel) once out it's 2 piece inspect clean  ,  put the 2 baffel pieces together slide it back in place and you can feel a slight seating on the barrel end ( if it don't the nd cap wount g on anyway)  put the cap in place install pins and done. Go shoot.

Heck if you're got hat damaged I dont why you can't remove he cap and baffel and just shoot with out any of it . Surely a pellet can hit he end shroud  housing all that fits in?

What I'd be concerned with why is the pellets hitting it to start with ? Bent / defective barrel orjst a defective baffel bad plastic mold?

Have you reached out to gamo?

[Reidy]

I got a wildcat whisper a few months back from tractor supply and grabbed some crossman pointed and the gamo whisper pellets with it and ordered a box of crossman premier FT domes later.  It's my first air rifle in over 20 years. I had a Falcon FN12 PCP and a diana 38 break barrel respectively before that.

I can't get the crossman pellets to group less than 1.5" at 25 to 30 yards. The whisper's did better (I'm going to try them again now I'm back into the swing of things) but I'm now on the search for some pellets that work well in this rifle. 

What are all of you using and having success with?

I have since got there air rifle bug again and invested in a Hatsan BT65 and pump but still like playing with the gamo and put a 3-9x 40 scope on it.

[poor shooter]

I may have gotten a lemon.  I am a very experienced shooter and the best I cold get is a 10" group at 20 yds with the included scope.  I bought a $80 tasco air gun scope and was only able to get the group down to 6" once then back to 10" at 20 yds.  I'm not sure what to do? return everything and start over or keep spending $$ on scopes.

hey pat, this is a older thread, but what you need to do is read about the "artillery hold". it will help a ton. also, use the tasco and get an assortment of pellets. you'll find ones that will shoot better than other ones. Adjust the trigger to be a little lighter and start shooting a bit more. Springers and rammers need to be broken in a bit to make the firing cycle and the pellet velocity more stable. You should expect to be at under 1 in at 20. and at 10, pellets should be touching. I have had gamos that will shoot under 1 inch at 40 yards. The one i have now (fusion swarm in .22) will do it out to 50!. also dont forget to clean the bore a bit... some guns come with gunk on the rifling that will definitely affect accuracy.
It will help if you can show us or tell us what shape your groups have (5 shot minimum). we can diagnose an issue like that... Hope this helps.
