Gamo Hunter Extreme Pro- got one?

[HPP-Mechanic]

Im on the fence buying this one...  https://gamousa.com/product/hunter-extreme-pro-22-break-barrel-air-rifle/   Would like to hear some real-world feedback and not just Youtube hype to sell the guns. I like the fact that it has a truly ambi stock (lefty). Was considering the Diana 350, but that stock and $200 more... 30-40-50 yard shooting, must be quiet and no pcps.

Another concern is parts. I hear that Gamo wont sell replacement parts, and that is why Im avoiding the swarm/magazine versions.  Is the gas ram gun convertible to a spring?

  Ready to add a .22 magnum to the collection. yay or nay?

My neighbor has a Gamo Hunter Extreme.  When he needed a simple piston seal he had to get it from England as it was larger than anything available here in the states at the time.  Gamo does not like to sell parts to end users.  They prefer to ship to licensed firearm dealers.  If you want to order one try ordering a spare piston seal at the same time.  Most gas spring guns can be converted to coil spring guns If you can find the proper spring and get a guide.

I did mine year or so ago got spring and seal from JM, ill have a look and let you know part numbers. Will tell you now they are a bear to cock, i clipped spring on mine and its still shoots a 15g jsb at 880.

Sounds like a beast, is it true that the breech is metal, where all other Gamo's are plastic? Is the lock-up pin steel? I read somewhere its plastic...  I prefer to fix my own stuff; warranty be darn. I dont like to ship, wait, then wonder if the fix was legit.  Im a mechanic and nobody takes my stuff apart but me, thats why I asked about the spring conversion in the future.   Sorry for so many questions...

[Rocker1]

Yes its all steel ànd wood. David

Well, I ordered one yesterday. I hope I get a good one...

Well, I ordered one yesterday. I hope I get a good one...

Received it today. Front sight was wacked and crooked-easy fix.  Had to crank the rear sight almost all the way left to zero. Only shot it to sight @ 20yards and is accurate w/ tight groups.
The CAT trigger is nearly 4lbs, and the screws dont seem to do much at all. Is there still a trigger upgrade offered? Trigger is metal, rear sight is metal,  the moderator  is an enormous plastic thing... An absolute beast to cock & a beautiful looking gun. I like it. Hope it gets easier to cock, and that trigger...

 You can change the trigger for a charlie trigger , I warned you thats its tough to cock.  David

I ended up sending it back for hopefully an exchange. I think it was dropped on the end of the barrel, since the front hood/sight was wacked when I received it. Also, The stock checkering was great on one side, but faint/missing in areas on the other. I hope they send me a nice one this time... I was told 6-8 weeks?!?!! They had the first gun to me in 2 days...  Trigger was 3 3/4 pounds pull no matter how I adjusted the screws too.  If I change the trigger, goodbye 5yr warranty... Wish I could buy a couple spare gas rams for down the road.

I envied you when you got one. if they were available here I would have one. Pity about the damage. I hope the replacement is as good as my Hunter Maxim.

My Gamo Hunter 1250 Extreme had the wood stock routed out of whack, with the inletting asymmetrical from side to side, pieces missing etc. Having a faint checkering on one side would've fitted right in there.

This is all you need to bring that CAT trigger down as low as you want.

I put it in my Gamo Magnum, and Whisper Fusion Mach 1.  Best $10.00 you can spend on a Gamo with the CAT or SAT trigger.

Finally got my Gamo back from Gamo yesterday. Actually, I got a different gun, warranty exchange-same .22 Hunter Extreme Pro. I cleaned the barrel(dirty!) then took it outside . I shot 4 different pellets, 5 shots each, at 22yards; off a bag. Ironically, the Gamo Redfires were most accurate of the 4 pellets I tested. Someone definitely test-fired this gun before shipping it because I didn’t have to touch the site adjusters at all. It’s a beast to cock but shooting good! I didn’t mess with the trigger, and only put 20 pellets thru it before running out of light. I’m happy. Now I need another scope & mount…

Did you switch to a CDT trigger? I looked on eBay-want to stock up on a spare piston seal and has ram or 3…

[Rocker1]

 yes sir  thats the first thing to do, some guys put a longer screw in it  i have been in many many  airguns and thats not the safe way. David

I bought one almost a year ago. First one had the most beautiful beech stock I had every seen, But someone got heavy on the sanding belt and gouged it pretty bad. I got it exchanged. Second one was perfect and stock still looks awesome for beech. I swapped the trigger adjustment screw and have had no issues. I bought the Extreme Pro after buying a Swarm magnum gen 2. For magnums they don't seem as hold sensitive or as hard to get great groups. Under a dime at 25 yards with magnums is dang good with just a causal springer hold. Took me hours to get the hold right on my Hatsan 125 sniper to get a decent group.

I’ve got over 200 shots thru it now & it’s becoming a decent shooter. And I’m getting muscles back too. Trigger definitely needs improving. It’s cold here in Wisconsin, so shooting isn’t too often. The gun really likes FX 15.9g & JSB 15.89 jumbo exact pellets. I’m happy with this Gamo.

Was just shooting the FX 15.9's the other day. JSB makes the FX and Air Arms pellets so I buy what's available at the best price. This how I fixed my trigger. There's video on Youtube. I counted the turns out and put the longer screw back in the same number.

Wow how time flies. It was almost 2 years ago!
