ShangaanGamo Hunter Extreme
I have searched here and not found a lot on this rifle, has anyone got one and what results have you had. Any reviews I have looked at are about 50/50.

jdollarlike all Gamo rifles-promises more power than it delivers( the velocity claims are pie in the sky bullshit- even with the lightest pellets available-which are almost always terribly inaccurate). typical mass production, cheap manufacturing, Chinese machining quality. that said, probably not a bad buy- at stateside prices. i am guessing that with the import duty in Zim, you are getting reamed.

ShangaanThanks for the reply sir, bought one which is on its way over now so will see how it handles, just read a few reviews and some where good and some bad, most on the accuracy issue as you mentioned. Thanks again.

mlfgunsI bought a Gamo .17 rifle don't remember the model #, ss barreled action and synthetic stock advertised at 1000ft/sec. It chronographed at 925 ft/sec and the accuracy was terrible. It has the worst trigger long inconsistent and heavy even though it has adjustable length of pull, it didn't help. I was ready to give it away untill I read on the forum about having a complete tune up by an. air gun specialist. I sent it to a gentelman in South Carolina named Charlie the Tuna he installed his own trigger and replaced the spring no more twang and now it's worthy of keeping . It cost around $170 money well spent for the work. If it was me I'd start off with a quality gun and save yourself some frustration. Best of luck
