To Whom it may concern,
You know the old saying "Better late then Never"? Well, at 50yrs Young,  I have bought My First Air Rifle and I have to say.... This thing AIN't NO Toy!  I Love it, I've been shooting handguns and Rilfes for years.... I just have never owned a bb or "Pellet Gun" until now.
I finely caved and bought it because I was tired of not getting to shoot when I wanted to.... Now, I step out into my back yard, set up acouple targets and Blast away!
There is one thing about this rifle that I don't like at all.... and that's the "Trigger" I don't like it at all.... So I'll be looking to fix this problem real quick.
Anyhow,.... I've got to go.
Peace Mav. |

Welcome to the forum and to the sport!
What kind did you get? There are drop-in trigger replacements for a whole slew of models. |

Thank You for the Welcome to the Forum. 
The Air Rifle I bought... is (According to their Web-Site (1 of 2) NEW models for 2011) GAMO Silent Stalker Whisper" She's a .177 cal. & I bought her from Bass Pro.... First Air-Rifle I got was the Gamo "Silent Stalker" same caliber.... BUT it was alittle louder then what I wanted for shooting in my Back-Yard... 
So I brought it back the next day and Swapped her out for the one which I Asked for in the First place.... the>>>-----> Silent Stalker Whisper Over all, I am Very Happy with it. Other then the (IMHO) crappy Trigger! As much money as I paid for her, I have to say, I'm Surprised it doesn't have a Much Better darn Trigger!...? 
PLUS: I went with the UP Graded version with the "NITRO Piston" 
This GAMO Silent Stalker Whisper is $80.00 more but it comes with ALOT Better Stuff in the package
#1> Much Better Scope,
#2> Better Scope Mount,
#3> AWESOME Fiber Optic Sights, sweet RED up front with 2 GREENS at the rear! as the SILENT STALKER comes with ZERO Iron Sights!...?
And last but not least
#4>I like the look of the Stock better.
Peace Jeff
PS. Hey Slavia Who's the BEST People to deal with, a good place to buy Said>> "Trigger" as You might have guessed, I know nothing about these "AIRGUNS" (YET! ) FYI: the ONLY triggers I see so far for this is "GTR III" and or "GTR IV" Are these what is most common OR Best to drop in? How much are they? |

Welcome to the forum Maverick, lots of knowledgeable people here.
As for the trigger I couldn't agree more with Slavia on the GRT trigger. I replaced my stock trigger with the GRT and it literally makes a world of difference. Enjoy you knew found passion for soon that one airgun will turn into many. |

| Welcome to air gunning Maverick. I think you'll find this quite a satisfying sport. Air guns can be almost as addictive as crack if your not careful |

| I can quit airgunning any time. Really I can! No, seriously! I just don't want to right now cuz I enjoy it so much. I can quit though any time. And no I don't spend too much money on it either. I only have 6 rifles and 6 pistols because each one of them is for something different and I needed them to do their each individual job! |
