Comment: I had to return this rifle because of major damage incurred during shipping due to very poor packaging by the shipper - they shipped this rifle in the original "store display" carton without further packaging to protect from damage by normal shipping "wear and tare". I didn't want to take a chance on a second attempt for correct packaging so I got a full refund instead.

Comment: This air rifle is a good value for a high powered pellet rifle. Expect a half inch group bench rest at fifty feet. Good scope for the price. GAMO tech. support very fast regarding e-mail question. A variety of ammunition choices make this a good hunter as well as an inexpensive plinker.

Comment: A very hot gun with pba ammo. Well built and shipped in good time.

Comment: This gun has now been in my hands for a couple of weeks. In that time, I have shot well over 200 rounds of Beeman pointed pellets. After getting the scope zeroed in, at 25 yards, was able to achieve a very tight group. Instead of holes, I was cutting paper, as the grouping was that tight. The scope was to have been bored sighted, but don't think this was the case as it was not even close when the gun was first shoot. Be ready to spend some time to zero in. Once done, it seems to hold the settings.

The scope does provided a bright picture, but it could be a bit sharper when it comes to being focused.

After zeroing in the scope, I wanted to check out the drop of the pellet at longer ranges. Placed a cup out near the 50-yard line, thinking if I fire at it, I should be able to see some dust before the cup that would give a good idea of pellet drop. With the first shot, the cup jumped. Thought OK, this must have been one of those lucky things. Taking a second shot, the cup again jumped. So zeroing the scope at the short range I did, 25 yards, I was still able to hit a target at near 50 yards.

The tiger is a bit stiff, but you are not paying for a high-end target rifle here. The first few shots were rather loud. After several shots had been taken, the sound was a bit softer. The loudness may have been the results of oil left over from the manufacturing process, as there was smoke only for the first few shots.

Cocking the rifle does not take much effort and the pellet loads very well with the skirt being flush with the end of the barrel. Finding a few pellets that had been fired allowed me to see the rifling marks. These were good and were very uniformed around the entire pellet.

There are just a couple of minor things that could use improvements. The sharpness of the scope. Again, not bad, but could be better. And the trigger pull could be a bit lighter. Even with the adjustment screw, it is still a bit stiff. But my target rifle could have spoiled me here.

Over all, this is a fine, adult fitting, pellet rifle for the price.
