I wanted to purchase an air rifle that my son could use in the backyard and also take to the range when I shoot my rifle and maybe something to have on camping trips and so forth. We looked at Gander Mtn for air rifles but they were [..].
I noticed that Gamo seemed to make some decent entry-level adult rifles, so I thought I check to see if they had something smaller... I found this Recon.
It's a break-action single pump .177 caliber pellet rifle. This one seemed like it would be the perfect size for my son, so I ordered it. When we got it, all we had to do was attach the scope and we were out in the back yard shootin.
After we got the scope dialed in my son was exploding ice cubes with it at 15-20 yds. It'll push flathead pellets straight threw a Pepsi can without moving it. Plenty powerful enough for any kid... and yeah it would easily kill a bird or small animal no problem, so be careful! ...and don't let the kids play with it...Read more

I was a little skeptical after buying this gun, that it would not be powerfull enough to kill squirrels in my neighborhood. However, after sighting it in and going hunting it blew away all doubts about accuracy and power. I killed 3 squirrels with head shots from 45yrds away.
It is an incredible air rifle for the price.
However it really likes " Gamo Raptors" ,and " Crossman Premiers" for accuracy.

Perfect gun for shooting rats and targets, have to say there is nothing bad about the gun the scope maybe, but not the gun itself a 30 dollar scope from crosman (4x32) i put on it and every thing is working perfect. Its a Must Own for indoor and outdoor shooting(preferable outdoor it is pretty strong).
