Gamo Silent Stalker Whisper IGT Air Rifle air rifle

 (8 customer reviews)

There is a silent stalker IGT and a silent stalker whisper IGT. You have the former pictured and the latter described and priced. FYI.

I bought the Silent Stalker Whisper IGT .22 to replace my old Crosman Magnum 2200 that finally broke after 30 years of shooting. All I can say is WOW. It took me about 25 shots to master the artillery hold shooting style, but after that man this thing is accurate with a good pellet.

I went through about 12 different pellet types to narrow down the best. By far, the H&N FTT are the most accurate with the flattest trajectory. Tied for second, is the Crosman Premier (Box only), the JSB Exact Jumbo HEAVY, and the Predator Polymag. With the H&N FTT, I have been able to get dime sized groups at 30 yards. The scope I received was defective. Gamo took the return for a new one, but I bought a Leapers 3-9x40 AO scope from Amazon for $65 and it is miles ahead of the stock Gamo. Even if the first one was not defective, I did not care for the non-AO. Image focus was not good over large range. The defect was that the scope's POA was 48 minutes out, and required that I shim the front of the scope. The new Leapers dropped right in, and no shimming needed. It was all dime groups at 30 yds with H&N at that point. The scope rail stop hole seems to get beat up pretty good, so I am thinking about a replacement on the scope mount also. Be sure to check that ALL stop...Read more
