The whisper deluxe is a sharp-looking, sharp-shooting air rifle that incorporates ND52, a noise-reduction technology that makes it one of the quietest air rifles you can buy (52% quieter). This spring-piston break barrel flings .177 cal PBA Raptor pellets at 1200-Feet Per Second (50 rounds included). Lead pellets will deliver about 1000-Feet Per Second. The 3-9x40-Millimeter scope has a standard reticle and a 1-piece scope mount. Features include auto-cocking safety, manual trigger safety, two-stage adjustable trigger, fiber optic front/rear sights and ambidextrous stock with twin raised cheek pieces. Special all-weather stock has checkered inserts in the grip & forearm! We measured the cocking effort and it was 35-Pounds. Gamo lists it at 30-Pounds, so it's likely that the cocking effort will diminish as the gun breaks in. The owner's manual states that the scope is mounted and bore-sighted. Includes special stock with checkered inserts, unmounted 3-9x40 scope with standard reticle, 1-piece mount, fiber optic sights and noise dampener.

I read some conflicting reviews here, but bought the gun nonetheless. I can see why some people were disappointed (because they failed to read the instructions). This gun is totally awesome. With the supersonic PBA's it will crack, with subsonic (lead) HPs or wad cutters you will only here the air/spring. It is deadly accurate for 20-40 yards. So many reviews show neglect for reading the optics/scope instructions. Many screws are loose upon purchase for set up. Set it and secure every screw and you will have no problems. I have heard that buying this gun is a "crap shoot", although my neighbors followed my lead and allowed me to sight their guns--they work flawlessly. No better value out there!

This pellet rifle is easy to use and very accurate. It took a little bit to zero-in the scope, but after about 15 minutes of tuning it in, I have been amazed at the accuracy. Most of my shooting hasn't been longer than 50 yards, so I can't say much about long shots, but up to there it is easy to get 1" groupings. It is a little noisy with the Gamo pellets that come with it, but reportedly it is quieter with lead pellets, which I haven't tried yet.
PROS:
- Easy cocking mechanism
- Easy pellet loading
- Very accurate with scope
- Flat shooting to about 50 yds - possible longer
- All tools and mounting rings included for scope mounting
- Fiber optic sights are bright and clear if you don't want to mess with scope
- Amazon pricing is great for this pellet rifle!
CONS:
- Not quite "whisper" quiet using Gamo Raptor Pellets that come with the rifle
- Scope is shipped loose and not bore-sighted
- Takes...Read more

Contrary to other reviews, this rifle is not loud. If you use the Raptor pellets that break the sound barrier ( a sample pack of them come with the rifle ) then it you'll hear a crack like a whip but not with regular pellets. Those Raptors are just a novelty really.
The only noise this gun makes is the spring in the gun going thru it's motions which is not loud. Also, the noise supressor limits the noise in the direction that you are shooting. It still sounds the same to you and to anyone behind or to the side of you. But if you go out 50 yards in the direction you are shooting and listen to it you just hear the spring of the rifle which if my neighbors can hear it, they don't think it's a gun going off. This is a really nice air rifle and very accurate. The instructions for putting the scope on are a little screwey but I figured it out. Also, I just had a part inside the gun break which I just wrote to Amazon about and they immeadiately sent me back a note saying they...Read more
