    With what I’ve picked up using heavier good quality slugs will help with accuracy and performance.
    I’ve already advised him to stop shooting at rabbits and learn how to shoot his rifle lol The worst thing he can do is scare them into hiding before he understands what the rifle is capable of.
    I don’t know what scope he’s got in it but it’ll likely be a GC special, Ranger probably.
    He needs to understand his drops and have a solid gauge on distance or I’ll be doing a trip with my hornet to shoot them from range lol

    Gamo then

    My mate bought one for his lifestyle block against my advice. There are a lot of bunnies limping around his place now. I had a go with it. 3 inch groups at 25 metres with an artillery hold. Usable I suppose.

    The older Gamo's were good air rifles, like a lot of the cheaper brands, quality goes out when manufacturing costs rise. My old Gamo 880 Hunter is an excellent gun and accurate with good pellets like Lapua etc.
