Little Bargain


Recommended Posts

Hi there gents, been sitting in the shadows quietly popping in the section now and again missing shooting a lot so been looking for a new rifle for myself for a while to wander the firlds with the dogs over the summer. Although cant justify spending the money needed for what i wanted at the moment i was still eager to get out again so popped into the local shop for a gander, picked up a nice looking nearly new .177 Gamo gx40 with silencer and bipod for £270 which i thought was a deal, 10 shot so ideal for what i want and felt really comfy in the shoulder so for that price i was happy at least it will get me out and about until funds allow for bigger and better in the future.

anyone had one of these and are they any good ? or did i waste my money? 

 

going to pop a spare hawke 3-9-40 ao scope i have laying around on tonight and start t enjoy myself again.

cheers all

Same action as the Phox, Venari, Boxer and BSA Buccaneer. BSA barrel. Made in Birmingham. The only bits that are Gamo are the trigger and the stock.

I've had one for nearly 3 years, better than the S200 I had before. Look at the reviews on AGF.

Hi Tom,how much of a selection of springers did they have there?

All the times I've been to Screwfix around the corner and I didn't know they stocked guns?

I'll Have to pop in and have a gander.
