Page 7 - Gamo Big Cat 1250 Reviews

this is an amazing air rifle!!! i like the weight of it...the fact that its so light makes it excellent for hunting

little bit better scope

take the time to find out which pellet works the best...for me the gamo dome tiped pellets pound tacks all day long.

Just bought this air rifle in .22 caliber, scope is nice, gun very accurate and worth every penny of the price. Trigger a bit stiff , but o well. This will work well in my orchard, and I will not worry about a couple of dings or scratches. Will be a break for my RWS 34.

Trigger pull.

I like that the gun has a sythentic stock so you can use the gun all year round.Its perfect to kill any varmits with becuase it has a max volocity of 1200 fps

When i got this gun i had to change the scope cus it would only hold zero for like 15 shots so i got a center point 3-9x32 scope for it for like $54.00

The trigger for the gun maybe a little stiff

Mine came with the BSA scope ,sweet ,dialed it in, and its been accurate ever since shot over 3000 rounds no problems.gives a supersonic crack when the PBA ammo is used . A real pleasure to shoot and everyone that shoots it is addicted. When im out shootin the neighbors kids wander over with drool dripping off their little mouths so I let em shoot.. This gun is addictice, well balanced, and a pleasure to shoot.Any one with trigger creap concerns can lay em down after about a tin of beemans 7.7 gr it smoothes right out love the gun

Well nothing since mine came with the BSA scope

This rifle holds its own and loves the Beeman ammo does double holers the proof is in the back of the target one hole in the front two in the back and can this gun penetrate with great expansion ta boot Wow it will eat a lot of pellets cause you cant stop ........its always well ill shoot a couple more and jump cans over each other by tapin the tail of the can and there she goes lotta fun

this newer big cat has a plastic trigger.mine is nice, it breaks at about 4.5 pounds and lets off crisp.much better than my cfx rifle with the older metal trigger.not sure if all new triggers preform like mine.the gun is lighter than other full size springers.scope is clearer than other gamo scopes i've had.it's accurate.well worth the price.

you can't use after market triggers or the gas piston upgrade in these newer plastic trigger models.

read up on gamo's new plastic trigger.it's on other models also.it changes what upgrades you can/can't install.

well made

nothing

you will not be sorry if you purchase this rifle .22 cal nice!!!!

LOVE THIS RIFLE!!! I cannot believe how accurate this rifle is. The trigger is a little stiff and the scope is cloudy, but this thing is a TACK DRIVER! This rifle is very quiet. Squirrels were not spooked by the report. It shoots all pellets well, but it LOVES JSB Match Diabolos. I sighted it in with the Jumbo Heavy Diabolos and it is less than a quarter-inch at 50 feet! The Diabolo Jumbo RS pellets are lighter and group just as well. With my rifle dead on with the Jumbo Heavy pellets, the Jumbo RS pellets shoot about a inch high, so I use them for long distance shots! No need to adjust my aim. Perfect. I would have paid 3 times as much for this gun. BUY IT! I am sooooo glad I did. My Benjamin Trail is going back to a competitor today for a refund! Almost forgot....this rifle is so light and so easy to cock! I love it. I could shoot all day and not get tired.

Little nicer scope. It is still accurate though.

Get a good locking scope mount. Look at the one in the top 20 section. It works! This thing is sooooo easy to cock. Feels like a toy.

accuracy price and size

scope

when i got it the the scope was broken i toke it apart and it took some time but once it was fixed it and zeroed in the rifle was amazing. i can hit wire twist caps at 50 feet (16.5 yards )without missing. i suggest you buy a scope but the gamo one is ok. The barrel is easy to cock. i was hitting finches from about 20 yds and they dropped dead without moving at all(the are a pest the poop everywhere). i shot a pigeon at 30 yds and it was stone dead no suffering. this a great hunting/target rifle the scope is my only real problem.

Awesome price, good looking, accurate, very powerful, comfortable and an awesome all day shooter.

As far as Im concerned, nothing.

This is one of the best purchases I have ever made. This rifle is awesome and I promise you if you get one you won't be dissapointed. It has power, accuracy, quality construction and good asthetics to boot. ***One thing I did do is fill the stock with foam to eliminate that hollow twang sound. I did this by using the foam pyramyd air packs pellet tins in and making a small flat block that I stuffed into stock. Just cut the foam into pieces to make a block a little bit wider than the inside of the stock and tape them together with some duct tape. (Use duct tape or a simlar tape because it is rubbery and will not make a sound if it slides against the inside of the stock. Two screws at the top and bottom of the buttpad hold it on, remove those and don't lose the o-ring under it at the end of the stock.***

Great overall rifle, first air rifle since i was a kid, and have had a lot of fun with it.

The adjustable trigger I am not impressed with, the model I purchased has a small torx screw behind the triggger for adjustment, not like the one in the owners manual which has a flathead screw, this caused some confusion, and after learning that the torx screw was where I made my adjustment, I could tell no difference.

I have noticed that not all pellets are the same, I have fired Gamo ammo, and crosman ammo through the big cat, and like the crosman prenier the best. The most distinct thing I notice about the premier is that it seats very snuggly in the barrel, while the gamo, and others fit losely, and I believe this loose fit causes decreased accuracy.

weight, weight, weight. pretty accurate also, i got the .22 cal. and it has some knock down power on rodents.

add some fiber optic sights and do away with that 4 x scope. trigger could be a little lighter, but works well as is.

for the price, you can't beat it. groups well, and is a pleasure to carry around while hunting. try to get the .22 cal. if you hunt. you won't regret it. excellent deal!!

Very good feeling in the hands. Well-balanced, relatively lightweight, and sturdy. The scope that came with it took me a while to sight in (probably more me than the scope), but other than that it's just great. Great gun overall

Trigger is plastic now. The only cheap-feeling part of the gun in the trigger. Still 5 stars because it's at least the good carbon-reinforced plastic stuff (I doubt it will ever break under normal use). The butt of the stock is hollow, causing the rifle to be fairly noisy and make a twangy sound. Solved by removing recoil pad and stuffing the butt of the stock with some dense rags.

This is not a toy at all. It's a large, powerful gun. I wouldn't recommend it to any kids under 14, really. It's really just too big for them. The crossman premier hollowpoints are AMAZING through this gun, but filthy... buy a cleaning kit. The PBA pellets that come with this gun are awful. I tried some of the predator polymags, and they aren't as accurate as the crossmans. They look cool, though. >=)

I bought the 22. cal and the Accuracy is off the charts, cocking is like butter, loading is easy, the scope is fine, not blurry at all, and the gun fits me well, I am 6,6" and 220 lbs. Feels very sturdy and has a nice weight to it. The stock is absolutely amazing and feels great. alsothe distance I can get with this thing, I shot a pigeon in the head at 65yrds off a grain bin while leaning against the fence, mountain dew cans at 75 yrds. need I say more...

nothing really, make the trigger easier to kiss off because it affects long distance shooting, and give us some rings for a sling, I had to drill my own. .

This gun has some spank on it. Get the UTG $17.00 scope mount (no scope drift) and the red tip predator ammo, absolutely wonderful, by far the best for hunting. This gun is not loud at all, but it does kick, after several hundred rounds your shoulder will hurt, and if you dont have the above mount you will have to adjust your scope constantly. Buy the red tip predators for hunting and the crossman hollow points for plinking. Oh and most people are shooting 20-40 yrds. mine is dead on at 50 yrds, and you can take pigeons and other small game like rabbits etc, past 75 yrds, this baby is like a silent 22. cal rifle, absolutely the best airgun I have ever had.

price power

nothing for under 140 dollars great deal

great power for the price. once accurate as well

hefty, breeze to cock, fits me well, hits fairly hard out to perhaps 25 yard, have taken two coons and a possum in last two days, that's why I got it, good safety location, more attractive (not a high priority) and fitted (is a high priority) that I expected, easy to load, don't care for scopes for short distance shooting (under 150 yards), but this rifle isn't good for anywhere near there, wasn't designed for it, probably 40 yards or so effectively, which is why I bought it.

would be very nice to have a front sight with aperture rear sight since this is short range gun, won't be shooting a quarter mile after all...also, some sort of suppressor would be nice as it's actually louder than my .22 rifle w/ 32 inch barrel shooting .22 shorts. Gonna contact Pyramid about sights and suppressor in next few days. Live in town, air gun operation is legal for pest removal, but noise bothers neighbors.

I've not much experience, but that was by far the hardest time I ever had putting on a scope. Maybe I didn't know a trick or something. But first, second, and third shot (after cleaning bore twice with solvent) were 2 inches low, could be covered by half dollar, then at 15 yards, three shots were 3 inches low, could have just about been covered by a quarter. If I had to guess, appears scope zeroed at about 35-40 yards; will try when I go to camp. Scope too hard for me to use on running coon, really nee d aperture sights, for me.

For under 139.00 dollars its hard to beat .easy to cock great power and the scope is not bad at all. I hear some people complain about this bb gun all I can say build one better under a 139.00 dollars. I thought so. over all great power its plain looking no bells and whistle just a simple powerful more bang for your buck bb gun. great job gamo

most triger are plastic so what I dont buy a gun becuse it has a metal triger I buy it becuse of its performance- power and is it accurate

great price great power hard to beat

The scope is a really nice feature of this gun, it shoots really hard, you can blow through 3 full cans a foot apart easy. The weight is perfect not to heavy not to light just perfect

The sound on this gun is not that delight full, you can hear the spring launching it, but it really doesnt matter because all you have to do is full something soft into the butt stock

great gun would recommend this gun to any one, great for shooting targets and if you have a pest problem, just buy this gun and you will have fun getting ridd of these varmets

well to start off it has great accurcay and distance.it shoots best with the crosman premier hollow points.

the scope it isnt all that clear.the zoom on it is not that great

don't wory about putting a bipod on it cause it messes up accuracy

its light, great price, i like the plastic stock. wood is nice but i would scratch it, plus its light. easy to cock. i like the .22 model. easy to load with my fat fingers.

3x9 scope, better trigger. but of course it would be more money.

1st airgun since i was a kid, for the price im happy. replaced the trigger with charliedatuna trigger, spend the 32.00 and put it in, its great. plan on a better scope. good power , not very loud.

great accuracy

trigger pull is too long

well worth buying
