Gamo Bone Collector Bull Whisper IGT Air Rifle

This gun is very powerful. The heft makes it feel much more like a real rifle , which, in turn, makes me shoot it better. The original scope and mount were ok for plinking I guess, but not consistent. After changing it for a BSA 2-7 x32 with objective focus and 4 screw base, wow. Night and day difference, truly accurate a pleasure to shoot. Red fire pellets, as others have said, really shoot great. Quarter size and smaller groups at 30yds. I think the gun can do better, I'm probably the issue but it takes squirrels cleanly out to 40yds which has been my farthest opportunity. The wife also gets great groups and enjoys it for practice when we can't get to the range with our real rifles.

As said before, just change the scope and mount out of the gate, don't waste time and ammo with the old one. Use a torque wrench when mounting.

It is fairly loud but not rifle loud, the pba pellets sound like a .22lr tho. I loaned mine to a friend for squirrel control and he and his 2 neighbors bought 1 of these and 2 maxxim whisper bone collectors, virtually the same gun. My first gas piston gun and I'm liking it over my very old bee man springer. I would have given 5 star overall but scope and mount change raised investment amount.

light and ACCURATE! WOW! i was quite surprised to find this rifle so accurate and quiet. i don't know why P.A. rates the sound level a 3, i'd give it a 2 at most. this gun is way quieter than my gamo raptor whisper.

the scope is junk. after a thorough break in, the scope was installed and it failed within 50 rounds. the cross hairs where at 45* after 100 rounds.

my rifle loves the gamo red tip pellets. yours will vary. very backyard friendly.

1. Everything! The color scheme is visually appealing. 2. Fit and finish is very classy. 3. The break-in time for the barrel is next to non-existent. 4. Contrary to most of my experiences and perhaps yours,the factory-supplied scope is actually good! The effort required to break open the barrel is easier that most, and is smooth to boot. 5. The trigger is smooth, with a guestimated pull of 3.5-4 pounds, and breaks cleanly. At 23 yards, I can wear out a bullseye in no time. Honestly, what I do now is shoot a hole, and that hole then becomes my target. This is one accurate rifle given the class that it's in!

I really can't think of anything I'd change. Mine loves the economical Crosman Premier hollowpoints (.177 / 7.9 grains). It packs a punch...enough to make it a bad day for crows!

As with all break-barrels: 1. Clean the bore before shooting 2. Oil all pivot and metal-to-metal points 3. Use loctite on stock and sight mount screws 4. Learn the artillery hold 5. Practice breathing technique. 6. Be aware that the allen wrench isn't a hex type, but a rather a torx style. Actually I like this better because screws are less likely to strip out. Given that nearly all scopes come with hex-head allen wrenches, it WOULD be a nice touch if an extra wrench was provided, but I have a set of torx wrenches anyway, so it's no biggie.

This is a handy rifle its light especially compared to the rws 48 and hatsan torpedo 100x I like the new trigger miles better than the old gamo trigger easy to cock mine liked the gamo redfire pellets which was kind of odd because no other rifle I own did the stock is nice and it is quiet whether do to the whisper technology or not I dont know but much quieter than the hatsan

I think all air gun manufacturers should swiyvh to weaver rails instead of dovetails but I use adaptors and jb weld them into place and has worked great I don't see a reason the rail would ever have to come off so works for me

The cocking weight is light the rifle is light great rifle for all day hunting and taking off hand shots I recommend this rifle as a great first rifle or even just another to add to the collection

Break barrel is easy to manage, light weight, recoil reduction is awesome, safety trigger is convenient... Overall, worth the money spent.

Have it come with a better scope

The silencing system doesn't really seem to make much of a difference

this gun is stable to shoot. 1300 fps is very healthy.the gun feels great in my hands and cheek rest is perfect.the break action is strong.

the Gamo scope that comes with gun is junk. my value rating is only 3 stars due to needing to buy a new scope of better quality which increased my cost by $100.00 to $279.00

don't forget to order pellets with your purchase.

I have a large collection of hand guns but no Rifles, as I live in area where there no room to shot one. I have a indoor range.The gun by far lives up to its name. One could not ask for more.It is accurate, has a great trigger, and a nice kick..

Put a good scope on it. shame great gun, cheep scope

Plan on buying a good scope. The gun is great.

Light, all pellets I have used work great and shoot dime.size Groupe from 50 yards

Come with a better scope

MY SCOPE WAS SLIPPING TO BUT IT WAS BECAUSE I FORGOT TO SCREW THE MOUNT RING DOWN INTO THE HOLE ON THE BACK MOUNT AFTER THE GUN SHOT GREAT.

I have the .22 cal version "new" version Bone Collector which has the shock wave absorber scope mount and the CAT trigger. With the scope that came with it it did ok. I ran a few hundred pellets through it with the factory scope and it kept good accuracy. I needed a better scope so I went with a Hatsan 3-9x40AO and used the stock mounts. Scope does stay put due to the new scope rail on the gun. I get dime size groups at 30 yards with Crosman Premier Hollow points and Benjamin Hollow points.The recoil from the gun is almost unnoticeable. My Ruger Air hawk .177 has 2 to 3 times the kick this gun has. This is my go to air rifle now.

Nothing. With the new changes Gamo has made to the gun it is truly a great piece out of the box.

There is a new version of this gun that has addressed the scope mounting issues. The improvements truly work. I didn't have any kind of scope creep at all with the factory scope and mounts and I am still using the factory mounts with a Hatsan scope. Gamo truly listen to its customers and there needs.

The accuracy is like no air rifle I have ever had. Even with the supplied scope I have been having consistently small groupings. I also like the look and feel of the gun.

I would like a better scope. I have several .22 scopes sitting around and will replace the original when I feel it is not long performing well. At this point it is just simple not a clear crisp image. The edges distort a little.

This is our 4th Gamo and is by far the best. I have a Whisper DX, and my son started with a Recon Whisper and is now shooting a Silent Cat. The Bone Collector is clearly more powerful and we both shoot better with it then the other air guns. Out of the box the bone collector has a rather loud cracking sound when fired but that quiets down as it is broken in. I think what impresses me above all is how accurately I am able to shoot with this gun.
