| My recently purchased Gamo Recon is fun, but my kids have a tough time using the included scope. I really wish it had open sights, but it doesn't. Would an inexpensive red dot scope be easier for th ... |

| FWIW, the new barrel was filthy. I ran several patches down it and the first few were nearly black. I ran a couple with Windex on them and finally one with a drop of oil. I, then, shot 5-8 pellets ... |

| I just bought a Gamo Recon for the family and the manual is worthless with regard to cleaning tips. What should I use to clean out the factory "gunk" in the barrel? Do I need oil for anyth ... |

| For that matter, don't visit any retailer or website that sells airgun stuff. I'd actually love it if I had a local place that sold more than the cheap-o stuff and had staff that knew something about ... |

| A spring-powered gun will take upwards of 1,000 rounds to break in, so you will have plenty of time to try different pellets as you come across them.So, I could purchase a bulk pack and shoot through ... |

I think I'm going to end up with the Gamo Delta (or Recon as it seems the Delta may no longer be made) or the Crossman Raven. So, given those two break barrel guns, what else do I need to purchase?

I've looked around a bit more and think I have a good "list" worth further consideration (though I'm willing to look at others if you bring them up).

| If you want my honest opinion go with a 2250 from crosman. It's a co2 powered lightweight. THey advertise that the rifle with scope weighs less than 4 lbs. The 2250XT or the 2250XE? I think the only ... |
