They had a ad were some one killed a pig with a pellet gun   Posted: Sun Dec 21, 2008 1:09 am thepaladin Senior Member Joined: 12 Dec 2007 Posts: 930 Location: TN USA I don't know that they are better or worse than any other low to mid-priced airgun. They do push their product rather...aggressively, and the campign where they shot a boar with a .177 pba pellet was (I believe) irrisponsible. Still they make some ok products. Their guns have good points and bad. I have owned 2. The Stutzen is one of my favorite .177 rifles, the PT80 pistol wasn't fit to be a paper weight, so...hot and cold so far as I can tell. As for the shooting of game with inappropriate guns or ammo, hopefully we know better and Gamo won't make that mistake again...like I said, I hope. _________________ "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
