Which Gamo Rifle Reviews? Whisper, Recon, Viper?

Last year we'd made a commitment to review the popular Gamo Air Rifles (Airguns) that were not getting much attention form alot of the related blogs. Well it was a busy year at Gamo product wise including the introduction of the .177 cal., Gamo Whisper with integral sound dampening at the muzzel. That product into did spur interest in Gamo who's Shadow 1000 (S1k) has strong support in the forums.

Anyway, I digress, I did purpose and test the Whisper at length in order for the reviews to contain a complete overview. This pushed things back a bit.

Complete Testing has been done on the following:

Gamo Recon
Gamo Shadow 1000
Gamo Viper
Gamo Whisper

The Viper Express and Gamo Extremes have been well covered in Pyramyds Blog which ocourse includes outstanding coverage for the Shadow too, but my intention here was to use it to provide a comparative base line that many shooters have some familiarity with.

Are there any that generate particular interest or priority?

Crosman Airguns Limitted Edition and Factory Custom Options like Colt's or Remmington

"Outdoorsman 2250XE" Some of the most exciting things happening in the US air guns market this year are being brought about by a single company. Crosman. One of these is giving the cusomer a part in the design of their own rifle to suit their tastes and needs. This tradition was carried on by Colt's and other fine american gunmakers, I am pleased to say is carried on by Crosman today.

For at least a year or more the Crosman factory custom shop has been allowing customer to create their own custom rifle or carbine with features ranging from a camo finish, 0r choice 14", 18", and "20 inch barrels with with or whithout muzzle weights and rigger shoes. The number of options are staggering.

You tuly can have your way and you can see what it looks like and will cost in advance. Their websites lets you build your gun visually expermenting with sight and stock choices (including some very attractive wood ones) as well as the trigger shoe, brach length or custom laser inscriptions and purchase online when the details are set. It really is a lot of fub.

Crosman is dispplaying this "Outdoorsman 2250XE" as a standard model both let me know that they beem listening to some of their customers, and having my eye for a future purchase.

Where can we shoot our airguns and soft air in Oregon (OR)

I've done a little bit of research in to this topic with out alot of clear success. Accoring to one "informed" individual all or the non-clear Crosman Soft Air products are "illegal" in one nearby township.



Oregon state parks offer opportunity, but please remember not all parks are open to airgunners.



One can also join one of the fine shooting clubs that have embrassed airgun shooting and shooters.



But still. I look for a designated outdoor venue that might support competition and getting together for those aroung Portland, OR.



Also interested in any one that is curretly offering dipatch by air rifle as a means for certain enterprises to mantain cleanliness standards.



Hope to hear from you.
