I was out looking for a pistol this past weekend and got side tracked with pellet guns. I ended up buying a Gamo Big Cat .177cal. What a gun for the price. I put about a 100 rounds through it yesterday in the back yard just getting familiar with it. Not my favorite trigger. Even after adjusting the trigger its still not great but manageable. Up to fifty yards its still holds about a 3 inch group and only drops about 6-7 inches. At the far distance its penetrating the wood deep enough that you cannot see the pellet. The gophers in the back yard are in trouble. In fact some have already been eliminated.
