No kidding it was edited. That doesn't make it any less real - and the shots aren't 'lobbed'. If you spent any time reading you'd see that the range was compensated for using a mil-dot crosshair in 9 power glass and that the pellets penetrated a metal container at 100 yards. No one here is claiming that a 100 yd shot is suitable for any air rifle hunting situation.
how do you take this gun apart?? i found the one screw by the trigger but when i pull out the barrel and stuff it gets stuck right around the fore grip of the gun...is there another screw??? thanks!!
Hey I got a question I have this rifle to but my scope that is the same as yours, i think is not zerod enough but i shoot mostley up to 80 yards and still i sont see the pellets come down or impact. D you have any tips on shooting and zeroing. thx
i have a Gamo Whisper VH in .177and with Crosman Premier 7.9gr Domes i can succeed in this shot 9 out of 10 times. sometimes 10 out of 10. my rifle has been tuned by rich and mich and i have the GRTIII trigger so i guess that makes all the difference. what power were you using on your scope and hoe many mils holdover?
thats sweet i seen this video a long time ago and it convinced me to buy the whisper i have now! i havent ever set the scope for that distance bit overall a badass accurate gun.
Nice shooting. I shot a full soda can (shook up and warm) at 100 yards with my .22 Remington NPSS and Leapers 3-9x40. When it hit, the can literally exploded. I have not tried any longer distance yet, but I am sure it can be done. Your property is super nice!
@HondaRidercrf150r I would stay away from the BSA scopes. They are not quality scopes and may lose zero after a short period of time. Leaper's are a bit better. I have been very pleased with my Centerpoint. Whatever you do, make sure you get one that's rated for air rifles or you'll ruin it in a hurry.
i HATE how air gun companies use the high velocity PBA ammo tactics for marketing rifles and classifying quality/power.
to the average joe, if they see a 1200fps AD as opposed to 1000fps... obviously theyre gonna be intrigued immediately and think that that rifle is super powerful!
the truth is, PBA ammo SUCK. velocity means nothing! yes it increases muzzle velocity using pba, but it will lose kinetic energy way faster cuz its too light. and its inaccurate.
@jps13party agreed, i just got this gun an i'm using pointed crossman hunting pellets and this thing is a beast. no need for the pba, i took down a groundhog from 50 yards with the crossman points.
pretty much a quick lesson in air gun ballistics and hunting-
if you want to kill small game animals at MAXIMUM range, first off duh get a powerful rifle but mostly its the grain and caliber thats most important.
a .25 caliber pellet will have double the kinetic energy passed 50 yrds than a .22 cal, although the .22 cal will have the advantage on range. the .25 will kill better at long ranges by a HUGGE amount.
as for hunting with a .177, the pellet will lose energy too fast for long range
@TiM0F33 There' s no way you're killing a rabbit at 100 yards with ANY air rifle. 25 to 30 yards at best on a cottontail and that's with a head shot - and I would try using one of the pointed hunting pellets out there to get the most out of the rifle on small game.
What velocity is the GAMO supposed to get with those pellets? Because you hear the shot before the can hit. Sound travels at approx 1100 f.p.s. So hearing the rifle first by about a 10th of a second implies the velocity is 800-900 f.p.s. Anyone got any ideas?
The only pellets that exceed the sound barrier are the Gamo Raptors. I don't use them, especially when shooting for distance; they are unstable have no accuracy.
the velocity was initially 1000fps or 1200fps with the Gamo PBA but the farther away the farther the pellet has to travel slowing it down, sound will not slow down.
BTW Mach varies based on atmosphearic conditions...anywhere from 1000fps to 1250fps based on the conditions.
As I understand it, the speed drop is pretty serious for the lighter pellets. At 30 yards a 1000 fps muzzle velocity will drop to 600 fps. and at 100 yards probably less than 250! That explains the rifle noise being ahead of the pellet hit on the can in this video. I guess it all depends on the range one is shooting at as to whether the higher velocity is of any value. Since the highest muzzle velocity pellet, due to low mass, loses velocity much more quickly. Hunting? Choose heavier pellets.
at 30 yards a raptor that was shot at 1000 fps will drop to 790-810 fps. at 100 yards will slow down too 310-330. though a raptor only going 1000fps is a low powered springer. raptors are usually shot out of atleast 1200fps
That's probably accurate. It's tough to chrony pellets because they are so small. I tried a few times with mixed results. I'm not really that interested to be honest with you. The Raptor pellets certainly break the sound barrier, though, and make a loud crack.
hmm if you need to aim high why did you use heavier pellets??? or is the accuracy better with those baracudas. I like the Raptor pellets that should help by increasing the velocity... give it a try i would love to hear the results,
Better accuracy with heavier lead (more stable at longer ranges and less affected by wind), also I have heard that raptors can cause damage to the mainspring over time because they are so light; I don't use them. Even at 100 yds. the Baracudas penetrate one side of a 1 gallon steel container, which I found unbelievable.
your right that is unbelievable, do you need to aim really high or just a little bit?? i want to buy a gamo varmint hunter/shadow sport and i want to know what the maximum range is. i have a really big backyard too so i would like to have some airrifle long range fun instead of 25 yards
Thanks for the info Forester, I ordered a scope things to 98snakeeater, and also that grt iii trigger. The guy who sold me the trigger (charliedatuna) had a memo saying do not fire extra heavy ammo w/ the gamo. What do you think?
You are the man for making that shot. I have a few questions for you. I got a gammo a few months ago. I have trouble hitting 50 yards with it. Everything is stock on it. Did you replace the scope or the trigger??? I just put on order 500 ct of the pellets you recommened in your video. Also, I was shooting about 40 yards yesterday at a can of beans. I had to compensate to the right to hit it repeatedly, Not sure if my scope is off, or if it was the wind(there was a bit of wind)
Definitely replace the scope (I have had great luck with the centerpoint I have on mine). The 'Gamo' scope is actually a BSA model, none of which will hold a zero properly. Get one of the better airgun scopes and you will be quite happy with your groups. I replaced my trigger also - with the GRT aftermarket one. Much nicer feel and break; easy to install, and it will also help with your accuracy at extreme ranges.
You might have to use something called the artillery hold. Balance the rifle in your open palm and let it vibrate and recoil. This should increase accuracy. More about this on PyramidAir's blog. Read around a little bit and you will see that he talks about it a lot.
Not sure what you're talking about. If you are implying that it's not 100 yards you are incorrect. I measured it with a forester's hip chain (I am also a former land surveyor) at 300 feet and then hung the can. I wouldn't call it 100 yrds if it wasn't. No, I can't hit it every time - that's a limitation of the rifle, but I can hit it regularly by compensating for the elevation drop. A gallon jug can easily be hit repeatedly with the whisper at 100 yrds.
It's quieter for two reasons. First, I do not have a spring piston in mine, I am using an air-ram piston conversion instead. There is no spring noise or twisting, and it can be left cocked indefinitely. Second, I use heavy pellets that don't break the sound barrier.
I had the conversion done by PyramidAir when I bought the rifle. It was about $100. I think you can send them your rifle. Not sure if a standard gunsmith would do it, but you could ask. There is some danger in doing it yourself, as you are dealing with compressed spring pressure.
Have you use PBA pellets in yours? if yes your piston gasket may be gone pallllll. PBA pellets are the number 1 enemy of air rifles, since they are so light the piston will slam really bad and the gasket will be gone in just the first 30 shots, thats why your rifle is a lit bit loud, some air is going out of the cylinder walls
Does that means that we should only use heavy or extra heavy pellets and ignore the lower muzzle velocity, in order to prolongate the life of an air rifle?
177; they only just came out with the 22 version. You won't get that kind of range with a 22. Since airgun hunting generally requires headshots on small game anyway, I would opt for the 177; it gets you higher velocity, more range, and has the same effect when a squirrel is hit in the head.
so i have the daisy powerline 880 and its sp crazy to get the cope sighted in that came with it and i was just wondering what ewould be a bettere alternative to the cheap scope that came with it thankx and please comment me back
Check PyramidAir or Airgundepot for a 1" tube scope, maybe a Centerpoint or a Leapers would be good enough. You'll need 1" rings to mount on the 880's 3/8 grooved receiver, too. Spend as much as you can afford to on the scope, you will get what you pay for.
I have the same gun you have and I put a BARSKA scope on it from the local sporting good store. It is so much easier to use and is crazy accurate now!
I was looking into purchasing either a Gamo Whisper refurbished or a brand new Gamo Big Cat. Have you (or anyone here for that matter) ever tested them side by side and compared accuracy? I was curious about the refurbished one because it's cheaper, has the same warranty and, in my estimation, was probably retooled with greater care and detail than those being originally mass produced. I'd like to know what you think...
I would not hesitate to buy refurbs and I always look for them first, but I would go with the Whisper if you can. I would be surprised if one was more accurate than the other, however; the Whisper has an integrated one-piece scope base for use with scope-stop rings and I believe the Cat does not. That was enough for me to prefer the Whisper.
Absolutely; that is probably twice the optimal range for this rifle. With the Mil-dot Centerpoint scope I'm using the 3rd dot, which is quite a bit of holdover. I still easily get through both sides of the can, though, and it is almost impossible to get multiple hits in a row, as the group size gets fairly large at that distance.
you live in the U.P.?, kinda looks like it and every one who lives up there has a red squirrel problem so yeah just wondering if thats where you live(not saying red squirrels are only found in the u.p. but that in combination with the scenery makes me wonder if thats where this was filmed.)
I suppose that's up for debate. Most of the hype about the rifle is its supposed silencer. I could care less about that, and it doesn't do much anyway as far as I could tell. The rifle is very light, well balanced, accurate (one piece scope mount), and fun to shoot. The GRT trigger and a nice quality scope make it an excellent hunting rifle.
It's a nice rifle. I have an RWS model 48 also but it's so heavy it's tough to hunt with for very long. I also got the ram air piston installed on my Whisper, so I can leave it cocked indefinitely without worrying about spring fatigue. I would recommend at least installing the GRT trigger. It's a cheap mod and easy to do. The stock trigger is poor. Also buy the best airgun scope you can afford. Get rid of the BSA that comes with the rifle.
yeah i noticed that the scope is a little weird ill c what i can find ill snoop around by the way i used the rifle with the normal 50 pellets they gave me and WOW its umm loud but powerful as hell
I can tell you that for the Whisper and most other high velocity rifles, stick with heavy pellets. I use Diabolo Baracuda Extra Heavy, H&N Field and Target, Beeman Kodiak Match Extra Heavy, Beeman Crow Magnum, and if you want to go a little bit lighter then Beeman Silver Bear. I've also heard of guys having good luck with Crosman Premier Hollow Points but I haven't tried them. Don't be concerned with velocity, be more concerned with accuracy.
yea rite now im using a crossman premeire hollow points. theyre relly good and i reccomend them to anybody. thats all im using now cuz thats wat seemed to do the best accuracy wise. so thanks for ur recomendations. ill chek them out.
Last I checked about $220. With a decent scope about $320. You aren't going to find anything for $60 that isn't a POS. Save your money and get something that you can actually use for awhile. That being said, the best you can do for $60-$70 is probably the Crosman 2100b pump rifle. Gets about 750 fps. In the same category is the Daisy 880, but I would prefer the Crosman. I've owned both of these when I was a kid.
@foresterscott01 have to say great shooting for a start and its about seeing how it sounds not what your target is !!!!! have you done anything with it, like a turbo or super tune changed the stock scope too something i cant afford???? its a great shot either way well done thanks for posting and keeping it real are you happy with the rifle in general thinking of buying one ....
crosman phantom 1000x .117 pellet max velocity 1000fps 3x-9x bsa scope will i be able to do that??? dont worry about my ability to shoot i just need to know if my gun can do the job! anyone?
The pellets that I use are traveling about 860 fps out of a rifle that will shoot raptors at 1200. You could certainly attain similar ballistics from a Crosman Phantom. Stick with heavy pellets for the best accuracy. Also, lose the BSA scope and pick up something of quality. I'm using a CenterPoint 3-9x here.
Airgundepot has some good airgun specific scopes. Buy the best one you can afford. Do not use a regular firearms scope on a spring piston airgun; it will be damaged. The problem with the BSAs is that most will not hold a zero properly. I had one come free with the Whisper but I never used it. The Centerpoint I bought came with a one piece base and dual illuminated mil-dot reticle (which is a necessity for shooting at long ranges). It was around $100.

He is using extra heavy lead pellets so they have maybe a 900fps muzzle velocity and after about 100 yards I suspect it is around 500-600 fps.
But yes, lighter pellets will start fast and slow fast, heavies will start slower and carry farther.
lockheed22 2 years ago
at 30 yards a raptor that was shot at 1000 fps will drop to 790-810 fps. at 100 yards will slow down too 310-330. though a raptor only going 1000fps is a low powered springer. raptors are usually shot out of atleast 1200fps

Thanks for the info Forester, I ordered a scope things to 98snakeeater, and also that grt iii trigger. The guy who sold me the trigger (charliedatuna) had a memo saying do not fire extra heavy ammo w/ the gamo. What do you think?
mycaddigo 2 years ago
You are the man for making that shot. I have a few questions for you. I got a gammo a few months ago. I have trouble hitting 50 yards with it. Everything is stock on it. Did you replace the scope or the trigger??? I just put on order 500 ct of the pellets you recommened in your video. Also, I was shooting about 40 yards yesterday at a can of beans. I had to compensate to the right to hit it repeatedly, Not sure if my scope is off, or if it was the wind(there was a bit of wind)
Pls Help
mycaddigo 2 years ago
Definitely replace the scope (I have had great luck with the centerpoint I have on mine). The 'Gamo' scope is actually a BSA model, none of which will hold a zero properly. Get one of the better airgun scopes and you will be quite happy with your groups. I replaced my trigger also - with the GRT aftermarket one. Much nicer feel and break; easy to install, and it will also help with your accuracy at extreme ranges.

You might have to use something called the artillery hold. Balance the rifle in your open palm and let it vibrate and recoil. This should increase accuracy. More about this on PyramidAir's blog. Read around a little bit and you will see that he talks about it a lot.

ok i have shot air rifles all my life and there is no way you could get a 100 yard shot out of that.
moethesecond 2 years ago
Not sure what you're talking about. If you are implying that it's not 100 yards you are incorrect. I measured it with a forester's hip chain (I am also a former land surveyor) at 300 feet and then hung the can. I wouldn't call it 100 yrds if it wasn't. No, I can't hit it every time - that's a limitation of the rifle, but I can hit it regularly by compensating for the elevation drop. A gallon jug can easily be hit repeatedly with the whisper at 100 yrds.

How do you get it to be so quite?my spring makes a lot of noise.
obow 3 years ago
It's quieter for two reasons. First, I do not have a spring piston in mine, I am using an air-ram piston conversion instead. There is no spring noise or twisting, and it can be left cocked indefinitely. Second, I use heavy pellets that don't break the sound barrier.
foresterscott01 3 years ago
How much did the conversion cost?I am assuming i'd have to take it to a gunsmith.I also use crossman's lead pellets4.5mm.
obow 3 years ago
I had the conversion done by PyramidAir when I bought the rifle. It was about $100. I think you can send them your rifle. Not sure if a standard gunsmith would do it, but you could ask. There is some danger in doing it yourself, as you are dealing with compressed spring pressure.
foresterscott01 3 years ago
Have you use PBA pellets in yours? if yes your piston gasket may be gone pallllll. PBA pellets are the number 1 enemy of air rifles, since they are so light the piston will slam really bad and the gasket will be gone in just the first 30 shots, thats why your rifle is a lit bit loud, some air is going out of the cylinder walls
supersabrejet 2 years ago 2
Does that means that we should only use heavy or extra heavy pellets and ignore the lower muzzle velocity, in order to prolongate the life of an air rifle?

igoriliev16 2 years ago
No too heavy and your providing a lot of resistance and making them inefficent and less powerful.
animalguy05 2 years ago
im thinking about purchasing a gamo whisper is that a .177 or a .22 ?
flawlessisnasty 3 years ago
177; they only just came out with the 22 version. You won't get that kind of range with a 22. Since airgun hunting generally requires headshots on small game anyway, I would opt for the 177; it gets you higher velocity, more range, and has the same effect when a squirrel is hit in the head.
foresterscott01 3 years ago
i got a gamo whisper VH with laser and flashlight with pressure pads for sale..brand new less than 200 shots thru it

Volleygirl1591 3 years ago
Check PyramidAir or Airgundepot for a 1" tube scope, maybe a Centerpoint or a Leapers would be good enough. You'll need 1" rings to mount on the 880's 3/8 grooved receiver, too. Spend as much as you can afford to on the scope, you will get what you pay for.
foresterscott01 3 years ago
I have the same gun you have and I put a BARSKA scope on it from the local sporting good store. It is so much easier to use and is crazy accurate now!
sorich 3 years ago
Great shooting!
I was looking into purchasing either a Gamo Whisper refurbished or a brand new Gamo Big Cat. Have you (or anyone here for that matter) ever tested them side by side and compared accuracy? I was curious about the refurbished one because it's cheaper, has the same warranty and, in my estimation, was probably retooled with greater care and detail than those being originally mass produced. I'd like to know what you think...
Vacantstance 3 years ago
I would not hesitate to buy refurbs and I always look for them first, but I would go with the Whisper if you can. I would be surprised if one was more accurate than the other, however; the Whisper has an integrated one-piece scope base for use with scope-stop rings and I believe the Cat does not. That was enough for me to prefer the Whisper.

AustinKelegrimm 3 years ago
at 100 yards do you have to aim up much or not at all?
outlander4x4 3 years ago
Absolutely; that is probably twice the optimal range for this rifle. With the Mil-dot Centerpoint scope I'm using the 3rd dot, which is quite a bit of holdover. I still easily get through both sides of the can, though, and it is almost impossible to get multiple hits in a row, as the group size gets fairly large at that distance.

WHAT HAVE YOU SHOT WITH THE WHISPER?
devinsb2 3 years ago
Squirrels, mostly reds around the house. Generally any body shot will drop them quick. For greys I definitely do headshots only.
foresterscott01 3 years ago
you live in the U.P.?, kinda looks like it and every one who lives up there has a red squirrel problem so yeah just wondering if thats where you live(not saying red squirrels are only found in the u.p. but that in combination with the scenery makes me wonder if thats where this was filmed.)

is it worth 200 dolars?
devinsb2 3 years ago
I suppose that's up for debate. Most of the hype about the rifle is its supposed silencer. I could care less about that, and it doesn't do much anyway as far as I could tell. The rifle is very light, well balanced, accurate (one piece scope mount), and fun to shoot. The GRT trigger and a nice quality scope make it an excellent hunting rifle.
foresterscott01 3 years ago
sry i skipped talking part, u use scope or just sights?
opec11 3 years ago
There's no way to make this shot without a scope. I use a CenterPoint 3-9x MilDot Scope and a one piece base.
foresterscott01 3 years ago
is yours the .22 or .177 version?
treehouse786 3 years ago
It's a 177. I don't think the Whisper comes in .22. If it does it must be just out.

gsharpshooter80 3 years ago
It's a nice rifle. I have an RWS model 48 also but it's so heavy it's tough to hunt with for very long. I also got the ram air piston installed on my Whisper, so I can leave it cocked indefinitely without worrying about spring fatigue. I would recommend at least installing the GRT trigger. It's a cheap mod and easy to do. The stock trigger is poor. Also buy the best airgun scope you can afford. Get rid of the BSA that comes with the rifle.
foresterscott01 3 years ago
yeah i noticed that the scope is a little weird ill c what i can find ill snoop around by the way i used the rifle with the normal 50 pellets they gave me and WOW its umm loud but powerful as hell
gsharpshooter80 3 years ago
Careful shooting the Raptors. I've read from several different sources that prolonged use of the ultralight pellets can cause piston failure.
foresterscott01 3 years ago
thanx for the tip im using the pellets that come with it i dont know if there raptors but yeah

foresterscott01 3 years ago
can you tell me your top five choices for ammo for a gamo gun? (.177)
bamf64 3 years ago
I can tell you that for the Whisper and most other high velocity rifles, stick with heavy pellets. I use Diabolo Baracuda Extra Heavy, H&N Field and Target, Beeman Kodiak Match Extra Heavy, Beeman Crow Magnum, and if you want to go a little bit lighter then Beeman Silver Bear. I've also heard of guys having good luck with Crosman Premier Hollow Points but I haven't tried them. Don't be concerned with velocity, be more concerned with accuracy.
foresterscott01 3 years ago
yea rite now im using a crossman premeire hollow points. theyre relly good and i reccomend them to anybody. thats all im using now cuz thats wat seemed to do the best accuracy wise. so thanks for ur recomendations. ill chek them out.
bamf64 3 years ago
how much does this gun cost? maybe you can give me some advice. i want to buy an ineexpensive air rifle for 60 bucks or lesss. what should i get?
themetalman92 3 years ago
Last I checked about $220. With a decent scope about $320. You aren't going to find anything for $60 that isn't a POS. Save your money and get something that you can actually use for awhile. That being said, the best you can do for $60-$70 is probably the Crosman 2100b pump rifle. Gets about 750 fps. In the same category is the Daisy 880, but I would prefer the Crosman. I've owned both of these when I was a kid.
foresterscott01 3 years ago
@foresterscott01 have to say great shooting for a start and its about seeing how it sounds not what your target is !!!!! have you done anything with it, like a turbo or super tune changed the stock scope too something i cant afford???? its a great shot either way well done thanks for posting and keeping it real are you happy with the rifle in general thinking of buying one ....

crosman phantom 1000x .117 pellet max velocity 1000fps 3x-9x bsa scope will i be able to do that??? dont worry about my ability to shoot i just need to know if my gun can do the job! anyone?
AmRFuKYaH 3 years ago
The pellets that I use are traveling about 860 fps out of a rifle that will shoot raptors at 1200. You could certainly attain similar ballistics from a Crosman Phantom. Stick with heavy pellets for the best accuracy. Also, lose the BSA scope and pick up something of quality. I'm using a CenterPoint 3-9x here.
foresterscott01 3 years ago
just for now ill try the bsa but im going to order a centerpoint online as soon as i get a chance!
AmRFuKYaH 3 years ago
Airgundepot has some good airgun specific scopes. Buy the best one you can afford. Do not use a regular firearms scope on a spring piston airgun; it will be damaged. The problem with the BSAs is that most will not hold a zero properly. I had one come free with the Whisper but I never used it. The Centerpoint I bought came with a one piece base and dual illuminated mil-dot reticle (which is a necessity for shooting at long ranges). It was around $100.
