The air rifle, a product from Gamo, is a .177 caliber break-barrel model known for its velocity and affordability. It is often chosen as an entry-level option for those new to air gun shooting or pest control, offering a balance between power and ease of use. Its spring-piston mechanism requires manual cocking before each shot.
This particular model gained popularity due to its relatively high muzzle velocity for its price point, making it suitable for target practice and small game hunting where legal. Its robust construction and readily available replacement parts contribute to its longevity. Historically, this air rifle represents a shift towards more accessible and powerful airguns for recreational use.
