2lz , there was a model there for $225 or even more , I forget, knew I didn't want it for that much, but it was a Gamo and it said 1300fps. I figured this model was plenty for my needs and budget.
I think this is the one that you are calling the ssw http://www.walmart.com/ip/Gamo-Silen...Rifle/17420181
But damm, I didn't think it was $279 ! |
That's the one! I got mine on a smokin' sale for around 200, new (not refurb). I really like the nitro piston. You can leave it cocked indefinitely (though I don't) and there's no mega-TWANG from a spring. The Bone Collector is the same guts with a different stock setup.
For gopherin' now, I picked up this Benjamin pistol. It's a .177, is amazingly accurate when set up correctly and will shred the head clean off a surfacing rodent. I was amazed at it's power. It's a nitro piston also. We've had such a problem with gophers it's nuts. They've destroyed almost everything Mrs. 2LZ has planted, have destroyed what little lawn we had in the small fenced yard, and have even undermined my deck pier blocks. We've smoked them, poisoned them, flooded them. Nothing works but a pellet in the pumpkin.

You'll find all modern trigger basically suck because they're designed to. They have a long pull (either primary or secondary) and a hard release for "safety" so they don't accidently go off. There are work-arounds for this.
