Hey Burnone, i got a Beeman,Sportsman RS2,about 3 months ago.It came with a 177cal. and a 22 cal .barrel.I only use the 177 cal.
Its an accurate and hard hitting pellet gun.It beats the hell out of them old Red Ryder BB guns.

i think mine is a crossman 1077 -.177 cal 15 shot(clip) air rifle, can break a bottle at 100 feet with the hollow pellets.

Burn1 I have a Gamo Viper. It is a barrel cock, 1200FPS..surprisingly fast but not accurate. I group at 4+ inches at 30 yards. I've changed my scope twice and just can not get it any better. It should be better? I'm shooting from a bag with a good rest. Anyway I knock off varmits at 40+ yards, which surprised me, when they stand around long enough for me to see the dust of my previous shot and get zero'd in...DD

doobieduck-
Your pellets are going supersonic and aren't made to do that like a firearm bullet is. When it goes through the sound barrier, it moves around from the shock wave. When it slows down and goes back through it, it moves again. Airgun manufacturers sell velocity. And customers flock to it. But it's useless in airguns.
Also, is your scope airgun rated? Forearm scopes can't stand up to the forward recoil from airgun pistons.
You may find a tune kit from James Maccari that will smooth that gun out to a great shooter. You should be able to find lots of information on the Gamo forum and the GTA Gamo forum. Here are a couple of links that may help you...

i have an Norica Marvic gold 5,5 mm that shots 250 m pr second
pretty powerfull to kill even larger birds at a fair distance
doesnt have much time to shot with it these days though
i have an 4x32 scope for it



co2 guns need a weapon permit here as i understand it but i was thinking of getting a Shinsun air riffle with compressed air
they are as powerful as a pistol but still legal although they talk about banning it here
it is an awesome weapon for plinking and also personal protection from theifs trying to get to your stash



they even make a model called dragon slayer in 0.50 cal 12,7 mm but its bigbore caliber not legal here
i think 6,36 mm is the max here
but even that model has a muzzle speed that exceeds 300 m pr second
its fed with compressed air from a scuba diver tank at 250 bar
it holds around 6-9 shots in the clip depending on what caliber and the compressed airtank holds air for apr 10 shots at max velocity, after that the speed decreases
well hopefully after harvest i can afford one if the government here hasnt banned it by then

ive been a really passionated collector and shooter in the past but after being to jail some years back ive had to settle with airguns
shooting 22 cal and 6,5 mm at riffle ranges but i lost my gun permits after been jailed and had to sell all my riffles :(

BurnOne is absolutely correct
if a pellet breaks the sound barrier it will wobble to much and get inaccurate
i dont know if your model is 4,5 og 5,5 mm to try and get some of those really heavy pellets
they cost more but they might reduce speed to below the barrier of sound and be more accurate
also they will pack a better punch due to the weight
Handler and natermann makes some heavy diabolos but ive seen some really heavy ones in shape similar to a pistol bullet with even more weight

this dealer is in the US and its too expensive to have them shippe but some of the pellets might be found in Europe also
