I was not prepared for what objects look like using a 46X scope. Before installing it I held it up to view outside my house and all I could see was black. Then after some trial and error I was surprised to see a keyhole the size of a frisbee. I was lost viewing the side of my neighbor's black...

My first submission. My best card so far, but I hope to do better. I'm especially happy with these results shooting a modest Gamo Urban .22. Full disclosure, ThomasT sold me a very nice benchrest scope that helps.

How do we see the leaderboard? Is there a link, or is it just updated throughout the threads, or maybe upon request? I'm trying to figure out when I make it on.

I'd appreciate suggestions on what scope power and reticle pattern would be best to see the small bullseye on the 30-yard challenge sheet from the OP. The upper end for my budget would be this Athlon BTR Gen 2 10X40X56 with the fine floating dot reticle as seen in the screenshot. $450 I'd be...

Can the GRT trigger be installed without disassembling the whole trigger housing on a Gamo Urban? It's a CAT trigger.

Yep. Subdivision. 1/3 acre. Neighbors on all sides. I shoot toward my house foundation because I can defend the safety of that path. Eventually someone will see something and say something, and I'll find myself explaining my range safety to a law enforcement officer. That limits me to 50 feet. I...

I bought this $70 Four Uncles pump which I recommend. There are online videos how to disassemble and repair or rebuild as needed. It have an extension hose on my pump, so it takes 20 easy pumps to fill the air hose before I hear the telltale squeak letting me know air is going into the rifle...

I modified it before taking the first shot using information from this forum. Check out this thread which includes all of the links to the videos I used. I disassembled, reduced the power (less noise and more shots per fill), cleaned the barrel, removed the barrel band, lubed o rings, checked...

I bought the Urban after watching the Airgun Detective review which featured accuracy and relatively quiet sound. Dog walkers pass by my fence as I'm shooting and they don't even look my way. My next door neighbor commented how quiet it was today. If you're looking for a quiet PCP I highly...

My Urban is settling in nicely. Here's my best backyard target at 15 yards. Benchrest with rear bag. $20 Gamo scope. JSB 15.89 pellets. The top row 3rd from left is 5 shots with a .0625 (1/16) spread. My goal at 15 yards is to get 25 10X shots. This one was only 13 10X. I'll post results...

Mike, are you happy with the accuracy of this model scale? The reviews are all over the place because everybody has a different level of need for their applications. Does it work consistently for pellet weighing? The AGA video shows the same scale. Do you weigh in grains or grams to sort?

I just want to say thanks to the thread contributors, as I've learned a lot about sorting. This is the AGA video that got me thinking about the process.

People with a wide range of accuracy demands view threads like this, so perspective is important. For those who want competition level precision, shooting a reshaped pellet skirt might not be an option--so the trash can comment might apply. But for those who are ok with 1/4 inch groups at 25...

Don't discard your bent skirt pellets. Reshape them. This picture shows my preferred method, using small vise grip pliers to hold a pellet. Gently pushing and twisting makes most pellets perfectly round. There are many threads on the topic, most finding through actual shooting a slight increase...

I read a lot of posts about fabricated tools to reshape pellet skirts. This is what's working for me. I squeeze a pellet in small vise grip pliers which creates a nice handle and the right size for shaping. Gentle pressure and a few rotations is all it takes. I prepped a tin of 250 in 30...

Hey 270windude, Can you post any links to videos on how to polish the Gamo CAT trigger sear? I've removed the trigger assembly before, but didn't disassemble it. I've polished sears on rimfire rifles, so I get the concept. I just need a guide to take the trigger assembly apart and then put it...

A few more observations as I learn more about PCP air guns and the Gamo Urban specifically. 1. It took 200 pumps (four brother's handpump) to go from zero to 3000 psi. Then 25 shots drops my pressure to1500 PSI, and another 100 pumps to get me back to 3000 psi. It's not bad for now, but I'll...

Here's my first 10 shots after zeroing at 20 yards with my new Gamo Urban. The first five shots were grouped next to the dime for a .312 inch spread. Then one shot in each circle from left to right. Ran out of daylight, so will need to finish a whole target another day. Thanks to those who...

Here's my first 10 shots after zeroing at 20 yards with my new Gamo Urban. I picked good pellet skirts for these shots. The first five shots were grouped next to the dime for a .312 inch spread. Then one shot in each circle from left to right. Ran out of daylight, so will need to finish a...

As I re-read the replies from sqwirlfugger57 and bigHun I'm inferring that I'll get ok accuracy by just shooting the pellets as is. But both of you confirm that you find more consistent precision by selecting pellets: either choosing unbent skirts and/ or head size. So if I'm content with my...
