Sarcasm wouldn't be any fun if there weren't some serious folks to take it hook line and sinker.
Seriously. That Cometa 400 is a nice rifle. I should have one forthwith in .177 cal. I intend to put a stack of colored spacers behind the buttplate as soon as I take it out of the box.

Hey @Flying B ! How do you like that rifle?
I've been wanting to shoot a .177 and decided on the Cometa. I'm a spring guy and have never shot a gas ram. I'm torn between the two. I'd like your feedback on the gas ram rifles.
I shoot at altitude. I'm wondering if the ram wouldn't be better than a spring up here....

I really like the rifle. I have just shot 300 pellets through it and I did have to tighten the barrel pivot bolt twice but I used loctite the 2nd time and it is still tight. The trigger is very nice and has a solid wall between first and second stage. The rifle is very accurate. The short barrel makes it pretty hefty cocking but manageable. I definitely recommend the Cometa 400

Ha ha ha! Don't know if that could happen, but that white stripe looks pretty dressy on the butt of the stock though!I was thinking back when I was a teenager and how putting a racing stripe would make your car faster so...
I added a white spacer between the butt pad and stock and I'll be darned I think the Cometa shoots faster and is more accurate .
Can this be possible?

Thanks for the review!
I wanted to try something different for a while. A .22 springer shoots slow here because of altitude. I wanted a .177 to shoot a little flatter.
Then the gas ram question came up. It seems it would have even more power at altitude. So I'm thinking the gas ram in .177 would be a bunch flatter than what I'm shooting now.
If I put a white stripe on it and some chrome rims I might get 1200 fps out of it.

Don't forget a spoiler...not only will it add a bit more speed, but it will help with any wind drift effecting the pellets you shoot!
Oh and a large overkill exhaust, slapping a .45 cal moderator on a .177 will boost not just the muzzle noise, but...the power !!

That rifle already looks like go fast" that is nice"i bet ifen ya changed stocks it would slow it down?

So, all this time all I've had to do is add a spacer to my butt plate and presto!
Now I'm thinkin if red is the "fast" color, and you were to go thicker on the spacer, what would you gain then? and what if you add two or three colors together?
Maybe contact the rifle manufacturer and see if it will void the warranty. The only thing I see holding this MOD back, is what about color blind folks?

Red may be too fast. There is probably no way to keep them sub-12 FPE. It would be best if you had an FAC for any red spacer guns in the UK.Red is much faster:

All joking aside (nice job everybody!) that is a good looking airgun, and the white spacer is a classy nod to the old days.

That is exactly why I chose a red spacer over white or black. Ask anyone with a red sports car, the cops are certainly convinced of it. Red goes faster, can it even be questioned!

Does the same principle apply to PCPs? Starting the day off with humor has it's benefits, thanks.

On a PCP you have to use those stickers that come with all the aftermarket mods you bought. Plaster those all over your tank and stock. Then start putting them on the bumper of your Prius. Your PCP will gain 300 fps and the Prius will go 500 miles between charging.
