Wood stocks and springers have my attention these days.
Could not pass up this deal.
Can’t wait to get it

I agree on wood stocks and springers...and not passing up a good deal. I will be curious to see your Gamo experience once it arrives. Congrats on the new rifle!

Hopefully shoots as well as the Gamo Magnum I have.
I wanted the Bone Collector. But even on sale it’s 100.00 more than the Hunter.
They are for backyard plinking and pesting .

Got it yesterday. Mounted the scope, cleaned the barrel and check all screws.
Ready to sight in today when I get off work.
Pics to follow. The stock is Gorgeous!! Has some Burl showing in the butt area and the foregrip area.
So far I’m impressed. Especially for 149.00.

Shoots straight, easy to cock. Looks good, handles well. & not having to reload for each shot is awesome. Heck even the trigger is pretty good already. Before adjusting it.
I’m really liking it! And check out the stock!!

When GANO first came out with their Bone Collector Swarm model I purchased one on sale from P/A along with a spare magazine for $230.00 at the time, when it arrived I was actually shocked at the beauty of the wood stock, it was allot nicer than the pictures I'd seen on their website, the performance was acceptable, trigger wasn't great but a new trigger screw from Air Gun Detectives cured that for ten bucks.
I've had the rifle now for about six years, it and the magazines are still running great, while not a match target gun it certainly is minute of squirrel accurate as a small game hunting air rifle and a great fun shooter, and the ten shot magazine is a nice addition if you're a small game hunter, just load a couple of magazines and there's no need to worry about fumbling for pellets with cold fingers in the woods and twenty shots would likely be enough for most day hunts in the squirrel woods.
This new Hunter model and the Gen 2 Bone collector I believe have the improved larger air cylinder which is said to give a bit higher velocity and energy over the Gen 1 model which is what I have, but if your new Hunter model shoots as well as my Bone Collector I'm sure you'll be happy with it.
BTW, When I ordered my Bone Collector from P/A I also ordered a blister pack of four tins of GAMO pellets in various styles and weights for hunting, plinking, and target shooting, my GAMO rifle absolutely hated them, but did very well with Grosman Premiers and H&N Field Target Trophy's.

BABz58, that is one good looking stock considering what the price was I'd say very nice 
. I'm curious what groups you get at 25 yards

Still searching for its favorite pellets. But at 15 yards so far. It like JSBs and the Crosman domed pelletsBABz58, that is one good looking stock considering what the price was I'd say very nice

It must buck pretty good. It shifted the scope right off the rail after 30 shots.
What’s weird is that I don’t notice the kick like I do on my Magnum Springer. Maybe my hold is soft enough that the gun moves without me feeling it

This is a 10 shot group @ 15 yards The 1 low and left was the first shot. I rushed it. So I’ll take the blame for it.
Was trying different pellets and this is one it definitely likes.
