People have been shooting around my house lately so I have decided that I'm not really worried about making noise anymore. So today I got a Gamo pellet gun. This is a spring driven .177cal model and it is advertised at 1250fps with the alloy pellets and at 1000fps with the lead pellets. It also is the single stroke,bbl break down model.
My application for this gun is shooting tree rats at a max distance of 35yds in my back yard so a fairly accurate gun is needed.
Questions: 1. Will the advertised vels be pretty accurate ??
2. I have read that these type of guns will get more accurate after a couple hundred pellets have been fired. Is this true ??
3. Do these guns favor one pellet,either in weight or design,over another pellet ??
4. The owners manual stated that you should NEVER use oil in the bbl. Is this true and ...... WHY ?? I did push a dry patch thru it and it was pretty dirty. Is there anything else that I can use for a cleaner and a rust inhibitor ?? (I do not think the bbl is stainless.)
This is a cheap gun,not even close to the ones above. However if I can keep the tree rats somewhat under control,that is basically all I am looking for here. Any info will be much appreciated. --- SAWMAN
