Things I would have changed:A better scope indeed, just bought a new center point 9x40 dual illuminated scope witch should do nicely when i get it. im not very much liking the gamo scope that comes with the gun..... also buy a scope stop since it does not come with one witch it should! because the recoil will push it back overtime witch is a drag....
What others should know:when you have a rifle+scope a "LaserLyte" laser bore sight will help you set up your rifle to perfecto! don't go wasting your ammo lining up your scope.
and as i said, buy a "scope stop" and a new scope!
happy shooting!

Things I would have changed:I would have rather bought this without the scope and saved 20 bucks, also it would be nice is it had open sights
What others should know: The trigger is bad, at first. But after putting over 900 pellets through it, it became much better. the scope is o.k.i guess, but i bought a better one and it made a world of difference when it came to my accuracy.
This is my first spring piston air gun and i love it. I took me a while to get used to it and learn how to grip it the right way (and trust me the way you handle it does make a difference). Once i got it right i was getting hole-in-hole shots at 10 yards and dime sized groups at 30 yards. All and all its just a great gun.
On to ammo. My Bigcat loves beeman crow-magnums. I tried the crosman premier hollowpoints and found that most of them still had flash on them, and they were very dusty. Some fit to snug, while others didn't fit snug enough. I didn't even try the pba ammo as it can be bad for a spring piston gun to shoot something that is too light.
In closing, to people having trouble learning how to shoot this gun, Pyramyd air has great tips in their blog. It helped me a lot.

Things I liked:Design of the rifle makes this gun handle well. feels like I am shooting a real rimfire rifle without all the noise. Trigger pull is good. I like the stock design with cheeck rest. Feels durable and tough for hunting. Accuracy on my gun is starting to come in after about one hundred shots. I just put five group shot in a .750 diameter circle. I am very pleased with my air rifle. for the price how can you go wrong with quality like this.
Things I would have changed:I think the one piece mount would be great for this rifle. I might put a larger scope on mine latter. so I can try some long shots. I am shooting 30 meters away right now and as stated above .750 group and the gun is not through the break in period .I know it can group way better.
What others should know:Be patient with the scope. Retighten the mount screws after the first 50 or so shots. These are new mounts and the recoil of the gun at first will cause the screws to loosen . once the gun starts to settle down, the screws will not have to be tightened as often. Remember this is a new Gun and these spingers are very powerful . So Its all part of the newness of the powerplant.

Things I would have changed:Not much, I am very pleased with my purchase.
What others should know:The scope is garbage but works. Not that I would change that. It is basically to keep the cost down and will do until you can get a better one. Don't let it steer you away form the gun. It is a great gun for beginners and seasoned air gunners. The gun is more accurate than I am at reasonable ranges. Break in takes a few tins so be patient. I would buy this gun again. I am not going to tell you it is better than guns costing many times over, but I will tell you that is is better than anything I have tried in this price range. You will not regret this purchase.

Things I would have changed:I would prefer to have the second stage of the trigger adjustable instead of the first. the adjustment only changes the amount of take-up travel before the sear engages, you cannot "lighten" the trigger pull, which if you could, I'm sure it would improve consistency/accuracy.

What others should know:BUY A BETTER SCOPE !!!!!. the first 4 tins of crosman h/p were every where, yealding no better than a 1-2 inch grouping at 30 yards bye the 6th tin it finnaly calmed down and i was able to shoot 1/2-3/4 at 25-30 yards, untill i tried the crosman destroyers, pellet on pellet at 25 yards with the occational flyer off about 1/2 inch
bottom line stock scope is junk, long break in period, accurate, and powerfull with the right pellet

Things I would have changed:Not really a complaint, but having the scope mounted and boresighted would be a plus. Maybe better instructions on cleaning regimen. Nothing major.
What others should know:When using lead pellets, (Daisy, Beeman, Crosman, etc,) outstanding for cheap trigger time. Also, it's just plain fun to shoot when using a rifle this accurate! Great value. PBA ammo is, in my opinion, not worth the money.

What others should know:If you are into fun plinking at long distances or small game hunting, this rifle will proudly finish any job. The scope stop helps a ton, but make sure to get a better one than the one that comes with it. I was nailing targets from 100+ yards away with this thing. This gun is one of the best pellet rifles available today and it is very dependable. Small game cannot stand up to this thing. Very very powerful. If you buy heavier lead ammo, you will deliver alot more power downrange and this rifle handles it fine.

Things I liked:2 stage trigger, the light weight, the accuracy when the scope is sighted righ is amazing, the power.
Things I would have changed:put on a better scope. needs a more toutchy trigger.
What others should know:this gun is awesome. make sure you lower the horizantal stopping pin into the hole or else the scope will move around and completely screw up your scope stop. my big cat loves the crossman premeir hollowpoints and the crossman hunter pellets. the pba pellets arent very accurate with it, it allways seems like they fly off somewhere. this is a great airgun for the price and i highly recommend it. also make sure you buy gamo pellet gun oil for it. oil all moving parts, before you use it, after you use it, and before you put it away for a while. its also nice to put a drop down the barrel before you use it. you should clean out the barrel every 600 or 750 shots, because the lead buildup inside the barrel dramaticly changes the accuracy. DO NOT dry fire this gun because the piston can slam too hard and mess it up. if you use cleaning pellets in it, make sure you put the cleaning pellet in first, and then a light pellet like the pba to avoid the piston from slamming too hard.
this is a very accurate gun, i can hit eggs at 70 yards with it, and i can kill bunnys, squirrels, crows, pigeons, doves, sparrows, and starlings at 50 yards. for a .177 airgun, thats pretty good

Things I would have changed:Smoothe out the plastic under the trigger guard. That thing cut me open after about 50 shots.
What others should know:I purchased the crosman phantom with the gray barrel and illuminated scope. And to tell you the truth, I was not as impressed with the performance of it like I am with the Big Cat. The crosman looks and feels awesome, but weights a ton, and is nowhere as powerful as the big cat.
One thing you might want to know is that it does make this little weird noise when you pump it, but its a small price to pay for high power.
It is exactly what all the people say "ITS A SLEEPER".
By the way, it is extremely deadly when you combine it with the Beeman Crow Magnums. I took out a raccoon at about 25 yards with one shot.
Great job GAMO.

Things I would have changed:Definitely change the scope and trigger. Not that there that bad, but if you really want to customize it, you will want to update these. The scope is very wishy-washy. A lot more accurate than people have been saying, but you'll want to spend the extra cash for a nicer one. Same with the trigger.
What others should know:My suggestion, get the bipod, new scope, and trigger. You don't have too as this thing is an amazing value for the money. I have to agree with what one of the reviewers said, I think this thing is a sleeper. EXTREMELY powerful! Very accurate if you know what you're doing. I put on a Leapers scope and am considering doing the Gas Spring Conversation for this, as this thing does have a kick to it. I'm just amazed for the price how incredible this thing is. I shot with a friend of mine who purchased the Gamo Whisper Deluxe, and all he wanted to do is shoot mine instead! He loved the weight of the Big Cat 1200. All-in-all, a great gun for the value, with one heck of a punch! You honestly won't believe it!

Things I liked:Well worth the $140! My first rifle was an old Gamo, but needed something with a little more accuracy for long distance shooting. So i got another GAMO. Great quality/accuracy. This thing shoots as fast as sound travels.
Things I would have changed:I suggest you change your underwear after shooting this gun for the first time.The recoil is nice at first.
What others should know:The scope was a bit tough to put on, but i managed. When I did eventually get it to stay, I had some adjusting to do. There's a little black screw on the rear scope mount which helps alot. Therefore no replacement scope is needed unless you have the vision of a bat.

Things I liked:Accurate with scope set up correctly. Shoots many types of ammo well. Best ammo I found for it is the Crosman hollow point lead free 250/can. It shoots this stuff loud, fast and accurate, but costs $10/can. Worth it - doesnt foul the barrel. Nice durable, comfortable stock. Easy to cock and fire. I have trigger set to lightest

It shoots this stuff loud, fast and accurate, but costs $10/can. Worth it - doesnt foul the barrel. Nice durable, comfortable stock. Easy to cock and fire. I have trigger set to lightest and it is a decent two-stage trigger.
Things I would have changed:Not much for the money. Maybe I would ask Gamo to go back to including the better scope with this rifle.
What others should know:I got this one at Walmart for $150. I kept it at that price because mine came with a Gamo 3-9 x 40 scope, which is real nice unlike the scope that is now shipping with this gun according to reviews and advertisements for this rifle elsewhere. I still found it necessary to buy a TruGlo 3-9 x 50 which has lighted crosshairs. Nothing that moves is safe in my yard...

Things I liked:Lightweight, powerful
Things I would have changed:Scope. The scope that comes with it is a piece of junk. I saw that the gun was made in Spain and after about 25 shots and couldn't even hit an 8 x 11'' target, I saw that the scope was a China product and understood then. I took the good scope off of my 22 and mounted

I took the good scope off of my 22 and mounted it on the Gamo. 3 shots later, I was zeroed in to a quarter sized bullseye at 30 yds.
What others should know:Change the scope!

Things I liked:the weight at under six pounds is amazing. Ibt makes it a great hunting rifle. the synthetic stock makes for low maitnence and the POWER! this may sound dumb, but i shot a gamo super point straight through a boot at ten yards. i used the boot to sight in my new scope for close range. the accuracy is amazing also.

What others should know:I bought a UTG .22 5/8 rail converter and bought new1" mounts for a NEW SCOPE. my scope, when i went to sight it in, shortly after taking it out of the box, the shot was under the cross hairs and I coulnd't go any lower on the scope. My solution was puting a few layers of friction tape on the bottom. Now This Scope Gun combo is great. I still have to adjust the scope after about every 50-100 shots. Also oiling and cleaning it greatly improve the accuracy and power. I try to do this every week.

Things I would have changed: Scope and mounts for this combo are good so far but the rifle needs to have more secure grip on it to attach the scope to it. I got it on the gun but I would prefer a better connection with my scope mounts and my gun.
What others should know: On time delivery and no hassle buying from this site at all.

Things I liked:Power for the price is good. Good weight (pretty light). Pretty good accuracy. I have only seen a few .177 rifles with better accuracy. A good first gun for older responsible kids and up. Great with different types of ammo. Do Not recommend Gamo Rocket ammo. Rocket ammo has a seam along the skirt that throws off accuracy

A good first gun for older responsible kids and up. Great with different types of ammo. Do Not recommend Gamo Rocket ammo. Rocket ammo has a seam along the skirt that throws off accuracy.
Things I would have changed:Gun is a little loud when firing. Some king of dampener or silencer would be good. Little more power would be cool, but would probably raise pice. Not much to change.
What others should know:SCOPE IS FINE. Inside the rear ring is a pin that you can lower into the rail of the gun to PREVENT SCOPE CREEP!!! I see this is the major problem people seem to have with this gun. The pin uses the small hex wrench that is included with the gun. Only reason to get a different scope is if you want the better optics (which of course everybody would love). But as a beginner scope it isn't bad. So use that pin and don't spend money on a scope stop, new scope mount, or new scope!!!
Happy shooting!

VERY ACCURATE!!! i may be young but i know accuracy. i can hit metal targets with a scopless WWII russian rifle at 150 yds. The only thing i regret is that i looked at diffrent models for a few days before i saw this one. if i saw this one first i would have had it a few weeks ago. DONT HESITATE WHEN BUYING THIS GUN.
Things I would have changed:There is only one problem with the gun. that is the mount for the scope rail. there isnt much holding that scope on

What others should know:The Gamo Rapture ammo is pretty expensive. Cheaper to fire a 22. I see that folks are hunting rabbits other small game. I find the Raptor pellets bouncing off squirrels at 15 yards. So I would like to know what they are using to kill rabbits. The gun is great for target practice, I find it very accurate. I gave it an over all 4 because of the scope...the gun itself is a 5.

Most accurate gun ive seen.. My scope came sighted in :)
Pellets fly faster than speed of sound.. making the pellet hit the animal before the sound of the gun itself.. makes it easier to kill jumpy varmints like rabbits..
Well.. It also performs well at shooting targets..
this gun will shoot right through a can w/ out moving it...
It can also shoot through 4 cans w/out moving a single one.
I was also able to shoot caps off of waterbottles cleanly.
Also.. when you shoot glass bottles, they dont shatter.. a fat whole is made with the bottle intact..
:) Much fun...
Gold pba makes gun much louder... and funner to use..
Great Buy :)
Things I would have changed:Nothing..
What others should know:Gun is so powerful.. it has recoil.. but it doesnt effect the shot :)

Things I liked:I bought this for older kids at the last minute at Xmas when my order for the Benjamin Super Streak was backordered. I am still waiting for the Super Streak (we have Benjamin Blue and Silver streaks for years) but the Big Cat was a nice surprise. VERY loud for the first few shots, which was actually kinda cool. Then it calmed down. Came fairly well sighted in, and later adjusted nicely. Bought some Beeman Trophy and Silver Ace Pellets at my local store, and was very happy with the accuracy. Crow Magnums, great spread on impact. Tried some steel pointed pellets and went through medium thin plywood!
Things I would have changed:For the price and enjoyment, not much.
What others should know:Try lots of pellets and have fun...It's surprising just how different it shoots with a varied diet....

What others should know:This is a really fun airgun for the $$ Powerfull enough for sq. crows & rabbits all day long at reasonable ranges,, Setting up scopes is a little tricky at best,, Let Pyramids Experts do it for you!! Then when you get your rifle, just shoot & fine tune!! This gun IS FFUUNN!!
