Customers like the quality of the air rifle. They say it's a terrific gun, impressed with the quality, and that the quality is dead on for the price. The bundled scope is solid, has good eye relief, and the Gamo Rocket pellets are great. The Silent Cat is a semi-heavy, robust air rifle that packs a great punch.

76 customers mention76 positive0 negative

Customers find the rifle to be a lot of fun to shoot. They say it'll bring hours of fun with a bit of practice. Customers also say it is a great way to spend time and is able to be easily assembled. They also mention that the supersonic ammo is fun because of the sound of the sonic crack.

417 customers mention186 positive231 negative

Customers are mixed about the silence of the sporting goods. Some mention that it's very quiet if you shoot lead pellets, while others say that it is not as quiet as they had hoped. The noise is an old-fashioned air pop instead of a spring twang when fired.

"...It is powerful, highly accurate and very fun to shoot. It is also not silent, but still not too loud." Read more

"...Cat" looks VERY cool, the pellets/ammo is very inexpensive, its very quiet if you shoot lead pellets because the lead pellets shoots at around 1,000..." Read more

"...Pros: Very quiet with lead pellets, probably the best fiber-optic sights ever placed on a gun, very accurate, very comfortable, more than enough..." Read more

60 customers mention11 positive49 negative

Customers have a hard time adjusting the scope. They mention that it will not stay adjusted, the 2 stage trigger is a joke, and the instructions are good. The scope is also difficult to site in and the windage and elevation adjustments vary HUGELY from click to click. Customers also say that the scope loses its setting from time to time and the bottom on the scope rings did not sit flat as they came from the factory.

"...Fury: Even though it's a piston and not a springer it still is hold sensitive...." Read more

"...It also takes some time to learn to shoot accurately because of the double recoil...." Read more

"...in the trash... the scope won't hold zero due to recoil and the rings never stay put even with threadlock and proper inch pounds of torque...." Read more

"...However, it makes tight grouping impossible. Do yourself a favor, and buy a GRT-4G trigger right after you order this gun...." Read more

I just got a Crosman Fury: Even though it's a piston and not a springer it still is hold sensitive. Making sure to put my fingers on the stock exactly the same each shot I'm better with the Fury the first day than with my Gamo Silent Cat after 3 months!I still love my Silent Cat, but the Fury is: heavy metal and well built; 4x scope not 3x; no iron sights but no iron sights to interfere with the view through the scope; the barrel is smaller so most pellets have to be pushed in not just dropped in loosely; tap to break barrel open and a bit harder to cock; nicer trigger; the noise is an old fashioned air pop instead of a spring twang so it's louder than the Cat but way, way easier to bullseye over and over with any pellet I choose, even cheap Destroyers! All for half the price of the Gamo! I love both, but the Gamo is for silent 4am de-raccooning of my roof, while the Fury is for bullseyes on paper indoors.PELLET TEST UPDATE: 30’ (measured with a tape measure and no rest). I tried:Benjamin Hunting Hollow Points (750 tin of domed hollow point)Beeman Silver Arrow (pointed, huge 11.5g)Crosman Premier Hollow PointsGamo Bone Collector (domed hollow point)Crosman Premier Super Match (flat top wadcutter)Diablo Basic (green tin of flat top wadcutter)Crosman Wadcutter Premium Grade (tin of 250, premium not premier)Gamo Red Fire (red polymer plastic spiked tip)Crosman DestroyerCrosman Destroyer EXGamo Tomahawk30 year old flat top (Crosman or Daisy) wadcutters I found in a drawerPLUS: a bunch of other pointed and evil looking hunting pellets I had laying around.FIRST THE BAD: Gamo Tomahawk, Destroyer, Destroyer EX were all pretty horrible. The Destroyer EX were slightly better than the regular Destroyer, but just barely. There were a bunch of pointed pellets I had that were also horrible. The only pointed pellet that did okay were the crazy Gamo Red Flame pellets with the red plastic tip. They were pretty darn good actually! They fit REALLY tight into the barrel, which I think is a good thing.THE BETTER: The only pellet I had that did (a smidge better) than the Gamo Red Flame were the Crosman Premier Hollow Points. These are domed hunting pellets with a hollowed out point. I still wasn’t pleased, and I actually found a handful of 30 YEAR OLD Crosman (or Daisy) flat top wadcutters which were AWESOME (in comparison). So I ordered a bunch of flat top wadcutters to test up against the Crosman Premier Hollow Points.THE BEST SO FAR: Here is where it gets weird. After testing 7 different pellets with two different holding styles (more or less artillery hold) I have a clear winner, a clear second place that is not really for accuracy and a few different pellets that either win 3rd place or don’t depending on how I hold this rifle.WINNER: The Benjamin hunting hollow points (in the 750 pellet tin) was by FAR the best pellet. Twice in a row I shot 5 pellets and ALL 5 PELLET HOLES IN THE PAPER TARGET TOUCHED! This is a domed hunting pellet with a hollow point. You can’t argue with 5 holes all touching on the paper target with no rest at 30 feet using two different rifle holding techniques and no rest either time.SECOND PLACE: this is a weird one. The Beeman Silver Arrow 11.5g pellets are HUGE, long pellets that are really heavy. Each single shot of these looks like two holes touching because either the pellets go sideways or are tearing the paper (they’re pointed for killing and NOT flat wadcutters for cutting clean circular wads of paper out of paper targets). I shot them into some wood and they are NOT going sideways. They’re just beasts that shred the paper. If you’re going to kill a raccoon or something I’d use these: they’re accurate and devastating. The tears in the paper make it hard to tell what exactly is going on: shredded bullseye after two shots. LOL. I think the points of impact may be wider than some of the third place winners, but only slightly. In an animal you WANT this type of tearing for an instant kill. For paper targets it’s just a mess. Two shots and it looks like the target got hit by a shotgun. Neat, but hard to tell precision-wise what is going on exactly.THIRD PLACE: Crosman Premier Super Match (flat top wadcutters) won with the most touching holes both times with different holds.POSSIBLE THIRD/FOURTH PLACE DEPENDING ON HOLD OF RIFLE: Crosman Premier Hollow Points either came in third or worst depending on hold. Gamo Bone Collector and Diablo Basic (green tin wadcutters) either came in fourth or last depending on hold. Depending on how YOU hold your Whisper Cat you may do better with a Bone Collector or Diablo Basic than MY third place Crosman Premier Super Match. In fact three large raccoons were dispatched at 4am using this rifle and Gamo Bone Collectors (after owning this rifle for less than 2 days and not having shot pellet/bbs in the past 20 years or so). ANOTHER aside about the Bone Collector: unlike the photo somebody posted showing a merely bent penny, I actually SHATTERED A PENNY INTO TWO PIECES with a Gamo Bone Collector Pellet at 30 feet.Stay away from my “First the Bad” list and anything that is pointed (except for Red Flame which were pretty awesome and left nice wadcutter type circular holes in paper). I’d Concentrate on trying:Benjamin hunting hollow points (in the 750 pellet tin)Crosman Premier Super Match (flat top wadcutters)Gamo Bone CollectorDiablo Basic (in the green tin can)If you need to kill something large, go for the Beeman Silver Arrows, they just make a SHREDDED MESS of the paper targets, so it’s not as much fun for precision. If a wild boar or grizzly broke into my house and I could only shoot it once with a pellet it would TOTALLY be the Beeman Silver Arrows. I think I’d end up using the rifle as a club quickly afterwards, but at least the first shot would be the worst for the beast. LOL.WHAT’S NEXT: Well, I planned on buying a bunch more flat top wadcutters to test against what I ASSUMED would be the winners of the testing when I opened up all these tins of pellets today. Now, I’m not so sure. I still want to try a bunch of fancier wadcutters (the ones made in Germany) but I’m thinking I should be testing more domed and domed hollow points.I lined up the pellet tins in a row and started at one end used each one. Then I changed my hold and started at the other end and went backwards. I fired 5 pellets each. On a few if I had an obvious flyer that was either weird or totally just my fault I’d take a 6th shot. I did this all very quickly, and I did NOT adjust the scope or where I was firing. I just aimed at the bullseye center and shot 5. It was the grouping (closeness) of the holes in the paper that I cared about, not if I was high or low or left or right. With all of that any and every time I used the Benjamin HP (750 per tin) ALL THE HOLES IN THE TARGET TOUCHED!The BEEMAN Silver ARROW 11.5g pellets aways shredded the target with touching shredded ragged holes after two or three shots making it difficult to tell where the last two or three shots went (but they went through the original shredded shots).ALL FIVE of the Benjamin HP (750 per tin) holes on the target touched and could fit within two of the Silver Arrow holes. The Crosman Premier Super Match and Premier Hollow Points *may* mostly fit into an almost as small area, but both that 1 or 2 flyers outside the main group every time. Even when I took 6 shots they spread out a little more on the paper.Still love this rifle!There are 3 less raccoons in my neighborhood. Domed Gamo Bone Collector pellets are accurate and can punch almost all the way through a 2x4. My shoulder muscle has gotten used to cocking it so no ringing arm/hand syndrome. It doesnt smoke anymore and I'm STILL USING THE ORIGINAL SCOPE WHICH IS DEADLY ACCURATE x 3.EDIT: found higher scope mount rings.Millett See-thru weaver-style 1" .22 smooth SE00014. Let's me use iron sights and scope on my Gamo Silent Cat. I have to take the scope covers off so they don't block the iron sights.The iron sights are also set to almost their lowest setting. I could easily get more clearance if I added shims under the scope tube before I dropped it onto the bottom of the rings (Before clamping the tops on).To keep the scope from sliding backwards after each shot I just jammed a brass screw into the scope stop hole (see my photos). It still worked after about 100 shots: iron sights work close, scope works and doesn't creep and 95% of the obstruction from the silencer and iron sights is gone!The ultra light weight pellets that come with this rifle go so fast they break the sound barrier and crack like a real rifle.I've ordered some super heavy 11.5 pellets. Update: shot number two was with Beeman Silver Arrow 11.57g pellets and it was so quiet all you could hear was the spring twang.The iron sights show in the scope a little and the scope is too low to allow you to use the iron sights with it on. There are probably higher mount rings available that would raise the scope. My old ten pump daisy is set up that way now.PYRAMYD AIR shipped it and it arrived THE SAME DAY!!!!! I live close by in Michigan though.Buy heavier ammo for quieter and more accurate shooting.After the two shots outside I took it in my basement and marked off 30 feet with a tape measure. In the sitting position the scope was to the right, I adjusted and 2nd and 3rd shots were closer. The 2nd shot had a lot of smoke come out (friction of spring ignites extra lube in the compression chamber and it made a lot of smoke--I was kind of freaked out). 3rd shot smoked only a little. 4th shot (after adjusting scope again) was dead center and no smoke. I STOOD UP and freehand shot the rifle and the 5th shot actually went through the hole of the 4th shot.I called it a GREAT NIGHT and went to bed (happy).I'm ordering a bi-pod off Amazon cheap (just for kicks) and am searching for the ever elusive 11mm dovetail extra high scope mount rings with the SEE-THRU holes that will (hopefully) let me use the scope and the sights at the same time.YES: the scope gets in the way of the sights. Normally I wouldn't care but the sights have cool fiber optic thingies that seem fun. I might just buy a regular set of extra tall mounts and drill a big hole in each one on my drill press.Oh the RECOIL! I shot actual firearms (real guns with real bullets): Ar-15, Ruger 10/22, Savage 22, Glock 19, S&W .357. All of those guns except for the .357 have no recoil--only muzzle rise. The .357 stings my hand.....THIS GAMO stings my hands just a little and my face. These springers have forward and backward recoil like slapping your hand on a table top real hard: ringing. LOL! I read about that but I didn't believe it.About the smoke coming out: 9 out of 10 people on message boards say it's normal, their rifles still smoke after 2000 shots, you can't do anything about it because opening the gun kills the warranty,etc. Then there's always that 1 guy that says even once smoking (or dieseling as they call it) means the gun is destroyed. Well: shots 2 and 3 smoked. 4 didn't and 5th went through the same hole as 4th even though I moved from sitting to standing. I'm not (overly) worried.Oh, indoor shots 1-5 were Gamo bone collectors. I chose them because they're a good medium weight 7.xxg and thought they'd be easier during break-in/sighting indoors than those INSANE Platinum PBA they give you 50 of.***I fired two shots (a Platinum PBA & Beeman Silver Arrow 11.5g)outside plus the 5 indoors (7.xg Bone Collectors) and the smoke was almost all gone***My other pellet rifle is a 20 year old 10-pump Crossman with no recoil ;)Oh: unlike the Crossman 10-pumps you can ONLY use pellets in this Gamo (no BBs).We'll see if I can find elevated see-thru mount rings or the scope rattles to pieces first. I actually liked the scope, it's not as nice as my Nikon scope I (got free) and slapped on my old ten pump but its fine for now.Also just realized: I never ran a cleaning cloth thru the barrel before shooting. I was just so excited! Probably couldn't hurt to put a dry cloth through the barrel to get rid of any manufacturing gunk. Order and try lots of pellets and remember that a change in pellets (and thus weight) will mean you'll have to re-adjust the sights/scope.FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-mike from Detroit
