Hunting Fun

Back in 1959 the Gamo company was established and by 1961 they manufactured their first air rifle. Based in Spain, Gamo has become the largest European manufacturer in the air rifle industry. Today they have several options available including; rifles, pistols, optics, and ammunition on their product line. Each one of these are high powered and considered to be high end products. Most importantly, those who are trained properly can have the closest thing to a real gun as possible without all the negative side effects. It doesn’t matter if you’re using them for target practice or just for fun; Gamo continues to develop elite air rifles.

Another benefit to Gamo Air Rifles is the ammunition. All the ammo they sell works for their air guns and rifles. Some of their products include; Extreme CO2, Whisper, CSI Camo, Viper, Viper Express, Shadow, Big Cat, Hunter, CFX, and Delta Fox. They also have the P-23 combat, PT-80 laser, V-3 Chrome and many other pistols available.

The overall value is well worth it considering they offer better prices on most of their rifles out there today. Once you add in the features, quality, and cost you have yourself the perfect choice. Need a scope? Gamo can provide these as well along with various adjustment options and trigger adjustment options. These benefits allow you to set your rifle to your own specific resistance and sight requirements. Unfortunately some of the less expensive options for target practice won’t have this feature. In the end it’s about as close to a real rifle as you can get from an air powered one.

However, there are a couple of drawbacks revolving around the trigger and scope. Even though the trigger can be adjusted with a ***** it might have more resistance than you really wanted. This all depends on the type of guns and air rifles you’ve utilized in the past. The only problem some individuals have with the scope is it can be difficult to use and adjust. Overall though, most of the people who purchase Gamo Rifles are completely satisfied.

Every once in awhile you will read a review with someone complaining about the rifle’s noise. The truth is there is a little “pop” or “crack” here and there, but not nearly as loud as a typical gun. If you’re new to the gun world chances are you won’t be used to the noise in the beginning.

While all this sounds great it’s still important to remember the Gamo Air Rifles can be harmful. Sure it might not have bullets or require a permit, but at close range it can still be deadly or severely wound someone. These are not toys and even if you just plan to use them for target practice you should have some training beforehand. If you follow all the gun procedures present you will cut down the risk of injury. Things like pointing the gun at anyone and keeping the safety on with others around is not a smart thing to do. Just be safe and make sure the air rifle is never loaded when being stored. If you do the little things it can make a world of difference.

For most hunters their pre-season is focused around obtaining their chief piece of hunting equipment; a deer hunting rifle. Once this selection is made, then having the best hunting ammo available to fill the chamber is the next order of business. To help with the selection of the best ammunition for your new rifle, shotgun or muzzleloader; I have listed what I consider to be the best hunting ammo available in the following categories; centerfire ammo, slug ammo and muzzleloader ammo.

Centerfire Ammunition

• Federal Premium Vital Shok- Federal’s “Trophy Bonded Tip” possess a solid copper shank and exterior skiving on the bullet which facilitates the best possible expansion at any range. This bullet supplies bone crushing energy to the target every time. Federal Premium has expanded this line to include a 140-grain 7mm Rem. Magnum, 140-grain 7mm WSM and a 160-grain 7mm STW.
• Hornady Superformance- With many changes in the propellants used in their loads, Horandy prides itself on having higher velocity than its competitors. Hornady uses normal charge weights with other specialized powders to achieve these results. Superformance can be found in.243 Win., 6mmRem.,.257 Roberts, 25-06 Rem., 6.5 Creedmoor and.270 Rem.
• Winchester SuperX PowerMax- Winchester has perfected the protected hollow-point (PHP) jacketed bullet. The PowerMax is available in.243,.30-06,.300Win. Mag.,.300 WSM (my personal favorite), 7mm Rem. Mag and 7mm WSM.

Slug Ammunition

• Federal Fusion Shotgun Slugs- Federal continues the innovations and selections in their Fusion line of ammo. The latest loads leave the barrel between 1,450- 1,700 fps. New additions to this line in the 12-guage & 20-guage categories are a 3inch, 7/8 ounce sabot slug and a 2 3/4 inch, 7/8 ounce sabot slug.
• Remington AccuTip Sabot Slug- This line is topped with a PowerPort Tip. This tip helps to manage expansion from 5-200 yards. This slug is designed for 12-guage, fully rifled barrels only.

Muzzleloader Ammunition

• Powerbelt Platinum Series- Powerbelt continues to enhance to its Platinum Series by adding a new grain weight and plating process, both of which are meant to intensify *********** and accuracy. The latest installment in this series is a 300-grain,.50 caliber bullet.
• Hornady FPB- With.50 caliber projectiles available in either 300 or 350-grain; Hornady proudly boasts on its website that this ammunition is “one of the easiest loading muzzleloader projectiles on the market.” These projectiles also feature Hornady’s Flex Tip technology.

More information about these and any other ammunition can be found by visiting the manufacturer’s websites. Choosing the best performing hunting ammo will certainly help to increase your chances of success in the field.

Remington is one of the greatest companies in America. Since 1816, Remington has been a leader in firearms, ammunition, targets, and many, many more industries.

The legend is that Remington’s founder, Eliphalet Remington II, believed he could build a better gun than he could buy. Eliphalet then set out to accomplish this task at his father’s forge in New York. In the fall of 1816, Eliphalet entered a shooting match with his handmade flintlock rifle, and as they say, the rest is history. He only finished second, but his gun was a hit and Remington was born. The company was originally named E. Remington & Sons.
