Synopsis
Gamo's original Whisper air rifle was an incredible rifle that just about took over the spring gun market. It's hard to believe they could improve it, but they did!The Gamo Silent Stalker Whisper is an engineering wonder because of Gamo's IGT gas spring. The Inert Gas Technology makes the Silent Stalker Whisper a superior hunting machine that performs reliably in any weather, under any condition and for years without any maintenance. Spring guns are notorious for not performing well in very cold weather. Guns with metal mainsprings have tar and lube on the springs. Tthe greases thicken when the temperature goes real low. A gas spring, on the other hand, needs no lube. Therefore, it won't have any of the problems experienced by springers.Besides the gas spring, Gamo's Silent Stalker Whisper has the same ND52 technology found in the rest of the Whisper series. ND52 is a noise dampening system that permanently fits on the muzzle and decreases the report (noise) by 52% over springers without the systemSpecifications: Caliber- .177 Velocity: 1300 FPS (w/PBA Ammo); 1100 w/ Lead Ammo Weight: 5.28 lbs Barrel Length:18.00" Overall Length: 43.80" Capacity: 1 round Cocking Effort:38 lbs.
