Gamo Standard air rifles ideal for getting started in compressed air

Gamo Standard carbines are typically rated under 24 joules, with many under 7.5 joules and marked "F", making them ideal for recreational shooting, plinking and pest control at short to medium ranges. These rifles are easier to handle and require less maintenance. They are perfect for those looking for a precise shooting experience without the need for high power levels. Additionally, these carbines do not weigh as much as high-power rifles, have a softer leverage, making loading easier, and produce less recoil, improving accuracy.
Spring: Ideal for beginners and children, with models less than 7.5 joules, but there are also high-power options and larger chambers. European brands include Gamo, Diana and Cometa; Turkish ones include Hatsan; and the Chinese ones include Snowpeak.
Gas Piston (IGT): Provides smoother and more consistent shots, with less vibrations. Gamo is an affordable option made in Spain. Hatsan and Cometa also stand out, the latter manufactured by hand in Eibar.
CO2: They use 12 gram CO2 capsules, they are lower in power and price, ideal for recreational shooting and plinking. Featured brands include Crosman, Daisy and Umarex.

Gamo integrates several technologies into its Standard rifles to improve precision and the shooting experience:
IGT (Inert Gas Technology): Replaces the traditional spring with a gas piston, providing smoother and more consistent shots.
SWA (Shock Wave Absorber): A shock absorption system in the stock that reduces recoil.
SAT (Smooth Action Trigger): A two-stage trigger that improves shot control and accuracy.
Whisper: Sound moderation technology that significantly reduces shot noise, allowing for quieter shooting.
Ergonomic design: The lightweight, ergonomic design allows for long shooting sessions without excessive fatigue and improves accuracy thanks to lower recoil.

In Spain, compressed air rifles up to 24.2 joules are considered fourth category and do not require a weapons license. However, it is mandatory to register them with the corresponding town hall. It is advisable to check local regulations before purchasing to ensure you comply with all applicable regulations.

Intended use: Determine whether you will use it for recreational shooting, plinking, pest control, or precision competitions.
Caliber: Choose from .177 for precision and competition, and .22 for impact and pest control.
Scope Compatibility: Make sure the rifle allows scope mounting if you plan to use one to improve your accuracy.
Maintenance: Regular cleaning of the barrel and lubrication of moving parts to ensure optimal performance.
Legislation: In Spain, all Gamo Standard rifles comply with the weapons law and regulations. It is important to review local legislation to adapt to specific needs.
Additional advantages: Gamo Standard rifles have a softer leverage force, making loading easier. Its lightweight design allows for long shooting sessions without fatigue, and lower recoil improves accuracy. The effective shooting distance for rifles that do not reach 7.5 joules is approximately 20 to 25 meters, while for those that do not reach 20 joules, the effective distance is approximately 40 to 50 meters.
