The barrel can then be flipped back up and into its locked position. All that needs to be done now is release the safety, and the beauty that is the Gamo Silent Cat air rifle is ready to go.

So, which one is better, the Gamo?
Although the features and specifications of the Gamo Silent Cat air rifle .22 model are very similar to those of its .177 model, there is a vast difference in the customer reviews and feedback on the two models. The Gamo Whisper .177 model gets a lot of positive reviews about almost all of its features, while the .22 model of the Gamo air rifle has received more negative reviews than it has negative. Some users have complained of the Gamo Silent Cat .22 model not justifying its name as the Gamo Whisper or Gamo Silent Cat due to its loudness as compared to the advertised “whisper quiet” functioning. Others have complained about the accuracy of the Gamo Silent Cat .22 model when it comes to target and/or small game shooting. The .177 model of the popular Gamo Whisper, however, has received numerous positive reviews about both its “whisper quiet” and silent operation as well as its remarkable shooting accuracy. It can be confirmed that the .177 Gamo Whisper is a definite upgrade from the .22 model.
