It is made by C.O.W.S.

Maybe that's why it is sometimes called COW hide! Hi JJ.

Hadn't noticed this thread before!

Squirrels and bunnies are NOT safe on my property with this hunter roaming freely! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />


Squirrel and bunny fur make great fish-catchers (I tie flies)!




The rifle is a highly modded Gamo Whisper. I had a few gift cards at one point, so bought the original rifle (would have liked to have gotten something nicer). In it's stock form, it wasn't good enough for me (I like to tinker), so I started by putting the GRT-III trigger on it. The "iron sights" sucked, so I took them completely off. Also, I didn't like the synthetic stock, so I bought that beech one you see directly from Gamo and made the Whisper guts fit into it (didn't take much). While I had it taken apart, I did a full tune on it.

Shortly after that, I still wasn't completely satisfied. It shot decent groups, but I disliked the spring twang and torque, even after the tune. So I decided to add a gas piston to it. I am pretty certain I was the first person to modify their Whisper to fit one (and maybe one of the only ones to ever do it).

The gas piston shoots much better, and is faster than the spring. No twang, just a solid "thunk" when you pull the trigger. However, the Gamo scope couldn't handle the recoil of the gas piston. It quickly died. I put a Wally-World special "CenterPoint" 4-16x40 AO scope on it, and it has been fine since. It is harder to [censored], but it doesn't bother me in the slightest. It runs just a bit under 1,000 fps with 8.8 grain Beeman Crow Magnums, and I have lost track of how many squirrels and bunnies it has taken over the last few years.

Here it is right after the new scope addition:



The copper cap on the end is to hold the cross-bolt in place which holds the action together. The new stock had some relieving around that area for a similar plastic Gamo part (which they would not sell me), and the bolt was walking sideways a bit. It made me uncomfortable, so I made this cap out of a plumbing part by pounding it to shape.

Ironic thing is that you can now buy a wooden stocked, gas piston driven Whisper straight from Gamo. Royalties please? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Wow SP that's a lot of mods but it looks like it came out great. I would really like to get a disco and mod the heck out of it but bussekin has been eating all my play money lately.

Yeah, if I had it to do over again, I'd likely buy something else to begin with. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> But it is a sweet shooter! No regrets!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

nice rifle SP! pretty much any of these rifles can use some tweaks. at least now you know your rifle and probably will get more out of it over the years.

finally starting to be happy with my disco but did a bunch to it as well. lot of cleaning, depinged, power adjuster, steel bolt, muzzle brake, and added some trigger screws. but now I'm wondering if the pump is going to hold up. pcp means a whole bunch of other crap to buy and deal with thats for sure.

Hey lazi have you thought of going to nitrogen for fills? I hear it is the way to go.

I just picked up a Walther P22. Have not fired it yet need to fix that.

You should enjoy it. My wife loves hers.

Haha are you saying its a girls pistol <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
