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 system

Excellent Rifle
By Bob from Schertz, Texas on February 11, 2012
I chose this rifle primarily for muzzle velocity and advertised noise reduction. I do not have the instuments for meeasuring the pellet speed, but if penetration depth into a pine 2 x 6 is any indicater the muzzle velocity with PBA pellets is probably accurate. Gamo also maufactures a PBA "armor piercing" pellet that will hole thin sheet metal. The scope is of average quality, but is good enough for my needs at the moment. I checked the open sights after removing the scope. They adjust easily and are as accurate as the shooter. I've read some reviews that have complained that this model is louder than their old rifles. This is probably true if one is shooting PBA pellets. Keep in mind the high velocity of the pellet as it leaves the barrel. At 1300 fps that pellet is going to be loud. I use a lead domed pellet instead of PBA for target practice and it fires quieter than any air rifle I have ever owned. I have found the Gamo Silent Stalker IGT to be an excellent air rifle.Pros:
Light weight and accurate. High muzzle velocity.Cons:
Mediocre scope.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Surprising well made
By Bill from Western Washington state on March 26, 2012
This thing is NOT a toy. Haven't had it in the field but did sight it in my garage with 4 1" X 6" planks set up in layers 2 deep at just under 10 yards.
Cheap pellets go through the 1st layer like it is not there and bury into the 2nd layer.
My previous airgun experience is with 2 Sheridan Blue Streaks and a Crossman 22 cal target pistol.
One Sheridan shot very well and the other didn't. The pistol was accurate from the git go and, after 42 years still is.
My Stalker Whisperer comes up with the heft of a centerfire rifle and the scope is surprisingly nice. After I realized the recoil was moving
the scope, I re-tightened the mount and it grouped of 5 that could be covered with a quarter. I shot 3 PBA platinums and grouped an inch or so higher
with no other change. Waiting on the specialty pellets. When it stops raining, I'll take it outside.
Pros:
Accuracy, power, economical shooting.Cons:
Haven't found anything not to likeI would recommend this item to a friend.

Great gun for the money. Accurate and powerful. Pretty quite when not using PBS pellets.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Lightweight
By Skunkfeet on August 15, 2011
I concur with all the praise in the other reviews but need to add that this gun is very light weight. Even with the supplied scope this is lighter than many breakbarrels without a scope.Great Air Rifle ever
By Chris on June 29, 2011
Got mine last week, and so far about 250 rounds have been shot, excellent smoth operation, and deadly accurate on paper target 20, 40, yrds. I don't see any reason why it would'n be accurate at 50 to 100 yrds. The scope came with my machine is not 4x32 as listed on this website, it is actually the scope listed on Gomo website that actually come with the rifle and is a better scope, but I am installing a fancy scope on it anyway, to help long range target shooting, and small game later. I have used other Air rifles before, and I think this one is the most impressive is my collection machine. The stalker design is the most sharp and pretty looking concept for a modern style air rifle, but the finish costmatic on the stalker is a little too simple. The 2 stages stalk trigger is too long to pull is a known issue, so I am installing the GRT-4G trigger to make this rifle even more deadly accurate and more enjoyable to shoot.I am also dreaming about the same stalk design with C02 other power plan that strong enought for .25 - .40 cal for big game. Don't know when such a machine will be available? if Gamo take special order I will order one one now.
Great gun
By Pete on May 5, 2011
The IGT system on this gun is great. I have had it for 5 months and still its delivering unbelievable power. The IGT system keeps the spring from wearing out. I bought a scope at the same time as the gun because I thought that the scope that came with the rifle would not be very good. I wasted my money on that, the scope it comes with is great. I went ahead and put on the 6-24X50 scope that i bought on it, this made the gun even better. One shot one kills on squirrels up to 70 yards. Love the gun nothing wrong with it.Gamo Silent Stalker
By John on November 30, -0001
I was pleased with the power and ease of operation of this air rifle. Unfortunately, I found it to be the loudest air gun I've ever owned, contrary to the advertising and the model name (Whisperer it isn't, unless you whisper like a hammer dropped on a tin roof). I also found the rear sights too small for my aging eyes and hard to get used to, though I'm now able to stay on target in the brightest light after some practice.Gamo Silent Stalker Whisper IGT .177 Caliber Air Rifle w/3-9x40 Scope

By Travis from roodhouse, Illinois on December 6, 2011
By George from Stamford, CT on December 7, 2011
Answer:
I just got mine about 2 days ago. So far I have used the lead superdomes which are about 8.3 grains. I like these the most compared to pointed or hollow point. The superdomes seem to have alot of stopping power. I also used the platinum pba's that came with the gun. They do travel at a faster velocity and are pretty accurate but are lighter around 6-7 grain I believe. If your hunting coons I would go with a superdome or pba for long distance or a hollowpoint for close range. The hollow points are not that accurate for long range. Good luck !!By Conor from Sunnyside, WA on February 8, 2012
Answer:
For this gun, use something between 8-11 grain pellets...to light of pellets, and you will damage your piston seal.By Carter from Washington on February 11, 2012
Answer:
Try using Barracudas, Polymags, etc.By Carter from Washington on February 15, 2012
Answer:
It is better to use the heavier of the pellets, so you don't ruin your seal.
