The trigger model incorporated is the new CAT, (Custom Action Trigger) a new technology developed by GAMO whereby the shooter can adjust phase 1 and phase 2 of the trigger independently. By merely loosening the first phase adjustment screw in increases the trajectory of the trigger. It one desires a shorter phase 1 trajectory, by simply tightening the screw it is shortened. The phase 2 adjustment is as simple as for the first phase. You loosen the adjustment screw to increase trajectory and tighten it to reduce it.

The SWA (Shock Wave Absorber) nock. The sighting system is classical, and consists of an adjustable elevation and sight, both with TRUGLO optical fibre. An airgun designed for the most demanding customers.

Triple R (Recoil Reducing Rail.) Developed to subdue the taxing stresses placed on your scope from the intense recoil of air guns and high-powered rifles. The RRR uses two-piece aluminum construction separated by dual polymer struts to absorb shockwaves. Once mounted to the Recoil Reducing Rail, the recoil stresses to internal components of the scope are reduced by almost 100%.
