Specifications and Key Features

The Gamo Big Cat 1250 features a rifled steel barrel with a fluted polymer jacket that helps reduce weight while maintaining accuracy. The rifle weighs only 6.1 pounds and measures 43.3 inches overall, with an 18-inch barrel. The Gamo Big Cat 1250 scope included is a 4×32 air rifle scope with rings, allowing you to start shooting immediately. The 30-pound cocking effort is manageable for most shooters, and the second-stage adjustable trigger allows you to fine-tune the pull weight to your preference. The all-weather synthetic stock features a ventilated rubber recoil pad, twin cheek pads for ambidextrous shooting, and a non-slip texture design on the grip and forearm. The Gamo Big Cat 1250 manual provides detailed instructions for operation and maintenance.

Performance and Accuracy

The Gamo Big Cat 1250 fps reaches supersonic velocity with PBA pellets, producing a significant crack that may require ear protection and consideration for neighbors. The rifle’s effective shooting range is approximately 40 yards, with many users reporting consistent accuracy at 20-30 yards. Proper pellet selection is critical for accuracy. While the included PBA pellets provide maximum velocity, many users report better accuracy with domed lead pellets such as Crosman Premier Hollow Points, JSB Exacts, or H&N Field Target Trophy pellets. The Gamo Big Cat 1250 pellets that work best vary by individual rifle, but domed pellets generally produce tighter groups than pointed pellets.

Gamo Big Cat 1250 Problems and Common Issues

When researching Gamo Big Cat 1250 problems, several recurring issues are worth noting. The included scope is often described as adequate but not high-quality, with some users reporting it fails to hold zero. The Gamo Big Cat 1250 trigger is adjustable but has been described as heavy and “chunky” by some owners, leading many to upgrade to aftermarket triggers like the GRT-4G. Some users report difficulty achieving consistent accuracy due to the spring’s powerful recoil, which requires proper technique and potentially a scope with parallax adjustment. However, many owners report the Gamo Big Cat 1250 is accurate and powerful once properly set up, and the rifle’s Spanish manufacturing has been praised as superior to “Chinese cheap trash”.
