Check back frequently to Hard Air Magazine for all the latest pre-show news!
HAM will also be reporting on airgun developments at the 2015 SHOT Show, which runs from January 20 to 23 in Las Vegas.
Just added today to Hard Air Magazine is a test review of the Remington Express air rifle.
This Chinese-made airgun looks beautiful, and much of it is well designed. But there's just one feature that's missing. It has no scope stop!
The result is vertical stringing in HAM's test targets when shot using a scope.
If you shoot with open sights, however, the Remington Express could be a great choice for a "1,000 FPS" springer.

A comprehensive test review of the Beeman Mach 12.5 air rifle was recently published in Hard Air Magazine.
The Mach 12.5 is a Chinese-manufactured model and it certainly packs a big punch with a maximum muzzle velocity approaching 1400 fps - making it ideal as a hunting air rifle, even if you wouldn't want to shoot it all day for plinking!

The Gamo Whisper G2 air rifle is the latest airgun test review published by Hard Air Magazine (HAM).
This test reviews shows that he Gamo Whisper G2 does many things well. It's accurate, consistent, light and fairly easy to shoot for a spring/piston air rifle of this power.
HAM recorded a maximum of 1162 FPS with 5.56 grain H&N Field Target Trophy Green pellets, giving 16.68 Ft/Lbs of muzzle energy.
Accuracy was very good or excellent with 6 out of the 7 standard HAM test pellets. The Gamo Whisper G2 air rifle tested by HAM performed well with all pellets except the RWS Hobbys. This gun is not pellet picky.
The main opportunity for improvement is in the bundled scope. This does not match the quality of the air rifle itself. Do yourself a favor and replace it with a superior quality scope that will be a better match for the quality of the gun. You'll probably see a considerable improvement in practical accuracy as a result.
While knowledgeable airgunners will value the Gamo Whisper G2 air rifle for its accuracy and consistent performance, the overwhelming majority of buyers for this air rifle are not airgun experts and will buy it based on the marketing claims. Both groups will probably feel that they made a good decision!
