When I picked up the GAMO P-27, I thought it looked a lot like the GAMO P-430, which I reviewed here. There are some similarities, but there are some differences as well. The P-27 retails on the GAMOUSA.com site for $62.90, while the P-430 currently is retailing for $39.90. Both guns operate on a semi-automatic CO2 powerplant. Both guns have a really neat double-ended magazine holding eight BBs or pellets on each end, totaling 16 shots. The P-27 has three white dots on the fixed sights.

As a public-school educator, gun writer, and leader of a youth outdoor club, I've had the unique opportunity to speak to youth about hunting and shooting sports. Over the years, I've formed some valuable partnerships with businesses and families that have not only enriched the lives of many kids, but built a stronger community of hunters and shooters as well. One of my most meaningful partnerships has been with the Snow family.

There are many gun enthusiasts who love M4/AR-style rifles these days. For that reason, I decided to give Crosman's M4-177 dual-ammo air gun a full review to see how it would perform on the range. UnboxingWhen I removed the air gun from the box, my first impression was that the rifle was a compact version of an AR. The rifle is sized so that small-framed and taller shooters alike can enjoy it.

UnboxingThe Crosman Mag-Fire Ultra break-barrel .22 air rifle was a bit of a surprise coming out of the box for me. The first thing I grabbed was the scope., which is a 3x-9x-40 AO. Many times when a scope comes with an airgun, the quality of the scope is not the best. However, this scope not only looked good, but had the adjustable objective that I love using to make everything crisp when shooting.
