Truth be told ...

my brother uses my old Shadow with the Gamo mounts that came with the Varmint scope & laser setup. It is holding fine but he doesn't shoot many pellets, and only uses the gun to occasionally whack pests. The spring is soft because he often leaves it cocked, sometimes for days. UG! Oh well! Maybe he cycled 300 shots through it over the past 2 years, if that.

When I first had that same Gamo with $14.99 Gamo mounts, it did slip and I went nuts trying to figure out why I was missing target, blaming the pellets, then the scope until I saw the markings on the groove. Tightening the screws more caused one to strip and I replaced the mount & scope with the above mentioned Varmint combo. Was it a quality control issue? Most likely hit or miss with them!

I understand the price issue but if you cycle hundreds of shots per season, if not thousands... I just would not advise it, especially if you want any accuracy.

For plinking use what you have and it may squeak by! I've never known the adhesives to work, and drilling the stop pin can be tricky without a press and vise. Plus you'll risk a punch-through into the receiver and have metal shaving inside to deal with.
