Rich and I just went through this same scenario with my son's Viper. After roughly 20-25K rounds, the barrel play became too objectionable. Though it had been tuned by Rich and had one of the "funny" colored triggers, I opted to remove the trigger and send the rifle back to Gamo...remember, it DOES have a lifetime warranty.
As long as they don't look too closely and see how Rich improved upon their sloppy workmanship, I SHOULD receive the original rifle in return. If instead, Gamo sends a new rifle, it will simply go to Rich for another of his tunes and I'll reinstall the yellow trigger.
By the way, that's not a typo...she's had roughly 20-25K rounds put through her in about 8 months time. Rich can attest to how many springs he's installed in her...lol
Lastly, though she is/was an entry level rifle,(my first springer,) any product that can absorb that much use in such a short time was a great value for the money.
