I just received the GRT III for my Benjamin Trail XP 1100. I had it installed in about 10 minutes. So easy a caveman could do it.

OMG,I can not believe the difference. The old trigger is a POS no doubt; all I can say is wow. If you have this rifle get this trigger for it. You will wonder how you ever lived without it.

Wow! Amazing! This trigger will exceed your expectations. My NPXL 1100 is a brand new beast. This trigger was tuned perfectly and needed no adjustments.  The break is crisp and extremely consistent. These guys could be charging a lot more for this product. Really appreciate the quality at an affordable price. This is a must for any AG!.......... Thanks CHARLIE!

Good Day Bob,

 Well I bought a modestly priced Crossman Storm XL...it wasn't being snobbish but the price was moderate and the reviews were sterling. Again there was this mention constantly made of THE GRT III on all of these terriffic reviews. Well I shot the gun all day to the tune of more than a tin of hollow point pellets and was convinced that I had lost my marksmanship skills. I started to really concentrate on my shooting skills and found no consistancy what-so-ever or discernable pattern to my groupings other than they were all over the map. I went on line that night and ordered the one thing that 'might' help...THE GRT III Trigger.

The order was placed on Thursday morning before the birds woke up...old habit of mine...and who would have expected it to arrive in the mail on the following Saturday when I got back home from work!!! WOW!!! Needless to say it HAD to be installed immediately and using the web links provided soon found me with a dis-assembled rifle in no time and a lot of anticipation in comparing the two triggers. SURPRISE!!! There were parts left over, and this was completely intentional...I was suddenly experiencing palpitations, how could THAT be??? Whenever you can eliminate moving parts, especially springs, its a good thing on a weapon. Finishing up the reassembly was a snap after the initial shock of parts remaining wore off and it was outside to the range to check out the result. Whereas previously there was an extremely long and somewhat gritty feel on the trigger assembly and a prolonged wait for the sear to 'break' and fire the gun there was now a crisp short travel and the pleasant 'surprise' on the break. It took a gun I was pretty impressed with initially and allowed it to live up to it's full potential and thankfully took me along for the ride as well.

Hands down this was one of THE most beneficial improvements I have ever made to anything I have purchased. It is hard to comprehend the hub-bub on websites that proclaim how much of an improvement that this one item makes...it is definitely NO EXAGGERATION!!! This thing works as specified and surpassed what I expected. Thank-you Bob, aka CharlieDaTuna, you made my day and ended it for a couple of small varmits already.

Subject: Great trigger

Hello Robert,
 
Just a note to say thanks for a great trigger.  I received the one I ordered from you this afternoon (Very quick service, by the way) and installed it immediately upon receipt.  It works beautifully.  I made my short-stroke nitro piston Benjamin a joy to shoot and closed my 25 yd. groups from 1.25" to just over .75"  (yes, I just wiped it down after sending 150 rounds downrange, LOL) Your trigger scales out @1lb,9oz (low) to 1lb,13oz (high) very crisp pull with no creep at all right out of the package, and anything in that range pleases me.  I'm sure that it will further stabilize when the moly lube film has saturated the relevant surfaces.
 
Long story short, I haven't seen as great an improvement since I put a set of double-set adjustable Timney triggers in my 45cal. Hawkin rifle and they cost beaucoups $$$$ as I'm sure you are aware. 
 
Since I'm getting too old (make that too lazy) to chase meat critters in the field I am getting into shooting paper critters with air rifles.  I hope to be a repeat customer...

Bob,

You have taken a complex problem and produced an elegant solution - better yet, it works as advertised. The GRT III has helped make my Cabela's Outfitter accurate - something that I was becoming frustrated with.

My order arrived in CA in 4 days, I was able to install it using easy to read instructions in 10 minutes and it required only a minor turn of the first stage adjustment to make the safety work properly. This too was well covered in the installation documentation.

As others have said, "I am amazed!" Thanks for the product, great customer service and your passion for this sport.

Subject: Gamo CFX

Hi Bob,
 
I have a Gamo CFX rifle and quite frankly have been disappointed with it's accuracy. I have always had a scope on it, and have changed to a Hawke 3-9x40 Air Max Scope to contend with the spring piston recoil. Still couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, if you know what I mean. Groupings were inside a 12" circle at 75 feet and in all four quadrants. A friend of mine who also has the CFX told me to get the GRT-III trigger and my problems would go away. At this point I was willing to try anything, so I ordered one. It took ten minutes to get the rifle apart (first time), and two minutes to swap the trigger. Now for the good stuff. HOLY CRAP, this trigger is amazing! First shot was 3" right and low. Second shot was 1" right and low. Third shot...bullseye, and the next 5 shots were bulls as well, shooting a target with a 1" bullseye at 75 feet. I never thought a trigger could make such a difference, but yours does. Thanks a ton for bringing back the spark to shoot again.

Subject: Installed two triggers

Bob,

I just received the triggers in the mail today and installed them both.  Wow-..what a difference. 

 I installed the first one on a 0.22 Crosman Titan GP that I recently got from Wal-Mart. It had a very long and hard trigger pull, and adjusting it didn't help much.  I installed the GRT-III in about 15 minutes and did no adjustments at all. The safety worked just fine and the trigger pull was light and short. The gun is now a dream to shoot.  The second gun I installed the trigger in was a 0.177 Crosman Storm XT, also from Wal-Mart.  That original trigger was a bit different than the Titan GP and the safety wouldn't quite work at first, but after I made a slight adjustment, it worked just fine.  The trigger pull is now wonderful on that gun too. The installation was simple for both air rifles.  I have only shoot a dozen or so pellets on each air rifle, but it appears that the groups are obviously tighter than than I could ever get using the original triggers.

 Thanks,

 George

WOW!  I was very doubtful that this simple trigger would do much to improve the horrendous pull of the Cabelas Outfitter rifle.  This thing is incredible.  I was simply amazed.  It took 5 minutes to install and gave a very crisp and smooth trigger pull.  It turned an OK rifle in to a very accurate and pleasant rifle.  I will be ordering one more trigger for my other rifle and I think every friend that tries it will be as well.

Dear Mr. Tuna,

I was so close to selling or trying to trade off my Gamo (actually my gun is a Savage/Gamo Model 1000).

I was sick.  My Gamo IS very very accurate!  Scary accurate!  But the trigger was SO bad, I could not shoot it well without great care to brace the gun for each shot. A well braced shot is not always possible while hunting Wabbits around the fringe of our garden or while slipping around on the House Sparrows or Starlings that invade our bird houses and bird feeders.  I needed an accurate gun I could fire reasonably quick while the critters were still in place.

I'd decided to get a different air rifle.  A gun with a good trigger.  So I began looking around on the different air rifle forums.

Every time I posted the facts surrounding my "need" for a new rifle, I got a slew of replies that advocated the Tuna-Trigger!!!  I read up on DaTuna Trigger.  I could not find a negative comment.  So...I decided I'd give it (GRT-III) a try.  I knew I'd not find a good replacement rifle for $32.00!!!!

Well, am writing to tell you:  1) the trigger is fantastic...an easy 300% improvement in the flash of an eye!!  2) even a knucklehead with two left hands can install the thing in five minutes!!!

 Great product.  Thank you!!!

Subject: My impressions about the GRT-III replacement trigger

 Hello Mr. Werner,

I recently bought on your website a replacement trigger (a GRT-III) for my Gamo Hunter 440. At last, i finally managed to mount and try it. It is absolutely ***WONDERFUL*** !!! It is exactly what the rifle needs to express its power and accuracy. Whatever the distance i shoot at, the impacts are astonishingly grouped in such a little circle. Impossible to get that result with the original trigger.

More precisely, it is now possible to shoot the same way i would with a firearm (such as one of my Winchester 94 rifles) : no hard point, the trigger goes back millimeter by millimeter and suddenly BLAM ! The Hunter 440 is so accurate that i now can hit a 2 x 2 inches square at 30 meters (33 yards) with every round. Not bad ;)

I plan to buy another Gamo, a Nitro 17 (modest power yet accurate and very fun). If the GRT-III is compatible, i'll contact you to buy another instance.

Thank you very much, and have a good day in Simpsonville.

 Regis

Bob I received your trigger on Monday with no issues.  I promptly installed it without a problem.  It took all of 10 minutes to take off the stock, replace the blade, and reinstall the stock.  This thing is amazing.  I can’t believe the difference.  At first I thought that it would be a little unsafe because it was so light so I did some abuse testing.  I took it outside and used the butt of my hand to smack around the stock while loaded pointed at the ground.  No discharge.  Then I checked to make sure that the safety was working, again abusing it while pulling the trigger.  Once again no problem.  I have to say that you make one fine product and when I purchase another air rifle that will accept your trigger you WILL be getting payment from me for another.  Thank you.

 Hi Bob,

Just a quick note to let you know how pleased I am with the GRTIII Trigger.  I ordered it Friday, and received it today (Monday). What great service !!

I had been reading the installation instructions over the weekend, in anticipation of doing the installation. Normally, everything I attempt has problem after problem, and I have to run to the hardware store to buy one of these or two of that.  This installation was so quick and easy, I had it installed in my Gamo Whisper in no time.  What took the longest time was finding the correct Torx driver in my toolbox to remove the action and barrel assembly from the stock.  That took about three minutes. Everything else went like clockwork, with no problems whatsoever. After reassembling the rifle, I took it outside, and carefully cocked and loaded it.  The first shot was, as advertised, a surprisingly different experience. I fired a few shots to get the feel of the trigger, then put up a new target.  At 20 yards, the rifle was now grouping three shots in a 1/2 inch with the Beeman FTS pellets (.22 cal).  This trigger feels as good, if not better, than the Rekord Trigger on my Beeman R-1 DG.

 All I can say is  WOW !!!!!!

You have over delivered on a quality product that makes a precision shooting tack driver out of a marginal (at best) air rifle.  This is without a doubt the best $32.00 I have ever spent in my life.  I'm sure you have heard all of this before, but I just wanted to thank you for offering such a quality product that performs as advertised and beyond.

Thank you again

 Hi Bob,

Just letting you know the trigger arrived, I installed it in about 5 min.  and WOW!!  Let me just say the reviews on your site are correct and do tell the story of this amazing trigger. I installed this on my Benjamin Trail NP XL. The stock trigger made it very difficult (at least for me)  to keep a tight grouping. I was around 1.25" to 1.50" with a few pellets even wider. With your trigger installed I am now at less than .25" at 20 yards, simply outstanding. I have put 100 rounds through it so far, all with the same result bullseyes and alot of pellets through the same hole. Thanks so much for a product that is superbly made and truly is all it's cracked up to be. I will be switching my Crossman NPSS trigger with your CBR Trigger in the very near future. Now I need to loctite my screws, let them dry so I can get back to enjoying this gun with your trigger. Thanks again....

Hi Charlie,

I ordered the GRT-III for my Gamo Whisper .22 and was positively surprised as it was in my mailbox after only 3 days.

Yup, it is surely a miracle trigger --- and the results are stunning!!!

After opening the padded envelope I immediately started the installation by removing the (crappy) factory trigger and replaced it with the sharp looking GTR-III trigger. The installation information on your website was very helpful and made the job extremely easy and quick to accomplish. It took me only 25 minutes (from start to finish) to get the job done, which also included some minor cleaning & lubricating.

And now to the results:  What can I say --- UNBELIEVABLE!!!

My Gamo was pretty accurate from the beginning but can not be compared to what it is now. I messed up the first few shots because I was not used to such a match grade trigger … but then I applied only minimal pressure and the trigger broke nicely & smooth and the pellet hit the target “right on”.

My average group size is now ¼” in diameter at 30 yards and there were no trigger adjustments necessary … this was never possible before! I can now squeeze off a shot without the need of having to jerk the gun due to hard/rough trigger pull from the old factory trigger. I’m sure that I will be able to improve my grouping even more over time …… everything is possible with the GRT-III.

Gamo (and many other air rifle manufactures) should consider using your GTR-III Trigger instead of the wimpy stamped “stuff” they install right now. It makes absolutely no sense to make a nice accurate air rifle when the trigger ruins the entire result.

I read many Gamo revues and most people were disappointed and even upset with the trigger system. Thank God that there are still people like Charlie in this country who know how to do things right and have pride in what they are doing.

 Charlie, thanks for a great product.

Dear Robert,
 
   I bought a Gamo Big Cat 1200 refurb on the internet for less than $90 and held off ordering a trigger for it until I had honed my technique and found a pellet (Crosman Premier Hollow Point, the only knibble this cat likes) that could USUALLY go through the same hole (with lots of patience and concentration on pulling that lousy stock trigger).  I figured no sense spending the money unless the gun can shoot well.  Now I have a gun that I can shoot in the field where patience and concentration on trigger control tend to suffer a bit, and know that I can hit whatever I am aiming at every time.
 
An outstanding product and an incredible result.
 
I did have a problem with the trigger not returning forward and none of the items mentioned in the troubleshooting sheet seemed to be the cause.  Upon much fiddling and close inspection, it turned out that the Big Cat had a spring (I think it is the sear spring) bent so that one end was sitting in the middle of the trigger body in a position where upon pulling the trigger it would get wedged in the slot on top of the trigger along with the strut.  I took the plastic strut stop out, let the strut swing out of the trigger body, pulled the spring over to the side where it belongs, and reinstalled the strut stop and trigger.  Then it worked perfectly.  Just thought you might want to pass it along in case any other customers have a Cat with a kink in its tail.  Bottom line is I now have a $120 tack driver that blows right through a 350 page phone book, and looks absolutely great to boot.
 
Thanks again,

I received the GRT-III trigger today after a fast 2 day turn-around from ordering to receiving it in the mail.

Installation in my Gamo Shadow 1000 was a breeze.  I loved this gun before, and have used it over the last couple of years for squirrel hunting and target, but the trigger that it came with was much to be desired, with a lot of creep in the first stage, and then the sudden jerk into the second stage, if you can even consider them stages at all.

After installing the GRT-III trigger, I was like, Really?  This gun can shoot this much easier and this much more stable?  Wow!  I was getting groupings that were not only fantastic, but, as others have also said, the pellets would oftentimes enter the same holes from the previous shot!

My brother and I spent the rest of the daylight time shooting eggs and targets at about 30+ yards, shooting branches with pinecone clusters from the upper parts of our trees, and I also bagged a nice fat squirrel (and left the other 5 or so to continue eating).

For anyone who has an airgun and likes it, without this trigger you're not using it to its true potential!  So if you already like your airgun, you'll LOVE it with this trigger installed.  It's like an entirely different gun after the install of the new trigger unit, and one that shoots like a much more expensive model now.

The trigger is a finely crafted and machined unit.  It's a little hard to believe what a difference something like a trigger can make in a gun, but believe it!  Whereas before I would have to anticipate the hard pull and sudden jerk of the stock trigger, when I shoot with the GRT-III trigger installed, it's barely even noticeable that I'm even squeezing it when it shoots!

If you're gonna invest in one thing in your gun, INVEST IN THIS TRIGGER!

Another happy GRT owner.

Thank you Mr. Werner!

I don't know what sort of machining magic you and Charlie the tuna did to your trigger, but after 50 shots in my windless indoor 35' range with the Gamo 1200 on a sled using .22 Predator Polymag pellets my groups are inside a nickel. 

With the factory Gamo trigger I felt fortunate to have 1" groups with an occasional flyer out to 2" accompanied with a long, slow, and uncertain trip point.

The motion of your trigger is crisp, short, tight, and utterly predictable.  Simply sight, grip, focus, and squeeze.  Just like a real firearm.

Is this an endorsement of your product?  Hell, yes.

I received the triggers that I ordered from you in today's mail.  As they say, first impressions are everything, and your triggers look great just lying in the package.  I am a gunsmith and have installed your triggers before, and there is no doubt they truly are miracle triggers.  Why do I say miracle triggers, it is because they really do turn any Gamo around 180 degrees.  The best description that I can give is something going from black to white, night to day, or stones to diamonds.  These triggers do work, and installation is a snap.  These are something that Gamo should have installed at the factory; however, then I might have never dealt with an excellent seller who delivers as promised!  Thanks, and keep up the excellent work that you do.  I can guarantee that you will never hear "sorry Charlie" from me!

Subject: Trail XL Has a New Gold Trigger :)

Walked out to the mailbox to get the mail and when I peeked inside I saw a small yellow padded envelope mixed in the with bills. I thought to myself "could it be?" I pulled the padded envelope out and sure enough it was my brand new shiny gold GRT III trigger for my Trail XL 1100 .22 After giving the bills and garbage mail to my wife I ran down into the basement shop with my prize

I popped off the stock of the XL and got to work. 10 minutes later the XL was sportin a new shiny gold trigger The installation would've only taken 5 minutes but while the trigger housing was exposed I decided to clean it up and re-lube it with the good stuff

I remounted the stock after thoroughly cleaning the stock screws and applying a liberal dose of blue loc-tite. Yesterday afternoon I had re-mounted the scope after cleaning all the parts and applying loc-tite and now that I had just applied loc-tite to the stock screws I knew I should wait at least 48 hours for the loc-tite to dry and cure but I just had to take at least a shot or 2 with the new trigger.

I've stated many times how the stock trigger on my XL is one of the worst triggers I've ever used so I was really excited to finally get to fire off a shot with the tuna trigger. Loaded a pellet, shouldered the rifle and gently squeezed the tuna trigger. I barely applied any pressure and the trigger broke nice and clean and crisp and the gun fired. Now THAT'S how a trigger is supposed to be !!!!!!!!!! I fired one more pellet, got the same beautiful trigger experience then gently wiped down the rifle with a new silicone cloth and stored her gently in the gun safe for the next 48 hours so the loc-tite can cure.

I can't wait for the 48 hours to pass so I can get back out in the backyard range and do the final sight in ,,,,, then I can take her hunting

All is now right in my airgun universe again thanks for such a great product Bob !

Hello Charlie,

It's amazing it took only 11 days for the triggers to get to me here in Australia . On opening the envolope I was very impressed at the look and finish of your product.. I left them sitting there for an hour or so them I couldn't resist I had to install it at least on one of my air rifles.. I decided il install it on my gamo shadow fox as it is only one week old .. It took me only five minutes to install your fine piece of work.. once again couldn't help myself had to try it and I was amazed that taking the factory trigger out and droping your trigger in makes it a totaly diffrent gun.

I set up a target 15 meters away and all five shots were very accurate all of them touching each other. AMAZING!! I would recomend this trigger to anyone or should I say anyone with an air rifle should have this  trigger.... It's not worth shooting if you haven't got one of charlies triggers! It should be made a law to have this trigger... I can't wait to put the other one on my gamo hunter 440 in .22. Thank you Charlie..

Charlie,

I received the trigger two days ago, thank you! I installed it today and it is like you said, it took me less than 3 minutes to put the new trigger in but more like 20 minutes trying to figure out how to get the gun back together after dropping bushings and spacers out while disassembling the rifle, LOL . But now here is where I have to say......wholly crap Batman!

What a difference in the trigger pull! It's like 3/4th's less of a pull than the original. It's very light and crisp. And wow, what a difference it made in accuracy! I can now squeeze off a shot and not jerk the gun due to a hard trigger pull from the old trigger. I am shooting at 15 yards to start and actually getting the shots touching one another. I ran out of daylight while shooting so I have to wait until tomorrow to sight the rifle in for 25 yrds and am excited to see the results due to the new trigger. Thank you again for your recommendation!

Bob,

Here's my take on the trigger. Feel free to use it as you see fit.

I have shot every kind of gun imaginable. I have done tons of trigger jobs to my firearms. All I can say is "WOW". I have spent 200+ dollars on "match grade" trigger units in "real" guns and airguns too and for a little more than a 10th of the price this trigger is unbelievable! The tech support is second to none. Emails with links to directions and installation videos. Not to mention your phone conversations with me. I want to go buy another gun just to work on the trigger!!!!!

THANKS !

Hi Bob,

    I received your GRT III trigger today and installed it, which was easier than I thought it would be. The original trigger pull was long, somewhat heavy, and gritty.  The GRT III trigger pull is short, light and very smooth. The GRT III fit in my Benjamin Trail very well, and allows me to place one pellet on top of the next at 10 yards. Thank you Bob for another fabulous trigger!  Sincerely,    John Schrader

P.S. The GRT III is an awesome looking trigger as well and adds a lot to the visual appeal of my air rifle.

Bob aka Charlie,

I just wanted to let you know that I am ridiculously happy with your trigger.  I got it very quickly after ordering and it is not only an amazing function upgrade, but beautiful to boot (not to mention the crazy amazing price for something so nice).  Installation was very quick and easy.  I installed the GRT-III along with a new Leapers 3-9x40 scope on my Remington Vantage 1200 and it feels like a whole new gun.  I look forward to a long future of fun and satisfaction with my rig now.  THANX MR. TUNA!!!

ASTOUNDING!!!!!!!  That's a word I've never used on any purchase that I've ever made, until now.

I am truely amazed. I knew that the GRT III would be a major improvment to my Gamo Viper, but the GRT III totally exceeds any expectations that I ever could of imagined.

Before the GRT III, it was impossible to shoot consistantly with the excess trigger travel and heavier pull weight of the stock trigger.

After an easy 10 minute installation, I shot several 1/4" groups at 30'.

Then I started shooting at thumb tacks, also at 30', these tacks were only 1/8th" across the head,  after hitting 3 in a row, I put the Viper up, totally satisfied that I have made one of the best purchases in my 54 years of life and that I can totally hang with anyone, anytime, anyplace on any firing line thanks to Charlie Da Tuna.

   Thank You, Thank You, Thank You,

 Hi Charlie,

I just received you trigger and installed it.  This is the first air rifle that I have had as an adult.  I am 58 now.  Years ago I did a lot of hunting and did a lot of work on my rifles.  I had several varmint rifles as well as deer rifles.  I would not keep one unless I could cover 100yd groups with a quarter.  Some good rifles had decent adjustable triggers but I would buy aftermarket triggers on some.  I had used several brands of triggers usually Timery (not sure about the spelling) but to my point. I NEVER SPENT $32 that made such a difference.  To me nothing is more important than a trigger on a fire arm or in this case an air rifle to improve performance.  The one that came with the Remington Vantage 1200 was junk.  I have just fired a few rounds since I changed it but what a difference.

Thank You So Much!

Jim

Good morning Sir. I received and installed your trigger yesterday.

First thing that comes to mind is amazing. The speed that it got here was impressive and it was very easy to install. I read the directions twice before receiving the trigger and read a link on Pyramid Air and was prepared for install when it got here. Took about 20 minutes only because I almost forgot the bushing that rolls on the inside of the stock so I had to take the stock off again. No adjustments needed once installed.

Took it out to the garage for trial. The new trigger is very light compared to stock so first round was a flier but still on the target. After about 10 shots to get the feel of the trigger I was shooting 3 shot groups that could be covered by 1 pellet! The picture is attached. I am amazed at the difference the trigger makes. Looks and feel are very nice. By far the best upgrade to the gun and the least expensive. Directions were very clear and easy to follow. Lubed the trigger and all points internal like suggested. This is an outstanding upgrade and highly recommended. I cannot wait till this weekend so I can really stretch my rifle out and see what it can do.

Your website, service and trigger's are top notch. Thank you.

Hi Charlie
 
i'm jim from italy , just wanted to say that the GRT TRIGGER has arrived . i have installed it and wow what a differnce it makes . I’m so pleased to have made the purchase now. i read the comments before i decided to purchase it and said now that i read the comments I’m sure that the first shot wont be a miss , but as i stood aiming at the target well as all the others has stated the first shot was unexpected. the trigger is so soft and smooth i didn't even realize that i just have taken the shot. and as to say it wasn't as planed . The trigger was so smooth that i shot before i was ready . there are no words to explain the new trigger. the gold finish makes the rifle look even more serious that before and well as for the rest (as I stated before I’m wordless ) for all those that have the old Gamo CFX believe me that it's a whole new ball game with the GRT TRIGGER.
THANKS CharlieDaTuna . YOURE UPGRADE IS A PIECE OF ART AND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ILL PASS BY THE GUNSMITH THAT SOLD ME THE CFX TO LET HIM SEE AND FEEL WHAT IS REAL WORKMANSHIP.

I received your trigger in the mail today...fast processing and quick mail.

I am totally pleased with the change it makes in my Gamo CFX.  I expected the stock trigger to be mushy and not too good, but I was surprised at how mushy it is.  I shot about 200 rounds with the stock trigger so I would have a chance to get used to it and have a good bench mark starting point.

Where the stock CFX trigger started makes the transformation as a result of the 10 minute (I timed it) installation of the GRT III all the more remarkable.  I am totally pleased with the new trigger feel and consistency,  I know exactly when it is going to let off and I don't have to pull it halfway to the butt plate. It makes the gun an absolute pleasure to shoot.  This consistency seems to have enabled me to shrink my 20 yard groups from quarter size to dime size with occasional cloverleafs and I think we can do better, I just ran out of the gun's favorite pellets.

As all the reviewers have said your trigger design makes a pretty good airgun into a great airgun.  You can be sure I'll be buying a GRT III on every compatible airgun I buy.

Charlie, I received the GRTIII trigger today and it was as easy to install as all of your website info said it would be. I have a brand new Gamo Whisper .22 cal with a Gas Ram powerplant and synthetic camo stock and I shot about 50 pellets thru it before your trigger arrived. It is a very accurate and powerful rifle (840 fps with 15.88 gram pellets) but after installing your trigger...all I can say is WOW!!! The GRTIII is everything and more that I have read about on the many forums and blogs. The pull weight, smoothness and true 1st/2nd stage feedback are exactly what I expected. I saved the stock trigger and spring etc, but I'm fairly sure that the stamped, sheet metal trigger and parts will not be re-intalled in this gun during my lifetime!

Let me also thank you for the quick delivery, 3 days from your place to mine here in Idaho. And...even more importantly, the install was as simple and straightforward as your instructions. One note for late model Gamo Whisper CSI owners... the "E" clip is on the reverse side of the trigger assembly, and there is only one clip due to the trigger hinge pin having a shoulder on the near side that retains it ("E" clip is on the opposite side that Charlie shows in his picture/instructions looking right to left with the trigger on the right, muzzle on left and barrel on top).

I just finished putting 50 more pellets downrange and what a REMARKABLE DIFFERENCE your trigger makes. I can only compare it to my HW97K with a Rekord 2 stage trigger and for this Gamo rifle it is as close to the Rekord trigger as I could possibly hope for.

For anyone looking to get $500 performance from their $200 gun, get Charlies GRTIII trigger for $32 and save $268!

Thanks again Charlie for the service and support you provide to air-gunners.

Charlie,

I ordered your GRT-III trigger for my Gamo Whisper VH because it was recommended by the Gamo customer service agent when I called to complain about the Whisper’s excessive trigger pull.

I must say that I was skeptical to say the least about the reported ease of installation.  Having owned my Whisper for only a week and not being completely familiar with its construction I was anticipating a challenging installation.  I was wrong.  I used your GRT III Trigger Installation pictorial instruction guide and was shocked at how straight forward and simple the entire process was from start to finish.  In fact it took no more than ten minutes.

I also couldn’t believe the difference in trigger pull.  The GRT III trigger made a remarkable and significant difference in trigger pull.  The lighter trigger pull was exactly what I was looking for and has transformed my Whisper into my air rifle of choice.

Bob,

I've read all the testimonials.....and I'm sure you get tired of reading them. I don't know what else to add, you are a genius! My wife bought me a Gamo Silent Cat for Christmas, after listening to me complain about range fees and ammo costs. She knew nothing about air guns, and bought it at the suggestion of a Bass Pro Shop clerk. I was nearly ready to resign it closet duty, not wanting to hurt her feelings, until I ran across your site when researching these "springers".

I've tinkered with guns since I was a kid (just another good ol' boy from South Mississippi) and have NEVER seen anything make this much difference in a gun of any kind. And this wasn't the first trigger I've swapped either!  Your trigger is what these guns need to turn them from junk into gold.

Thanks again for offering a quality part at a reasonable price, and getting it here so quickly.  I only wish you were still tuning!

I hope you and your family have a wonderful New Year.

Another Happy Customer,

Your GRT III trigger was shipped to me promptly.  Taking it out of the package, I immediately noticed that the workmanship was outstanding. Installation took me only about 10 minutes, but while the gun (Gamo Silent Cat) was out of the stock, I took some extra time to look at everything and admire the workmanship.  The install was a snap and I feel like I could have done it without instructions, it's that easy.  After putting the gun back together, the first shot came as a surprise since the yard long creep was gone.  I was convinced that the standard Charliedatuna adjustments could be improve upon so I took my allen wrench and screw driver and got busy.  Long story short, I returned the adjustments to just about where you had them set up, so I guess you really DO know what you're doing.  Great trigger makes a great improvement to my Gamo.  Thanks.

 Hi Bob,

 Derek MacLean here, you may remember that I wrote to you via your CharlieDaTuna web site some time ago commenting on various aspects of the articles therein.

 Following requests made to me here in this part of the World to sort out the triggers on some Gamo CFX models I got my son Clive MacLean, who lives in Wayne, Illinois to order three units from you.  As my younger son was visiting with his brother he was able to bring them back to South Africa on his return home.  This certainly saved a bit on the postage etc. and ensured their safe passage avoiding the highly possible theft enroute through our postal system.  I understand that you are aware of this problem having experienced it with other orders from Africa.

 I think that I previously explained that, apart from smithing air guns here I also coach air rifle shooting at a local college.  This morning before attending a coaching session in the afternoon I took the opportunity to fit one of your triggers to a CFX used by one of my top Springer shooters.  This young man shoots very well with his CFX but has never been happy with that dreadful Gamo trigger let-off.  I have to tell you that both the young shooter and myself were absolutely amazed at the result.  Our complements to you Sir - a first class design and great engineering quality.

 There is no doubt that when word gets around to the many shooters here who use Gamo rifles I will have to get my son to order me further supplies. 

 I have recently written and published through the college a 'how to' booklet on the techniques of target shooting both the Springer and Sporter (PCP) rifles in the three positions. This has been quite well received by the school shooters here.  As I note your postal address in the GRT-111 installation instructions I am taking the liberty of sending you a copy that I hope may be of interest to you.  Your comments would be appreciated.

 Regards,

 Derek MacLean

Hello Bob

Here's some feedback on my recently purchased trigger. I received the trigger in just 5 days from ordering. It took me about 10 minutes to fit to my Gamo shadow. I didn't need to adjust the trigger, it feels perfect. It has transformed the gun completely, the old trigger had a really long first stage and was very heavy when firing. Now it is a lot lighter and very precise. Anyone in doubt about buying and fitting one of your triggers should just go and do it. It is worth every cent. Thanks for brilliant product.

 I must admit, when I bought my Gamo Whisper Deluxe about a year ago, and started hanging around here, I was skeptical about all the rave comments concerning the GRT III. Well, last week I finally ordered one. It got here yesterday and I installed it this morning, before my coffee. And even considering the klutz factor, it took me maybe 10 minutes, start to finish. Sound familiar? For a 68 year old with ten thumbs, that's not bad.

My first shot out of it hardly got on paper, because I started to press the trigger the way I pressed the old one, and it when bang before I was ready. The second shot was a bulls-eye. This is one helluva trigger.

Dear Sir; I thought I would comment on Your GRT III trigger I ordered for My Gamo CFX air rifle. First let Me say Your instructions for installation are great. I put it in without any problems, And If I can do it almost anyone can. Do Your homework and It’s a snap 15 minute start to finish job. It made My Gamo air rifle a different gun. The trigger travel distance was cut in way less than 1/2. And the trigger pull weight was cut by 75% at least.

The GRT III trigger is all you said it would be right out of the Package.

Hi,

Just thought I would let you know how pleased I am with my new GRT-III trigger in my Gamo Whisper (.22cal.). I preformed the installation in about 5-10 minutes and had no problems at all - just followed the instructions. No adjustment were required!

The GRT-III has brought this rifle from the "sorry I ever bought this gun" to the "I really love it" status. The performance of this trigger is very close to the double set triggers I have on my muzzle loaders and much better than a lot of my standard trigger production firearms.

I wish everything I bought worked as well as the GRT-III.

Subject:  Hey Bob,

 When I got my Gamo Viper, I didn't even shoot it before I installed the trigger. The trigger was a breeze to install, being mechanically inclined; it took less than 5 minutes.  (2 minutes for installation, 3 for admiration of this masterpiece)  Overall it is beautiful trigger on a beautiful gun, what more could you ask for. How about an amazing SHOOTING gun?

I am so used to shooting around 3-6 lbs of trigger pull that when this thing fired I just laughed. My trigger was the smoothest action, and right when you hit that spot, it fires, precisely the same spot every-time. The pull is so light it’s almost effortless. In 2 hours I had already put 500 shots through the rifle.  I loved it so much but unfortunately I ran out of ammo.

Not only does the trigger add a special high class look to the rifle, it adds superior shooting economics, unmatched to any rifle I have ever shot.

I swapped out my target every 10 shots (50 Targets) the first few I used for sighting my rifle, I did this at 20 yards. By the 32nd target, the gun seemed to be broken in pretty well, and I was shooting shot clusters of 10 in the size of a DIME! (Obviously its 70% operator, 30% gear) But yes, it is the most accurate combination with the 3-9 X 40 Glass Etched BSA Riflescope, and your trigger. I mean dead bulls eyes.

 I love your trigger

P.S., I was at Kittery Trading Post in Kittery Maine the day before my stuff came and some guy was telling me that the best thing you can do with any Gamo rifle is buy the GRT-III trigger, I smiled laughed and told him that he had made my day since I had already purchased one for my new Gamo Viper.

Bob, the GRT lll trigger in my Gamo whisper is a great upgrade. Your shipping was very quick {3 days}. Installing per your directions was very simple. best part this has turned my rifle into a much better rifle. the trigger that came in the rifle was very lacking. The pull must have been three inches and at about nine pounds. new trigger is just right. Believe it is even smoother than the Volquartsen in my Ruger 10/22. it has made my Gamo much more accurate and fun to shoot. have noticed that the rifle is much more selective on pellets than I expected. have shot several different ones and it likes Beeman all purpose ones best. anyway you have a great product, great shipping, and made my rifle much better than new.

 Hi Charlie (Bob)

I just had to send a quick note to let you know that I received my GRT III today, and just finished installing and testing it.

I've read the testimonials on your website, but I guess I thought that some were a bit exaggerated, slinging so much praise. I was wrong.  I installed the trigger in my Gamo Whisper VH in about five minutes, no problems, and no hitches.  It's been raining all day here, but I wanted to try a few shots from my porch just for the hell of it.  I can't believe that this is the same gun. The trigger pull with the factory trigger was slow, heavy, and creepy and pretty much a crap shoot as to when it might release.

My first shot with the GRT III was a clean, crisp release, maybe 3lbs at most.

All I can say is UNBELIEVABLE! This is like the difference between a cheap double action revolver and a match grade rifle.  I can't even feel the smallest creep, it's absolutely amazing.  Thank you for making such a fantastic product.

 Hello Charlie,

 I just finished installing my trigger and here are my thoughts andcomments:

 "I want start off by saying I have NO prior gunsmithing experience.  With that said, installing the GRT-III was extremely easy and fast. I cannot emphasize how easy it was. I was very nervous about installing a trigger because I have never even taken apart an air rifle, much less install after market parts. It took me under 5 minutes to take apart my rifle and install it.  As for the trigger, $32 is a steal for what you are getting. It has made my Benjamin Super Streak a pleasure to shoot. Hats off to you Charlie for making a quality, high class trigger that really compliments my air rifle."

 Thanks again Charlie for the great trigger. I only wish I could install this trigger on any air rifle. :)

Bob/Charlie, I bought two of your GRT-III triggers about two years ago for my matching pair of Gamo CFX .177 and .22 air rifles, and I wanted to say those triggers are STILL fantastic. I have poured thousands of pellets down those rifles, and I can't help but smile each time I gently squeeze that beautiful gold trigger. These two rifles easily produce sub .25" five shot groups @ 25 yards, and the triggers make it considerably easier than the stock Gamo triggers. The durability is all anyone could hope for, and I am about to get my .22 CFX back with the Air Venturi gas ram installed, since the mainspring snapped. This should get very interesting. Oh, if you can, would you put this up on your Testimonials for the GRT-III page on your site?

I used to think that the trigger pull on my Ruger 10/22 was the absolute worst trigger from the factory imaginable, until I bought my Gamo Big Cat air rifle and found out what a truly horrible trigger was.  Likewise, I thought that the aftermarket trigger that I put in my 10/22 was the best upgrade that I had ever made on a gun until I installed the GRT-III trigger in my Gamo.  Without exaggeration, THE GRT-III TRIGGER IS THE MOST DRAMATIC UPGRADE THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN.  That one single upgrade changed my air gun from a item that was going to end up in next year’s yard sale into a one hole shooter at 50’.  I was skeptical when I read the testimonials, but now I am a believer and am telling everyone I know that owns a Gamo to buy one of your triggers.  I can’t wait for the guys at the range to see the difference.  Thanks from your biggest fan!

Hi Bob

Thanks for your prompt shipment, the trigger was almost too easy of an install, just took a couple of minutes and it was in. Couldn't wait to try it, even with out my new scope installed I just had to go outside and try it out, I have one word to describe it SMOOOOOTH, lol. I felt the difference right away, It really changed the way the rifle shot completely, No more waiting, what seems like an eternity for the gun to fire, and the trigger pull was perfect, I didn't change a thing. Can honestly say it was a valuable upgrade to my gamo big cat 1200. Gamo factory triggers do not do an air rifle justice at all. not very adjustable to me. But the GRT-III is really sweet. Not downgrading it at all, but I have one comment to add, I wish the one you make for the gamo was a bit longer, but thats just me I have rather large fingers, anyway thanks so much, GW.

Charlie,

  In one word UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I don't know why anyone would settle for junky trinket of a factory trigger, this is truly a night and day difference. The best part was installation, I was just scrolling thru instructions online one at a time and then....That's it???.... I was confused, I thought for sure I missed something. But no it was true I was done. Then I shot it, WOW what a nice crisp brake, UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Thank you again what a nice well crafted upgrade. I will recommend this product to everybody great job!!!

Subject:  Got the triggers last Friday

Bob,

I got the triggers last Friday.  They were easy to install and it only took about 40 minutes for both rifles (CFX and Super Streak).  The triggers did wonders for the two rifles. Before installing the triggers it was very tough to get respectable groups with the Super Streak and boy did I keep a sore trigger finger.  The CFX was just ok. But I knew I could squeeze more accuracy out of it with a few mods.  So after doing some research and reading the great reviews and results that others had gotten with their GRT Triggers, I had to give it a try.  Now, my rifles seems like they had major work, but just adding the trigger makes them feel and perform like different guns.  They are more enjoyable to shoot and I have the confidence that I will hit my target.

Wow! What an idea and product, finally I got a real difference maker that is well worth the money. I would highly recommend. Big Thanks,

Derrick

Thank you for your prompt response to my order. I am extremely pleased with the triggers. I installed one of them on a Crosman Storm. The results are amazing. The comparison of the stock trigger to the GRTIII trigger is, well, there is no comparison! The reduction in pull weight, feel, function, ease of installation, and installation support is incredible. I will definitely be a repeat customer. The quality of manufacture reminds me of a time when people actually took great pride in their work. Kudos on a great product and website.

Got an answer on that "sitting in Charlette" thing with the packages.  FedEx Express and FedEx Ground merged a couple years back.  In your locale if things are being shipped to certain parts of the country they get 'flown' out of Charlette to their destination hub airports where 'Ground" picks them up and disperses them.  Tadah!  Asked my shipping guy about it today at work.

Alright- so where do I submit a testimonial?

Bob, I received your GRT-III trigger this afternoon and installed it in a Remington Summit .177 cal air rifle.

Just like everyone else I feel that there is only one word to describe the transformation, that word is WOW!  I bought this air rifle and was very disappointed, not in the rifle overall but specifically in the trigger feel and action. As a matter of fact I was about to offer this rifle to my friends, give it away to anyone who wanted it. I was that disgusted.  Now I think I'll keep it.

I shot forty five pellets this afternoon fine tuning the zero on the scope at 30 yards and was able to put three almost on top of one another, my worst group was a little larger than the size of a half dollar and this was when the wind picked up.

The trigger installed easily and as per the instructions on your website. There were no surprises. You've done a great thing for people that are going to shoot these rifles.

Thank you,

Subject:   The Trigger

Hi Bob,

        Just recieved the trigger this afternoon and had already read through the pfd files I downloaded from your site.  I have done trigger jobs on Ruger 10/22's, Remington shot guns and a Colt AR15, all of which were not too bad.  Now when it comes to putting in your trigger in my Whisper, I've never seen such an easy job.  It was the quickest and simple, straight forward installation.  The only thing I had to do was take the rifle down again because of a small plastic roller that goes into a guide in the stock, it fell off the peg and I missed that putting it all together.  Now to the meat of the issue is the trigger worth it.

I couldn't believe the feel and let go of this trigger.  Surprised me on the first pull.  What a great job you did on this trigger.  It is worth every penny and if anyone buys an air rifle they should do your trigger job before they sight in the rifle.  I have owned this rifle only one month and didn't like the creepy trigger in it right from the start.  I talked to a gun smith a Ace Hardware in Lacrosse Wis and he turned me on to your web site.  He said the trigger is well worth it he did your trigger job for a customer.  When he fired it is was really impressed with it.  I took his advise and glad I did.  I will be showing this rifle to other air gunners in the area.  I wish I had 2 Whispers to show the before and after but this rifle will now speak for itself.  Now the brag sheet.  I have been shooting all my life and was a high firer of the battalion 98 out of 100 for score with the M16 A1.  Now with this trigger job I will be able to improve on that one.

Thanks Bob for the job you did in the design of this trigger.  It is well worth it and now I enjoy this rifle.  Keep up the good work.

Subject:   Byproduct of your GRT-III trigger 

Dear Charlie:

While I have previously written to you to express my gratitude for your having created such a fine product in the GRT-III, I’d also like to pass on to you a little byproduct of what it is your trigger has done for my oldest son.

As a little bit of a background, my son suffers from a mild learning disorder.  He is in a classroom setting where he receives extra attention in the subjects which most frequently cause him trouble, ie., math and reading.  Partially, as a result of this extra attention, he exhibits signs of low self-esteem.  While I go out of my way to tell him how great a job he is doing in school, it’s obvious to me this extra attention causes him some anxiety.

My reason for getting into air guns was a result of my trying to find something both boys and I could do as a family.  Both of them love to shoot rimfire and centerfire and the oldest is actually a pretty fair shot with a revolver/semi-auto and a rifle.  Unfortunately, not knowing anything about air guns prior to buying a Gamo Viper and 220, I just happened to pick the brand of rifle with the worst triggers available.

Prior to purchasing your trigger, I told the boys they simply needed to practice with their rifles in order to keep getting better.  While some of the groups the boys would shoot were actually quite good, the occasional flyer would often spoil the results.  It was obvious to me their trigger fingers were getting sore from pulling so hard on the stock Gamo trigger; hence, this led to the occasional flyer.

My oldest was actually becoming quite discouraged, and I found him sinking back into the mood of “I’m just not good enough.”  Then…I purchased your trigger.

On our first outing together, my oldest son’s eyes actually “lit up” when he saw the group he produced with the GRT-III trigger.  He simply couldn’t believe how well he was shooting and how tight he could hold his groups.  He was happier then I’d seen him in quite some time and all traces of the “I’m not good enough,” feeling was gone.   I swear he must have come up and shown me one target at least 5 times, he was so proud of it.  Of course, so was I.

He just recently graduated from the 15 yard course I’d set up in the woods behind my home, to the 30 yard course.  At 15 yards, after installing your trigger, he could keep 6 shots within a span I could cover with the fingernail on my little finger.  At 30 yards, he can already keep 6 shots within a one inch circle I draw on a piece of paper as an aiming point.  My next step is to put him on the 50 yard course and see how well he does.

Charlie, the transformation in him is just astounding.  His whole attitude about joining his little brother and I as we head out to shoot has totally changed.  He’s now eager to finish his homework when he gets home from school so we can go back to “our” range.

I realize that as a tuner and businessman, you’re interested in making money and building a happy clientele.  Sometimes though, you actually DO touch people in ways you might not fully expect.  You certainly did in this case, and I couldn’t be happier about it.

Sincerely,

Bob Petty

 Thank you.  I have built and repaired things from The original gas powered Hoffco trimmers in the late 60's to 200 ton cranes in the 80's and 90's and now computers. 
 
This was the easiest and most straight forward replacemnt I have ever done.  Everything on your end worked as shown and from my end I didn't even lose the "jesus clip."
 
I bought the CFX last fall.  It was supposed to be accurate anmd was relatively inexpensive and Pyramid air had a garage sale so I picked up and open box even cheaper than the retsil price by 50 bucks.  I figured if I didn't enjoy it I could get a goodportion of my investment back. 
 
I had believed the stories about the Gamo trigger breaking in.  It didn't.   After approximately 3000 shots it still stuck on occasion and never quite released the same for more than 3 or 4 shots in a row.
 
I ordered your trigger last Thursday and it arrived today.  I spent more time opening the envelope and rereading the instructions than I did diassembling and reassembling the gun.
 
20 shots in a hole smaller than a quarter.  It is only 45 feet but it was a huge improvement for me  No stringing side to side

Hi Bob, thanks for the quick response. I haven't received the trigger yet, I just jumped the gun ! Ha Ha. (I ordered this at the same time I ordered my new Crosman Phantom springer. From experience it's the same trigger as Gamo) Anyway, I know already that it will be here quickly as the two before. I just wanted everyone who reads, that this is a worthwhile and cheap investment to make your airgun a whole lot better in terms of accuracy and looks. What a fine yet ordinary example of American Ingenuity. The two previous triggers (GRT-III of course) I installed have worked marvelously and I am nothing short of being impressed. Installation and function is very simple (almost too simple). This is a First Class item for what it is and greatly enhances even the so called lower caste of air guns. I will be back.
Thank you Bob,

I have a Gamo Whisper, which I was planning on replacing due to its inaccuracy.  A new quality air rifle was going to run ~$200-300 and then I came upon the GRT-III recommendation and thought I'd give it a try. I received the trigger and installed it within 15 minutes.  I am not mechanically inclined and was sure I'd screw up the installation but it was very straight forward with the downloaded instructions.  I couldn't believe the change it made...1/2-1 inch groupings @ 30 yds ( I was lucky to get 6 inch groupings with the factory trigger). This morning I tried it out on the gophers in our field...two out of the first three shots found their mark (the third was a 60 yd shot).  To anyone with a Gamo, you MUST buy the GRT-III trigger, it will transform your piece of crap into a very accurate air rifle.

 Just a short note to thank you for sending me one of your GRT III Triggers. I received it yesterday and installed it in about 15 minutes today. It has transformed a recently inherited .177 cal. Gamo pellet rifle from an interesting projectile propelling toy into a serious shooting iron.

 Great product. Incredible service. It arrived in the mail a couple of days after I ordered it.

Hi Bob

I wanted to drop a few lines about your GRT-lll Trigger. This trigger is Absolutely Fantastic. You are a Genius and a God Send too all of us. With your Trigger youhave transformed my Crosman Sierra Pro from an air rifle I would occasionally shoot, too one I find hard to stop shooting. It is now on my list of favorites. Your trigger is so easy to install with your instructions, it’s incredible.

 Since installing the GRT-lll trigger these are some of the changes in the performance of the Sierra Pro:

 1. The trigger pull went from 88oz.(5.5lbs.) too 24oz.(1.5lbs.)

 2. The trigger has gone from a rough travel with a heavy break too a smooth travel with a very crisp light but manageable break.

3. It has shrunk my groups @ 33 feet from 1 inch too 3/16 of an inch

4. Not to mention it also adds to the aesthetic looks of the gun. And all for a very fair price.

I Can't Thank You Enough. I am finally getting what I expected from theSierra Pro.

 Your triggers are amazing.  I have a Gamo that I was about ready to toss in the garbage.  It wasn't accurate, the trigger was mushy and all in all, a piece of junk.  I ordered your trigger as a last ditch effort.  I wasn't expecting much of a change, but after installing the trigger it's the most accurate tack driver I've ever owned.  I'm able to hit the bulls consistently at 50 yards.  Excellent product and worth every penny, thank you!

RE: Incredible

Bob,

Got the trigger in today's mail.  I recently purchased a Crosman Quest 1000 and the reason that I purchased the trigger was because the factory trigger required a tremendous amount of trigger pull to shoot.  Adjustment of the supposedly 2 stage trigger did nothing other than shorten the second stage while increasing the free play of the first stage.  I am used to shooting big bore and varmint rifles that have a 1 to 2 lb trigger pull and was looking to improve the feel of the Quest 1000 to that of what I was used to.

So I was a little apprehensive that your product would perform as advertised. 

The installation went smoothly and as the instructions indicated it took about 15 minutes to do the install.

I did not do any modifications to the first or second stages and the trigger housing was real clean without any sharp edges so there was not any modifications that was required in that respect.  The safety engaged without any problem and the trigger pull was noticeably lighter which is what I was hoping to achieve. 

After assembly I test fired a few shots at my target in the back yard and the difference was incredible. The trigger pull was smooth and consistent from shot to shot.  It has made this air rifle a real pleasure to shoot.

I am duly impressed with this trigger and am glad that I made the decision to buy it and I will definitely recommend it to my friends that have air rifles that can accommodate this trigger.

 Thank you for a very superior product.

Respectfully,

Hi Bob

A word of thanks for the prompt service I received.
From activation of my PayPal account to notification of payment received and order confirmation, took only 2½ hours.

I received the GRT-III in my post box a bit more than a week ago. It took 10 days from placement of order to my post box. Not bad for standard mail from the US to South Africa.

Installation in my son's GAMO Shadow 1000 was straight forward with the help of the supplied instructions, and the whole process including lubrication took no more than 20 minutes.

I tested the rifle at 10 meters (33 ft) and WHAT A DIFFERENCE. The first shot went off before I realized that I had pulled through the second stage. When using the standard trigger, I would sometimes run out of breath before the shot went off, due to the heavy pull and long creep. A few test shots later I got the feel of the trigger and proceeded to shoot some groupings.

A five shot grouping of 7mm (0.27 inch) using H&N Barracuda Extra Heavy .177 was easily attained. I would struggle to get anything close to this with the standard trigger and unpredictable pull.

The GRT-III trigger has transformed the rifle from a "Why the hell did I buy this", to a "Hey this ain't half bad at all".

I highly recommend this Trigger to anyone who has ever had the misfortune of having to use a standard GAMO Trigger.

Thank you for a GREAT product and an excellent WEB Site.

Absolutely great, - no comparison with the factory trigger. This trigger is very easily installed, is "quick" and has an "easy touch" to it. I also have a Gamo Whisper, which I'll be ordering a GRT-III for this coming week. Also can't say enough about the quick turn-around and service after the order. I would highly recommend anyone who's "thinking about it" - to go ahead and buy one.

Subject: Freshly tuned Whisper

I recently had my new Whisper Deluxe tuned by Bob (Charlie Da Tuna). I can't begin to tell you how happy I am with the whole experience, just great service all the way around.
I've had it back for a few weeks, the first thing that I did was mount a new Leapers 3-9X44 scope on it with a 1 piece Accushot mount. I had issues with the scope creeping with the factory set up, so far the new gear is working perfectly. I already installed the GRT-III trigger, that went in after the very first time that I shot the gun. I also stuffed some foam down in the stock, I think that's helping dampen things down a bit.

 So far I've only managed to squeeze about 100 rounds through it due to the cold weather here and I know that it's going to take quite a few more before it's really broke in but man I just can't believe how nice it's shooting already. Now keep in mind that this is my first springer or air rifle aside from my little Daisy when I was a kid, so I don't have anything to really gauge it by. I do know the recoil seems to be about 1/3 of what it used to be and it's much quieter and just all around smoother. There was a little hitch in the cocking mechanism before the tune and now that's like butter. As for the noise, it's makes less noise than the little Crossman C11 CO2 pistol I have.

I can't thank you enough Bob, you were a pleasure to deal with.

 Bob,

The GRT-III arrived today, thank you for a quality product!

I tend to tell things like I see them, no BS here ever, if it's a spade I say so, if it smells like a Rose I say so. With that said I must admit I am nearly overwhelmed in this small dealing with you. The GRT-III is indeed the unit I saw installed in a Gamo David Slade had last year (I wasn't sure before receiving ours) but even after seeing I had ordered the correct unit my skill certainly do not match "The Trigger Man's" however after looking at the most comprehensive detailed documented instructions I have ever seen for anything I felt I would attempt installation myself (David had offered to help if needed) and a most satisfying few minutes of work it was.

 After just a few test shots I went ahead and adjusted both the first and second stage (it did arrive set well for most peoples use, just good to go, but this is going to be a back-up/loaner FT rifle and I wanted to see what it would do and I feel it will be most adequate for my intended purpose.

 You sell a fine product and set a standard for instructions so high no one I have dealt with even comes close. Also your prompt communications and shipping are A+. I will be posting a small review on airgun advice and will highly recommend doing business with you to anyone.

Hi  Bob
Just wanted to tell you to add me to your long list of satisfied customers. I recently bought a Gamo Varmint hunter and although I loved the gun I hated the trigger from the start. I started doing some internet research and soon came up with the GRT-III trigger ,after reading all the testimonials I decided to try it and im glad I did. It was very easy to install with the great instructions you provide , and it makes all the difference in the world in your shooting. I went from three inch groups at 25 yards to same hole groups. I have no use for a gun that I can't shoot  accurately and your trigger transformed my gun.  If you own a Gamo rifle you owe it to yourself to spend another $32 and get this trigger you wont be disappointed , isn't that why you bought your gun  to start with , to be able to shoot well ?

Es una pena que este gatillo no sea tan conocido en España, por eso daré mis impresiones en español, para que más gente pueda disfrutar de esta mejora para las carabinas Gamo. Después de todo, se fabrica en mi país y es nuestro amigo americano Charlie el que se encargado de mejorarla.
Yo no soy un experto en carabinas y no hablaré de tecnicismos, presión del gatillo o fases, pero sí que puedo decir que mejora considerablemente la precisión a la hora de disparar. Las palabras de mi mujer la primera vez que lo probó lo resumen todo: ¿ya está? Y es que es tan suave que casi no hace falta hacer presión. La sensación de calidad es evidente. Por lo que vale, es altamente recomendable.
Lo que puede echar para atrás es su instalación, chupado. Me llevó menos de 3 minutos montarlo y es realmente complicado hacerlo mal siguiendo las instrucciones disponibles en la web. Pero como es mejor verlo que contarlo, aquí tenéis un video

 English:

It's a pity that the factory trigger is not popular in Spain, that's why I write my impressions in Spanish, so more people can enjoy this improvement for gamo airguns. After all, it's made in my country and our American friend Charlie is who has been responsible of its improve.

I'm not an expert in airguns and I won't use technical words, pressure of the trigger or steps, but what I can say is that it really improves the precision when you shoot. My wife's words summaries everything the first time she used it: done already? It's so smooth than you almost don't have to press. The quality feeling is clear. For its price, it's a must.

What can make you hesitate is its installation, piece of cake. It took me less than 3 minutes to install and it's really hard to do it wrong if you follow the instructions of the website. But is better to watch than to tell it, so here you have a video:

Hi Bob,

I received the trigger and fitted it that evening to my Gamo Whisper, it was a breeze! Your installation instructions are well detailed and very easy to follow. The overall finish of the trigger is excellent, no burrs or other imperfections and the tooling is all perfectly finished. Small details that so many manufacturers seem to overlook these days.

 Bob,
Jeeze man... what a transformation!
This Chinese turd (SMK-19) of a rifle has just become a precision instrument. I was already making 6 out of 10 shots in a row (surprising for this quality of gun) but now I've fitted your GRT-III I've just hit 9 out of 10! I only shoot in the backyard but I can feel a hunting trip coming on.

Great product, Bob and thanks for the fast turnaround. I still can't believe the action.

My wife ordered the GRT III for me for my Whisper .22 and not only was Charlie's turnaround quick and painless but the product is great too.  I installed it today in about 15 minutes.  I don't know much about gun internals but the excellent directions and pictorial helped quite nicely.

So what is the difference for me?  I would loose my breath trying to pull the stock trigger consistently and have to re hold all the time.  I think that Gamo must err on the side of stupidity.  What I mean by that is that the trigger is so hard to pull through the "2nd stage" that they must have made it that way on purpose so that those "special" people that don't practice proper safe shooting techniques and walk around with their finger on the trigger of a loaded gun don't shoot by accident.  Now the trigger is very light but you can feel the 2nd stage.  2nd stage is quite short and quick and I think that this is perfect as the it requires almost no effort to pull though but you do feel it.  I can't wait to see how my groups will improve now as I know the heavy 2nd stage was so heavy that I had difficulty not shifting the sight picture when I finally pulled hard enough to get through the factory 2nd stage.

Thanks for a great product and service.  The only improvement I can think of is to offer it in other finishes (nickle, pewter, black anodized, etc) in addition to the standard gold.

Subject: GRT-III Trigger - WOW!!!

 I'm so impressed with Bob's aka Charlie's GRT-III Trigger, I thought I'd share my letter to him:

Dear Bob,

I ordered your GRT-III trigger on Sunday and received it today, Wednesday. Thanks for the fast shipping. I had it installed in my old .177 caliber Gamo Hunter 220 (made in Spain) in less than 15 minutes using your excellent written and picture instructions. First thing I noticed was your incredible workmanship. Your pin tolerances were absolutely perfect in my rifle. Next, I quickly got out in the back yard and set up my old Marksman pellet trap and "homemade" targets.

You were exactly right - WOW! What a difference your GRT-III trigger makes. It took me a few shots to get used to the new lighter, crisper feel. But, soon I was shooting better groups than ever before. I had always had trouble shooting good groups with the stock trigger. Now even my "plinking" pellets are grouping better. As you mentioned, the GRT-III trigger doesn't necessarily improve the accuracy of the rifle, but it sure does improve the accuracy of the shooter!!!

Thanks again, Bob. WOW!

Sincerely,
George Garrett

Subject: RE: GRT-III trigger in my Gamo Whisper with gas ram

This is an email sent to Bob, "Charlie" earlier today.

I ordered the trigger online Monday, 29 Dec 2008. It arrived today, Wednesday, 31 Dec 2008

WOW. That had to be the easiest and most worthwhile investment of 2008. I have a GAMO Whisper, with modified gas ram, and I think from opening the packing envelope to having it installed was about 30 minutes, including the time spent looking for my torx set, and firing a “Before” 3 shot test string. I used the pdf instructions direct off my laptop. Attached is the scanned target from my test. The top is three shots, offhand, with the original factory trigger. The lower is after installation of your GRT-III. Again three shots offhand, both fired with Beeman Crow Magnum pellets. The “flyer” on the lower target was the first shot and I was expecting a jerk, or difficult pull, like with the original trigger. That’s what you get, squeeze hard with a silky trigger and you get down and right. All I can say is smooth. With a little more practice and I’m sure it will be shooting one hole groups. Not bad for a plinking fun gun. Thanks for making it easy.

It has made a HUGE improvement. Thanks

Thank you, I received the triggers in amazing time. I'm just impressed by that fact alone. I installed both on my 800 & 1000 Quest Crosmans. Yes, not a Diana,Beeman, Gamo or otherwise, just the poor man's airgun, and what a difference it made. This single, simple, addition made it possible to bust walnuts at 30 yards plus with the addition of good mounts and sights. I like to hunt, so this added an exceptional addition that was the ULTIMATE REWARD in upgrading any of my several air guns. I would challenge anyone out there to a civil shooting match no matter what gun you may have. No kidding, this item just enhanced my ability ten fold. So Much for that and have a decent Christmas and New Year (09 remember). Thank you, Bob, for such great old fashioned service.

 Hello Charlie,

Holy smoke, I don’t know what kind of alchemy you used to make the trigger, but man it has transformed my gamo 220, from 1.75 inch grouper at 30 yards, to a ½ incher at the same distance. I did not have the money for the tune, so I bought the trigger and added a recoil pad. It feels as if I now have a highly tuned precision rifle in my hands. Today two tree rodents were just under 30yards from me barking at each other. I took the one facing me from a standing of hand shot right behind the ear. I reloaded, breathed settled my crosshairs lightly squeezed the grt and the second squirrel fell the victim of a head shot also. The only reason for any of you perspective buyers not making this purchase might be your reluctance in becoming a mass murderer of critters. This is the best bang for the buck by far.

 Thank you grand wizard of airgun triggers!

Bob,
I wanted to let you know about my experience with your trigger.  I was a little skeptical that the installation would be simple from the level of detail in your instructions.  I installed the trigger on a Gamo Shadow Sport.  It was probably the easiest fix/upgrade I've ever done on any firearm/pellet gun.  It dropped right in, no fitting, filing, polishing, adjusting necessary.

The improvement to the pellet gun is unbelievable.  This one simple inexpensive upgrade will increase the enjoyment I get out of the this gun 10 fold!  I have never felt a trigger like this on an air rifle.

Thank you!

I just installed my GRT-III trigger in my Gamo Shadow 1000...and....WOW!
I can't believe it's the same gun! I'm going to wear this thing out now, it hasn't seem much use in the past because of the horrible trigger but now......
If you haven't picked up one of these triggers yet, you better. I can't say enough, I've had this rifle for 2 years now and only played around with it now and then; still shot great groups at 30 yards but I just didn't care for the way the trigger felt. Then I got lucky and ran into a guy at a gun show who told me about Bob aka CharlieDaTuna and his trigger. I love my Gamo now....I even bought a trigger for my buddy, he'll get it tomorrow, he's going to freak.

Dear Bob (aka Charlie)

       Can't say enough about this trigger. I ordered it Friday, received it on Monday at 2:30pm, and was shooting dime size groups from 30 yds by 2:45pm. Those of you with Gamo's (Whisper, Varmint) look out for that roller pin when you remove the receiver- it tends to have a mind of its own. Luckily, as Bob mentioned in the installation, I was expecting it to fall out. I can't get over how light the trigger pull is.... my first shot went off well before I was expecting it to. The first stage was like butter- very short travel until you feel that slight stop before second stage. Once you hit the 2nd stage, all you have to do is breath on it to discharge. Those of you with Gamo's or any other compatible rifle should SERIOUSLY consider this upgrade... I never realized how bad the factory trigger is until I installed it. I've got a Beeman R7, and the feel of Bob's trigger in my whisper blows it away.

Thanks again,

Hi Charlie,

I had bought a Cabela’s Sportsman and the trigger on it was even usable!  I’ve had a lot of air guns but I haven’t bought any new ones in a long while. If this is the way all the new triggers are I wonder how people even hit a target from 25 yards out!  After the first shot out of the gun I was ready to take it back. Instead I tried the trigger adjustments that they had installed on the gun. This made no difference or maybe even made it worse. Took the gun apart only after about 10 shots and looked at the trigger mechanism and was not happy with the looks of the prefab, cheap looking mechanics of  the anything inside there!  The gun looks great and you would never expect something so cheap looking inside it! It is like buying a Corvette with a cheap undersized metal pressed steering wheel rapped in rubber. After thinking about modifying the trigger and going thru a lot of headaches, I looked on the internet thinking someone had to figure out this problem already. First sight I come to is Charlie the Tuna! Funny I have a good friend we call the same. Charlie says he has it all figured out. Well I got the trigger less than a week after I ordered it and installed it as soon as I got home!  It took me a whole 10 minutes!   “It was a new gun”!  The instructions where very easy to follow and the trigger falls right into place like it belongs there! Nice work Charlie! It is great to see that there is still some real craftsmen out there!  Great Job and Great product! Thanks for saving me the from the headaches of working on the trigger myself or even taking the gun back!

Thanks

Subject: GRT-III Triggers Arrived

 Dear Bob,

I ordered your GRT-III last Sunday night and it came in the mail Thursday. Thanks for the speedy service! The new trigger is for a 177 cal. Gamo Hunter 890S. The rifle has about 3500 shots thru it. It was a very hard gun to shoot consistently. I was sorry I bought this gun. It seemed like every time I picked it up, I had to sight it in. I used to have a 30 year old Beeman C1. Only had to sight it in when I changed pellet styles. I was always wondering what was I doing wrong with the Gamo gun. I have read all about how to hold an air rifle, breathing techniques, pellets, changes in temperature, etc. I never had any trouble with the Beeman, I just pointed and shot and rarely missed. By mistake I left the Beeman cocked for several weeks. Thinking that I had ruined the spring, I gave it to a friend and bought the Gamo hunter 890S.

Well, like everybody else seems to say; WOW! Your trigger conversion is great! Installation was easy. Took my time. Since the stock was off, I oiled the trigger assembly like you suggested as well as the barrel pivot points, spring and any other linkage. Then I installed the new trigger and put the stock back on. Total time spent, twenty-five minutes.

The gun is totally different. Now I get nickel size groups at 30 yards, every time! I can't believe it. For two years I was sorry I gave my Beeman away. Not anymore! My Gamo Hunter is shooting great! After I sighted it in with your trigger installed, I shot five English Sparrows and one Blue Jay, all perched on a power line, with six shots at about 30 yards. Before the trigger UPGRADE, I always felt lucky when I hit a bird, squirrel or bullseye. Now I shoot with confidence! DEADLY AGAIN!

 Yours truly,

Bob McKinney

Hi Bob

I received all four of my triggers today. I was really surprised that they came so quickly. Thanks for the great service. It took me a half hour to install all four, so that part was easy. Then I took them all outside to shoot a couple of rounds. Bob I don't know what to say. You must be some genius. I'm sure you need to receive some award for these triggers. All four my rifles have been transformed from OK to phenomenal. I didn't even adjust them. They work perfectly the way you set them up. I could not believe that some small metal component that arrives in a brown envelope can make such a huge difference. Bob, what also impressed me was the quality of the triggers and the tolerances. Everything fitted together perfectly, without being too tight or too loose. They also look great in the rifles. I saw some guys asking for a different colour, but the gold really works for me. Thanks for the great product and great service. I don't know what more to say. I was a little frustrated with my Gamo's. I really like them and have learned to live with the triggers. Now they are perfect. I also have two Diana's a Hatsan 1250 and an AR1000. As far as trigger feel goes now, the Gamo's are way ahead, and that's saying a lot considering I'm used to Diana triggers.

Hey Bob,

Received your GRTIII trigger the other day for my Gamo Varmit Hunter. I saw other post that said even a cave man could do it...so I figured here goes! My first surprise was when the trigger housing popped out and things went flying! After multiple swear words and promises to God if only He's get me through this, I got the trigger in. I did go back and forth thru the pictures on my computer a few times because I had all these left over pieces and I thought that I really screwed up.

Your GRT trigger is so great in its simplicity! After I had it back together and test fired it, I actually thought I was shooting someone else’s gun! The trigger pull was so smooth that at this point I don't even want to mess with it. A nice crisp break!

I just picked up the old trigger and looked at it and thought "what a cheap piece of crap!" Yours is a quality item and it even makes my Gamo look good!

Anyone out there reading this??? (I know its at the bottom of a thousand other testimonials)...This is the best investment (at an unheard of price)  you can make for your air rifle.

Thanks again,

Subject: Re: Comments from Russia on GRT-III installation

Good day

I received GRT trigger 3 weeks ago (huge thanks!) and now I guess it’s time to sum up the results.

First, some words about the rifle.

Mine is Gamo CFX Royal, produced late 2007, upgraded with Russian-made gas spring. Gas spring force is set to 59 kg (tuned for optimal performance with Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum 10,5 grain pellet, which I prefer most for quality/accuracy/price reasons). Other upgrades include custom-made piston seal with zero “dead volume”. 

Spring and seal are both made by “Petrucha” – well-known Russian custom airgun and parts maker (and researcher, he’s highly respected for that part).  Optics is Leapers 3-9x40 MilDot installed on Diana Special Magnum mount.

Using all this I can achieve 8-11 mm groups of 5 pellets @ 25m with ease. Sometimes, irregularly, groups shrink down to 6 mm, but that’s just luck I guess. At 50m best average groups tend to grow up to about 25mm and pellet starts to loose speed – so I got to aim close to 1 mil upwards. Longest aimed shots I remember were some 75m just to test grouping, which was about 50-60 mm. All in all, my rifle made me proud many times.

Thing that made me wish for more was the trigger: too long a pull (about 20+ mm), too much force to be applied, too little info from the movement (“first stage” was just compressing the spring). I felt that trigger was the weak spot – long heavy pull made my rifle “want too much” about holding it steady and  sometimes resulted in failed groups.

Of course, I polished all the surfaces, screwed in all the screws and did some voodoo about the springs, added some washers etc. but all that could not solve the problem the way I wanted.

I asked my friend Alexey (he is a frequent e-bay buyer, so he knows ins and outs) to make a deal. Then you received my letter and voila – GRT is mine.

Installation went easy and smooth, with no trouble at all. In fact, it's so simple that it's almost impossible to do something wrong way.

First things noticed: trigger pull became featherweight. Travel dropped to 11 mm and it was real 2 stages, articulated and informative. After installation I shot about 50 pellets in the air, just to make iron sit back into wood. Then I retightened screws and the real shooting began.

First of all, @25m bullets holes “jumped” some 20 mm higher from their usual impact point. I think that’s the first result of a lighter trigger pull – heavy pull makes the barrel to travel some parts of mm downwards. A little bit of clicking with the scope did the trick.

Groups didn’t change much – it was still 5 pellets in 8-11 mm groups @25m, however there are more “doubles” and “triples” and I even noticed some “cloverleaves” – 4 bullets fly through almost same hole in the paper. Groups @50m were still close to 25 mm, but with 2 or 3 holes much closer together than the others.

What really changed is the ease of handling and overall control of the rifle. And it feels great. My rifle became more “forgiving” and easy to shoot. Of course, I think it’ll take some hundred shots more to get full understanding of rifle’s new behavior, to tune up pull and travel to optimum and got used to all of its new advantages.

GRT is a truly great stuff. I highly recommend it to every "marksman" Gamo-user, however, "hunters" should use it with care: light pull and short travel make it not so safe in forest.

Thank you and best regards

Hi Charlie and to say I received the trigger to day. I have done the installation and all I can say is SENSATIONAL and above all your trigger has the most PROFOUND EFFECT ON GROUPING.

Your grouping comes down dramatically because now you can concentrate on composing your shot without having to worry about heavy trigger pull. My trigger pull is so light now I can hardly feel it. No extra setting was needed.

Good luck Charlie and thanks.

I didn't even need the instructions,  you just replace your trigger with this one... I dare say "It's so easy a caveman could do it!"

  I am less accurate now with this, because I'm accustomed to SUCKY TRIGGERS. But that's my fault not the trigger's.

My one gripe is the andonization in Gold. I try to keep a military M40 look about my pellet gun... 1.5-6X44 Leapers swat scope, Accushot Low profile 1 piece mount,

G'Day Charlie,

I have just installed your GRT III Trigger into my new Gamo CFX Air Rifle, and have to say the difference it has made to the feel of shooting it absolutely amazing. With the stock trigger fitted I sometimes had to stop and take another breath in between the shot as it was a firm pull and taking a steady shot would take forever. Now with the GRT III trigger installed it is a much lighter, and a very, very smooth pull. Installation was a breeze, I had the word file and the PDF file on display while doing the install, and it was that easy that I really just followed the pictures from the PDF install file.

The GRT III is great value and anyone that has an Air Rifle that takes this trigger and still has the stock trigger installed, do yourself a favor and get one of these triggers ASAP, I guarantee you will not be disappointed, the difference is like comparing a cheap car to a Mercedes Benz.

Thanks again Charlie, I'm going back outside to do some more shooting!!

I could not believe that 3 hours from ordering on-line I would get an email confirming payment, and telling me the trigger was already in the post, bloody good service! 8 days later it arrived, and 15 minutes later I was out shooting with my new trigger installed.

Charlie or Rob whichever you prefer. I want to thank you for not only your professionalism. But your true skill. My friend i am deeply satisfied with the way that my cfx now performs. When i first unpacked the gun and cocked the handle down i almost thought that the thing was broke it was so smooth. Upon first shooting the gun i realized that Gamo has a fine jewel if only they would hire you as there tuner. I mean wow it isnt even close to the same gun i first shot. As i have not fully broke it in of course it allready groups so much better. The trigger is soo nice, and the gun itself is much much easier to shoot. I have noticed a much more forgiving shot, and a nice solid thunk instead of a twang. If this is posted on your site from the deepest part of my heart this man is good. Best money i ever spent on any pellet rifle. I have had a few from rws to even a few beemans i loved them all but i have to say the Gamo is a lot of bang for the money as long as Charlie works on it.

Hi Bob

A word of thanks for the prompt service I received.
From activation of my PayPal account to notification of payment received and order confirmation, took only 2½ hours.

I received the GRT-III in my post box a bit more than a week ago. It took 10 days from placement of order to my post box. Not bad for standard mail from the US to South Africa.

Installation in my son's GAMO Shadow 1000 was straight forward with the help of the supplied instructions, and the whole process including lubrication took no more than 20 minutes.

I tested the rifle at 10 meters (33 ft) and WHAT A DIFFERENCE. The first shot went off before I realized that I had pulled through the second stage. When using the standard trigger, I would sometimes run out of breath before the shot went off, due to the heavy pull and long creep. A few test shots later I got the feel of the trigger and proceeded to shoot some groupings.

A five shot grouping of 7mm (0.27 inch) using H&N Barracuda Extra Heavy .177 was easily attained. I would struggle to get anything close to this with the standard trigger and unpredictable pull.

The GRT-III trigger has transformed the rifle from a "Why the hell did I buy this", to a "Hey this ain't half bad at all".

I highly recommend this Trigger to anyone who has ever had the misfortune of having to use a standard GAMO Trigger.

Thank you for a GREAT product and an excellent WEB Site.

Bob,

I ordered my Gamo CFX air rifle and GRT-III trigger at the same time.  The trigger arrived, flawless, and in a minimal amount of time.  The rifle just arrived (a week after the trigger)...my hat is off to you for service, shipping and now support! 

I was a little scared at first to disassemble the new air rifle, but it had the Air Venturi piston installed by the guys at Pyramid Air, so I figured I'd give it a whirl.  Plus, you sent excellent detailed instructions with both written words and illustrations to boot. 

I put the rifle, the trigger, some tools and my laptop on my workbench and started working.  To my surprise, it took me less than 5 minutes to remove the receiver, install the trigger and put everything back together again.  An even greater surprise was firing it after the new trigger was installed! 

Prior to installing your masterpiece of a trigger I zeroed in my new Centerpoint 3-9 X 50mm scope.  It took more than a few pellets due to the "when is it going to fire" factory trigger.  However, after the trigger install, the rifle fires consistently everytime and is much more predictable.  You have done a great job with this product and I appreciate the added upgrade.  Keep up the good work and safe shooting.

Hey, Charlie..I really appreciate your help the last couple days. I just thought I'd write a little review for you to post on your website as a thank you.

I ordered the GRT III for my Remington Summit and in mere days the trigger was in my mailbox. I was truly shocked at how fast I received it. After rushing it inside, the installation couldn't have been easier and the performance afterwards was astonishing. The draw went from being heavy, long, and unpredictable to having a light and clean break, which really improved my group sizes. Unfortunately, I wore out the safety latch on my gun, so I'll be returning the rifle before long. I emailed Charlie to ask for his opinion on which gun to upgrade to and that’s when I was surprised yet another time. Unlike the run around customer service I've grown used to these days, I was promptly responded to, not just on one but to all of my questions.  He directed me to the Diana 34 and because GRT III isn't compatible with the RWS models, he offered to reimburse the expense of the trigger. This shows that he genuinely cares about the happiness of his customers and not just his profit. While I won't be needing the trigger anymore, I'll surely be back for a tune up at a later date because of the sincerity I've witnessed.

Thanks again,

Wes

Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that I received the GRT III I purchased from (and quick too, only 2 or 3 days) and I just got thru installing the trigger (finally had time) and the first shot was AMAZING.  The first words out of my mouth were "HOLY MOLY!"  It has only taken one shot to realize that this is a totally different gun than I bought.  I was shocked and thrilled.  Very, very smooth!  I am not a very good shot with any type of gun (bowhunter only), but with this trigger and my Gamo CFX Combo. the squirrels and varmits around my house better watch out.   No more digging in my yard or my wife's flower pots. All I can say is "Thank you" for making such a fine product for a very reasonable price.

Subject: RAPID INSTALLATION

Not being a clock watcher I forgot to record the time it took me to install my new trigger in my CFX, but it didn't take me as long as it took to make a cup of coffee in the microwave . I will be ordering one for my wife as a jewel for her charm bracelet. The trigger pull went from 64 oz. to 24 oz. in one move, the take up is just how I would set it, the offhand groups went down by a huge margin. If any one has any doubts, put them aside and get one of these triggers ASAP, and start realizing your potential and that of your equipment when you have installed one. Here on the East coast we do not put up with any BS and this trigger marches to that drummer. an OUTSTANDING PIECE , thanks for your development efforts and cost containment and perfect example of Yankee (HE HE ) ingenuity.,Sincerely, Maurice

Hi Bob

Thanks for your prompt shipment, the trigger was almost too easy of an install, just took a couple of minutes and it was in. Couldn't wait to try it, even with out my new scope installed I just had to go outside and try it out, I have one word to describe it SMOOOOOTH, lol. I felt the difference right away, It really changed the way the rifle shot completely, No more waiting, what seems like an eternity for the gun to fire, and the trigger pull was perfect, I didn't change a thing. Can honestly say it was a valuable upgrade to my gamo big cat 1200. Gamo factory triggers do not do an air rifle justice at all. not very adjustable to me. But the GRT-III is really sweet. Not downgrading it at all, but I have one comment to add, I wish the one you make for the gamo was a bit longer, but thats just me I have rather large fingers, anyway thanks so much, GW.

Charlie,

  In one word UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I don't know why anyone would settle for junky trinket of a factory trigger, this is truly a night and day difference. The best part was installation, I was just scrolling thru instructions online one at a time and then....That's it???.... I was confused, I thought for sure I missed something. But no it was true I was done. Then I shot it, WOW what a nice crisp brake, UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Thank you again what a nice well crafted upgrade. I will recommend this product to everybody great job!!!

Bob,

I got the triggers last Friday.  They were easy to install and it only took about 40 minutes for both rifles (CFX and Super Streak).  The triggers did wonders for the two rifles. Before installing the triggers it was very tough to get respectable groups with the Super Streak and boy did I keep a sore trigger finger.  The CFX was just ok. But I knew I could squeeze more accuracy out of it with a few mods.  So after doing some research and reading the great reviews and results that others had gotten with their GRT Triggers, I had to give it a try.  Now, my rifles seems like they had major work, but just adding the trigger makes them feel and perform like different guns.  They are more enjoyable to shoot and I have the confidence that I will hit my target.

Wow! What an idea and product, finally I got a real difference maker that is well worth the money. I would highly recommend. Big Thanks,

Derrick

Thank you for your prompt response to my order. I am extremely pleased with the triggers. I installed one of them on a Crosman Storm. The results are amazing. The comparison of the stock trigger to the GRTIII trigger is, well, there is no comparison! The reduction in pull weight, feel, function, ease of installation, and installation support is incredible. I will definitely be a repeat customer. The quality of manufacture reminds me of a time when people actually took great pride in their work. Kudos on a great product and website.

Dear Mother of God...   what a difference!  I cannot thank you enough.  I know that I tend to be a little higher maintenance than the average e-mailer and I want to thank you again for your responses.

Got an answer on that "sitting in Charlette" thing with the packages.  FedEx Express and FedEx Ground merged a couple years back.  In your locale if things are being shipped to certain parts of the country they get 'flown' out of Charlette to their destination hub airports where 'Ground" picks them up and disperses them.  Tadah!  Asked my shipping guy about it today at work.

Alright- so where do I submit a testimonial?

Bob, I received your GRT-III trigger this afternoon and installed it in a Remington Summit .177 cal air rifle.

Just like everyone else I feel that there is only one word to describe the transformation, that word is WOW!  I bought this air rifle and was very disappointed, not in the rifle overall but specifically in the trigger feel and action. As a matter of fact I was about to offer this rifle to my friends, give it away to anyone who wanted it. I was that disgusted.  Now I think I'll keep it.

I shot forty five pellets this afternoon fine tuning the zero on the scope at 30 yards and was able to put three almost on top of one another, my worst group was a little larger than the size of a half dollar and this was when the wind picked up.

The trigger installed easily and as per the instructions on your website. There were no surprises. You've done a great thing for people that are going to shoot these rifles.

Thank you,

Everett Moss

Charlie! Thanks very much for the GTX-III triggers for our Gamo CFX and Whisper rifles.

Both installations were a breeze and I the difference was amazing.

Having been familiar with shooting the Bushmaster DCM rifle with a 2 stage trigger, I thought for sure that your trigger was going to be a very small improvement in the performance when applied to the pellet rifles. Boy was I wrong. The improvement was dramatic!

By far, the small investment spent on your triggers should be mandatory for all pellet rifle owners.Thanks for providing such a superior performing product, superior customer service, and for being just a regular nice guy.

Hi Bob ( Charlie ),   Well fitted the trigger to a Gamo CFX.  Bob, I’ve got a new gun, this has turned a cheap air rifle into an accurate gun, I reckon its doubled the value with ease, it will now shoot a small group and I mean small 5/8" 3 shot groups at 35 metre,s from a bench rest with a .22 air rifle is bloody good, no bloody marvelous, so good my friends would not believe it till they tried it, so I have just ordered 2 more triggers from you..............Thanks .......Peter Wilson  Goulburn NSW Australia.

Bob, Thanks SO much!
I installed the GRT-III in my Gamo CFX .177. I'd purchased it about 6 weeks ago and had somewhere around 500 shots through it. I'd read all the reviews about how bad the CFX trigger was but thought to myself "Eh, it really can't suck THAT bad, i'll just deal with it."  Try as i might though i just couldn't. It was gritty feeling, it was hard to pull, and the most annoying thing.... mine didn't always release at the same spot.

Enter the GRT-III. I already knew i had all the tools because i had done an earlier tear-down and inspection of the gun. So the swap honestly took ~5 minutes. Install is dirt easy.  Cock and load for my first shot with the GRT-III , pulled nice and slow to get a feel for it, little bit of first stage, TINY amount of resistance for 2nd and the shots off! Amazingly better to shoot. Haven't had much time to go shooting but fired off a couple dozen shots out the back door.

Bob, your trigger is AMAZING!! it completely changed the feel of my CFX.

Subject: installed and loving them...GRT-III triggers

I recently purchased four of Bob's golden triggers and they are awesome. I waited a few months to see if the triggers on my current rifles would "break in" but not a chance, cause junk does not improve with time. The installation took all of ten minutes or less and the improvement is remarkable. The CFX, Hunter 440, Big cat and Storm XT are all very predictable when the trigger is pulled and the pull is short and sweet The accuracy is markedly improved as is the consistency. The CFX is the most accurate of the bunch, quarter size groups at 30 yards from a beginner, but they all shoot much better. I no longer have to take multiple breaths before the rigger breaks to just get pellets down range and hope they hit the target I just breath aim and pull and hit the very point on the target I was aiming for.I am having more fun now than ever before.

Thanks Bob for the wonderful product.

 Hey Bob,

Just wanted to let you know that I installed the trigger on my sons GAMO VARMINT HUNTER in less than ten minutes.  My 13 year old son was so happy that he wanted to shoot it right away.  He was shooting silver dollar size groups at 30 yards with the factory trigger and now shoots dime size groups with the GRT III.  Amazing !!!!  I had the chance to shoot it and there is no comparison in the trigger pull as well as the smoothness.  My son and I decided to try and shoot his gun at 85 yards at a 20 oz. plastic Gatorade bottle and was surprised to hit it the majority of the time. (we had to aim high to compensate for the drop)  But with the GRT III we were able to be more precise with our shots.  I plan on sending the gun to you later in the year to have a Turbo Tune kit installed.  Thank you for taking the time to answer some of the questions that I had prior to receiving the GRT III.  You make an awesome trigger!!!  Squirrels beware....there is a new sniper in town!

Thanks, William Benedetti

This is David E. and I recently purchased a GRT-III trigger for my Gamo CFX.  I was really displeased with the trigger that originally came with the gun and it decreased my accuracy due to the lack of trigger creep.  When I looked at your trigger as an option for replacement, my only concern was installation.  Your instructions for installation were right on the dot and it was exactly as easy as it was advertised to be.  It is clear that you have taken a lot of time to work on those instructions and I appreciate that greatly. My accuracy has greatly gone up and I attribute that to the trigger.  Thank you for a great product.

Sincerely,

I installed the GRTIII this aftenoon after taking some shots for comparison. To say I was happy is an understatement. The trigger made such an improvement I could hardly believe it. You belong in some kind of Hall of Fame for mechanical improvers. The install went well except for my screw up of not getting the lever in the slot as advised. It is so great to be able to concentrate on form now instead for trigger pull. I now know my scope is good and the problem I was having was in the ergonomics. Thank you so much once again. I registered with the GTA forum, when you see OHPLNKR it's me. I have a LOT to learn as I am so new to airguns. The mod went on a Silver Shadow 1000 about 1 yr. old with 1K shots through it.

Some day I'll get her to you for a tuneup. Thanks again !

Just wanted to let you know I received the GRT-III for my Gamo Whisper today. I installed it as soon as it came. Installation was a snap took about 10 minutes just like you said. I did not need to make any adjustments to it the feel was perfect for me. All I can say is  Unbelievable!!! It was like shooting a different gun. The factory trigger was terrible lots of creep and way to heavy. The GTR is smooth and very light, feels just like my deer rifles. Free hand shots are much much easier and ten times more accurate .  If anyone is looking to upgrade the trigger on your spring air rifle Don't hesitate the GTR is awesome, you will be 100% happy with this trigger. Your groups will shrink and your kills  increase.  

Thanks Bob for a great product and also the quick shipping !!!!

Woohoo!!! Awesome awesome product Bob!

I purchased a Crosman G1 Extreme on clearance at Walmart last week on a whim but was so dissatisfied with the trigger I was ready to return it. I'm used to target triggers like my FWB 300 and Daisy 777 have and a mile of heavy mushy travel didn't cut it. You've transformed this cheapo rifle into a tack driver that's a pleasure to shoot. Beautiful workmanship with two day delivery (one really) and top shelf performance...'nuff said!

Thank you SIr!
