The Gamo Hornet Maxxim incorporates Inert Gas Technology (IGT) into the powerplant by using a gas cylinder versus a conventional spring. That means you get smoother cocking and shooting, no spring torque, no spring fatigue, no issues shooting in cold weather, and a much longer life than a spring powered gun. Not only is this rifle incredibly powerful, but it has many features that set it apart from ordinary breakbarrel rifles with a typical metal spring. The IGT allows you to cock the gun and wait before you take your next shot without worrying about the metal spring weakening. Gas pistons are robust and shoot MUCH smoother, delivering less twang and vibration to the shooter!

New to Gamo is the Whisper Maxxim sound suppression technology. Not only does it deliver a quieter shooting experience, but it also offers even more recoil reduction in addition to enhanced balance and handling.

The ambidextrous synthetic stock has a raised cheekpiece on each side, making this gun ideal for right- or left-handed shooters. The buttpad incorporates the Shock Wave Absorber (SWA) for more recoil reduction. While the gas piston seriously reduces the vibration, the SWA recoil pad stops you from feeling most of the recoil from the remaining movement of the gun.

The Hornet Maxxim is equipped with the Custom Action Trigger (CAT). Light years better than the previous version, you can tailor this trigger to your personal preference. With this smooth and predictable trigger, you'll be amazed at what a great shot you are!

Only Gamo offers the Recoil Reducing Rail (RRR). Designed to subdue the stress on your scope, the RRR absorbs shockwaves and reduces the stress on the internal components of your scope by almost 100%. That equals a longer scope life for you. This rifle is sure to please any shooter who wants precise, quiet accuracy.

Things I liked:

Size/weight, Power, No auto-reload magazine

Things I would have changed:

Terrible Accuracy, produces 7" groups at 20 yds on a good day. Chronic Dieseling, smoke in the barrel after every shot, even after thorough cleaning. I never once used flammable cleaning agents. Ineffective "Recoil Reducing Rail" that began to dent or deform where the scope pin inserts (it's made out of a softer metal than the pin). I have put about 500 pellets through it by now, and seeing no benefit from break-in. I am familiar with artillery hold and the mechanics of piston air guns. At this point, the squirrels are laughing at me while they make off with my apples by the bushel. They'll probably turn on my tomatoes next ...TL;DR This gun is not for hunting, unless you dont want to hit what you're aiming at.

What others should know:

I purchased this gun after having good experiences with the .177 Varmints I borrowed from family members last fall & winter. In hindsight I should have just bought a Varmint for half the price, but I wanted something with more stopping power in .22 without the plastic auto-load. Given that I shot dimes with two different Varmint guns at 20 yds, quarters at 30, I have to assume its the gun. Bear in mind, I am convinced I received a lemon based on other reviews, so take this with a grain of salt, but don't assume it can't happen to you. I have heard nothing from Gamo on my warranty claim in over a month.

  • Ryan from USA asked:

    The Spec section says the FPE for the. 177 and the .22 are the same. Is that an error or are they the same?

    • Mark from USA answered:

      The gas piston is the same in both calibers. With the drop in velocity the FPE becomes the same.

  • Ed from USA asked:

    can this model be retro fitted to take the gen 10 system?

    • Mark from USA answered:

      No

  • Ed from USA asked:

    can a .22 cal barrel be put on this unit!!!

    • Mark from USA answered:

      Swap from .177 cal to 22 cal? Yes.
