Page 2 - Gamo Swarm Magnum Reviews

Great buy took me about 15 shots to get her zeroed in make sure u tighten the scope mouthing screws down after shooting for about 10 shots.

The plastic barrel tip to a metal or screw on tipe and not a press on other then that a great shooter

I bought one in .22 cal and it does the job. I would consider this a 'must have' for a survival collection. No, it is not a PCP, but it is a 'go getter' and remains important alongside some of my spectacular PCP airguns. The break barrel action requires a bit of strength but can be dealt with...will drop pesky critter in a flash.

Get a better scope.

Feel. Power. Accuracy for a weapon not even broken in yet.

nothing

the gun works well, it's pretty accurate and not quite as hold sensitive as my other break barrel guns

it would be nice if the leverage factor on the barrel caulking mechanism could be changed a little bit because it takes quite a bit of force to cock the rifle

this is not a good gun for children or women. It takes quite a bit of strength to use it, but it's nice having the magazine automatically load and it is very powerful, similar to most PCPs

Its accurate and easy to shoot not bad for tree rats.

The scope that comes with the rifle needs up grading. The modulator needs improvement its loud as hell. I dont see any quietness At all

Definitely get a better scope by all means with AO.

Nice rifle. Quite a bit bigger than my Swarm .177 and a little harder to cock.Not for the weak but all in all, a very nice,powerful and accurate gun. The scope is an upgrade which is a plus. Easy to zero in.

The price was right for the caliber .22 and it is as accurate as the Bone Collector .177 I own at the same FPS. It Loads easily and shoots great.

I would add an adjustable trigger to help in off hand shooting. I like a light trigger pull and over 3 lbs of pull is to much. I also like a quick trigger more like a muzzle loader set trigger. Adjustable for light, tight, quick action. This takes away the squeeze and timing needed for accurate off hand shots.

For the money and reliability I would have to say this is the best pellet rifle I have ever owned. The weight, accuracy, and the 10 shot capacity really adds to the pleasure of hunting with this rifle. It is powerful too and will kill the varmits I want to kill. It is compareable to the more expensive PCP rifles out there with no doubt in my mind. I wish someone would put a PCP up against it in a shoot out in both cost, accuracy, and penetration test while in the field.

Gamo did it again! I already owned a gamo bull wisper .177 But 6 months ago i bought this baby in .22 Very fun to shoot ! Very powerfull i even shoot H&N Piledrivers with this gun they fit in the magazine and they shoot 1"groups at 50 yards I was stunned that it was powerfull ennough to push them out of the barrel ... And yeah they even go trough 3cm of plywood at 50 yards do they pack a punch! Also the H&N HORNETS does it great Have upgraded the scope with a ATN X-sight hd Pro i even was stunned that it was possible trough the recoil reduction rail ... I realy love this gun ... First i want er to buy a pcp but i am very glad i choose tot this gun !!!

Needs a better scope. And it would be nice if you could mount a bipod on it.

You need to be strong to cock it

Very powerful/ adjustable trigger

Upgrade the scope

A real powerful .22 cal that will reach out for long shots.

This is NOT a toy. It is a very cool self feeding rifle but, the cocking force needed is significant. Power is amazing It blows thru 3/4 inch plywood. As others noted, the Hades pellet gives me less than 1" groups at 35 yards. I used some other pellets and had 1.5 to 3 inch spreads (hint, use Hades).

As others say, the scope is not good. I put it on my Hatsan .25 since it's accuracy is much less.

I can do 10 pull ups, 40 pushups and weigh 170 pounds. This gun tired me out after about 60 shots. It is powerful but that comes with a cocking price.

Love the magazines. I bought 3. By the time I shoot 3rf one its time to take a break...lol Very very fun to shoot.

Hard to clean barrel. Hard to sight in. (cheap scope ) Spring for magazine pops out. Found several small springs loose in packaging. Contacted Gamo who claimed t Ignore them Extras... ? took almost a week for answer...

Love the setup. Fun to shoot.

The awesome power of the .22, after some zeroing in the scope to perfect, knocked off a tree rat at 50' one shot. Makes shooting fun again. Waiting for a wood chuck or racoon to put the rifle to the test, which I'm confident will come out great.

Nothing

Not a gun for kids by all means or a small person, cocking it does take strength but worth it for the power and accuracy once the scope is zeroed in perfect. Pyramyd air people know their products inside and out ,they set me up well with correct pellets that other's had excellent results, with this rifle.

Power

Better scope

I was disappointed at first but after a few days of shooting discovered a few secrets which made all the difference in the world ..Put the blue Loctite on all thread on scope . After that shoots very goodThe screws were loosening up , after that became pretty accurate

Its got some power. It seems to be pretty sturdy.

I would make the magazine mount a little more rigid.

Its pretty fun with a 10 round clip

Easy to shoot, fits nice when aiming and has good power. Light and a good price.

Nothing

Well Worth the money, pay the 10 for 10 at pyramid air. Also invest in a Chrono it show you what you gun is doing.

N/a

Scope is junk

Difficult to Cock Barrow , very loud

This great air rifle nice feel very powerful

nothing

I would recommend this air rifle to anyone

Lots of power The 10 shot clip works perfect

The scope is terrible. The crosshairs are rotating within the tube. Just plan to buy a better scope and you will have a great gun. Honestly for $200.00 it is a great buy even if you have to buy a better scope. It would make more sense to buy the gun only and buy the scope of your choice.

I recommend the gun but not the scope.

The Gamo Swarm Magnum is one intimidating weapon and looks like it is ready for business. I love having the best of anything and my brother and I got the best hunting new age multi-shot break barrel we could purchase in our opinion. We are new to this type of shooting and we bought our guns to have affordable accurate shooting fun between brothers. Hitting a clay target at 100 yards is just a cherry on top.

Offer different levels of scopes. Let the customer pick and pay for the features they want. A non adjustable parallax scope is just a throwaway on this type of weapon. We had to upgrade our scope to get the most out of our purchase. It is quite the chore to cock this gun but it is a real hunting full power on weapon so I can only hope it loosens up a bit. But if you want raw power you have to expect a lot of muscle to make it happen. It is not that much of negative, just a fact that it takes possibly two hands to get this break barrel over the hump.

Grab some excitement, Grab a Gamo

This air rifle is a blast to shoot. Push out a .22 cal pellet at 1300 fps with 28-30 ft lbs of penetration is setting the bar pretty high.

This is a very powerful break barrel and requires a good bit of strength to cock. No problem for me, but I am a big guy. Others might do better with the Swarm Maxim. The Swarm Magnum is great gun, but as others have observed, the scope is absolutely worthless. Every time I fire the recoil causes the guts of the scope to move around... it's in focus. Fire... now it's out again. Bang on the side the scope with the heel of the hand. Maybe it clears up, maybe still blurry. I only gave 4 stars for this reason. Very frustrating. I ordered a Leapers Hunter for it. That one gets terrific reviews. I hope it works for me.

Leave out the scope and reduce the price accordingly.
