Page 4 - Gamo Swarm Magnum Reviews

Very accurate and powerful small game hunting tool!

A bit heavy at the barrel end of the gun.

While this rifle is very accurate it is also hold sensitive but worth the money.

i never like gamo i had 1 of them years ago the 1 they said shoot 1600 fps you couldn,t hit nothing with it so been shooting german springers every since but i have been reading the reveiws on the gamo swarm magnum and i really liked the 10 shot so i ordered one man this thing is great plenty of power and accurrate i been killing squirrels like crazy with it i love this gun i did put a good scope on it the scope was bad

i wish they would change the scopes and go ahead and put a fair scope on it i think they would come out in the long run on the gun reviews.

excellant gun for the money no doubt

Very good power, easy clip loading, so nice to have 10 shots without stopping to load.

Scope rail

If you cant cock this gun, you should loose your man card.

Nice weight and feel. Very powerful. This is the first .22 airgun I have purchased, and the difference between this and .177 is amazing. The recoil is very much like my rimfire .22, which is an added bonus. As to the scope, I had no trouble sighting it in. After ten consistent rounds downrange, I set up at 30 yards and was hitting about one inch groups dead center. I tried several different pellets, and settled on JSB Diabolo Exact Jumbo Express 14.3 Grain. These are deadly accurate. Too many complaints about this scope. My rimfire has a Bugbuster on it, and I may switch out just to see what the difference might be, but I am happy with the stock scope.

Nothing. I bought an extra magazine, and will buy another half dozen. This is a smooth cocking, fast acting, high power small bore.

Be sure to clean the barrel when you first get it. Mine had a lot of "stuff" in there. Looked like plastic shavings of some sort. This is NOT a toy. I put a round clean through a 3/4" fence board by mistake. (Missed the target backstop when sighting in.)

I purchased this rifle with reluctance at first. With the rifle, I also purchased a Diana Bulls eye mount and 2 extra clips. The scope, a Hammers 3 x 9 x 40. My pellets on the first trip into the woods to sight it in were the pointed copper 16.05 grains. They were super fast, hit hard and accurate. The second pellets were the Hunter Extremes, 18.21 grains, and they too were hard hitting, but when I tested them at 40 yards they were not what I wanted. After testing 7 different pellets through this rifle, I settled on the JSB 15.89 grain domed pellets. Let me tell you guys that like to shoot accurately and with power, for this [particular] gun, that 15.89 grain pellet is the ticket!. At 40, range finder verified yards, the GAMO SWARM MAGNUM, will put ten pellets inside of a 3/4 inch dot, and do it with power!. Cant wait to take her hunting.

The only thing I'd change, and only because it's a personal preference, is the weight. I like my rifle to weigh at least 8 pounds, but that's me.

This, my friends, is NOT A TOY!!!. It will go through fences, and I would consider it as dangerous as any .22 cal rim-fire rifle, so please respect it.

This product from Gamo has a nice weight, size and feel.. A little loud for what I was expecting & has a nice little "kick" to let you know it has power! Quality is good and definitely can't wait to get some more rounds down range with this rifle

Make the suppressor actually work.

If you're small and frail I guess the cocking effort is a little difficult but, it's a trade-off... you want power or you want easy cocking? I'll take the power. You get used to it it's not so bad.

The 10 shot magazine has been perfect. I added a drop of Pellgun oil to the red plastic rod that seats the pellet as recommended when new. I love this airgun. It has serious power and range. It takes a little effort to cock but it has gotten better with use. I have about 200 pellets through it right now. I changed the scope to a Hawke Airmax 4-12 x 50. The stock mount works great with this scope. I have to say when I took off the stock scope it was still perfectly zeroed and very accurate. I did the 20 for 20 because I wanted to see it shot through the chrony and it shot 1064 as a high and 1024 as a low with their 12.0 grain test pellet.

The scope. Its def cheap but it does work.

I highly recommend this airgun! My wife also loves to shoot it and she can cock it quite easily.

i like the whole riffle

would like it to come with 2 mags

Trigger low recoil force accuracy and long range shooting best pellet tested H&N Barracuda hunter extreme for over 50 yards + I've been shooting Iguanas freaking tough-skins varmints at 50 yards no issue aiming to the head obviously if you want something at the same range try the Benjamin np trail xl .25 but guess what no mag on it so you pick its a good choice if the budget don't reach a PCP were have to spend twice the amount of the rifle price due to the pump and pump accessories

bigger cal .25 or .30 could be a plus on this rifle the suppressor I really expected more but no a really need due to it will going to be their last pee-uh they will heard

its a hunting rifle not a plinking toy so heavy cocking shouldn't be an issue it can be afforded magazine its a hit no issues bought 4 additional just enough for any hunting trip

Everything

Need a 25 caliber

Very accurate and hard hitting rifle. This Magnum is not short on power. Quiet and comfortable to shoot, but cocking the barrel isn't so much fun on this one. I guess that's what happens when you want more power in a break barrel.

Reduce the barrel cocking effort. Scope is junk. I suggest, selling it without one and reduce the price, or include a better one for $299.99.

You get a gym workout with this rifle. If your not looking for that, go with the Maxxim!

This rifle is accurate. The 10 shot magazine. It's quiet. Not too heavy. POWERFUL.

I know that with more power, comes a higher cocking strength. This rifle is a beast to cock. After 20 shots, you start to feel it. If, Gamo could, it would be nice to reduce the cocking lbs. Even though, I LOVE this rifle. The rifle is a little long, but manageable. Offer a wood stock option.

I never even mounted the Gamo scope that came with it. I purchased a UTG scp3-216umoa scope and mounted it with a Diana Bullseye ZR-1. Having a scope with Parallax adjustment is key to accurate shooting. Definitely something to consider.

Everything

Nothing

Powerful

Nice and Light weight, auto feed, and adjustable trigger

Scope for sure.

After 300 round I tested this rifle against my Diana Air King using JSB Match 18,13 pellets. Neither would shoot through a 2 X 6 at 15 yds but the Gamo sunk in deeper by 1/4 inch. At 3 feet the Gamo shot 728 over the Chrony and the Diana 691 fps. At 25 yds the Gamo shot a 1 1/4 inch group and the Diana shot 1/2 inch off the bench. At 40 yds the Gamo shot 2 3/4 inch group and the Diana shot 1 1/2 group. At 40 yds the GAMO shot 639 fps and the Diana shot 589 fps.. I put a Bug Buster on this rifle and it was too short to get full field of view without streatching uncomfortably foreward. Origional scope was 13 inches long Bug Buster was 9 inches long. Get a good longer scope. I was going to try to keep things compact and it did not work. I like the Gamo but it is Worlds apart from the Diana Air King in Cost, Weight, Recoil and right now accuracy which should improve with time and practice. I got to get ME adjusted to the recoil after getting practally none from the Air King.

Very quiet

Weight is an issue and the length

So far it serves a purpose

No more single feeding a round into the breach!!!!! Finally a airgun built by people that understand not everyone enjoys manually load each pellet every shot

Nothing!!!

I love everything about this rifle. This air rifle is extremly powerfull and very very accurate. I use it every day to kill big iguanas in my yard and I can say that 90% of them was killed with 1 shot. This rifle is not a toy and I will recomended to anyone that want it for pest control.

The brake barrel is hard but once you get used to it it's ok!

Extremely powerfull and very accurate. 100% satisfied

first thought is in a 15 yard target area you hear the pellet hit the target before you hear the rifle. those pellets are really fast and powerful. i love the multi shot because so much time is saved not having to load after each shot. today in airgunning we have a choice of pumping air or cocking me personally i take the cocking. rotary is smooth and dependable no checking to see if pellet loaded while you cocked it.

if i change something like the length of barrel that would make cocking effort harder. if i change rifle length that will cut down on the rifles power. if i change the length of the rifle that would make cocking effort harder and decrease the power of the pellets so i will leave the gun as it is. oh except maybe make the rifle in 25 and 30 caliber versions. that would definitely be a game changer 25 and 30 caliber repeaters that are reliable

love this gun

It is light, it holds well and feels good to me. Factory Trigger pull is satisfactory, could tweet it but it is good the way it is. Really like the 10 round clip set up so far it is working as advertised.

THE SCOPE, Sell the rifle without a scope. Even with the silencer the rifle seems quite loud to me but that could change with time.

Waited for this rifle since May. Was supposed to arrive the first of June. Got it today August 13th. Took it out of the box and it checked out NICE, like I was hoping for. Went to clean it and MAN it looked like they drug it across the bottom of the ocean for the 3 months I had been waiting for it. I brushed and swabbed over 50 patches and solvent to get close to getting the rust out of the barrel. Real Nasty is the best I can say about that. Glad I did not shoot it first. The Scope, the BEST thing I can say about the scope is when you take it out of the box, it really looks like a scope. After looking, save your self time and energy and unbolt it from the rings and place it in the Garbage Can. After that exercise I got it sighted in at 15 yds and just off a tripod it shot less than a 3/4inch group. I am 69 and it takes a lot to cock but it is not a problem, on a cold day??? There is ample felt recoil but nothing painful for a person but could be tough on scopes. Buy One.

Looks good. Seems reasonably accurate.

Would put a scope that is focussed for closer. Install a reasonable trigger, I would pay more for a metal trigger with better adjustment screws. This to me is the weakest point on the gun.

If there were an honest reviewer I would love to see the review. It appears they have nothing but good opinions of any review.
