Gamo Swarm Bone Collector 10X Gen3i Multi-Shot Air Rifle

nice wood stock

add open sights

multi shot breakebarrel's are a solution in search of a problem. the mag is tough to load in .22 , .177 would be worse.i don't see any real advantage to this over the old way. the gun is bulky and thick. it has reasonable power and accuracy. i hope the gun will work as a single shot if the plastic mechanism craps out

After buying this bone collector rifle in .22 - when I first got it , took it out of the box, cleaned the barrel (Full of gunk, took 15 patches to get it reasonably clean) and then started shooting it . Loading the magazines was nice and easy - inserting the clip into the rifle was easy and everything was working properly, except the velocities and accuracy was not that good (at 10 meters (11yds). But then after firing around 100- 150 pellets later ... things started to settle down real nice! My velocities with good quality pellets( jsb or dead center or even crosman 14.3's were great! With an average standard deviation of only 2 or 3 fps some shot strings had three duplicate velocities and then the next 2 shots were a deviation of only 1fps! And at the same time, my accuracy improved to about 1/4 inch at 10 meters, not bad!, some shot strings with dead center 18.13 gr round nose pellets were ragged one hole groups at 10 meters. Not bad at all! Great buy!

What I don't get is that some of the German made high powered .22 springers or gas ram pistons produce same velocities as the bone collector with about 10lbs less cooking effort!? What's up with that? You would think, by now, after years and years of technological research and advancements the airgun industry would all be on the same page as far as that was concerned, but maybe, there are other factors that I'm not aware of that makes things different between manufacturing processes. So it feels like around 40lbs of effort to cock the barrel, but velocities are good!

Definitely get a better scope than what comes in the box. This bone collector rifle its made with descent quality (love the wood furniture) everything is tight fitting, performs flawlessly, Feels great in the hands and shoulders - I would definitely recommend a 3-12x40 Hawke scope Airmax 30 compact, (very nice quality, very reliable scope) Or a 4-12x40 AO rifle scope, this one is on sale for less than $200, great deal for the money! And both scopes come with parallax adjustment to 10yds (essential for airguns). All in all, a great second tier air rifle for your money - I will post some accuracy groups in the near future, from 10 and 20 meters to show how great this rifle shoots! And how effective it is out in the field for varmints!

Heavy rifle. Difficult to pump, but, can set the buttplate on the ground and click it that way. Scope mounted easily and "cut paper" out of the box. Chronographed at 815 fps. 1 " groups at 25 yards. Great product. Spend the 10 for 10 and have it test fired before you get it.

Very pretty gun. Cocks easily for me. Light weight.

The whole system. I got 23 shots out of my Gamo Bone Collector before it would not cock. Sent it back to Gamo which I had to pay for the shipping both ways ($51.00). When I got it back, five shots later it would not cock!! Again!!

I got back into airguns as an adult about 10 years ago. I now own probably 30 air rifles from Benjamin NP2s to Hatsans, to Dianas, to Texans and everything in between. Never owned a Gamo before. After seeing so many great youtube videos on the Gen 3, I decided to give the Bone Collector a try. Plus I thought that the lower power (vs the magnum) would last longer. Purchased one on June 18th 2023 from PA and got it home, looked at it and sat in my bedroom for about 2 months. took it out shot a mag through it and put it back. About a month ago, I decided to scope it. After 3 shots it would not cock!! So, after 10 shots from PA and 13 from me, the gun would not cock. Tried everything and sitting down I smacked the barrel one last time and cracked the plastic loading apparatus. Sent it back to Gamo, got it back again and 5 shots in it will not cock again!! So, do I pay another $51.00 again or just cut my losses and stay away from Gamo. Feel like $320 down the drain!!

Look and feel is great. Like a good wood stock.

After the first 10 rounds, the pellets wouldn’t feed from the magazine. Would have returned it for exchange, except I found online forums discussing this very same problem. I returned it for a refund.

I’m no gunsmith or engineer, but this Gen3 system needs some retooling and/or rethinking in my opinion.

Nice looking gun. Really like the multi-shot but it quit feeding after about 40 shots. It did not perform as I thought it should. A 16 gr. pellet was shooting 650fps. Pyramyd Air took care of it. A great company to do business with. It is such a nice gun I ordered a replacement.

Maybe an extra mag.

It is a little hard to cock but nothing you can't handle.

Awesome accuracy

Absolutely nothing

Great gun

Looks good , quiet,10 shot magazine

Too hard to cock for old people

Get a different scope from what it comes with

Absolutely beautiful rifle. Before ordering the Gamo 10X Gen 3i Bone Collector I considered the more pricey rifles made in England and Germany. In my humble opinion, most of those rifles are too heavy for carrying and are mostly best for bench/target shooting. Both the lesser price along with the seven pound weight of the Bone Collector allowed me to mount a bit heavier but really nice rifle scope - the Athlon Optics 2-12x42 Heras SPR AAGR1 SFP, .1MIL, 1" Tube. A perfect match and together the setup weighs 8.6 pounds which still comes in lighter than many of those more expensive rifles even without a scope on them. I also took advantage of Pyramyd’s 20 Shots for $20 Service which includes mounting and zeroing-in of the scope. After shooting it for several weeks now, I can conclude that if I had to have only one .22 caliber pellet rifle, the Bone Collector is the one

Nothing

The 20 Shots for $20 Service report for this Gamo Bone Collector using the .22 cal.11.75 grain Predator GTO Lead-Free Pellets showed an average velocity of 862 fps with average of 19.65 Ft/Lbs of energy.

The rifle is great, it's accurate. The magazines work nicely.

Nothing.

Pyramid Air has great customer service. They will answer any questions. Shipping is fast.
