Gamo Swarm Magnum Multi-shot Air Rifle

the gun works great

scope is not good

should sell the gun with out the scope, give people the option to buy with scope or without.

Power and accuracy

Nothing

Very accurate, very powerful

Power and accuracy

Bought twice returned twice, magazine broke down first, then shroud shattered second time

Awesome gun for two weeks each time before it breaks :(

I tried the H&N Hollowpoint 12.65 grain pellets and was getting an average of 1030 fps at 30 fpe. 1.75 inch groups at 50 yards. All-round great rifle paired with a Hawke Airmax scope.

Nothing

Breaking the barrel isn't as bad as they say it is. You get used to it.

I really like the feel. The distance and accuracy. I love the 10x shot loader. That is why I bought Gamo over other rifles. I already own a gamo .22 Swarm 10x. Both great breakbarrle rifles.

A little harder than the other Gamo rifle to cock. But I just change my grip and works fine. Also I am a 56 yo man with a bad shoulder from motorcycle wreck. So I can't really complain. Great gun.

It does have some kick. Good butt cushion.

The Gamo swarm magnum is very powerfull . My chronograph is showing an average of 27.3 FPE at 837 FPS with the Crossman 14.3 Grain premiere hollow points. I'll try the more expensive pellets after break in. The CAT trigger is crisp, and smooth. As far as quality goes time will tell. The accuracy is still being worked in due to the break in period is not near completed. With that said once things start to stabilize the group's will start getting tighter. This is my second Gamo break barrel, and after I broke in my other one the accuracy is amazing.

Improve the recoil reduction rail. There's no way it's taking 99.9 percent of the recoil off the scope as stated. If it is I sure would love to see some solid proof! My other Gamo rifle has torn up some scopes due to the harsh recoil.

Be careful when cocking the rifle. If not cocked correctly the barrel can hurt you, and destroy the rifle.

Coming from an older Norica Gold, the Gamo Magnum is probably the best break barrel I have ever fired. Knowing that most non-pcp air rifles accuracy suffers past 30-35yrds, I have taken headshots on cottontail at 45-55yrds with ease using JSB 18.13. Cocking takes a bit of effort, but its not bad at all even after 100+ shots. Scope is decent for what it is. Pellets load smoothly. Contrary to what some say, this rifle is very quiet. I can shoot from my porch where I have several House Finch nests and it doesnt bother them at all.

Scope definitely needs some more, preferably some mil dots. Other than that, nothing.

This rifle is not as pellet-picky as most make it out to be. Its accurate with the JSB 15.89, JSB 18.13 and the Predator GTO 11.75. I have put all pellets in 5-shot groups of 3/4 inch or less at 35yrds, and Crosman domed at 1 inch.

I never really got a chance to like it between scope issues accuracy issues I never got the performance out of it that I was looking for for $300! I spent the same $300 on a Hatsan flash PCP and I haven't looked back, you can keep the break barrels!!!!

The barrel that's got to be the flaw I couldn't hit anything for 10 yards away.

I bought this weapon with high hopes early amid the hype. I was immediately let down by its accuracy. What's the point of all the power if you can't hit anything with it. I'm no Momo I can shoot! Maybe I got a lemon. All I know is I've thrown six Gamo weapons in the dumpster and this one was one of them!!!

This Air Rifle doesn't disappoint! This is my first purchase of a high powered .22 cal air and GAMO really hit the mark this rifle is everything I hoped and much more! The weight of this rifle is perfect and the cocking effort isn't as bad as some of the reviews make it out to be. I'm 5' 3" so I have shorter arm's and I have no problem cocking this rifle. The multi short mag is Great and it's easy to use , I would highly recommend ordering a few extra mags. I also upgraded the Scope to the Leapers UTG 3-9x50 AO True Hunter Rifle Scope, EZ-TAP, Illuminated Mil-Dot Reticle, 1/4 MOA, 1" Tube, See-Thru Weaver Rings and mounted it using the existing rings to make use of the Amazing Gamo Scope base. Second day out I was hitting 1 1/2 inch groups at 50 yards. I highly recommend zeroing in this Scope at 50 yards to make the best use of the high powered nature of the rifle.

Upgrade the Scope when you purchase your rifle you can always save the stock scope as a bachup.

The two best Pellets I found are the Gamo Rockets and for Hunting the Polymag .22 Shorts (REMEMBER TO USE SHORTS. 22 WHEN ORDERING POLYMAG PELLETS.

Great rifle. Accurate and fun to "show off.

Initially difficult to cock at 45 ft. lbs. but all thing take some getting used to.

I'd like to see PyramidAir offer a sampling different gr. pellets. I see differing opinions on which pellet would work best for my rifle so if there was a option for us to "build" our own selection of different pellets and test each sampling, e.g. 30 qty of 5 or 6 different pellets. This way we're not stuck with tins of pellets tht aren't right for our rifle.
