Gamo Swarm Maxxim Multi-shot Air Rifle

Straight out of the box. Assemble scope on the rifle , and shot 5 rounds of predator GTO .22 pellets at 20 yards . 1" high. I couldn't believe it. Week later I have my squirrels freezer train. It's worth the money. I have shot up to 45 yards with no problems.

Mounts to scope need lock tight.

This thing has low power. in .22 cal my crono read 650 FPS at 14 foot lbs. with a 25 grain pellet. I shoot a crow at point blank in the chest and the pellet bounced off and it flew away. Good gun for plinking at paper targets only.

MORE POWER NEEDED.

Stay away from "SPRINGERS". Stick to PCP. WAY more power! WAY more accurate.

Multi shot is great

very nice rifle good scope good looking and extremily accurate

nothing

you better have a pretty good arm its a break barrel

Had a terrible squirrel problem. Eating my garage rafters, chewing through partial board and making nests in the trees too. After 2 other brands bought the maxim. With the supplied scope, sighted in at 30 yds and using Barracuda Hunter Extreme at 18.7 grains eliminated the problem after 4 weeks sending 32 to squirrels to squirrel heaven.Found this the best pellet for my rifle after trying 6 others. Great rifle, try to find any at this price and accuracy, probably not. Buy one, can not go wrong.

Nothing, for the distance I shoot scope is acceptable and clear enough. If I want to see penetration I buy revealing targets.

Use artillery hold lightly laying the front forearm on your hand, squeeze the trigger. Did not change the trigger pull. Great as it is. Take time to sight in your scope, make sure all screws are tight.

Fair price. It was shipped fast. Shoots like a tack driver, very impressive.

My favorite rifle to carry in the woods! Always ready by my back door for my walks. Lightweight and shoulders nicely. Accuracy seems to be questionable with this rifle. You must try different pellets until you find one your barrel likes. My gun prefers baracuda hunter extremes & terminators. Seems to like mid weight pellets. 1 inch groups with both @ 20 yards. Watch YouTube videos about artillery hold...increased my accuracy termendously.

Nothing

If you don't already have one...get one! Great for plinking, preppers, and small game hunting/pest control. A mist have in any airgun collection in my opinion

I have about 400 pellets through the .177 version so far. I love the reloading mechanism and it has worked flawlessly.

The shooting experience is... violent. Thats the only way I can explain it. My previous gun was a springer and this gun has much more vibration. With that said, the reloading mechanism makes up for this and overall its a blast to shoot.

I could not get this gun to group. Until I shot the monster diablos through it. Most pellets, I tried 8 different kinds, would give me 1.2 inch groups at 15 yards. The Monster Diablos are giving me one inch groups at 30 yards and that is sitting in a chair leaning on a hand rail on my deck. I almost returned the gun before I found the 13.43gr diablos but it has changed this gun into a fun and decently accurate gun. Overall pretty happy with it.

Very accurate once I found a pellet the rifle liked, Predator GTO non-lead pellets worked great. I can group ten shots in a one inch circle at 75 feet. Pesky rodents are no match for this rifle. I have owned this rifle for nearly three years now and shoot a few times each week. The squirrels are multiplying like rabbits! The suppressor works better than expected, and the squirrels do not get scared away on the first shot, allowing me to take that rare second shot. I am deadly with this rifle at 60 feet.

The rifle is quite heavy, so freehand shooting is somewhat unsteady. Also the area of the stock where the break breech moves has rather sharp edges, right where you hold it for aiming. I think I will file those down some. The scope is good enough for now, but I might upgrade later. The position of the scope can interfere with the removal of the scope protective covers, so you have to play with that at first.

This is my first adult air rifle. It is a great value for what you get. Sighting in for the first time takes a little practice, but once set for a particular pellet, accuracy can be achieved. I found lead-free domed pellets give good results. Hollow point lead pellets are like throwing knuckleballs at 950 FPS. Not very accurate beyond fifty feet. All in all, I am very pleased with my Swarm with its 10 shot clip. Buy and extra clip if you go hunting. You will need it in the heat of the moment.

Fairly accurate after you sight the scope

Loading mechanism made very cheap broke within two weeks. Required to pay return shipping and $15.00 check to send it back to you. Waste of money since same thing would happen.

Very expensive paper weight. Don't waste your money on this rifle like I did.
