Gamo Varmint Reviews
Tell us what you think
very accurate for a spring powered rifle. Very moderate cocking effort for the achieved velocity. My Gamo Varmint is pushing 8.18 grain H&N wad cutter lead pellets at a consistent 910 feet per second. EXCELENT results.

This rifle just keeps getting better with use. I have now shot close to 1,000 pellets thru it. Several styles of pellets that it shot just O.K. when new, it now shoots them very, very good. I have a large quantity of daisy wad cutters that I bought for less than 1/2 cents each on clearance at local farm supply stores. None of my other 177 cal. guns, rifles or pistols shoot them worth a darn. Now that the Gamo Varmint is broken in, it now shoots the Daisy pellets almost as well as the high quality H&N match rifle pellets. This makes for very economical plinking.
I have found a pellet that this rifle has fallen in love with. H&N Match Rifle wad cutter pellets, 8.18 grain. H&N Match Rifle, .177 Cal, 4.49mm, 8.18 Grains, Wadcutter, 500ct This pellet makes this rifle think it is a PCP. It just puts them exactly where you point the gun. This target was shot at 10 meters from a bag rest by a 68 year old guy who doesn't see all that well. Shots #1 and #2 Were scope adjustment shots dialing in the point of impact for the new pellets. This is great performance from such a moderately priced gun with a non AO scope. This rifle shoots many pellets moderately well. It has a very nice trigger, making it easy to shoot accurately. The safety that does not reset itself is a feature I really like especially when target shooting. I like this almost as much as my gas piston Benjamin Prowler. This is probably the easiest to shoot spring powered rifle that I own. The recoil and torque are very moderate.

The air rifle had good power but very poor accuracy
Very very poor accuracy it's possible I got a bad rifle I would not recommend this air rifle or company. Pellet rifle is just sitting in the box it came in and I'll have to try and resell it on my own due to pyramids return policy.

I got them for my brother and brother in law for Christmas gifts . There amazing accurate I have seen reviews on how they aren’t that because there probably not using good pellets. I used gamo pellets and got a penny group at 35 yards . First clean the gun . Mount the scope USE lock tite AWAYS ! Unscrew all bolts put that on then screw in scope one to 18 pounds on the rail to 30 pounds.

It is an inexpensive, no-frills plinker and small-game killer, which is exactly what I wanted. Keep in mind that you can get this thing for about $100. All of its performance attributes must be evaluated compared to its price. No, it's not pinpoint accurate and yes, it is pretty harsh and unrefined... but it's inexpensive and it works. If you want more you'll have to pay more.
I have had several of these over the years, and I think the trigger, while never great, has gotten noticeably heavier. Once again, I didn't pay for a Rekord or a T06.
Just keep your expectations realistic and I think you'll be pleased.

The scope.
Can't hit the broad side of a barn with this thing. After talking to a customer service rep, this comes shipped with a "throw away scope". It has no sights, so what the heck am I supposed to do with it? I thought it was a steal because of the price point. I bought it to fight a crow infestation, and it's worthless. Not happy.
Well made product, the quality is as good if not better than a Ruger pellet riffle I purchased a few years ago. Very pleased with my purchase.

Great value
Loudness in my opinion is a very solid 5! It's sounds like a small-caliber bullet report -- REALLY. It hits hard and with a well-placed and decent quality scope is quite accurate! I cannot kill animals; I just cannot do it. If you are an airgun hunter however, please restrict this to SMALL animals and pests. My exception to not killing any animals is that I will kill disease carriers like mice..and this will do the job in a humane way and instantly.
Field sights would be cool.
It is a very good rifle for the price!
This Gamo Varmint with scope struck me as a good deal so I bought one. I find it very accurate at 75 foot distance, seems quite powerful, want to get rid of some squirrels quite sure this will do the job.
The Gamo Varmint is an excellent buy for the money. The accuracy is great. Haven't really tested it beyond 50 to 55 feet so far but within that range my groupings were within 1 inch.
I've already replaced the scope. The scope it came with was ok I guess, but I prefer to use a scope with a little better magnification.
The price is excellent and the rifle was delivered promptly. Everything I needed to go with the rifle was right there on Pyramid Air.
Verry accurate
Replace the scope
Works well with H&N pile-driver

Accuracy (tested @ 10 yards with a 3-9x40 scope). Looks and feels great. Very solid quality Great price.
Provision for a 1/2 x 20 moderator. It's a little loud.
Buck Rail sells a collet moderator that I'm betting will work. I've always struggled with accuracy on the break barrel rifles. Especially the spring pistons. Learned by video to hold them loosely and use a good shock proof scope. Absolutely works for me.
