Light, less than 8lbs with a 12oz scope and the stock mounts, (Leupold 3-9x33 EFR Freedom scope). Open sights, (rear), made of metal and work well.Good trigger, and can easily be made better. A must for a very light hold, (artillery hold), holding the gun for long distances. I have not tested a lot of pellets yet, but I can tell already it loves the JSB 18.13 gr. with easy 1" groups at 40 yards, (my first 5 shots with that pellet). Also shot over 500 JSB 15.89gr domes and Hades pellets shoot well, but not as good as the 18.13 pellet. Over 27fpe, competes with a lot of PCP .22 cal. guns. Barrel locks up very well. Zero side to side movement, and just a very little bit of up and down movement that is hard to feel. It snaps shut like it is some kind of cam action. The 10 shot mag should go down in history as one of the best advancements of the break barrel gun. As a quality engineer, this gun is very good quality. Much better than my .30 cal. springer.

I would like to be able remove the entire magazine assembly easily so I can clean the barrel more easily. But I do have to research that more. I don't understand why anybody would say a springer has a lot of recoil. Nobody ever got a bruised shoulder from a springer air gun. I don't need a big thick butt plate for a springer, as I barely touch it to my shoulder when shooting. But I do need better eye relief for the scope. I will make my own thin butt plate and get my eye about .75" closer to the scope so I have full view at the higher powers of the scope with out forcing my head in a unnatural forward position.

After you clean the barrel, make sure you get all the grime off the breech face before you lock up the barrel, (why I need the mag assembly off, for easier cleaning). If you do not clean the oil/grime off the breech face, the high air pressure will work the grime around the o-ring sleeve and allow air to pass around the o-ring sleeve, causing your fps to jump all over the place and your accuracy to be terrible. If you know how to hold a springer, (basically, don't touch it), and you have a good scope and a good pellet like the 18.13gr. JSB, shot through a clean barrel, you should be able to do head shots on small game to 80 yards or more. With everything sealed well, I have measured over 900fps with a 15.89gr. pellet. Eat your hearts out PCP owners.

when all else fails, read the directions.

First, remove the up/down adjustment screw from the fiber optic rear site, mind the spring placement. Then remove the spring wire bent ends out of the pivot hole drilled into the sides of breech/barrel. There are plastic guard/keeper tabs protruding from the stock, you have to work the bent ends of spring wire out of home and up and away from tabs on stock. Repeat on other side. Magazine assembly can be removed. Reverse procedure to reinstall. As per instructions provided with every rifle.

Thx for the detailed review. I own a Gen 1. Thinking I'll love the Gen 2 even more.

Powerful using crosman 14.3 grain hollow points from wally mart.The new mag works great and as designed.For those that don't use scopes the open sights are very good.

The first thing you will notice is the cocking effort wow 50 plus pounds easy , not for someone with a small build. It will take 3 men and a boy to cock it.The rear of the stock is hollow but it is very pointabe and comfortable.Weight is close to to 8 pounds unscoped.Persoatly i never use the Gamo scopes so i installed a UTG 3X12X44MM compact scope , zeroed in 5 rounds no drama.I think an extra mag would be more welcome and leave the scope behind. I bought mine on 7-30-20 only have 4 mags though it at this time mostly because of all the fires in California. It is a magnum in every sense of the word. Gamo should include more than one magazine. Would rather have an extra mag than the scope.

Im glad i waited for the new magnum. Since i have the Maxxim in .177 i always thought would buy the 22 version but held off. Extra magazines are available from Gamo at 17.95. Planning on trying some JSB 18.13 grain i know it has more than enough power to push them.Recoil is not bad for a gun this powerful.

10 round clip is awesome in 177 decent price. Very light. Spain mfg. But it's a buy.

Cracks when firing...but goes with the power at 1200 fps in 177 leadl...making back yard firing noisy...but goes with the power so I like it

Hard cocking....butch up you'll get use to it. Recommended as a buy to get that second shot when that rodent gets away bc you had to look away to reload in a reg springer. Would like an option for a match grade barrel. But seems to shoot good

The gun was fine, powerful, worked as it should

The optics are worthless, they don't adjust, simply tighten on the rifle, why even put it on....

The gun is fine, would just need a different optic if your concerned with distance sighting. The problem I had was returning it for another rifle. They wouldn't print me a return label, so I had to send it back myself. It was $53 to return the gun box and $60 to return the gun case box....so $113 return postage....do the math.

Why would they pay return shipping if there was nothing wrong with it? Returns already cost a merchant about 3% in cc fees. Sounds like you just changed your mind. I'm amazed that you feel the merchant should eat the $100 plus cost to ship it back. SMH.. BTW this is a PRODUCT review not a MERCHANT review.

Being able to buy products from somewhere else. I had to buy TWO of these air rifles before I actually got the Gen2, and even then, NOBODY had(has) even a single 22 cal pellet magazine to put in it. Using the SINGLE magazine that came with the rifle, the entire suppressor FLEW out of the end of the barrel with the first shot. Replaced and gluing did nothing; the suppressor FLEW OUT AGAIN. It just isn't going back into this rifle. $750.00 for two guns and neither one is a functional Gen2. (Caveat Emptor)

GAMO's reliability when promising you one thing then sending you the last copy of their old version. Unbusinesslike to be sure. I will NEVER buy a single solitary GAMO product again. I just don't have the money to waste

I'm out nearly $1,000.00 and I STILL don't have a properly functioning 22 caliber GAMO Swarm Magnum Gen2. An issue because LASER sights won't function behind the vertical magazines of Gen One.

PAUL Sep 02, 2021

You're out (nearly) $1,000 and still rated 3 stars???

mark May 14, 2021

Just bought three, gen 2 inertia in 22 cal yesterday at gamousa.com

Andy Feb 26, 2021

did u buy it from pyramyd? Id think they would exchange it...

Troy Jan 30, 2021

the suppressor is held in by two steel pins, got any pictures or video of that blowout?

Raymond Nov 27, 2020

James, if you cannot find a .22 caliber magazine anywhere else, try contacting Gamo DIRECTLY. That is what I did with Crosman, regarding extra magazines. They were able to help me, and hopefully Gamo will be able to help you as well.

Rich Nov 11, 2020

James, shoot me an email ( rdshar5@comcast.net) I can help you out.

Powerful long range and pinpoint accuracy with the right pellets. Mine does really well with .22 H&N Hornets, and nearly as good with Premier Domed & Hollow Point. New Gen2 mag prevents double loading, can also uses the other gen2 10x mag from Swarm Fusion, etc (without double load prevention). Have iron sights fitted if you want to shoot without scope.

Perhaps different linkage design for less cocking effort? It is a truly 50lbs cocking effort, although it seems to get smoother and a bit lighter as the rifle is broken in., or you're getting used to it. The recoil is insanely strong. Getting a magnum rated scope and/or a zero recoil mount is a must. Your scope is garranteed to have a very short life without those.

Mine got a bad barrel droop, have to shim rear-end of scope to not using too much elevation on the scope itself. Also the pistol grip cover is snap-fitted, removable and have enough room for a spare mag, if you want to.

mark May 14, 2021

Hes describing a MAXXIM not a magnum stock. I wish my magnum had spare mag in the stock like my SWARM MAXXIM does.
