This is a great light gun. I have mine in .177, and have taken crows, squirrels, rabbits, and doves with one shot, easy. It has an OK trigger, nothing like a good PCP, but I still love the gun, too many memories.

I got mine about 7 years back, I shot about 50 to 100 rounds a day, so it has lost so much power it has the trajectory of a bb gun, I wish I knew where to get the Nitrogen Piston recharged.

If you want an urban safe pest control gun, this is a great wallet friendly gun, and it is pretty accurate, I could drive tacks at 25yds, now I shot it SO much it has lost power, so it has become so hold sensitive that I can't even use it. It is a great beginners gun, it can give you quite a workout after a few hundred shots, and most kids can break the barrel. (8+)

Exceptional accuracy for a rifle of this price. Fast second shots if that is your thing. Easy cocking. Fairly quiet.

Magazines still fail on occasion, maybe gen 3 is better?

This is one of the most accurate rifles I own. Easy to use for extended periods without fatigue. Included scope is adequate.

This is my first break barrel air rifle. I bought this gun by mistake. I thought I ordered the swarm magnum in 22 caliber. After receiving and shooting the swarm maxxim I fell in love with it. I’m shooting 10 shot groups the size of a dime at 20 yards.

Needs a better scope

This gun is accurate and easy to shoot.

I like the look and ease of using the magazine. It's also fairly quiet.

This is my first springer but I have shot them before. I would definitely not get this for accuracy past 20 yards. At least that's what i have encountered.

I am unable to get this thing to shoot any pellet good. I am reaching out to pyramyd to see what they want me to do. I have used 2 different scopes on it but this gun will not shoot a good group.

A Vector Optics scope made a world of difference, still playing with different pellets. I also am having no problems hitting small targets out to 40 yards and have taken pests out to 30 yards

This gun is very accurate it likes the H&N 10.65-gram round nose barracuda .177 Cal.my gun is shooting them at 779 feet per second average It's deadly on sparrows most of my shots have been 15 to 20 yards and a few maybe at 30 yards. Don't miss too often! very nice gun light weight fun to shoot.

I wouldn't change anything it's it's set up nice

if you want to fun gun for thinning out the sparrow population this works good

Heck yes sparrows! They are air vermin! This is exactly what I bought mine for! They poo all over and infest my chicken yard feeders (and spread diseases). They kill GOOD songbirds babies (like the Eastern Bluebird) by destroying the nests in our bird houses and nesting on top of the Bluebird babies and driving away the parents. Not only that they cause havoc in our buildings and structures and anywhere they can put their pest nests! End them all!

Bro, sparrows can p**p up a barn, not trying to be goofy, but it is the hard truth. Michael might be using it for pest control.

Todd Nov 28, 2024

779 feet per second sounds awful low for a .177 pellet of any weight. My .22 shoots a 14.3gr pellet almost 1000 feet per second with no issues

Really killing sparrows.What a punk

Wow, what a cool air rifle. I'm a newbie to break barrel and PCP air guns. I had the usual Daisy, Crosman along with my Sheridan .20 cal air rifles as a Kid. Been a hunter for 50 years. So I figured to try something different to hunt squirrels with. So purchased the Gamo Swarm Maxxin for Pyramyd Arms. First off, great company!!! Now to the rifle. Ergonomics are perfect. To me it's one of those guns when you pickup and shoulder it, you know that this thing should shoot good. It cocks very easy. The included scope works well for the intended 30-40 yard range of the rifle and was easy to sight in. You can always upgrade the scope. But no need to get started. It appears to be accurate at 35 yards. Using Norma's 15.9 gr Domed pellets I was getting inch groups just lean against a tree. I'm into hunting accuracy, not bench accuracy. So your mileage my vary. Build quality looks pretty good and should last for awhile for my intended use of hunting.

For what it costs, nothing

The 10 shot magazine and easy cocking makes for a good repeater. It just might become my favorite squirrel gun. It's quite, accurate and feels good shooting. I didn't mess with the trigger since it seems fine right out of the box. Any how for about $200 bucks in 2024 it appears to be a fine "hunting" air rifle.

This Gamo Maxxim Gen 2 in .177 is a Tac driver, wow does it hit hard. I'm an experienced breakbarel shooter and let me say this air rifle is very decent for the price, good quality and feels awesome in your hands. The stock is awesome and the CAT trigger is really smooth. I have mounted a Hammers 4-1240 AO Magnum Springer rated. My son hit a squirrel at 66 yards, heart lung shot, it went through the squirrel at that distance, absolutely amazing and accurate. So far no problems with the pellets loading, at the same time I always make sure it's loading properly before shooting. I don't rush the loading process, I listen for the click it makes after the pellet loads and then make sure the number changes. A tip before you shoot your air rifle after purchase, clean the barrel before you start shooting. There is a lot of protective grease in the barrel for long storage protection. Have fun and safe shooting!

Gamo, it's time to start including your better quality Magnum Springer Scopes with AO Mil-Dot, this is what we are all ending up with after we purchase your amazing product. It would be nice for once to purchase a full package air rifle and not have to buy an extra scope when one comes with one. Put your BSA scopes in the box please.

It's an amazing air rifle. First timers, be patient, watch some videos, practice, practice and in time you will begin to enjoy these amazing air rifles. Have fun and be safe.

Comes with nice adjustable scope , within 3 clicks of height and right and left adjustments was hitting in the red zone of target. Powerful, at 125 feet tears thru 4 cardboard walls., Multi shot magazine works great when using GAMO Pellets.will take Crossman but you need to push in with a pen tip, Customer Service is the best in the business , any problems they resolved immediately

scope position is fixed because of pin sticking out the bottom , bracket needs to be place 1/4 inch further back towards rifle Can only remove and replace cap for keeping lens clean and safe when cocking barrel Hidden chamber for extra magazine in( hallow out end ) of hand grip is 100% useless does not hold extra magazine safe., opens and magazine falls out without realizing it.

I've had to call customer service 3 time , 2 emails ,Gamo has the very best in Customer Service , that alone will maker me a repeat customer

Justin Aug 02, 2025

Exactly, you just need to push it in the right way until it clicks

Todd Nov 28, 2024

I've had not problem with the magazine storage in the handle, the mag locks in tight like it does on the barrel. It has a spring loaded catch like the barrel and has no way of dropping out even with the cover open.
