Man! this is The Thing! Crikey! Some guys at GAMO got it right this time. This thing ought to sell very very well. (Hell I bought it)
I'll tell you this Andy: I saw a 20-something kid in America review his. He got it by simply going to Wal-Mart and buying the "most expensive air rifle" the store had. Totally clueless. Well he lucked out in my opinion. So, I decided to dig down on this gun and that's how I found you, which is what I really needed. Not some youngster. The "game changer" (hate that expression but it fits here) is, of course, the 10 pellet magazine for...wait for it! a break-barrel??!!! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK Andy. Here's the thing. The scope which comes with the rifle is spot on. You hardly need to sight it in. Even The Kid was close. He had to adjust it slightly and then he was hitting the center of the target just like you are. This is incredible! Really. The effing gun is perfect right out of the box. I'd be nervous if The Kid was having a good test and you didn't. Or vice versa. But so far it's 2 out of 2. Crikey!! I'm gonna buy one.
Oh almost forgot. GAMO thought to sell it with a Real Wood Stock. Not that nasty plastic thing. The Varmint wood stock is just what I wanted, as an old timer (I'm probably your Dad's age). I've never gotten used to the modern materials deal...you know?
P.S. the American model is 1,000 feet per sec (w/ alloy pellet). That's rated at 17.70 ft/lbs or 24 J.
UPDATE: I just purchased mine from GAMO direct. $149.90 + $18.98 FedEx + $14.86 Tax = $183.74. Sweet!
I live in the USA and we do not have any Deaf Rabbits. Grin!
Yep Gamo has been making progress. I have the new Fusion Gen3i at 19 plus FPE with the GTO pellet and it is also very accurate. It is right on the tail of my HW95.
Cheers
Kit
Andy, with a Springer you will get the best accuracy by using a soft rest, eg a cushion or your hand.
This let's the gun recoil cleanly and consistently, a hard rest will change the pellet striking point and will punish accuracy from different positions.
Best me to it! 👍
Hi Mike, what is a realistic grouping from a remington sabre. .22 at 60 ft. Its a honest question, I am a Newby.
@@carllockpick6179 Hi Carl, sadly I've not tried one of those, but my Air Arms TX200 will do pellet on pellet, one hole groups all day with a consistent hold, pellet selection plays a part as you need to match the pellet to the gun and select for best accuracy. Anything made by JSB is always a good start, Air Arms, FX, JSB, Falcon accuracy plus and Webley Mosquitoes are all made by JSB and have subtle differences to experiment with.
Btw, skills learned shooting springers keep you 'honest' when shooting PCPs, Have fun shooting and best of luck.
@@mikehunt8968 Thank you Mike, best wishes, keep safe.
Quite true Mike! I tried using a barrel mount bipod for a while on my BSA Supersport and it was awful I take a small lead bag with me now if I think I will need it and if am not going to be travelling too far or simply use one of my PCP rifles on a bipod for the task instead.
American fan here. In the U.S., that's a first generation 10x system. GAMO has developed a Gen 2 swing-down mag system that lets the loading system lay flat on the barrel then swing down to load. It also has protection to keep you from accidentally double loading a second pellet. The low profile allows peep scope mounts to let you use iron sights as well. I prefer Gen 1, though. It's hard to believe you find that dampening system loud. It's about as quiet as they get here in the US. I just bought a .22 Swarm Hunter with the beechwood stock from GAMO's US website and it has no suppression system. It's louder, but still not as loud as, say, an unsuppressed Crosman. Keep up the great videos!
Same that rifle is badass. I hit everything with it out to50 yrds with ease
I just ordered the Gamo hunter22 curious how the gun is working out for you?
I have the predecessor to this rifle the Gamo shadowmatic,177,10 shot tube magazine feeding a rising and lowering trapdoor. Yes,its a bit noisy but its a powerfull rat basher all day. Been super reliable too,had it for well over 10 years! Nice review of an updated version!
Ace review. I really like the look of these. It would be great for my dad that due to arthritis now struggles with the awkward loading on his 177 Walther LGU. Gamo, for a long time have been alot better than what people give them credit for. My old 2006 Gamo CFX still puts out 10 foot pounds on the original spring and is every bit as accurate as my LGU, plus its much, much lighter.
Love a decent, well priced springer. It's what air rifles is all about for me.
The Gamo Magnum Swarm gen 2 is even better. 35 FPE - SPRINGER. 10 round magazine, comes with scope too. If youre outside the UK and can own a 35 FPE rifle, this is the one!
Much better than CO2.
Brought a HW 99s a while ago and was more than impressed and have left the scope off as it's more fun. Now deciding what to get next to put scope on. Air arms pro sport is what I'm thinking
That's an older version of the gun that Andy's demonstrated in the video. The 'GEN2' version has a low-profile magazine and iron sights. However, as I always say, the manufacturer who creates a reliable version of the 'Seneca Aspen/Nova Freedom' will make themselves a fortune. No more impractical, lugging around/constantly refilling, air tanks 24/7.
$ How much ?
Just got into air rifle shooting and grabbed myself a Gamo Swarm to start off. Love plinking targets in my garden with it.
Bought this as my first air rifle in 30years and i absolutely love it, your review is spot on, its a great rifle, for all round use and always puts a smile om my face
I just bought my first air rifle in...wait for it Taz...60 years! I was 14 then and am 75 now.
I bought the Maxxim Elite Swarm with a wooden stock about 2 weeks ago. It is essentially the same rifle, just with an adjustable cheek piece and rubber grip inserts. It chrono'd at my RFD at 11.9Ibft and is incredibly accurate once zeroed in using JSB Exact Diabolo pellets. It's a really well made Rifle, nice and lightweight, well balanced and lovely to use! I have a had a few squirrels with it and recommend it highly 👌
Thank you Andy for this new lecture, I am always learning something new in your channel, regards
Bought one in November..Great accuracy & a pleasure to shoot..
I used to have a Gamo Paratrooper with "tube" magazine back in the day. It was actually my first air rifle
I've got the magazine but the rifle seems to have disappeared.
I had the single shot Paratrooper as my first air rifle.
Thanks Andy a good honest review of what seems to be a quality rifle.
An amazing, affordable, and accurate rifle! Great review Professor Andy!
I like gamos, I’m glad you reserved your judgment till after testing.
Thanks great review, I hope the full power version is as accurate, I liked seeing you truly enjoying shooting, nice to see such an honest first hand experience.
Great review!!!
Gamo has already upgraded this system. In the GEN 2 the mag lays flat. And as a benifit it also has iron sites
I have not use mine in years but I may take it out today.
It's loud and packs a punch!
Morning all . I still own an El gamo . 22 Magnum I bought back in the Seventies . It still fires well and just as accurate as it was whey back when .Relax enjoy the shoot you can't go far wrong with a springer .............. Nice review Andy keep them coming mate .
great review as always! that looks like a pretty decent gun! and hey, having that big spring in it eliminates the need for air refills, fittings, tanks, adaptors, etc. a nice self contained unit. and the difference between filling it with air pressure or cocking it shouldn't be a deal breaker. after all, in the end, you're just pulling a trigger to deliver some air pressure to the back of the pellet. the pellet doesn't care where it comes from. ;)
Great to see your genuine joy in using a springer. Excellent review as always.
Great vid again andy. That is some accuracy as well, especially with the arc of sub 12ftlbs .22 cal. The. 177 i bet will be like a *laser beam " with that flatter trajectory. Hatsan do a version of this called the Speedfire. I do love the build quality of Hatsans and you get alot for your money with Quattro trigger system, fibre optic sights, recoil reduction system and an auto safety and 11mm-20mm dovetails also. All the best from lancashire
Great video as usual Andy, they are quality rifles worth every penny, I have the gamo swarm and it's fantastic quality for the dosh.
One vital thing you missed out there Andy is these come in both spring and gas ram. The Varmint models are gas ram. The models without the word "Varmint" are springers. I have the Varmint Barricade. With a bigger scope and RSW or H&N pellets, it's an amazing gun for what you pay.
Got a Speedster gen 2 in .177 last weekend and love it! I think Gamo/BSA have done away with the Springer variants and gone gas ram across-the-board with all the gen 2 models. Totally agree what you're saying about the H&N pellets. Try the Barracudas mine loves them.
I'm new to the air rifle scene so I'm wondering whats the difference between gas ram and springer? Is this particular model a springer as on air gun sites its listed under that category
@@paulgreen5746 hey Paul i have the speedster and roadster and they are actually a spring not gas ram,some sites are advertising them as igt but they are actually spring,i have found this out when i took mine apart and also pellpax got in touch with gamo and they confirmed that they are spring for the uk market and igt for europe and the u.s.
..if you are from europe or the u.s you can just ignore me ;)
Well I bought this rifle last year & it has written on it Varmint swarm & it's a Springer
@@stephenboyd4934 Yeah your right ,the 'varmint' models use a metal spring and the maxxim elite tactical version is a gas ram.
I'm so glad there was a review about my first rifle I'm about to buy!
My first since my old Benjamin .177 when I was a boy 65 years ago. I've been watching some of the iguana hunters in Florida, and then looking at various makers and models, in a half-hearted way. Watching various reviews. Saw one this evening (see my review above) and that led me to Andy.
Great vid on the strength of this I have just ordered my first air rifle it was the loading cartridge that did it for me will update when I receive my Gamo I canny wait 😀
The Gamos has become VERY good these last years. Many great Swarm model rifles by them out nowadays. Might easily concider a Gamo if ever want to get a multi-shot break barrel. Gamo do have nowadays some hard shooting break barrel rifles..
But my old Crosman Phantom has been more than enough of a break-barrel for me, so it will do for the time being at least. Never really concidered to start collecting break-barrel rifles. Got more than enough of replica airpistols already (Yea.. who am I trying to fool with that..🤣)..
Did actually wake up before 5am(3am UK time), to empty a couple of magazines with my Sig Sauer Virtus again before my work start at 6...
We sound the same lol, i've got 2 CO2 replica pistols and the cheapest springer chinese springer.
Now don't get me wrong i do like my humble budget springer but sometimes i look at the Gamos or other quality springers and think : "you better not start collecting springers!"
For the case of the CO2 pistols, i think with 2 i'm good for a while.
Gamo rifles are OK. I wish Gamo pellets were as good...
Great review, thanks. I'm looking for a new springer for some light pest control around a smallholding, plus some fun plinking and reviews like this help no end. Might now be treating myself next week!
Really look forward to my Friday morning AAR Reviews! This is a real ground breaker for springers and I’m sure will sell in large amounts, another extremely well presented and informative video!👍🏻🤗
Another quality AAR video, I only became interested in the air rifle scene about 2 months ago, and in that time I have watched numerous videos from Andy, and every single one is great! I actually bought this rifle a few weeks ago as I couldn't afford a PCP 😔. But I have no complaints with the gamo varmint swarm, it looks awesome, the magazine system is fantastic, it's accurate and all for a great price, definitely the best break barrel you can buy! Highly recommended by me!
Have you got to buy the magazine separately or does it come in the box
@@Br-hh2lm I know this is very late, but it comes with it in the box, Mine came with 2 but I think that is because it was delivered whilst I was in the shop and the RFD hadn't been able to sneakily remove one in front of me, I think the RFD removes one from each box that comes in, to sell them as they are usually advertised as coming with one magazine and are £29.99 each for an extra one at my local RFD
And another vote for! I just bought mine (it's a year later by the way, March 22, 2024). Read my lengthy review.
@@Br-hh2lmin the box. Every thing but the pellets are in the box.
I guess that's their modern answer to their EXPOMATIC model with the top-rail tubular magazine from the 1980's.
This was my first gun, It is a great gun for a beginner ! Started my obsession.
The person that sold it to me said. When your comfy and want to upgrade, bring it back and you can part exchange.
Crazy guy !! You don't bring your first kid back, when you have a second one 😂
Thanks Andy. A great review as always.
Thanks for that. Quality vid. Enjoy your Friday 👍
That’s a handsome firearm and a convincing review. Thanks Andy.
Excellent and entertaining review. Thanks for posting.
Had a Gamo air rifle, really great and value for money.
Nice review Andrew , people don't realize how accurate the Gamos are now days. I'm here in the states and my magnum gen 2 is very accurate and up to 29 fpe. My original magnum .22 not as strong ( 24 - 27 fpe ) but insanely accurate with terminators .
Thank you for this. I’ve been waiting for this since I asked you about it at the shooting show.
This video has just reminded me of a multi-shot air rifle I owned alongside my BSA and Dianna in the early 90s (oh, and I’ve just remembered I also had a Weihrauch side lever). Anyway, the multi-shot rifle I had was an absolutely awful Chinese thing. The stock was more orange than wood colour but as it had a 10 or 12 shot magazine it appealed to me no end as a 13 year old lad! I can’t remember exactly if it was a break barrel or side lever, but instead of working in the same way as the Gammo in this video, You used to use the barrel/lever to pump up a little air cylinder and then manually turn the magazine. It was the worst thing I have ever used, seen or heard, so it was good to see the idea being used in a gun that doesn’t look like it was plucked of a tree!
Even though I wish you have reviewed the gen 2 configuration I am still extremely happy with having the abillity to watch the review from you !!
Thank you !!
Also for what is worth I do not have problem to see an AK review ... actually I would be happy
Well done Andy, the one I was waiting for. Really enjoy your reviews.
Glad you’re staying apolitical Andy! 👍🏼
I have one of the older ones in .177, but side by side, I couldn't tell it apart from this one. Mine has been very accurate and reliable, although I have heard of some people having utter nightmares with them. It is very lairy if you get the wrong pellets, but if you stick with heavy and expensive, it's great. I really like mine, as does everyone else who's ever shot it, but I can appreciate there are quite a few out there that were knocked together at siesta time.
Great review,accuracy 👌 and a good looking springer well done Gamo.
Andy, as always a terrific review.
I’ve been testing a few pellets on my gamo swarm hunter in .177. So far the daisy flat heads have been performing best. I like the 10x system that allows you to test 10 pellets at a time. I bought an extra cartridge just for that purpose. Great review!
How much you pay for yours? I'm finding best prices at £290
@@199compoundI just purchased mine from GAMO direct. $149.90 + $18.98 FedEx + $14.86 Tax = $183.74. Sweet!
I have the updated version called the bone collector in .22 cal with wood stock $319 in the USA 🇺🇸. I made a moderator for mine see on my channel and it works . Thanks Andy . Peter
Great show and information. Like Gamo air rifle.
definitely one to add to the cabinet. hatsan also do a couple of similar versions. both break barrel and an underlever version. never seen one used though. that gamo is nice and accurate
Wow Andy now this could very be the one for me Iv got a pcp air arms s410f and boy do I love it but probably like most on here I started life in airguning with a springer and truth be known your first love never really leave ya.Great review all the very best 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
Great review as always and what an interesting and good looking rifle.. thanks Andy kind regards Dave 😁👍👍👍👍
I use a gamo whisper X swarm for target practice love that loading system. It's a really good quality gun 👍👌
That was a very good review. Thank you !
Good work,thank you.
The Gamo break barrels are awesome. Fun to shoot due to the recoil and kick, accuracy, and price. The Bone Collector Gen 2 is another awesome gun.
Love the wood stock on that one 😁.
Great review Andy, nice gun and well done.
Not being an airgun user, I find it funny to comment on the 'noise'. I use Centerfire .22 , 6.5 Creedmoor and 338 Lapua and those really make noise :). Great video, always interesting content!!
I got the .177 version it's great knocks the pigeons down every time 👍
Another fine review. Thank you
Mine hits harder than what he says no doubt. I'm in the USA though. Mine says 800 with lead. And my rifle was dead on within 2 mags. It really does shoot so dang good. Feels good in hands. I can't say enough good things about this rifle. 134 I paid
Delightful shooting , welcome back to gas piston springers
Good video! Looks like a fantastic piece of kit. Personally, I'd pick a good old fashioned springer over a PCP any day of the week.
Greetings Andy ! I've got something to say ? It's freezing 🥶 had heating on since I arrived back from the Sudan 🇸🇩 ..... Got around , even though I can't walk anymore .... Great tan as well ...
Great review Andy , fine rifle .. crack shooting...... it's a winner. .... take care 🙂 cheers Simon
That is a fine review. thank you. Rev
I have a first generation Swarm and it is more than I expected in accurateness. The magazine reloading spring broke once and Gamo replaced it no problem with up dated spring and reloader for free. More often than not I reach for the Swarm before I go for my Umarex gauntlet which I do also enjoy using.
Wow that was nice of them.
LOVE YOUR REVIEWS THANKS
I have a Gammo Maxxim Elite and i love it
Good call, with the AK 🤔 like the other guy love a good springer me, always have ever since I used to drawl over the latest models when I was a lad,in our local gunshop was a real traditional good shop,but sadly no longer,but now we've got the internet,oh well ! nice video as usual, welcome relief.thanks and atvbDave
Andy you’ve done it again. I bought the GX40 on your review. Great gun and now you’ve forced me to open wallet surgery again.
Thanks buddy all the best.
PS the VS is a gas ram not a springer.
Hi andy i already own one but you described it as a spring gun when it is a igt inert gas technology gas ram and the trigger is plastic and not metal but as you said it is a budget gun and manufactured to a high standard of quality yes it is a bit loud and not really suitable for the back garden but for hunting and pest control that is not a problem i would recommend putting a ao scope on it i have the harke vantage 3-9x50ao on mine and it is perfect i am 60 now and first started shooting with a spring gun when i was about 12 but now i am mainly a pcp man the advantage a spring gun as over a pcp is that there is less to go wrong and you don't need take all the accessories with you so if you go camping and want to shoot a few rabbits for a nice stew around the camp fire then a spring gas ram gun is the perfect choice great review as always andy just one thing we are humanity hominids ascending from our true ancestors the great apes migration colonisation time evolution civilisation the material field the status quo but please remember not to give a chimpanzee a live hand grenade because it will pull the pin lol all the best mike
Great review. thanks!
Perfect rifle in my opinion, the synthetic is light, nice grip, accuracy perfect, and the magazine just the cherry on the top, in my opinion this is the best rifle you're going to get unless you start paying silly money, i prefer break barrels anyway, outstanding gun, wouldn't be bad at twice the price.
True that.
I got one, and a HW 97, 177, gamo 22, both good guns
Definitely will be added on my list
Great review Andy, I have the camo rocket swarm in 22 calibre, in a real tree camo only sold in the UK, and its gas. Other than that its the same great gun.
As my old springer (pretty much an antique really) looks like a write-off for consistency, I'm looking for a replacement. This is looking ideal.
Springer in 40m 👀 wow, well done sir 👌 I'm in shock too 😁
Ha cuantos JOULES !! De potencia está esa GAMO hay en su estado !! Saludos desde España !!
the rotary feed is great brings back memories of the asi paratrooper repeater
I do love classic line rifles too, with straight lines, without belly under the stock.
Btw. You should try Evanix AR4K. Very compact, lightweight, accurate even at 100 yrds, fast repeating system, and classic feel wood stock.
Reminded me of my old Airsporter, nice review 👍
I'm glad it's got instructions on the correct way to put it in. Putting it in the wrong way and cocking it would cause all sorts of problems.
First time that I’ve seen a springer with a magazine. 10 out of ten Gammo.
Gamo have done it before (40 years ago), I have an ASI (the importer for Gamo in the UK) Paratrooper Repeater. It has a tube mag feeding a pop up breach. It was a bit pellet fussy as the pellet length had to match the depth of the pop up, and you could only really use domed diabolo pellets, but it worked well enough. It was also offered in more traditional wooden stock and sold as the 'Sniper'. There is also the Artemis SR900S sidelever, with a rotary mag.
@@engineeredlifeform well I thank you for the information. Even at my old age I can still learn new things. Much appreciated.
IIRC there was also a BSA springer repeater back in the early 90s?
@@marty8535 wow thanks for letting me know.
Wow a air rifle with a barrel that breaks how sarcastic
I have to say it's amusin to watch you amused. Nice gun!
My first gun for a while was a Gamo whisper sting kit. Priced at £162.00 then for the complete kit, it has given me hours of fun.
I shoot mine at 30m and consistently achieve close groupings. I do find that it shoots ok out to 40 and 50m, but to be absolutely honest, I simply have better guns for these distances.
What makes the Gamo special? It is light, not just in terms of weight, but also the cocking mechanism. So for a couple of hours plinking and 67 year old arms, it is ideal.
This new gun, with the magazine, wooden stock and better one piece mount, looks like an absolute bargain and I would dearly love one.
In regards to Andy not being familiar with springers! Someone of your age Andy must have fired a few in your time. Combine that with being a pretty good shot in any event, your grouping with a new rifle seemed pretty good to me.
Another great review, but sadly not for me. I have a Weirauch 97k on order, a Weirauch 80 in my cupboard but I would consider this item if I ever sell my whisper sting.
Have a Gamo break barrel .22...gas ram , suppressed barrel, fibre sights, synthetic stock, was £85 a few years back, good back up when you run out of ar.
Good morning Andy. I really like this rifle. It seems very easy to work with. Perhaps a slider reload might be a better option. 🤔
Hi andy, had one in 177, absolutely fantastic gun loved it, but unfortunately build quality is shocking, it was very accurate mine was gas ram, 11 ft pound, after 3 months dropped to 9, plastic breech block developed a fault, when striped packed with black grease causing desiling, cocking arm made a masive score on the gas ram, piston seal very poor, split when factory assembled, it was one of my favourite guns, i think if it was put together with better quality it would be a winner, mine is currently out of action thanks for good review
Nice one Andy, great gun at this price...
Good one Andy. Reared on springers and have a soft spot for them. Always fancied the old Theoben SLR. Try shooting the Springer off a stack of soft cushions just cradling the grip and stock enough to guide the rifle then allow it to recoil. Shooting from a hard tripod will not do any favours for accuracy. Good review mate
Thanks for the great review and respect for the current global crisis.
Great shooting!!! I know what you mean about Springers they are rewarding though especially when you hit the target like that mate 👍great "budget gun"
Great shooting Andy!!!!!!.
Nice review! I definitely need to check this out better!!!
Nothing wrong with that, is there?
Cracking rifle. 👍
Well done, Andy.
Great Video.
Jus got this but it's the hunter version with no baffle jus a huge muzzle. Shoots great. 4x32 scope. Wish I got the 3x9x32 or 40. Update. The rifle shots crosman hp, rws extra point and round head exactly the same. No need to re sight the scope each time. Never in my life has that happened. So dang happy is this guy.
Love it I think I'll get one brilliant price with the scope as well
