I came here to thank this gentleman for such an informative video and instead I learned he's no longer with us I only know him through this video yet i couldn't help but becoming sad so my sincerest condolences to his family and thank you sir for sharing your knowledge with complete strangers.
Very sad to hear. I just found this channel and I was aware he was suffering from Cancer, but I did not realise he had died. Sorry to hear that.
Wow we sometimes forget how much we value certain RUclips reviewers and really what it takes to bring us decent up to date information. Getting off track here, I heard he was going through cancer treatment but I had know idea that he passed on.I will miss your videos and Iam so sorry for your family and friends I just wish I could have gotten to know him outside the screen. RIP Kenny M
I'm very sorry to hear of the passing of Mr Kenny, a world of knowledge in the airgun world. RIP Brother
Kenny passed away a good while back, He was a wealth of knowledge for the common man air gun shooter.
Many excellent (how to videos)
Ive shot air guns for almost 50 years and I've learned many kool tips and tricks from Kenny over the last few years.
RIP Kenny... from all of us who know how wise you were and sincerely appreciated all the time and effort you put into sharing with us... you are so very much missed.... I hope to meet you face to face on the other side of this life someday and enjoy a pleasant conversation with you sir.
Thank YOU and your knowledge lives on, on this RUclips channel... may it never be taken down.
Kenny was one of the very best Air Gun reviewers, he is sadly missed,...Rest in Peace Kenny!
I bought a Benjamin Nitro break barrel in .177 from Walmart. It’s been a great rifle.
I got the same but in .22 it’s great so far
Oh man. I'm SO SORRY to hear you passed on Kenny. Very good videos. RIP brother.
I think part of the difference is Joe is used to shooting a fwb300, where putting pellets in the same hole at 25 meters is the standard. To shoot that gun well also requires scopes that are also excellent. Walmart sells fun guns, decent accuracy, good value, but nobody is going to win accuracy competitions with those guns against high end airguns.
Ive never watched you but seeing the comments , rest in peace
Kenny, may the Almighty Lord keep you in his Divine Light. We dearly miss you!!.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
really miss Kenny he was one of the most honest air gun reviewer on youtube. I re-watch his videos from time to time because I enjoyed his channel so much RIP Kenny

Whoops
RIP Kenny - I never did watch a whole lot of these videos, but It is sad to lose someone of his knowledge and wisdom.
I've listened to people all over the world, and I've come to the conclusion that some like to hear the air do laps inside their head.
And thankfully, there are folks like you and I who have no problem with providing them with negative feedback. Some occasions in a tactful and diplomatic manner, other times quite direct and w/o sugar coating.
Thanks for the excellent vid. Maybe next time we can receive a treat of your plinkin a target or if ya know of a old barn with a rat issue, can help the owner out!
Take care.
R.I.P KENNY.... was lookin for another video.
Sad to hear that :(
I miss Kenny and his no-nonsense reviews of low priced airguns. He had an adequate knowledge of his subject, and always gave us the real deal as he saw it because purchased the guns he reviewed with his own cash. Therefore he wasn’t beholden to any one company. I didn’t always agree with his findings, but I respected the fact he was putting his opinions to public domain, expecting criticism and Evan ridicule from a minority of his viewing audience. Rest easy friend.
Luv you pumpin out the vids Kenny. Up here in the great white north i got a Crosman phantom .22 from Walmart. Did the piston mod (only 495fps in Canada) and your trigger fix and can stack pellets all day long. Personally i would rather tune a cheap gun to kick ass than buy an expensive rifle. Its a hobby just like building models. When you are done its unique to you. Not a carbon copy that everyone owns!! And the look on their eyes when a $200 rifle out shoots a $600 gun is priceless. Keep it old school Kenny!!
I purchased my Gamo Swarm Maxxim Get 2 .177 at Walmart. This gun was available at several stores but Walmart was close to home. I'm new to the hobby and have been having fun target shooting. I have had no problem with the rifle after about a month of shooting 3-4 times a week. Thanks for the video.
I like this guy. Shame to see by the comments that he has passed on.
Here’s my 2p, no one ever started in this hobby with a $2500 PCP custom air rifle being their first airgun. Most started out with a Red Rider, crossman combo bb/pellet, or some other inexspensive unit from Sears, Kmart, Walmart, or the local General Store. Don’t sleep on the Walmart guns. Some of them are very fine and reliable shooters. Big money doesn’t always mean “must buy.” I love that Kenny told it like it is and wasn’t one of these airsnobs. RIP Brother.
I agree 100%, it's the gun snobs that look down on everyone else and what they choose. I am a watch collector and have many Rolex and higher, I still love my seiko and I know it's not a Rolex but understand what it is and where it fits in. Same thing with Guns or anything else, it's the snobs that can't handle it.
The ruger max elite 22cal has great power & accuracy for 160$ absolutely a great buy. Thanks for the video & your knowledge.
Yes it does..had to have it on the rack
I miss Kenny I know he is in heaven shooting air guns and having great time God bless to Kenny family all my prayers oldgeorge Northern California.
*R.I.P. Kenny, we'll miss ya.*
Thanks for your efforts for the affordable airgun enthusiast. I've watched your videos since I got back into airgun world and wow things have changed since the 70 when I was given my first gun.keep up the great work.
i set up a five gallon steel bucket at about fifty yards (fifty paces) and i can hit the thing 9 times out of ten standing up with the scope provided. i like my ruger impact max elite. it performs.
@@TierNone_LarperatoR i do believe in fast trigger pull... Gonna look up artillary hold. Is that full arm extension?
@@TierNone_LarperatoR ok looked uo artillary hold... Going to try it
@@TierNone_LarperatoR by your name i assume you're half apache and half german... And maybe a skinwalker lol
My thoughts exactly. That other guy talking about mixed midgets seemed to know way more about mixed midget prostitutes than he does air rifles.
Thanks for your helpful and honest review.
I have a Daisy 880 with a 28$ barska scope. I love it. Shoots thumbnail sized groups at 22 yards. I can hit 20oz pop bottles at 80 us yards all day too. If that ain't minute of squirrel, idk what is! I've put almost 15,000 pellets through it and it's as good as the day it was new. I was given a Gamo socom and before 2000 shots the spring broke.
Only problem with Walmart getting someone at sporting goods
Yea they either are missing in action, or when you do get someone. They got a shit ass attitude and have Zero clues as to what your questions are. All I get is I dont know sir. Or a MAYBE.... ZERO fkng sense or help.. your right.
Oh snapp that's crazy..I thought I was the only one here in Columbus ohio
That is the truth!!! It seems like they're always in a bad mood.
Correction, the diana 34 is made by Diana, a quality German manufacturer. Umarex imports them to the states. Do not confuse the model 34 with Wal-Mart rifles. Different animals completely.
You did a very good teaching video . Thanks
I wasn’t expecting a truthful review, yours was. I bought 2 rifles from Walmart Benjamin Prowler .22, and the Crosman F4 .177 couldn’t be happier. The price of the guns and pellets are very inexpensive.
I have the prowler myself it was my first buy. I wish he would have covered it..love it just need better pelets
Bought a dual caliber Beaman from Walmart. It has turned out be one of the best guns I have,especially the .22 cal.Crosman hollow points and alot of break in time.Now a deadly varmint and pest killer.I have found the Gamo to be a turd.Have a Remington..177 proving to be a good gun as well.
Those dual calibers. Leak pressure at the breach between where the barrel slides in . you can see where the chamber hot gases escape. shot nice though
Sir, I am SO happy that you made this very impressive, and very informative video. Too many people make videos JUST to make them LOOK GOOD. But they don't realize that when a true professional comes along, now they look STUPID.
Thanks for the Love Kenny ,Glad you enjoyed my video !! Honestly I've owned all the rifles but one I did the video on some were quite good shooters , some were duds . Glad you have had better luck with some than I had . The video was a lot about just having fun . Wasn't an attack on Walmart :)
Thanks for being gracious Joe. Two sides of the same coin I think.
Tony Kindred ..Thanks Tony , Its the best part of the forums and different channels ...Get to hear different opinions :)
I think what got me was the Admiration of The Dianna while you pulled the Rug from Ruger. To be honest, I think the Walmart only Ruger Air Hawk Elite II for $99.97 is the Best entry level Pellet Rifle on the Market. P.S. Have you ever shot a Crosman Piranha?
myairgunreviews ..Yes I've shot them . Got a tin when they first came out . They shot great in my HW30. Well not great , but good . Seemed an odd topic for a video , basically calling bullshit on someone else's opinions. But that's the beauty of airguns ..Something for everybody
Joe, you are a true southern gentleman and I admire your patience and poise. Love your videos and respect and appreciate the knowledge you share. I watch Kenny's videos as well out of general interest, as difficult as it can be, but don't let take it to heart, he's just grumpy...
you are absolutely correct on everything you said Kenny , I agree !
We miss you and your air gun reviews hope you found peace
If I'm understanding you right, the Ruger Air Hawk shoots accurately after a number of rounds down range. I bought one a few years back and shot maybe 25-30 rounds through it and it wouldn't group for anything. I stuck it away in a closet and there it sits. I shot a friends RWS and the accuracy was awesome. I had planned on buying one, but if this closet case Ruger will shoot, I'll give it another chance. Thanks!
Buddy Fuentes the airhawks are the easiest air rifle to strip down and tune, the trigger is not a brain twister puzzle, and it all cleans up real nice. Strip that thing down and tune it up, round and polish the end of the trigger adjustment screw especially! chamfer the loading bore a little, make sure the oring at the breech is nice and proud, and you will be blown away by that airhawk. They are great guns, super simple and solid and really nice looking, just need those finishing touches.
Actually, and Kenny is correct in what he said about Umarex,...they now own the greater number of 'air gun manufacturers and brand names ' out there. It's like Marlin and Remington rifles ( and perhaps others too ) these are owned by a 'bean counter' group of moneymen,....so Companies are like any other commodity that are bought and sold,....
The best Air Gun to buy is the one that meets your budget and has the most positive things said about it.
Enjoy the hobby and shoot safely!.
I learned alot of things from this mans Channel
I bought a gamo whisper 1000 a few years ago from Wal-Mart I loved that gun 'wish I could find another one 'I lost it in Tennessee 'someone wanted it more then me I guess 'I don't think gamo even makes that model anymore .
When a Gamo works, it works well. I went through two different Silent Cat Whispers and both were defective. I did review the Wildcat Whisper and Loved it.
@@myairgunreviews sorry to be late to the condolences I just heard RIP my friend I truly appreciate your opinion
a neighbor got a crosman and it is a decent gun.but, when i found out it was not very costly,i was totally impressed.i thought that for the price he paid it was very good.my .25 walther talon magnum is umerex and i like it.a hard hitting springer and it is fun to shoot.
Gamo varmit is a good 1 an f4 is good 1 an rugur is a good 1 brake barrel an the 1866 BB an pellet I love em.i get all my guns from wal mart. Love em
I am sorry to hear of the passing of Kenny. 2 Corinthians 5:8 “...to be away from the body and at home with the Lord” God Bless
You will find out, i will pray for you
Sinister 240 GOD is REAl.
Folks, the best way to avoid conflict is to keep religion OUT of your commenting!
Reg Sparkes We are not afraid of conflict.
@Sinister 240 I hoped that too. Not only is He real, but terrifying to people who do not do the right thing when no one is watching. On the other hand He is beyond kind to anyone who will just accept it. Sadly, we in the West have been reprogrammed by some shady people with bad agendas...agendas worse than fake preachers ever explained. I speak from learning the hard way and having to experience it myself. Jesus is who He says He is and His words are difficult but good for us.
Dude told it like it is and was.verry knowledgeable man...god bless....
Best pellet gun I bought was the beeman tenton .22 break barrel. Its powerful enough my dad uses it for pest control when its needed, and I enjoy shooting it at my local range or at his place on his junk printers he has. The one I got also came with a decent 4x32 scope once I zeroed it in. RIP good sir o7!
KENNY BANG ON I BROUGHT A HATSAN COMBO £125 , one of the best rifle ive ever had , took a shoot at 100 metres and hit the wiindow on a caravan , which was dumped on our land , used a £500 PCP, FELL SHORT , ive got a Walter R8 - A KRAL BREAKER PUNCHER , A LEE ENFIELD, BUT THAT HATSAN FOR SUCH LITTLE PRICE NEVER MISSED A SHOT , MY MATE HAS THIS RIFLE TOO, BUT HE JUST AIR ARMS TX , HE SAID HED NEVER TRADE HIS HATSAN IN ,
I got a Benjamin prowler from Walmart. Sighted the scope in at 30 yards and it is super accurate and reliable
Mine just broke, needs new piston but it was very accurate and hit hard.. I upgraded the scope, it's perfect for racoons
I got mine from academy. I shot through a privacy fence the first time I shot it. Wasn't maple but it still went through, so I got concerned thinking it doesn't hit hard. I kill rabbits with it. One shot kills. I wouldn't let a kid use it though. I don't think it's safe enough for a kid.
Speaking of the Walmart Crosman F4, I have discovered that JSB Match Diabolo Exact RS .177 Cal, 7.33 Grains, Domed, are best for my particular F4. I was hoping one of the heavier pellets would work best, but that hasn't been my experience thus far.
Kenny I'm looking up toward Heaven laughing at this video again you are greatly missed my friend and I appreciate this video on Joe Rhea from Cyclops videos I laugh every time I watch this video ! Givem hell even from Heaven my friend
Every mature adult should own a Air Rifle or 2.
Bought my centerpoint 4-16 mildot from walmart and mounted on my Benjamin titan .22 and it has endured over 3000 shots with no issues. 1 inch groups at 50 yards with HN FTT Power pellets.
Kenny, I've picked up 5 or 6 breakbarrel springers at Walmart and some of them have been closeouts and clearance so I got "better than good" prices, but they were all available elsewhere , just as you stated, at higher prices, even stacked against Walmart's regular pricing. And for the most part they have been worth more than I paid. I like Joe's channel but he was just wrong putting any of this on Walmart. Walmart in general catches a lot of hell, but if their deep discounts went away the most anti China among us would be pissin' and moanin' about the "good ol' days" when we could get a 500 count tin of Crosman HP pellets for sub $7. Thanks for speaking out on this issue. I know your health has been bad lately and I really hope you get better. The airgun world would be less without your "common man" take on things.
I've owned high end and low end break-open spring piston rifles and pistols for years. The main conclusion I've come to is that it boils down to the individual firearm and the user. I own a Diana Model 34 in .177, and a Beeman Webley Vulcan in .22. I've owned Crosmans and Gamos, Daisies and Rugers. They've all had benefits and drawbacks. We're not talking about real data here, we're talking about personal preference. It's all good info.
Thank you for honest review of these guns.
Thanks Kenny, I really appreciate your honest and informative reviews. 👍🏼
My comment is for the maker of this video which I very much enjoyed. I have a pellet gun I bought when I was around fifteen at the local Canadian Tire. I live in Quebec. It is a Ruko Gamo, made in Spain. This particular air rifle is 495 fps. In Canada, or at least Quebec if your pellet gun does better than 500 fps you need an firearms aquisition certificate. It has the safety in front of the trigger, So it can be on right up until you want to shoot. You just push it forward and safety is off. A decent set of sights and a tube magazine that 26 flat head only, pellets. Well, I had three boys and My youngest in particular seems to have super human strength. He breaks almost everything he touches. This rifle had a plate for lack of a better word, that when you cocked the rifle, the plate would come up. When you closed the rifle the plate would come down and a pellet would load into the hole in the plate . When closed the hole would line up with the barrel and the hole where the compressed air comes out to make the pellet go. One of these days I'm going to take out my scroll saw and cut myself out a new piece but for now the piece that stopped that plate from just falling out got broken the first time I let him use it. You mentioned that Ruko wasn't really good on quality control and the seals were kind of not good. The next time I tear it down I'm going to check that. It always seemed pretty consistent, still to this day. Well, if I could shoot it. Maybe the quality was better back in the early 80's? Late 70's. ? I know I paid 178.00 plus tax and the 22 was 69.00. I mean A real 22 not a pellet gun. Anyway I hope I got you interested. I've been trying to buy the parts to fix it and I'm just going to make them myself and save the hassle. The company never got back to me and didn't even have any info on my model. Thank you again for a great posting.
Tell them!!! I thought the same thing when I saw that video your talking about. I missed you buddy! Keep the videos coming fast!
100% spot on and accurate with everything you said
I have purchased a Gamo swarm fusion gen2, and I must be the lucky one to get a true shooting gun, after hearing your comments about the company.
I have a gen1 whisper swarm in .22 and it’s a tack driver. When they’re on they are great
Mine works great!
Thank you for the great video. I bought the Rugar Blackhawk Elite at Walmart about 3 years ago. I didn't have any of the problems he spoke of other than the over lubrication which I would rather have over shelf corrosion. I have had no problems with it and for the money, I thought it was a great buy. I don't use airguns regularly but for my purpose, our here in the country, let's just say it's a lot cheaper to use pellets over .22 LR.
Kenny, you are right on the money! I've been enjoying your videos for quite awhile and have gotten many helpful tips. God bless you and yours, and good health to you sir!
Proud Walmart gamo swarm maxxim w/3×9×40 gamo scope 177cal. And I can drive tacs at 30 ft all day hands down the best air rifle I've ever had. The trick to the gun is finding a pellet that the gun likes in my case I've found the crossman gold flight 8.5gr 177cal. They have devastating effects on small game.. I've never been so happy with a airgun. Next stop the crossman f-4
Best time to buy airguns is after Xmas when Walmart starts marking the old models down the last time i got 2 for 30 and 35 bucks. Almost a 100$ markdown well worth it...
Some long distance stats with my $85 Crosman F4 and $35 Winchester 4x30 scope from Walmart....Gun is great with 20 meter plinking too of course. Makees you say mmmmm about $300 guns.
45 meters: Hit and penetrated crawfish tray 6/6 shots and made about a 6" grouping!
70 meters: Hit and penetrated crawfish tray 3/3 shots and made about a 10" grouping!
RIP you are missed with your reviews on air guns may you be in God's hands
I thank you for this video Sir. Although I live in the UK where we don't have Walmart we do have a very large supplier here who specialise in low/mid price air weapons and I and others who I shoot with would completely agree on the points you have raised (especially about those awful Shark pellets). One cannot start talking about Rugers, Dianas , Gamos or even our own beloved BSAs unless you know (as you obviously do) who really makes them ! There is so much ignorance about air weapon manufacturers these days and I was very happy to see you explode quite a few myths. Well done ! :-)
may not be the place to post this but here goes I bought a Ruger Blackhawk Elite from Amazon refurbished for $59.99 maybe being refurbished fixed the problems you talked about I am impressed by the gun didn't like the scope so I bought a CVLIFE 4x32 Tactical Rifle Scope Red & Green &Blue illuminated Reticle Scope with Fiber Optic Sight I would give it 4 out of 5 stars because it needs batteries other than that the price " I'm cheap " lol $47.99 but then you get what you pay for I have it set up the way I like it and thats what matters keep up the good reviews and thanks
I bought a few, and I'm happy with them.
Ya did you're home work for Sure! Nicely done!!
I have my 177 Winchester 1100ss that gun is a beast of a springer I was hitting cans at 90 yards with no problem
Ken I bought the legacy got it home and after taking the 3rd shot the gun failed to shoot after resetting the bolt multiple times it finally discharged, I took it back to Walmart. Went back to the sporting goods dept. and after looking I saw tucked in the back locked case a F4 I asked the clerk how much is this one? 79.00 he said, I said I'll take it!! After I got home I set it up with a 4 X 32 Bushnell... This gun is awesome, after sighting it in 5 shot groups at 25ft inside a quarter!! I can't believe Walmart here in Green Bay still had a F4 for 79.00, while in the top cabinet it was 109.00 I admit I was a bit worried about the 2 stage trigger But I'll watch your video on how to adjust it so it has a lighter pull... sighted it in and on Sunday morning from my window overlooking my backyard garden I saw a rabbit in the garden munching away on my veggies. I got the F4 from my computer room loaded it with a Crossman Premier pointed 7.4gr pellet. I carefully lowered the screen took aim for the head shot and let loose, the rabbit will munch no more. Upon impact the rabbit collapsed the kill was instantaneous. I'm estimating the shot was between 15 to 20ft. away, when I went to retrieve the rabbit there was a lot of blood and both entrance and exit wound told the story of a accurate shot and clean kill. So glad I decided on the Crossman F4... Very affordable and very effective! I know it was a short range shot but I'm confident it will be lethal to 25yrds IMO on rabbits & squirrels.
FPS doesnt = accuracy. Most advertised FPS is with the lightest pellets in that particular caliber. anything over 900FPS gets squirrelly above 20 yards. Like everything else you get what you pay for.
Only things that love speed are slugs, need over 950fps to really stabilize them.
You should stay below the speed of sound or above it all the way to the target. If not the pellet gets upset by the breaking of the sound barrier shock wave.
There is nothing wrong with Walmart Airguns or their real firearms. Most of the time what's wrong with the gun is the one that's shooting it. Too many people buy guns and they don't know a damn thing about them. Everybody thinks their an expert and a lot of them have had no real training with a firearm.
True. I have a crossman break barrel and love the gun and the price i paid for it with the Center Point scope. Love it.
Wow you guys are amazing! Who knew there was so much to know. I just bought a crossman vantage 22 to fend off wild dogs . Seems to shoot straight with plenty of power.
S&W and Walther have outsourced their airguns to Umarex, when guns come with a lifetime transferable warranty, they have to be high quality
Reportedly the Rugers are also rebranded Umarex.
Get yourself a Bear River Sportsman 900 .177 multi-pump air rifle. For $60-$80, It is an incredible gun. Using H&N Barracuda and Silver Point pellets, I consistently hit a 2" target between 40-50 yards using a red dot sight. I have shot thousands of rounds with it since I purchased it last winter and there is no noticeable decrease in compression due to the o-rings wearing out. For the $, you can't lose. I never heard of it before running across it online by accident. Check it out.
Scott Nelson imma check it out. I’m looking for a budget air rifle.
Hey Kenny, I watched the same videos. Now, I'm not a high end air gunner, but I enjoy target shooting in my backyard. When Joe talked about never buying scopes in blister packs, I was like, but I have two and I have never had any problems with them. I also have the Umarex NXG, which he said to avoid. I bought it at Wal-Mart without the scope and put one of those blister pack scopes on it. I haven't had any problems with either of them. I enjoy the videos, keep them coming!
My only complaint about Walmart's air rifles (at least in my area), is the absence of larger calibers. It would be nice to see them sell .25 rifles and pellets.
2A Enthusiast I don't think they ever will
Thanks kenny good info just ordered a Ruger Silenthawk .177 this week from my local Walmart $119 free shipping store pickup Thanks again Kenny
I bought a Ruger (Umarex) springer, Yukon, I think, .22 at Wally World, and it is accurate and fairly powerful.
Very good
Miss you Kenny!!!
Its good to see an old school ol boys stating the facts for the kids. I must say you absolutely know exactly what you are talking about as I have had about the exact same ball of wax you are talking right here. I had my 1st BB gun when I was 6 years old. I was taught safety 1st with that Daisy lever action bb gun. I went hunting with my Father and i carried that BB gun (it was much cooler than the stick he made me carry prior to that) LOL. Yea I was not going to kill any Pheasants, Rabbits, Deer or anything else with that gun but my Father taught me safety with that BB gun. Yes I still have that gun to this day and it cocks and shoots every time. I have been around guns my entire life and by God I know safety like no other. The reason for the long winded story is "kids now days think they know it all and have their opinion of everything and dont give a damn if they steer people off the correct path" This is my opinion and only my opinion but I would bet Dollars to Doughnuts that most of the old boys like my self and you would agree. If you did not agree you would not have made this video. (Can I get an Amen?) When I turned 11 years old my Father bought me a brand new H&R 20 GA. single shot and he knew that that was the right time to give me that shotgun because he taught me safety 1st. Yep I am almost done LOL. In 1984 the day after I got out of high school @ 17 years old (my Dad signed the approval paperwork) I was on my way to Marine Corps Boot camp. I had been in the delayed entry program for 9 months. By God himself I found out just how smart my Father actually was and just how little the punk kid that I was previously did not have a clue about. This country would not be as F'ed up as it is if kids would just learn to shut their trap ad open their ears. Yea I went way off track but I think the bottom line is there.

I agree with everything u said. I have a whisper fusion elite which is 1 of my favorite guns. I bought the swarm maxxim in .177 and it shoots hard but only likes 2 pellets. Rws super point and crosman pointed. I tried 15 or 16 different ones and those r the only 2 is shoots straight. I also have the .22 and it loves at least 8 different pellets. They both jam with cheap Daisy pellets but besides that the magazine has worked great. U really should get the .22 swarm maxxim it's a fun gun to shoot. My crosman tr77s np will hit the claims with ease and my Benjamin np xl 725 and 1100 might not hit their marks but come close and shoot hard as hell. I have also bought 3 scopes in bubble packaging from wal-mart with no problems. That's just the manufacturer trying to save a few bucks. Keep up the reviews and thank u for sharing ur knowledge with us.
RIP...! 👌
I've got a Gamo Varmint that I made some videos about that shoots surprisingly well and of course my Swarm Maxim .22 does quite well too. However I experimented on polishing the barrel riffling in it to discover it is shooting even faster with lead pellets. About 770fps and PREDATOR ALLOY moving more than 850fps accuracy is still great too being zeroed at 35 yards and sometimes even at 50. not too bad after over 1000 pellets . A couple drops of silicone oil in the chamber to keep the seal from losing pressure also really seems to bring out the best in the gun . Even compared to hw95 it only pushing around 695 fps. I think the seal is wearing out cause I could remember being able to push over 730fps with 15.4 grain H&N match pellets
Thank you, I have bought a few from Walmart, they are reasonably priced, especially the last purchase of a Phantom Hunter made by Crosman NP .177 for $30, I was floored, brought it home, sighted in my scope in no time (Clearance). So far Happy with my purchases from Walmart. Good Video. Not sure about Joe, I will run into it in the future,
Walmart online has free shipping to your address or in-store pick up on orders over $35. The Diana model would be even less costly when making your purchase thru Wal-Mart's website.
Also, I bought the Crosman SNR 357 Revolver for $49.95+tax thru Walmart.com. In-store price is $20 more, which is about the same price at other local stores.
Thank you for your knowledgeable in sight. It been something ive been searching for. Looking to buy my first air gun.
Excellent video sir. You have the most informative, knowledgeable videos on pellet guns I’ve seen. Just subscribed
Thank you K.K. As always you are on point.
Good video I have the Gamo swarm Maxxam and mine is very accurate shooting the gamo rockets 9.7gr and yes them crosman piranhas are garbage.
They the 8.5gr gold flights in 177cal. My swarm maxxim loves to eat them. The swarm maxxim for me is a tac driver it's almost like I can't miss bro. Anyway after using 100's of bucks finding the best pellet I ran into some okay one's too.
I just picked up the Crosmann exclusive F4. Glad to know I made a good buy.
An enjoyable, factual, retort :) With spring piston or strut powered airguns, its all about what you, as a shooter, put in it. I believe that those mechanically enclined could tune almost any of these break barrels air rifles to outperform their factory set limitations. Whatever the price tag ... its about how much time you want to spend tuning your platform, and learning how to shoot it with its favourite fodder. Thank you for your video, your sensible comments, and your relaxed approach.
My air gun is from Walmart and I can make consistent shots at 50 yards with it
I would like to thank you for your review and informed insight into these break barrel rifles. I am trying to make a good informed decision on a good accurate, quality break barrel rifle for the money and the decisions are a bit overwhelming for my level of experience. I'll be watching your videos to try to achieve a good decision.
I want to say thank you and your welcome I am his grandson unfortunately my grandpa has passed a few years ago but we thank you for still watching !!!
@@outlawgaming6623 My condolences, your grandpa is still offering good information, in all these videos.
That pellet is fairly accurate, although it does not mushroom at all
RWS..Diana #350 Magnum...177=1350+ Fps!!! Great German Gun!! Have One..Beautiful..Accurate..Powerful.#1 Rated For Over 20 Yrs..8.5 Lbs..
Kenny I appreciate your point of view honestly . We just have different ideas of what accurate and quality mean . All the best Dude . I have another video coming you probably wont like ...But we will see
The World has gone to Hell in a Bushel Basket! I just Bought a DIANA PCP. (MADE IN CHINA!!!) I'm glad that you came around on the Crosman F4, 1 of only 4 Walmart only airguns. (F4 & 3 Rugers) My point was that when you eliminate those 4 Airguns, every other Airgun sold by Walmart is the SAME airgun you would buy from Cabela's or Bass Pro Shops or Pyramyd Air.
Kenny I think you have the idea I don’t like Walmart..That’s not the case at all. Just have had bad luck with some of the guns is all
Just like my experience with Gamo's. 7 out of 12 I have had were bad. Bouight From Walmart, Fleet Farm, Cabela's and online retailers.
my experience at walmarts. i bought a beeman with changeable barrels. 22 and 177. nice gun shot great very very accurate.bought a benjamin titan. there was some kind of issue with the safety. so i took it back. didnt want money back just trade it for one with a working safety. nope, no way, policy is once you pay for a airgun its yours.so i had a dangerous airgun.i ended up replacing the safety myself. sure glad no one got hurt with it. would of hated suing walmarts for a few million or so. i dont shop there. so many bad experiences there. but lots of other places not only sell these same airguns but cheaper too. and if theres a problem, you can send it back! :)
River rat can please, tell me where I can buy cheaper, air guns than Walmart?
I agree with you 100% River rat. Walmart in my area sucks so bad I won't even shop there anymore.. for anything!!!
I've bought two Gamo air rifles from Walmart. The silent cat springer had a few minor problems but is quite accurate if you know how to use it. Part of the problem may have been that I clipped the silencer off the end because it was not needed. The bone collector .22 I got is very good. Mine has no silly silencer on the front. If you tighten the scope mount hardware and get her dialed in with the bushnell scope I installed she is very accurate and powerful. It's a bubble pack bushnell. I think maybe I got lucky and got a good Gamo both times. I've no way to judge quality over many rifles the way you have. I don't doubt the lack of skilled assembly you've described.
Everyone talks crap about gammo but my old bone collector 22 is more accurate and powerful than my $300 hatsan 135
