"Wow!" That is some difference in power. Thanks for this video. I have a .177 Gen. 1 Maxxim, and a .22 Gen. 1 Hunter. I recently sold both of them to get the new .177 Swarm Viper Gen. 3I.
Bought the Gen3i .177 caliber recently. Going into it knowing that really the only major complaint about this rifle was the Gamo scope that came with the rifle. No turret/adjustment knobs. The other was no front sights. I am scope guy so, not a deal breaker. Some had no problem with the scope, and some did. I had issues with the scope shooting high. I had made some little shims to slide in between the front ring and the front of the scope. I started bringing down the shot pattern. I had intentions of replacing the scope when I bought it, so no big deal. Even when my shoots were high, they had a nice grouping at 30 yards. The break barrel does require I think about 40/45 pds of pressure to charge it. Overall, I am very pleased with rifle.
@@johndoee3850 For the rabbits I am using the Gamo Tomahawk 8.5gr, for the woodchucks, I am using the Gamo Red Fire 7.8gr. I use the Red Fire because the woodchucks are out further than the rabbits. No problem dropping either.
Hello Ben, In regards to those GAMO rifles, I heard that the rifles are not the problem; but rather, it has been the quality of the riflescopes that come with them. In fact, many new owners switch them out for higher quality ones; and once they do, they are perfectly pleased with the results of their shooting! ... That's of course if you exercise regularly! Because breaking the barrel on these rifles is not for any weaklings!
I weight around 57 kg and can shoot my gamo magnum all day long, it's not that hard. What's really hard is shooting a powerful springer precisely. I don't think, it's the scope, it's most likely the wrong technique. On the plus side, that hold sensitivity really points out bad habits.That's good for learning how to do it right. If you can shoot a springer accurately, your group will be pretty much one hole with a proper pcp.
Love the channel ! Thank you for making good videos that help to determine which rifles are worth the purchase. I got into air rifles because of your reviews and because I enjoyed watching the squirrel master competition.
Yesterday I was able to find a Gen2 Magnum in a stack of Gen3i Magnum’s. I grew up with open sights. I wasn’t happy to learn that GAMO got rid of the open sights on the Gen3i’s. I was able to pick it up for $249.99.
I find myself shooting at lots and lots of various ranges.. also I diesel my pellets regularly. WD-40 soak and then patroleum injected in the rear via a small syringe and wiped smooth with your thumb directly after loading the breech. Smacks hard and at 125 yards shooting at my pond, it decreases my pellets/bullet drop by two vertical feet or so consistently
I agree on your findings..Here in Australia..we can only buy the gamo magnums in gen 1...we never got the gen 2 much less gen 3..I have both in gen 1..they are fun and the 177 is more accurate and pellets are exactly half the price of 22 pellets. $15 a tin of 500 in 177 and $15 for a tin of 250 in 22.. I enjoy the challenge of shooting them compared to my 2 gamo gas ram models, the roadster gen 2 in 22 cal and the speedster gen 2 in 177. Both these gas ram models being significantly more accurate..probably because they are so much easier to shoot..no herky jerky recoil and much easier to cock..really great guns all of them, but all quite different...and the difference and the challenge that brings, is where the fun is at for me
Dude here in the U.S. is the exact opposite, people have purchased the Gen2 because it still comes with sights and are being shipped Gen3 instead, even if the later is a bit more expensive. I think the Gen2 aren't even being made anymore.
@@indigocloud8408 yeah...ok..dont know what the importer is really doing here..wether they can't get stock, or maybe the market just isnt big enough, but the available gamo range is small..no gen 3 in anything . The gen 2 10 shot mechanism definitely works better in both my gas ram models, both have open sights but come with a fixed 4 power scope..the front sight fell of my new 177 and fell on the floor after about 6 shots 😅😅 I use them mainly inside my shed with a 19 meter shooting range endless hours of fun shooting at tiny targets like 22 magnum shell cases etc..I really enjoy all 4 gamos and Im loo,ing to geet into pcp with a top shelf FX.. Gun laws here are super savage.... I imagine you are gonna find out what thats like in the USA pretty soon the way things are going..
I use the cheap but good Crosman pellets and .22 has been cheaper per round than .177 for at least a year. $6.24 for 500 .22s, $3.40 for 250 .177s (just checked). Weird huh!
i like them.. i'll buy again.. my gen 1 in trash long time ago.. but i try this gen 3 again.. i trust your view .. my accuracy is most important thing i want.. i need only 15 or 17 yard away.. i think it's will be fine.. 👍.. thanks Sir..
The first time I shot my Benjamin Vaporizer airgun rifle, free standing, scope not mounted nor needed, I dented a stop sign at 88 yards. It shoots at about Mach 1.3. I mounted the scope but have nowhere to sight it in around these apts. I like my iron sights much better. The scope is 3 power with nice cross hairs, and super nice windage and elevation, so I guess I'm gonna hafta learn how to sight it in somewheres.
second time watching great video I now have a Gamo replay 10X Magnum on its way, looking forward to shooting bough. Had to up grade the scope on the Gamo Varmint,, Hopping the one that comes with the Magnum is good so I do not have to replace it wright away funds getting on the short side, Hear in Canada we pay a lot more for the rifles and ammo than you do in the USA almost double. And good Air Rifle scopes are hard to get hear.
My Gamo Swarm Magnum Gen 2 in .22 seems to eat whatever dovetail to picatinny mount I put on. It kicks the hell out of everything I put on there. Stop pins bent or cracked in half... rails sliced like an orange peel. It shoots really hard and I love it, but man.. no mount survives this thing. Gamo, if you are reading this.. please mill a 1913/Picatinny Rail on the receiver of these rifles. They should come with that rail from the factory and not with that weird dovetail they come with.
Nice review again but those watermellons the family next door the lady that lives there does have the same great watermellons. And making a choice between those 2 great gamo airguns is almost impossible for me want them both love the gamo brand.
As far as red fire pellets, there not bad but I shoot the rocket pellets in.22 cal, way more knock down at 40 yards, quarter size groups at 45 yards with a ruger with upgraded scope
cool. I love the rockets too. just wanted to stick with the same in both guns for the power test. also I figured the red fees might expand more. (which they did)
In my country Bulgaria 22cal. comes with red band. i got my Gamo Magnum swarm x10 22 cal. gen 2 yesterdey, and it came with red band, maybe it depends of country i dont know
Is the H&N Baracuda FT 9.57 for .177 the best pellets for the best accuracy on 25 yards? i got a Gamo Mach 1 1250 Hunter and i try to find the best pellets for accuracy for it.
Hello! Very good video. Can you please make a video and more different ballistic gel pellets? I have a gamo black cat 1400 .177 and can't decide if I should buy the .177 or the .22 (I won't be hunting with it). And another question. Are these magnums stronger in the US than in the EU at full power? And should I prefer gen 2 over gen 3? Tested the .22 gen 2 at a friend's today. I tested it with various specialty pellets like Elko GREEN EXPRESS Diabolo 0.67g, exploding pellets Kvintor Diabolo FLASH and Metalmags. Then I shot equivalent pellets like these out of my black cat 1400 and for example the .177 exploding Kvintor Phantom pellets did very little damage while the .22 Flash went through a 2cm wooden plate and nearly did a 2mm aluminum plate. Elko were completely insane. It shot through a 2 cm wooden board and then another. With the aluminum plate, it went like a knife through butter.
Just got an i mean not but 15 min ago they delivered my magnum pro. OMG Its a work out for sure. 10 rounds. SMOOTH firing fast accurate. 10 of 10 will shoot again
When we first shot our .177 it was loud like a regular 22 rifle, my question is should I lube it? I read somewhere not to dry shoot it but I’m not sure if that meant don’t shoot with no pellets or not to Shoot without lube?? Thanks
177 vs 22 to me is like 9mm compared to 45. Ones is going faster, but the other is hitting much harder. When it comes to pellets I prefer speed so I prefer 177, but if you are dealing with larger pests 22 all the way.
I just got my replacement Gen3 .22 in the mail yesterday. It came with the same problem of the as the first. The green clip to hold the mag in comes broken in the box!
@@ShootingGearReviews The little magazine clips are getting pushed down past the top of the assembly during shipping somehow. All you have to do is gently pry it out and then reinstall it and the little spring. My new Fusion Gen 3i arrived with the little clip pushed down like that. Evidently shipping people are tossing them around pretty good. As for accuracy in the new Gamo rifles, my new Fusion is in the same class as any HW rifle. I love it. If I do my part and keep the hold and trigger control the same, a half inch group at 50 yards is possible with the Predator GTO. Of course the rifle is always more accurate than myself. I will put three or four in a perfect group and then mess it up. Grin!! Yep try the new Fusion. Perfect little rifle. Best of the bunch. Cheers Kit
Hello im a golf course superintendent have a major infestation of wood chucks I bought the gammo gen 3 swarm 10x magnum in .177 and put a BSA SCOPE ON IT looking to do head shots at 25/50 yards with the right pellet what are your thoughts
if you are referring to the “breaking of the barrel” The answer is yes. These rifles are called break barrels and the loading process involves cocking the barrel all the way down for each shot.
Interesting results! Some people say .177 is not an option and that .22cal airguns are far superior Both have pros and cons but if the smaller caliber got the energy you need the pellet curve might actually be easier to handle with this one than a bigger .22 pellet
You really don’t want a pellet to break the sound barrier. Accuracy can be destroyed when the pellet goes trans and then sub sonic. The 22cal will break the sound barrier, so any “speed advantages” the 177 can show are pretty worthless. If you are shooting pellet above sound barrier then you never want it to go subsonic. So a super sonic 177 would be limited to ranges where it can never drop below the sound barrier. Why would you ever want that! 22cal all day!
No It shouldn't ease up. Just grip it farther towards the tip of the barrel and you can use the inside of your thigh for leverage if you're tired of the freehand cock

Great review! I was on the fence on those two calibers. Same Gamo model though. Going .22!
I went with the Barra 1200G since it comes with both a 177 and a 22 caliber barrel. Easy to swap out.
Just found the video. I agree very helpful video. Also, again I agree, I'm getting the 22. BTW, how's the 22 working out? Happy with it?
Great channel,live the information and honest reviews... I went with .177 for plinking... Keep the videos coming...
I like the .177 because I like to break the speed of sound with it. That sound is great. I'm a little addicted on that noise.
Sadly that makes them less accurate, but it wont matter unless your shooting over 50 yard or so.
"Wow!" That is some difference in power. Thanks for this video. I have a .177 Gen. 1 Maxxim, and a .22 Gen. 1 Hunter. I recently sold both of them to get the new .177 Swarm Viper Gen. 3I.

I think you're right. Every Gamo scope I've had eventually broke. I use them when they're new and replace with a better scope after the inevitable.
Remember , the crack of the sound barrier is very noticeable in a backyard situation.
Just asked on another of your videos about this exact topic. Sweet thanks brother!
Awesome. Glad to hear it.
Amazing how different brands of pellets shoot differently. Best is to shoot them all and pick a winner.
Then shoot only that pellet!

Care to comment on the dieseling "controversies" concerns, and lastly, gossip, I won't be here for the last part.
Dieseling pellets is not an advantage and your not shooting it accurately to 125yards consistently. Two facts for ya

Glad to see those beautiful watermelons were not wasted.
you bet. cant waste things like that around here.
Excellent tests!

22
Thanks yall for this i was looking at the comments for this. Really wanted to get the 117 but noise matters most.

not really. if anything the 177 can be when you use light pellets cause it breaks the sound barrier.

Shoot without lube?? Thanks
You need a heavier pellet. My 177 likes 15-16 grain. Min 10 grain to not break the sound barrier and get that crack.
thnx just got the 177 cal swarm 1650fps from Cabela's, what about 75 yards ? 100 yds ?
.22.
How much is the price?
Wanna see the grouping at 70 yard by .177

Check to see if the .177 is legal for woodchucks in your area. You may need to use .22.
There’s goes the saying “speed kills” .. .177 it is 😎
Question the rifle is folded?
if you are referring to the “breaking of the barrel” The answer is yes. These rifles are called break barrels and the loading process involves cocking the barrel all the way down for each shot.
Is there any difference in power between the gen2’s and the gen3l magnums ?
Pretty sure it's just creature comforts. I don't believe there is any power difference

does a .22 pellet drop more than the .177 the further the distance?
A little bit. But in trade it's carrying more energy.

I have the .22 cal swarm whisper and the most accurate pellet I've found is actually the Crossman premier hollow point 14.3 grain
I need a link for delivery in my country belize
Does the cocking effort ease up after a certain amount of shots? I have about 60 shots through mine (.177) at the moment.
No It shouldn't ease up. Just grip it farther towards the tip of the barrel and you can use the inside of your thigh for leverage if you're tired of the freehand cock
Great question!
I thought these boasted 1600+ fps for the .177 and 1300 avg fps for the .22. I was checking out gamo today
The material and weight of the projectile effects speed. The top speed advertised is of very light alloy pellets these are heavier
Send me a link to order one of them rifle
Less than 20 cents for the pellets. More than $2.00 for the melons if you bought them. 🙂Experience, priceless.
I shoot my gamo .177 at 50 yards and am more accurate than that. But great vid want to get a 22 now
