James' tips for keeping your rifle in tip top shape! Just remember TLC!
1. TIGHTEN! Make sure to frequently check all your screws, whether it's the ones holding your scope to the brackets, the brackets to the rail, the rail to the rifle itself, as well as the recoil reducing screw and the two that are where the barrel breaks. The only ones I don't mess with are the ones related to the trigger, that can be tricky and dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. You would not believe how many people have blamed scopes inability to zero in on the scope itself when 9 times out of 10 it's because of having screws be loose. Get yourself one of those tiny screwdriver packs with an assortment of different heads, they are 5-10 bucks at Walmart and are extremely useful!
2. LUBRICATE! 2-3 times a year oil your hinges! Using a tiny paintbrush and a light dab of 3 in 1 oil (5 bucks at Walmart) just add a slight smear onto the spots where the hinges are when you break the barrel, as well as a little on the sliding mechanism down in the hole when the barrel is broken. I DON'T MEAN THE BORE. Not too much! You shouldn't have anything be dripping, just enough to smoothen out the hinges/brackets. Not only does this reduce the wear and tear on your rifle, it makes the breaking action much smoother and easier, and more quiet as well! Ask me if you need me to explain better. Do NOT put this kind of oil on cotton pellets or anything that goes into bore, this will cause dieseling which will wreck your seals.
3. CLEAN! 1-2 times a year, I like to remove my rail from my rifle. Leave scope attached to rail so you don't have to zero in again, or make massive adjustments when you put them back on rifle. Using 70 percent rubbing alcohol, either on a little cotton ball or those premade square wipes, wipe down the entire metal barrel of your rifle, usually about a foot of it is visible. Even if you take super good care of your rifle, you still may have tiny specks of rust that won't come off, that's ok. Just make sure you get all the grime off of it. I prefer to wear gloves at all times when handling my rifle, but especially do it here. DO NOT USE ANYTHING BESIDES RUBBING ALCOHOL!! No Magic Eraser, No Goo Gone/Goof Off, NOTHING. You will strip the bluing off the metal and will be very sad. You can re-blue the metal but it's an extremely difficult process and will never look as good as it did. Once you've gotten all the grime off use a couple paper towels to make sure rifle is completely dry. Using Hoppe's Number 9 lubricating Gun Oil and with a cotton que tip, lightly dip it in the bottle and cover the entire metal surface with it, usually 3 dips or so should be enough. Give it a couple hours to "dry" before putting Rail/Scope back on, it will always be a little greasy but that's good! That's your protective layer from moisture and rust, plus it gives it an attractive shine! Also take a couple of those dehumidifier packets (the ones that come in your new shoe box or bag of beef jerky) and toss them in your rifle bag, as an additional protection from moisture. Wipe the rest of the rifle down with a couple clean microfiber cloths, and she'll be looking as good as new!

You know why this is a GREAT youtube video? It’s because it gets straight to the point. There is NO yammering and yammering about “why I did this video” or “my personal philosophy of life and guns” or “why my dog Bo is feeling sick” yadda yadda yadda. Don’t have to skip ahead of BS…..it’s just straight to the point, like it should be.
I appreciate that, thank you!! Nobody watches a shooting video and thinks "man, my favorite part was the stupid intro or the opening monolog or the dumb music that's way too loud or the product they are shilling!"
I for one appreciate the absence of stupid, annoying, and distracting music. Thank you.
Some people I like your dialogue if it's explain something about the gun. But some people just go on and on and on I'm like please just shoot the gun that's what I want to see. 😂
Really nice group 👍👍
Fantastic group from gamo swarm magnum 177.
Question: being a gen 3i, why do you keep reseating the pellets?
Shouldn’t the inertia fed mechanism prevent magazine rotation , and thus pellet jumping?
It's not that the pellets are jumping out, they just move inconsistently around by a couple millimeters, so I'm using a key that can only go so far into magazine so every pellet is in the exact same spot when fired.
I believe this contributes to the tack driving accuracy displayed here... but I may have to test that theory. On another note these Rockets are excellent pellets! Most "gimmicky" pellets are pretty meh performance wise, but these puppies are accurate no matter what rifle they are in.
Also did you see I fixed my trigger hand? No longer right eye left hand lol.
Is the butt resting on your folded up right hand or mainly in the shoulder?
After thinking about it for a min, it's actually both. My hand that's folded underneath I have semi cupped between my thumb and fingers to provide extra stability/raise and lower butt in very fine increments.
Its not a huge distance of difference that I can make using that method (maybe an inch?) so it's really just getting dialed in to assist making shot go where you want it to :)
hi can you tell me what was the distance you where shooting the target please
25 yards/75 feet/22.86 meters :)
How is the cocking effort? Does it tire you out. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for watching! And it's a bit of a work out lol.
Excelentes...!!! Agrupaciones. Saludos desde Puebla México.

¡muchas gracias! lo aprecio mucho!
@@jamesb1988 please can you tell me what was the Distant you were shooting the target sir
@@georgerowlands5100 25 yards/75 feet/22.86 meters :)
Wonderful
Wanted to shoot the Rockets but too light. Ive been using the JDS 16’s in my 177. Oddly it feels like it has more power than my Magnum 22. (18 grain JDS’s)
What will this rifle kill, will head shot??Biggest game?Thanks
With this caliber (.177) I would estimate probably in the raccoon/opossum/beaver range.
If the shot was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT it might even take down a deer.
Are you particular about where you rest the front end on the bag? I usually rest a little farther back but do not get groups that good.
Not usually, but with this rifle yes! This is also the only rifle where I don't even use a second bag.
I don't know if it's cause of the power or kick or what, but if you try to set this rifle on two bags and just pull the trigger, the accuracy is atrocious. It's almost like you have to hold it so you absorb the shock of the recoil.
Pills are too light for the magnum gas ram in the rifle.
What is the distance
22.86 meters.
What would it do at 35 yds (103) ft
@raymondmilas6370 I imagine it would be pretty similar! Unfortunately, that's all the room I have in my back yard. One of these days I'm gonna go out to a shooting area near some campsites and take a couple of my rifles with me, do a little more long range work.
