@ hey there. I have not tried but would also not recommend them. They will be too heavy and possibly cause too much back pressure on the seal. Cheers AGW
What I found, the Gamo multishot air rifles need a harder pellet. My thoughts, the pellet pusher is putting too much force on the pellet. The JSB's are too soft lead. Below a comment was made on the H&N greens, yes it likes them as they are a hard non-lead pellet. (but feel they are to light for the Magnum) The red-fires, harder lead. Use the Polymag's and you will see similar results. Like to see this rifle with H&N Baracuda Match (heavy) or the Field target Trophy power. (not lead free but harder) Thanks for the video, always great to watch. Greetings from the Netherlands.
"Minute of Iguana head at 20 yards..." Fantastic!!! Keep up the quality content good sir, you have gotten a lot of us into the "hobby". I first got into air guns after watching your video on the Crosman Nitro Venom in 22cal. (12 years ago!)
I have this gun in .22 cal now for 6 months and the accuracy comes with time and cleaning the barrel. But it is pellet picky, the H&N hunter extreme gives my 1cm groups at 25 meters.
Yea my one complaint with the gamo magnum was not being able to move the scope back and poor eye relief. Pyramyd actually recommended the Compact bugbuster (2nd air rifle, did not know any better) .. couldn’t even mount it to my Gen3 magnum.
Hey there. That mod has been around for 15+ years. It does work, but it works by reducing the sear engagement which can leave the gun in an unsafe condition even with the safety engaged. It’s not a solution that I would ever recommend to anyone. Are you willing to carry the liability of someone getting hurt by applying your suggestion? I’m not. Cheers AGW
Why don't you ever use splatter burst or comparable targets it's so impossible to see your shots on those stupid paper targets I'm not trying to be a jerk Richard I'm just saying you something where we can see it better on video
It’s interesting you say that as other folks complained because they obscured the true size of the groups. I use them when shooting open sights, but with scoped guns I just use paper. If you are on your phone it may be hard to see. Hopefully you understand. Cheers AGW
@@andygray3001 that's such a good idea I will give that a go, even some glow in the dark pigment of some sort for some night time shots lol be interesting to see if it changes pellet accuracy
I'm very surprised those jsb 15.89s were that off for you in my gamo magnum those are tack drivers at 20 yds to 50 yes, and so are the jsb 18.13s, I do live in New Zealand and im 200m above sea level
In saying that i have one of the first gen .22 magnums its the IGT MACH1 1250 all the plastic involved with those magazine set ups put me off its just more moving parts than will break
Thats today tomorrow will be different. I'm new to air guns and they drive me crazy . I have been wondering why the different pellets typically hit in one quadrant or the other ? The red fires quickly became my favorite, quarter size group's at 25 yd and now they are all over the place so I think its time to start checking some things? Have not thought about the stock
I understand the gun is as is out of the box with that crappy scope but it will shoot so much better with a decent 100$-150$ UTG Accushot w/side focus in 3-12 or 4-16X44. I watched a guy at the range smacking clay pigeons at 100 yards using this gun and a UTG scope. After talking to him about the factory scope he said the crosshairs moved every time his head did until he removed the factory scope and replaced it with an etched reticle UTG.🤷♂️ Hope this helps someone. His did like the Gamo Red Fire and my Daisy HPs the most. Thanks for the info Rick.
Highly agree with that . The first order of business is replace that scope. UTG scopes are great scopes for the money . I have a BSA Contender on my Gen 2 magnum . Also it shoots the cheap Crosman 14.3 hollow points with precision . You don't need to purchase these 20.00 per tin boutique pellets . Crosmans are under 7.00 .
After running 500 pellets thru the magnum pro I could not disagree more. Anything over 16 grains results in no accuracy at all. Heck, I cannot even get a 3 inch group consistently at 10 yards using ANYTHING over 16 grains. You will be forced to settle on 1 or 2 pellets at MOST with 1 being the gamo red fire. And you want your FPS above 850 and FPE around 26 otherwise you're wasting your time.
Hello and thank you for your videos. Just to let you know, I am new to air rifles and never got into shooting. I don't hunt and never really cared for it but now I need varmint control. I decided to get the (1 week ago) Gamo Magnum Pro .22 Gen3i but there is something I am curious about. This deals with the initial breaking of the barrel, not the full cocking of the barrel. I can take my right hand (or left), place my thumb on the stock at the pivot point of the barrel and my fingers on the barrel. With a little pressure, not bearing down on it and break the barrel loose. Are all Gamo's like this? Are your Gamo's the same or is this something I need to contact Gamo about?
It should take some effort to disengage the spring lock in the breech. If you find left to right wobble or the breech opening up without meaning to, then I would reach out to Gamo and have them fix it for you. I've got a video coming out, which is an advanced tutorial for the .22 Magnum Gen 2i Pro. If you can get on target and stay there, then you are probably good to go. If you find that you can't get any consistency with your shots, and you've followed my setup guide and tutorials, then you may have an issue. Cheers AGW
Hey there. I have several videos on the 125. They are just older. It’s been a while, but the last time I shot the 125 it was a good shooting gun. Cheers AGW
My Magnum Pro prefers Crosman Premiere 14.3 HP's and H&N Green 12.96. Also shoots best on sand bags not artillery!!! Literally one hole groups at 25yds!
Artillery hold is the most repeatable and reliable way to let a break barrel follow through its unique recoil process. The sandbag would limit this and give wider groups typically.

of this rifle .. Greeting`s from England , loved your review . Cheers
My experience is each time you change ammo there are a few flyers as the barrel adjust to the new pellets it's called fauling the barrel....
I was thinking about buying that gamo but after watching multiple videos of them being shot , I think I've changed my mind 😮
My gen 3 likes the Gamo hunter pellets.
Haven't you ever had the pellets fall out when you bend the barrel? I have the .177 model
Yea my one complaint with the gamo magnum was not being able to move the scope back and poor eye relief. Pyramyd actually recommended the Compact bugbuster (2nd air rifle, did not know any better) .. couldn’t even mount it to my Gen3 magnum.
You can move the scope back... Just remove the bolt under the scope
@@asoasotriadio this game is not for him
Try longer screw for cat trigger to reduce the length of second stage.Much better trigger with longer screw and maybe better groups

After so many shots I would have liked to see you go back to the Gamo red fire and try again, I'm wondering if the stock screws loosened ?
Can standard sight be put on this GAMO?thanks

No mil/moa in the scope picture or why do you adjust it by feeling?
Funny the 2nd Hades group looked similar in poi locations but more spread out/worse haha.
try the rws super h-point and the benjamin destroyer those shoot great out of my ruger air magnum .22 and ruger impact (springer version).
Only break barrel that rarely has anything come loose is my Beeman R-10 German Made.
All others come loose out the box.🤠🇺🇸
Open site at 25 yards I like the tru glow sights all I shoot is 177
Are all or almost all the pellets moving at less than 1,000 fps out of that rifle?
Good comparison. I’m in the camp that magnum GAMOs need heavier peeelets.
After running 500 pellets thru the magnum pro I could not disagree more. Anything over 16 grains results in no accuracy at all. Heck, I cannot even get a 3 inch group consistently at 10 yards using ANYTHING over 16 grains. You will be forced to settle on 1 or 2 pellets at MOST with 1 being the gamo red fire.

i still use the 125 and ill never switch to a new gun can you mabe make a video of comparing it to gamos most powerfull air rifle
I shoot pba pellets, well in 22,it's he'll on game.
Why in the world would you remove open sights on a gun that's notorious for breaking scopes?? 🤦♂
breaking scopes??? I never seen that gun, breaking scope
i have over 2000 pellets shots and my scope still hold a zero
my gamo is magnum replay 10
My Maxxim's original scope had a reticle that rotated .@@ivayloivanov3010
@@ivayloivanov3010I have the gamo magnum gen 2. What distance would you zero at
Economics! It is good for business. Higher scope sales are great.

Also Red Fire pellets!
@@TxGunRunner58 and what I have noticed recently is a very light shoulder pressure
I have the same gun and get the same results from the same ammo.
Take your left hand out of the equation and try it?
In shooting for accuracy, wouldn't it be better to let the forearm rest on the sandbag instead of having your hand involved.
Artillery hold is the most repeatable and reliable way to let a break barrel follow through its unique recoil process. The sandbag would limit this and give wider groups typically.
Sorry, my GEN 3177 break barrel
you have good content but talk too much, edit it out in post processing. I can't watch your channel
You have good comments but whine too much, I can’t read your posts. Get a life.
Take all them break barrel pellet rifles and junk them get a under barrel cocking lever pellet rifle or side cocking rifle instead
We don't want excuses Ricardo we want results 😊 joking of course
