This is one of the best videos I've seen on air rifles. I leaned a ton of great information.
Awesome! Thank you for your comments.

Hey Rick,
FYI Gamo didn't just remove the back up sights from the Swarm Magnum, they did it to the Swarm Fusion which had a lower comb. Besides that, they also replaced the metal triggers with plastic triggers and they still charge too much.
If Gamo wants to make more profit, please suggest that they just provide a better value and bring back the open sights and include three or more magazines and stop including lower quality scopes. If they want to include the BSA OUTLOOK 3-9x40 AO scope that would be great. Otherwise just lower the price. Without open sights we are forced to rely on scopes that are more likely to break due to the magnum double recoil. Besides, as you know, real, good hunters take their time for a good shot with less likelihood of missing or losing their prey due to distance. We take fewer chances by using a blind, baiting, and staying closer to the target. Back up sights are necessary for being a back up when scopes break or get loose, lose zero/accuracy, or fall off. I love my Gamos, and I am a Gamo fanboy. I've owned many, and some with out sights. Now all of my Gamo airguns have sights. Why? Because I still love shooting but I'm older and my vision has gotten worse.
Rick, you have their ear. Please strongly recommend to ALL "ADULT AIRGUN" manufacturers to include back up open sights. And also remind them that we may love their products but if we can't afford them we can't afford them.
Thanks again.
Stay Safe. Be Well. GOD BLESS.
Hey there Ken.
I’ve addressed this several times so I’ll try to be brief. Manufacturers that want any shelf space at a major retailer have to deliver what the retailer requests. Right now the only way to get that shelf space is to include an optic. That is dictated not by Gamo but by the retailer. Not only is the configuration dictated but also what they will pay for it and then tell you what you’ll make on it. A company like Gamo really has no say if they want to get that shelf space.
Since their business model is based on very high volume (hundreds of thousands of break barrels per year), they have to do what they are currently doing. If not, there are many other manufacturers waiting in line to take their place.
With that said, they do have more “enthusiast” models on their website for sale without scopes. Just don’t expect them to hit the big box market.
Cheers
AGW.
@@AirGunWeb Hey Rick,
Thank you for your prompt reply. Now that I know that it is the Big Box Stores that I have to pester, I will. As I may have mentioned to you, Ben, and Angie, and other airgun channels on RUclips, I am actually a Gamo fanboy. I've been a fan for many years and have been using Gamo products for years.
However, now my situation has changed quite a bit. I now have kids who are old enough to start shooting and hunting, and also, both myself and my 83 year old father have poor eyesight. So not only is it important to teach and stress proper sight picture, but also stress accuracy and humane harvesting, and prevent unnecessary suffering from bad shot placement.
This is the first time I actually got a response and decent explanation to my request. In the past five or six years, I have emailed Gamo on numerous occasions, called, and even made such comments in comment sections of the videos.
But I have never gotten such an informative response. Thank you for taking the time to inform me. I actually thought that Gamo didn't care because I am just one customer.
Stay Safe. Be Well. GOD BLESS.
@@kenfan5666 glad I could help shed some light on the situation. Thanks for watching and carrying on the shooting sports with your little ones.
Cheers
AGW
the Gamo fiber optic open sights are actually quite nice it turns out
Good job. Thanks for producing this video. My father brought home a .177 cal. break barrel springer of unknown manufacture from Germany post WW2. It’s what I learned to shoot on as a boy. I used it for years and eventually graduated to his .22 rifle and never looked back.
Now almost 60 years later, I am back in the break barrel springer business again with GAMO’s Swarm Fusion 10x gen3i. I opted for this model because of several reasons.
1- It was on sale for about 35%off
2- it has the suppressed barrel.
3- Velocity maxes out at 1000 fps. With .22 cal.
I need to keep noise at a minimum, so subsonic is a requirement. In reality, velocities in the 700-750 fps range are what I’ve seen on other channels. This, along with modern pellet design should be plenty good enough to keep squirrels out of the berry patch.
Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for to get going. I really appreciate you taking the time to go through the set up.
I just bought a gen 3 I . Thank you for this video, I learned alot from you. I'm excited to sight in at 15 yards, and get consistent. Thanks for the info
Just bought this gun, no instructions on mounting scope. This was so informative I learned how to mount a scope properly and dial my gun in. Thanks
This tutorial on scope setup was awesome; thank you! I am new to this hobby - less than six months into it. One of the guns I purchased is this exact Gamo Magnum gen 3i. For better and for worse, there is a lot of information out there online, especially on RUclips, with advice on airguns, optics, other gear, technique, etc. I fell into the trap of getting caught up by people online saying how the scopes that come with these guns are garbage and you need to upgrade to X, Y, or Z. So now I have spent money and upgraded scopes that do me no pretty much good because I don’t know how to properly set them up and I can’t shoot for crap yet. It is refreshing that you took the time to speak to new airgunners in a way that wasn’t condescending and also took the time to actually review and teach how to use some entry level stuff to effect, rather than just dismiss it and tell us to spend a bunch of money. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun to see the flashy stuff (goals and all), but it’s also nice to hear that you don’t necessarily need that stuff to have fun. Thanks you for this video! I instantly subscribed to the channel.
Thank you for your comments. It’s expressly why I do these and other videos. It’s easy to show a gun top performing but never show the journey to get there. I want to do both. Staring with out of the box expectations then showing the sometimes long path to optimal results. For me it’s what makes the sport fun and engaging.
Thanks again for watching and I hope to continue to provide the kind of content that helps all airgunners regardless of their experience level.

Too bad to hear on your extraneous scope purchase and frustrations. People on the internet can just recapitulate the same message to sound, I guess, clever, without work, experience or critical thought of their own, can't they?
Though I admit I had a bias when I went to go purchase and have been shooting a long time and immediately thought of ways to mount my $2K Leupold VX6 3-18X x 50mm varmint scope.
I'm actually kind of glad the young guy at the independent sporting goods store in southern NH, said it's a proprietary rail and that I won't be able to get other scopes on.
The scope looks fine to me. I just got the gun. Just mounted it. This was a very helpful video for that.
Excellent video! Thanks for posting.
Thanks Ric been enjoying my varmint swarm. You explained how to focus to scope...and so much more 👍
I simply love your videos.
I've been shooting a 24 years old Gamo Hunter BZ-30 break barrel rifle (equivalent to modern magnum) and even though I shoot relatively well, there were a lot of things I wasn't doing well and I realized that after watching your videos.
Sometimes we think that as we've been shooting for many years we've mastered all the techniques and after all we still have so much to learn.
Thanks for making me a better shooter.

Your comment just made my day! This is why I continue to make content. It’s a constant uphill battle, but when things connect and people get something out of it, that makes it worth it.

Thank you!
You are VERY welcome!

Rick, a great informative video. My son has one hand and when he shoots my springer with his shooting stick he has issues. Probably due to the fact that I sighted it in and the gun movement he experiences is totally different. Thanks, that explains a lot.
Very useful information, I am very new to air rifles and was struggling to sight in. Thank you
Thank you for a very helpful and well explained demonstration. Nice weapon straight out the box too.
Consequently I have subscribed and look forward to more of your videos.
Best wishes from Birmingham in the English Midlands.
Loved this instruction with all the tips...just great!
Rick
Great video. I wouldn't have found your channel except I ran into two problems. I bought a refurbished Swarm Magnum 3i as my first air rifle and most of the manuals were missing. The first problem I encountered was I couldn't mount the scope. I finally figured out that the hole on the barrel was too small to accept the scope locking pin so the attaching mechanism wouldn't lock down on the rail. I finally figured that out but it took a while since everything is black. I drilled out the hole and the scope laid flat to lock it down. The second problem I ran into was loading the cartridge. I finally got it once I realized I was holding the cartridge upside down.
I can’t wait to set mine up. Nice video
Very useful basic information. I needed to see it . I just bought the same rifle- thanks so much!
I like the way how you explained 😊😊thank you
your review is the only one that earned both sub and thumb
Love mine. Deadly accurate with the HN Hornets after ab 150rd
Appreciate your professional approach, thank you.
Great video Rick. Good information.
Very good information, very well presented. I'm getting ready to mount my first air gun scope on my Gamo Swarm Fusion .. . . and this information will be of great help. Thanks!
thank you i needed to learn the scope adjustment things much help
Add my thanks to all the others. Followed your instructions and got everything together and calibrated right with 3 shots!!!
AWESOME!!

Great instructional video!! Thanks!!!
I have a older Gamo Big Cat 1200. It's still going. My biggest problem is the loud report. It's 177cal and sounds similar to a 22 long rifle.
But these newer quiet ones are awesome. I agree with some people posting comments. Shoot 2 tins of pellets first. Once it breaks in. I think you'll be pleased. Also fit a decent scope. A Hawk Vantage with quality rings makes all the difference. 👍
As for leveling the scope. None is needed. Try the flashlight through the scope aligned with a plumb line. Mount a level on the scope that's true to the plumb line and crosshairs. If the level is held true, the rifle shoots straight everytime, at any distance. A guy did a video on this shooting 800yards with the rifle severely canted. As long as the level is centered. It's bullseye everytime. 🎯
This was an excellent video explaining the characteristics of spring guns. Excellent accuracy.
use heavy pellets to avoid the sonic crack
Nice! Thanks for sharing.

Really, really helpful.
Impressed with how you make the Gamo Mag in .22 and .177 look like a tack driver. Since the only Gamo I have ever owned has been the Gamo Accu .22 fixed barrel. And it was extremely accurate. Not a powerhouse I believe it shot 14.3s around 660fps but due to the fixed barrel and mid power, it was no way near as hold sensitive as my more powerful Hatsans and even some of my vintage Beeman imports. Ironically, the Accu .22 became my go to gun for backyard varmint control. It's mild power did just fine on up to woodchuck sized animals out to a max of 40 yards. Yes it wasn't a flat shooter, but after learning my mil dot holds out to that range it was superb. Anyways, short story long, it is hard to find an economic fixed barrel anymore and seeing the potential at least of that Gamo Mag, I'm thinking about maybe getting one. I just know that over time breakers have wear and tear and even the highest quality ones barrel lockup tends to not lockup like it used to causing accuracy issues. Does the Gamo Mag gen 3 have a steel breech? Or is it plastic/plastic lined? And does it have a screw that tighten up the pivot point? A Lot of breakers now have their barrels lined in plastic which is not acceptable to me, they will wear faster, no two ways around it...
Hey there. The breech is polymer. Going back 5 or 6 years, they has some issues with lockup. They have solved that and I’ve not had any issues with the newer stuff. And, if you do develop an issue, their service department will take care of it. If it’s under warranty then it’s no charge (other than shipping it to them) and if it’s out of warranty, Gamo offers a flat rate service rebuild and repair. So, you are covered either way.
As for the Accu line. I wish they still had that model available. I have a .177 and .22 still kicking around somewhere. I need to pull those out and do a video on them. I loved my .22 for hunting and pesting.
Cheers
AGW
P.S. GamoUSA has some old school models with steel breech if you want to go that route. Look at the new Gamo Hunter Extreme Pro. Awesome gun.
Great instruction. You have a nice, easy, patient "my favorite teacher" way.
I just got a Swarm Fusion 10X Gen 3i 2 days ago. Little less ooomph, but same gun. Actually, embarrassingly, I thought I was getting the Magnum in the store in southern NH. Was priced like that. It's alright. I'm hoping the 1300 FPS .177 is a little quieter for sneaky pest thinning in my yard. I'm in Mass, and it's impossible to just hit the Amazon ship button and get an air gun in mail order. And I didn't feel like giving MA DOR sales tax at my local Cabelas.
I like you prefer my scope slid back towards my eye so there's no encroaching black, diminishing the aperture. Had to take the ring tops and 8 torx screws all the way off as there was sticky tape underneath. But that gummy tape adhesive helped when rotating in the scope's vertical reticle when shouldered.
The Gamo scope instructions suck for mounting. Thank you for this!
I learned to shoot on a 1980 Sheridan Blue Streak pump .20 cal pellet gun. Man was that deadly.
One question for you or anyone: I took off one of the scope base's rail halves. The plate with the 3 torx head screws on the side. The other half had 2 fine black springs inset in the outside screw holes. Was there a 3rd fine black spring in the middle hole? Couldn't find it if there was. - Thanks!
THANK YOU!
5 minutes worth of Info in 43 minutes! This guy is frikin EPIC!!!
gamo is the best good teachings
I run a 60-yard crossbow scope on my pellet and has all the radicals it makes it challenging but fun
Thanks for the very good video Just getting back into break barrels. Got a Gamo Varmint had to get a better scope and the trigger is one of the worst I have every used. Ordered a Gamo Replay 10X Magnum IGT Gen2 .22 CAL hope the trigger and scope are much better. With the Varmint I can get 1/2" to 3/4 " groups but with that trigger it is very hard, and did switch to a better scope but still not the best it is a Tasco Air 3-9X40 with focus 10 to 100 yards. But shooting dead center for 5 targets one day and the next high right re sight and again shooting dead center 5 shot groups and 5 targets, then yester day shooting all over the place 1" and 2" groups at 15 yards. and again high right, just put it away and am going to try again to day and see what happens, and work on my hold and hope better but with that trigger have to really work on it to get good groups. When my new one comes will then see if there is any thing I can do with the trigger on the varmint. I also find the Varmint very loud, from the spring, and for some reason seemed to be louder yester day. Again thanks for the Video will work on my hold and do my best with that trigger, would be nice to see how to make it work better using a bad trigger, any help on that would be great.
Love my GSM gen3i. Only had it a week and have culled many invasive European Starlings.
Through demo!! Thanks!
good job Rick.
Thanks. Hopefully it was helpful.

I think open sights are a must have, even if you mount a scope. Ang agree with you, break barrel rifle have always the same performance, high pressure air rifle start to lose power after 15 or so rounds and you need an entire equipment to reload it.
Excellent vid Rick, thanks for sharing! I've got a Hatsan 125 Sniper that is also a great shooter, but I've been wanting one of these Gamo Magnums for a while. It looks like Gamo has them really dialed in with the last revision.
Did you get a Gamo Magnum yet?
@@springpistonriflefeverlone9611 No, but it's on the short list of things to get. Probably next month. Unlike the govt, I must operate within a budget.....grin.

@@springpistonriflefeverlone9611 I'll be hitting 62 in a couple weeks. Figured I'd treat myself to that Gamo as a b-day gift.....grin
@@shanepitzer4126 Would you mind sharing your impressions after testing the new rifle? I will be very grateful. I'm wondering which one to buy Hatsan 125 or Gamo Magnum 😊 Thank you in advance!
P.S. I'll be using it for hunting and pest control.
Excellent retired Army instructor.
Thanks for a great video, I have a new Gamo swarm magnum Gen3i .22 arriving tomorrow, looking forward to it as my Ruger Black Hawk .177 broke last week.
My only comment is wouldn’t you first clean the barrel to remove any possible oil or grease that may be there from shipping to prevent any potential rust from happening.??
Seams like that could have a impact on accuracy for those 25 or maybe 50 rounds till it got removed by the pellets.??
Thanks again for the great information, I will be using it here in the fallowing days.
Gee, let’s take the open sights off of a gun that’s notorious for breaking scopes. I guess there’re some real geniuses over there at Gamo 🤣
That line never had iron sites. Should be available if they make a Fusion Magnum. Only the Fusion series had both scope and iron sites.
Hey Rick, I recently up another of my favorite break barrel scopes. A nos pre-2012 centerpoint 4-16x40 adventure class, which is my understanding was made for crosman by leapers back then. And it made me curious about not hearing about leapers on AGW since before you moved to TX. If it's ok to talk to, is that kind of like the Hatsan thing went? Current opinion of their stuff in general?
I have the gen 2 but this helps.
Great Video, very useful information, would you mind sharing what tool (bit set) are you using to mount/ adjust the scope? I've been looking for something like that for a while!
Rick - excellent video! I just purchased the Gamo Swarm Magnum Pro gen 3i and watched your video on how to adjust the scope. Followed your instructions and was able to get the scope aligned in about 30 minutes. Saved myself a lot of frustration and wasted pellets had I not watched your video. Thanks again!
Awesome!!
Cheers
AGW
always clean the barrel and shoot 50 shots before clicking the scope , a adjustable mount is also good on a springer to keep the inside of the scope in optical centre and straight
I used to do that.. but the newer guns are not nearly as picky with the barrels. At least not the Gamo Guns.. maybe some of the asian imports that come through full of rust and grease, but the Gamo seems to be fine without needing to clean the barrel out of the gate. I've found that just getting out and shooting a tin of pellets really get's the job done. You can see in this video by the time I got to the last 5 shot group we were down to under a dime. You all saw ALL the shots taken in this gun as they were all on video. The new guns are NOTthe way the old guns used to be.
Cheers
AGW
I never "clean" my barrels. Shooting pellets will clean the barrel better than aything else. Never had a problem and they are always accurate, no power loss.
This is a good air rifle. Straight through a coffee tin at 70yards hit it everytime.
Regarding dry firing, Gamo claims before any product is released, ten units must survive being dry fired 10k times each. Must not be too bad for newer models
Thank you for the helpful vid. 62 yoa here & getting into air rifling to minimize my going to a range and having to constantly $pay$ to shoot. You’re fortunate to have land like you have there. I right a the foot of a desert mountain range. Right in my backyard, so one of the things I’d like to know is where exactly did you get your bench? Much appreciated if you reply (or anyone actually if they know).

because of how much recoil these air guns have do not put the rings up against the knobs you'll thank me later cuz that's asking to destroy a scope but that was a very good in depth video alway awesome content
Nice video. Gamo gen 3 looks nice with the magazine. I was looking at the Diana 54 airing as it has a recoil suppression system. would that help with accuracy and less stress on the scope.
The Air King is a great airgun. It will help with shootability and the scope. It's a gun that I've shot, but never owned. It's on my short list to get when I can.
Cheers
AGW
Is it recommended to use gamo pellets only or can you use others as well? I know it says itll void warranty and what not but idk if its just a marketing thing to get people to buy more of their products. Thank you!

Your air rifle is “accurate” up to 3 km???……. Bwahahahahaaaaa…. I call BS.
@@TheOverproof151I think he means 35 - 40 yards lol

@@alaskanmusher7098 yeah that's right, but I'm sad for their decisions, this can tell that all their next model gonna come without an open sight !
@@preythemantis5731 I hate scopes !
@@abdurrahmanmoustapha Imagine not being able to hit something farther away than 50 yards because the open sights look 3 times bigger than the target
Awesome video !!! but I still rather have my Gamo Swarm Magnum Gen 2 .22 because it has both iron sights and scope !!!!!!!!!!
The Gamo site has a scope mount video showing a step you missed. After mounting the scope and mount to the recoil dampener, they removed the scope (the reason the top screws are loose), and snugged up the locking pin. They then returned the scope and tightened everything up. The parallax setting on that scope is 25 yards.
Note Gen 3i mags only work with Gen 3i receivers marked with the green release.
Hey there. The stop pin on all these is dropped more than low enough. Generally speaking they are mounted pretty square. If you don't need to remove the top rings and add another layer of complexity to the setup, then there's certainly no need to do that. However, if you need to move the scope back or straighten it anyway and want to "tighten up" the stop pin, you certainly can at that time.
Cheers
AGW
Taking a new gun and in fewer than twenty attempts grouping those last five, well I'm impressed.
I realize this isn't a review, but what's a quick opinion of the gun?
The Gamo Swarm Magnums have been frankly pretty awesome for a while. They are light guns so technique becomes even more important. Once you get the hang of it however, it’s hard to put it down.
Cheers
AGW
Where did he get the tool to tighten the screws on the scope and scope mount
These break barrels are extremely accurate. I mean pellet on pellet at 20 yards. Literally.
You will have to use a good scope with AO and more importantly a good mount. Diana Bullseye at least. You also have to lighten the trigger by installing a longer screw but you have to know what you are doing because this can be very dangerous. Finally you have to find the proper pellets by trial and error. These break barrels will make you a better shooter.
Gamo scopes are junk. You can see that windage adjustment affects elevation and vice versa. They are blurry at 15 yards and they will break.
yeah i have 5 igt gamo break barrels right now. The two magnums, between them, have by now utterly devastated/destroyed/rendered totally defunct, a grand total of 4 scopes now. I have since outfitted the magnums with fixed mag scopes rather than the variable mag ones that the recoil keeps tearing to pieces. so far so good, but if the magnum destroys even a fixed scope then i might be in a pickle with that rifle
Any tips on cleaning your barrel before first fire.????
Good time for a comparison between it and the relatively new Hatsan SpeedFire Magnum 1250.
That’s something we can certainly look into.
Cheers
AGW
rick my 3i magnum has broken 4 scopes now. incredible
But no need for open sights I guess 🤷🏼♂️
@@GovtWatchdog it is pathetic that Gamo did not include open sights on the 3i magnum. I have a whisper mach 1 Magnum from Gamo and that one destroys scopes too, but it came with open sights and now thats all i use on that rifle and i love it. I finally figured out that if I just run a fixed 4x on the 3i magnum then it will not destroy the scope (yet). But it does make the zero walk around some. these powerful break barrels are in some ways more difficult than even shooting intermediate centerfire rifles because of how weird their violent recoil impulse can be
My scope doesn't seem to turn as his does at 15:38 for the viper gen3i scope, is it the same as this one? The glass protection won't be able to pop off if it's as far forward as it naturally sits
I could try pushing harder but I just wanted to make sure before I risk messing it up
What is the rifle rest you are showing in this video, please?
Love your stuff - Is there a good video on best cleaning technique for this model? Thanks
Not yet. But we can work one into the schedule.
Cheers
AGW
I know you probably know this but for the viewer if after you took your 1st shot. If you just held Bullseye and looked through the scope and crank that top turret all the way up to your shot that it impacted on the paper. That would put you on bull's eye within about 1or2 shots
Only if the rifle is completly static, if it moves will adjusting the turret youll be off
Can this gamo shoot apollo or h and n slugs
Everyone has forgotten about the original gamo magnum gun from 2016, internet full of gamo 2 and 3 until all their resources are exhausted.
I have gamo 2 due to upload my unboxing soon.😂
Once we have laser guns zeroing will be pretty easy😁
How much effort to break this barrel compared to the other models ?
I own a Beeman RS2 and having trouble cocking the gun, I am a seasoned citizen and lack the upper body strength to cock my break barrel, it's gotta be around 45 to 50 lbs. cocking strength. So to cock it, I place the butt on the floor or ground and put my whole upper body down on the barrel to cock it, I weigh 208lbs. I am 74 years young. Is it time for me to go pcp, or is there another break barrel out there with maybe 20 or 25 lb. cocking strength? I am NOT looking for junk.
