Sweet light air rifle. A good one for carrying around the wood hunting, it seems,. Great review of Gamo's first generation swarm system. The Generation 3 is much more expensive. Excellent honest review Travis!
Always makes me chuckle when Gamo comes up with all these different model names . Mine is from 2017 called the Maxxim in .177 caliber , the year it came out . Mine has metal trigger ( with the trigger screw mod ) and the stock is only slightly different . Priced at 180.00 then . Still shoots flawless to this day . Installed a 4x16x40mm side focus on day one . Got extra mags through Gamo cheaper than anyone else .
Hey Travis, Thanks again for the great video. Glad to see you!!! I thought we weren't going to get any videos for a while. Btw, at the time of this writing 12/16/23, you can get those gen 1 mags for about $10 to $14, and the Gen 1 magloader $35 online, and if you are handy with a coping saw and drill, you can convert the old Gamos without the Swarm mechanism to use the Swarm mechanism. The great thing about the Gen 1 is that the new Gamo Arrow PCP uses the same mag. That way you save about $170!!! And if you ever get the Arrow in the same caliber you can use the mags interchangeably. Nancybags is selling refurb Gen 2 Swarm Magnums without the crappy scope for $175 + tax online dBay. You save about $150 and you can put on your own scope. Hope you get a lot of squirrels. Stay Safe. Be Well. GOD BLESS.
Dang,good group! I been looking for another break barrel, too! Waiting for a squirrel hunt, you should take this gun!! Thanks for sharing, have a great weekend! Steve
Just bought a GAMO 10 shot .177 Absolutely love it and am about to upgrade the scope. The magazine was a little difficult to load. I lubed the o ring with a cotton bud ever so lightly using Vaseline 250 shots later and it's still working a dream.
If you ever see some of the Superlube silicone grease. It’s in a little grey tube. That’s been the best that I have found for those mags. I bet a .177 would do great! Thanks for your comment.
I bought one up about 4 months ago. After sighting it in at 35 yards I have taken a few squirrels. I like mine but I am thinking of changing the scope. On the box mine was advertised as 975 fps. I don't know what it is actually doing but it works for me. I did buy a extra magazine off of Amazon.
If I’m not mistaken my cousin has that gun and like I said last time I loved the gun he has but he let it rust and dry shot it for fun bc it sounded loud and now it’s got like an 15 inch groupings
This was the very first air rifle that I bought . Since then , I've added an Umarex Hammer .510 , an Air Force Texan LSS .510 , two AEA's , the Element Max .510 and the Challenger Bullpup in .357 , and two more Gamo's , the Magnum.22 , and a Fusion .22 , I absolutely love them all . 😊
Hey love the review! I'm thinking of getting this and was wondering whether this rifle would be good for hunting rabbits and ducks in the .22 caliber. Thanks.
Mine is amazing for the money. Super accurate and smooth to shoot. It'll stay with higher cost air rifles like Weihrauch and bizarrely BSA for a lot less money.
I've tried very hard to like the swarm gen 1 system in .177 but after destroying one and having problems with the second I can't say I will ever be in the market for an other multishot break barrel... _Other than this the rifle itself is pretty decent but Ive paid more to get the magazine so I was not too happy overall._
My Ruger impact elite 22 is getting about 820 fps with 1 1/2 inch groups at 27.5 yards. I'm using Ruger 14.7 g pellets. With the crosman premier 15.4 g I'm getting 750-780 fps . It's shown to be a bit better than the whisper has. Just gami has the better trigger and the clip
Great video! I just got that same gun a week ago, shot about 20 rounds so far, very nice gun for the lower price! I have to ask you how you break and cock this gun with such ease? My gun takes a bit of doing to cock it. Will it get easier as it breaks in, or are you just a Hercules strong man?
I'm not getting the same results my gamo came with out mag and looked like it was run over by a truck couldn't hit a two foot by two foot target send it back and didn't get any help THAY gave me a mag new scope and some plastic pellets witch every other one feal out not a fan
I'm glad you haven't lost your enthusiasm for air guns Travis I really enjoy the spin you put on your videos keep going

Mornin G!
Mornin Travis, I am digging the information packed video's. That baby groups really well. Like G said nice and light for hunting.

I thought so too! Turns out I’m not super employed at the moment lol. It’s all good though. I’ve got plenty of time to shoot now.
I have the Swarm Dx .22 and I love it!!!! It’s a super accurate gun. Great review BTW.
Dang,good group! I been looking for another break barrel, too!

Looks like a good value for the price. I've seen some good reviews, particularily from Keith Warren who has used it for hunting.
Those Diablo pellets from RIFLE you gave me I really liked them shot very well
Great video! That thing sure puts em in there… impressive 💥 Appreciate the videos 🍻

Nice self contained, ready to go AG!
That's the one I have.... Sweet gun! Thanks for the review.
I use 17 grain with 18 foot ponds

I have this rifle, I love it. Thanks for the video.
Love your videos Travis

Did you clean the barrel at all prior to shooting? Better scope ?
Hey There! Love the rifle, I own a first gen swarm myself. No complaints cheers!
Morning Travis
Mornin Lou!

I would love for hatsan to do a 30 cal break barrel set up like that with the muti shot I Wonder if it's possible
Hey love the review! I'm thinking of getting this and was wondering whether this rifle would be good for hunting rabbits and ducks in the .22 caliber. Thanks.
hi,thanks for the review
im noticing the front stock screws seem to be not tightened all the way in..or is that just my eyes? 0:12
They were tight. This one needs a couple of washers though. Good eye.
I like budget, friend!

I have inert gas technology after a binder at Taco Bell, but thats another story 🤣🍻
Explosive gas technology is what I’ve got after Taco Bell.

It will break it and become easier to cock. I am however a big guy. So I probably have a little extra leverage.
@@ohshoot444 Thank you fro your reply!
Diana is also a very good brand.
Doesn't the rear sight show up in the scope? It's pretty high!
It ghosts out. Kind of like a scope on a AR with the front sight sticking up.
My favourite ❤🎉
From pk ❤
What better scope would you recommend?
BSA outlook 4x32 or 3-9x40.
Just got mines what i found out is it loud why your gammo ilsound like a dud but mines sound like its a loud blast
@@JoeySavage-y5j probably the microphone. It limits my audio to the same max level. Normalization and compression is what the effects are called.
@ohshoot444 ok makes sense have you ever hunted 🦃🦆 or raccoon 🦝 with the Gamo
@ neither no. Don’t think it’d be very effective unless at close distances. The h and n hornets wouldn’t probably help though.
I'm not getting the same results my gamo came with out mag and looked like it was run over by a truck couldn't hit a two foot by two foot target send it back and didn't get any help THAY gave me a mag new scope and some plastic pellets witch every other one feal out not a fan
How much its cost
$130-$160 USD
Would this take care of small mice and rats from like 10-20ft
Oh yeah
where can i get it ?
They sell them at most big supermarkets here.
@@ohshoot444 i mean online..
@@ohshoot444 haha must be u.s then.
Is this strong enough for hunting raccoons?
At close ranges yes.
I known I'm not the only person that got ripped off if it's happened to you let's talk
Ripped off how??
Definitely needs a better scope...way way off
U have to pull back both triggers? How stupid
One is the safety.
🙊🙊🙊🙊 lol
