I really like your very open, honest approach ...refreshing I must say.....love of air gunning and shooting isn't about what expensive gear you can show off....it's about learning knowledge and discovering passion....your video shows us these in abundance. Thank you. 🙂
Very underrated video. Nice, detailed explanations, with close up camera views. Showing all important points, especially for folks like me, not familiar with this rifle.
Mine right outta the box... Excellent.. scope is on point.... Plenty of knock down power... Great accuracy, close &long Range.... Medium & small game. Wonderful hunting with these Rifles... Rock on GAMO.......................
Grate video I have a few PCPs but they all have to be pumped ore use a compressed air source and was concentering a brake barrow incase an air source isn't available. I have been watching a few videos and you have sold me on the Gamo Swarm .22. Thanks I will be getting one today. I really liked how you explained the difference between rifles out of all the videos I have watched you was the only one who did BIG THANKS!!
On mine, the focus on that scope can be adjusted by loosening the rear notched collar (located behind the rear scope mounting bracket), and then "slowly" turning the rear eyepiece housing, then re-tightening the rear notched collar, after obtaining the desired focus. Doing so eliminated the hazy, out of focus, scope images.
I really enjoyed your revirw!! Your comparison to the Gamo Maxxim was deeply insightful. Thanks to you, I have finally decided to purchase the Whisper over the Maxxim. Having reviewed comparisons between the two for awhile, your review was the deciding factor.
I promise you yours won’t shoot that good out the box, you’ll need to try a few different brand pellets see what shoots best then if your lucky you’ll be able to shoot on target with the crappy scope they give you
That .22 pellet bounces off my head at 6:55 of the video time lol.... just got my Gamo swarm whisper at Walmart for $172.99... Never tried it yet gotta sight it in. Bro The grouping looks good.🤙🏾Aloha.
I'm sighting my scope today here in south Texas. I have the same rifle.. it's really nice. I also have the ruger airhawk elite 2 in .177...its a nice buy as well. Shoots 1200 fps with alloy gold flight penetrators.
It's a great method for loading pellets . I just got my .177 yesterday , and I love it . If you're elderly , or arthritic , I wouldn't recommend it , because , it IS hard even on my messed up hands to cock , but , I do love it .
These are AMAZING air rifles. I got rid of the Gamo scope and got a Winchester 4x32 AO scope for $39 bucks from Amazon and I'm shooting dime size groups.
Yes it does help to see over the magazine, but in the instruction manual it’s also advertised as a shock absorbing device to keep the scope from moving after repeated shots. If this is removed, you can still see the center point of the scope and I found removing it and using a set of raised mounts works just as well and slightly reduces the weight of the rifle.
I just ordered one Today before they are all gone. My local Walmart shows that they have (3) in stock and they have ZERO so don’t trust the online numbers.It showed only one available on Walmart.com so I don’t know if they will get more since it’s been discontinued? I did a lot of research and I don’t see any reason to pay more for the new version of the same gun? I paid $160.47 with taxes and it’s being shipped to my home with Free shipping.I really like my RUGER Blackhawk .177 Springer but I really love the 10 round magazine and I wanted a .22!Caliber as well.The reviews look great and more than likely I will replace the scope like some many others but not right away.It is supposed to be here the 1st of the week since I ordered it so late in the week but that’s ok with me.👍👏
Thanks, I do buy most of my pellets and targets from Amazon, I’ve been saving for a PCP I saw on Amazon so I will definitely make a video when I get it.
Thanks for the advice! I might do that. I found a cheap stock cover that has a cheek rest that you can fill yourself to your desired height, so if that doesn’t work out, I’ll try and create my own.
They are so accurate that at 50 yards a hit a metal target the size of a Quarter at 55 Yards. I Smoked Two Chipmunks at 40 Yards last night. It’s noisy as can be.
I get more bang for my bucks, the Crosman 1077 .177 cal ~ its 12 shot to! with 2 mags, 9 speed loaders, scope 39 power, 40 co2 cartridge, and a muzzle brake cost all togather cost less than 100 bucks! Now to pump it up with paintball tank ect ect its very accurate at 35 yrds. it was going threw heavy roofing tin. until pressure started to drop > RATED up to 780 fps from factory
@@midnightmodder I agree! its the loading ever shot for a pellet gun, It don't bother me loading a single shot break shotgun > but a pellet gun? it does all the pumping, and the pellets are so small for my big fingers. lots of times you need 2 or 3 shots That all your going to get off hunting is 3 shots at the most
In most cases yes, but according to daisy/Gamo themselves who responded to my email about this very topic, it’s not always the case. There are .22 caliber rifles with red bands and .177 rifles with green bands also both calibers with blue or black bands. There are also .25 caliber rifles with green bands in Spain. This is why they have a cart on the back of the box explaining what color is associated with the purpose of the rifle rather than the caliber of the pellet but you are right, in the USA, yes the associated band more commonly represents the caliber. According to Daisy/Gamo anyway.
I Emailed the Gamo help center before making the video inquiring about this very subject and they responded that the color band coincides more with the purpose of the rifle VS the caliber or calibre of the pellet. Although most .22 rifles do have a green band and most .177 have a red band, there are .177 rifles with a green band and .22 with a red band. Also, they make a custom competition rifle available in Spain that is a .25 caliber that has a blue band.
That's wrong the Green band means it's suited for hunting the Red band means it's more suited for target shooting. It say this on the box. Whisper dB levels are around 93-95 dB just fyi. I own the same air rifle and I've tested the dB levels at least a few hundred times. I have had it for about 4 months now, I bought mine from Bass Pro here in Arizona and have around 1100 rounds through it already.
Also just so you know Gamo break barrel air rifles have been engineered so that they can be dry fired without damaging it. No other air rifle company that I know of can you do that to. Look up the video where the guy here in Arizona does it like 100 plus times in a row to prove it also they say it somewhere on the Gamo website that they engineered out the dry fire issue around the 90s
Jago808, Kay Bee and 2010ollie2010 are all correct. In the video at 1:19 you can clearly see gamos chart for the bands Green- Hunting Red- pest control and recreation Blue- Target and competition Speaking with gamo on this subject and they stated in an email that “ although the bands are color coordinated to represent what the rifle is best suited for, that doesn’t mean you can’t use the target & competition or Hunting rifles for pest control or target shooting. The only one that’s classed separate is hunting. You should not use a pest control or target classed rifle for Hunting because it would be considered inhumane. The caliber or power of the rifle is not designed for Hunting and could result in serious injury to the animal that may not be fatal right away causing the animal to suffer.”
The only bad things about the 1077. pellets fall out of the speed loader, got a sloppy trigger pull, and the co2 12g cartridge is to small for its use. for less than 100 bucks. I'am very happy with it ~ Less i wasn't out no dam 1700 bucks>> REMEMBER THIS! Any pellet gun is not worth over 200 bucks! All pellets guns got there own problems! Work on the problems!
@Edgar Critter if it's a heavy slingbow with a broadhead maybe so. But from what I've seen, these high cal. Air rifles are a very good alternative to have a safer bet in accuracy. I make recurve horsebows that shoot 55lbs. Still would rather use a rifle.
@@midnightmodder Look what your paying for? A dam air rifle. NO where near as good as a Rim fire 22! and Much cheaper , BUT BE MY GUESS! BUY A 20k one! its YOUR MONEY
You are absolutely wrong about the differences between the swam whisper and the maxxim: - maxxim : CAT trigger , whisper: standard trigger ( not the SAT trigger) - maxxim ; barrel twist rate 1 in 15.75 , whisper: 1 in 20
Well good to know, and thank you for the Barrel twist rate information, I’ll have to add it to my follow up video. Daisy of America/gamo help center are the ones who answered my questions of differences between the two through an email after I contacted them wanting to know more about these two and the Notable differences so I just rolled with that. And as for the SAT trigger comment, yes it is a “ standard trigger “ just as you stated. It’s a Standard Action Trigger or S.A.T. As clearly stated on the box in the video in plan view. Just like the maxxim has a C.A.T. Which Stands for Custom Action Trigger. Thanks for the info! Have a great day.
Good to know. Thanks. Always great to hear feed back. By the way, I am not a professional air gun expert so I will make mistakes. I do apologize for any misinformation I do say. Most of my information is based on other Air gun reviewers opinions and channels such as airgundepot, AAR on air, pyramidair and many others I watch when I’m interested in acquiring a new air rifle or BB gun. I have seen in the past that these channels all make the same mistakes about triggers even calling the swarm whisper trigger customizable like a CAT TRIGGER or airgun detectives mistakenly calling it a smooth action trigger. I did email Gamo about the triggers they use and they sent me a lengthy description on the types of triggers they use from SAT, to GRT, to CAT and they claim none of the triggers they use are “ standard “ but according to Gamo it’s a GRT 3g or 4g based on the model. They too could be wrong because it’s just a help center.
I have the Gamo Magnum, and cocking that thing is brutal. Does anyone know if the cocking effort on this rifle is any easier than the Magnum?? Any info would be appreciated...thanks!
Just got the whisper for Christmas and it’s a real bear to cock. I see all these videos of people just effortlessly cocking their gamos and I’m like “am I that big of a woos?”
I bought this gun from Walmart without paying attention to what was written on their airgun case..which said, " No Return on Airguns ". I fired one shot and that was it. The gun broke. After the first shot, there was a total loss of power, and you could see the pellet fly about as fast as I could throw it by hand. Do not buy an airgun from Walmart !
I like to watch accuracy test on air rifles, but so often like in yours you don’t say how many yards away you are when you’re shooting the groups. Please write it on the target, the yards or at least verbally say😮 8:178:17 long you were shooting in the yards

Best review vid I've seen. Thanks man.

ONLY because that intro is bangin homie!
I’m glad you posted this video I’ve been wanting a .22 gamo for a while
Do it. THey are awesome. . Ive got the gamo hpa jungle maxxim igt 5,5mm and its a beast!
I promise you yours won’t shoot that good out the box, you’ll need to try a few different brand pellets see what shoots best then if your lucky you’ll be able to shoot on target with the crappy scope they give you
Dude this is awesome thank you for this video
Very good review! I have been looking for an economical air rifle, and you have convinced me to purchase this rifle!
How good is it

That intro though! 🔥
Thanks for the review
I just got my gamo whisper gen1 .22. Love it. Did a bunch of mod and up grades. Want to know the most proper way to clean it.
I used the Pointed pellets for mine Swarm, it’s two weeks old. The only down fall to me it’s very noisy compared to my Winchester model 425
It's a great method for loading pellets . I just got my .177 yesterday , and I love it . If you're elderly , or arthritic , I wouldn't recommend it , because , it IS hard even on my messed up hands to cock , but , I do love it .
I absolutely love the 10 shot loader
Nice review. The scope riser is there so your scope is higher than the magazine so it will have a clear view.
Great grouping. 👍🏾
These are AMAZING air rifles. I got rid of the Gamo scope and got a Winchester 4x32 AO scope for $39 bucks from Amazon and I'm shooting dime size groups.
does the scope make a big difference?
@@theguythatlikestoaskquesti9583 Yes. Unless you're a naturally good shot then I don't see the point in not upgrading
Bought one last week, definitely need better optics. For the price gun is fantastic.
Great video. What was the distance you were shooting at in the video and what grain pellets were you using? Thanks.
Idk
Also got a Swarm Whisper and like it very much!
Mahalo Bruddah!
Good video
very good review thanks
The scope riser is so you can see above the magazine.

V interesting. I have A Whisper Maxxim. Wasn't cheap, single break barrel.
What was the range you were shooting at? How many yards?
your a good shot , how many yards out?
I got that yesterday an after. A few shots one got smashed on the barrel I removed it but now is not shooting with the same potency. Do you know why
There is a new version of the swarm system. It is flatter & has open sights.
Only on th magnum it had opens
Your right, its called the Gen 2 swarm whisperer
A1
Hatsan 25 cal for under 200 is a beast yo Amazon big leads should be ur next vid
Thanks, I do buy most of my pellets and targets from Amazon, I’ve been saving for a PCP I saw on Amazon so I will definitely make a video when I get it.
fairly easy to build up your cheek piece with naugahyde and foam, leather and foam or old t-shirts.. or.. well you know.. land of inovation.. :D
Thanks for the advice! I might do that. I found a cheap stock cover that has a cheek rest that you can fill yourself to your desired height, so if that doesn’t work out, I’ll try and create my own.
How many shots can you take before having to readjust your scope due to the recoil?
What’s the distance you shot at?
They are so accurate that at 50 yards a hit a metal target the size of a Quarter at 55 Yards. I Smoked Two Chipmunks at 40 Yards last night. It’s noisy as can be.

You should buy another and one, combine them to use a crank trigger, turn it into a pellet gat. Lol
They sell kits for a Ruger 1022. AR's...
@@midnightmodder Would you stand out in front of it?
@@426superbee4 sure my pops taught me to conserve ammo, so all I need is one shot! Lol

You sound like the chap who does the GoPro tutorials.
What range were you shooting?
Que POTENCIA TIENE !! EN JULIOS !! AQUÍ EN ESPAÑA !! EN EL CRONI !! ESTA CARABINA DA 19 JULIOS!! SALUDOS DESDE ESPAÑA!!
Ahi dice 1000fps que es pies por segundo.
I thought the color of band on back indicated caliber
I got the swarm maxum 22 cal
The band means it is a 22 cal, red is for the .177.

Dang i guess Dunhums store got me, It was 217..dollars with tax.Nov. 12. 21.
Issues with Amazon? Getting missing items instead of all the gun components ? Because that is what just happened to me.
No the green band means it’s a .22
if it’s .177 it’s red
I have red and is 22 and 45 joule in Netherlands

Pretty sure a ricochet just nicked the camera or stand. Close call!
how to mount the scope?
Seriously, you can possibly take a boar with this?
I use the hollow points for target and crissman piranhas for hunting
How much and where to order?
Amazon just sent me .22 cal instead of .177 for my varmint rifle.
