I have a Gamo Varmint and I can hit a tin can at 50-55 yards or so fairly consistently. I really like this air rifle for squirrel hunting, and it even has the power at 50-55 yards to kill a squirrel most of the time
I put an old 3x9x40 scope on it and this thing is very accurate. Center bullseye at 30 feet every time from a rest. Used the Gamo Red fire pellets 7.8 g and it dropped the squirrel dead in its tracks.
@@FunkyDragons I have the same pellets lol in Canada they sell a low power which is like you would buy in the states only require ment is 18 and then they sell the full one but u need a full firearms license for it
Since the ammo shortage (or maybe I should say the almost complete non existence of ammo) I have taken to shooting a pellet gun in the back yard. I have neighbors. Unfortunately 1250 FPS is supersonic. I couldn't believe how difficult it was to find a subsonic break barrel pellet rifle. I wound up with a Beeman R7. A bit on the expensive side, but nice and quiet, VERY accurate, and easy to cock.
I got a mantis 4-9 x 30 on my G Varmint and can take the eye out of a sparrow from 75' with barracuda power 10.65 gr pellets. Consistently hit the same hole from 25' Good point on locking the scope down. I used gun screw locker glue. Great gun for the price.
I just bought the 495fps detuned gun. (I live in canada and the max limit is 500fps). Just trying to get this thing dialed in. I'm currently using stoeger x-hunt 8.64 grain pellets and it's going okay... most of the time I get good groupings about 35-40 feet. But then sometimes I get a pellet that will fly off into a random direction away from the grouping (maybe an inch or two). Do you have any recommendations? Thanks
@@bag2963 yup and if u don't clean all the oil out, then your rifle will sound like your shooting a .22 yeah it's freaking loud. Cops will be called if u have ahole neighbors
@@dmo848 good thing about living in the country you can shoot wherever and whenever you want even with neighbors, ain't no one care since they know they all have guns lol
Is this an American or Canadian model? The Canadian ones are only 495 FPS and the American are like 800 something and the Canadian ones drop after like 50 yards Edit, the American ones shoot at 1200 FPS stated
There is two varmint models you can get in Canada. Regular varmint is 495 FPS and the varmint high power is 1250 FPS. Need your PAL for the high power varmint. Both are on cabelas
I would not say loud but it is not quiet. Might want to look at one of the ones with a built in suppressor. I think they are called "whisper" or something like that.
Nice video sir... Can you make video on long range shoot with this gun.. And can you tell me should I buy this or should I go with whisper igt.... Please reply me...
We have both squares and circles and I forgot we had put on circles for the video. I couldnt see them at that distance. LOL Nope, not from Texas but have been asked that before. I will take it as a compliment because most everyone I have ever met from Texas were good people.

What pellets do you use I can't seem to get this kind of outcome
I took off my scope that came with the varmint and hit a target 50 feet away
i killed a rabbit at 41m!
Samuel, try rws superdomes. They work in most guns and are not expensive, 2.6 cents per shot for 177.

putting your target range on the front gate is a great way to prevent solicitors great idea
Got this gun off Amazon for $80. Best $80 I’ve spent
I was gonna buy one for 80 but then they went out of stock came back and now they are 140
@@glockwey honestly it’s still worth it. This was my first. Break barrel
It's 250 bucks in Canada and it's only a 495 FPS version
@@owenouthwaite8848 ouch. With Redfire pellets, I get 1250

Also look at the "whisper" versions with the built in "suppressor".
Just buy heavier pellets!!
This one is as accurate as the shooter. LOVE MINE!

I got a daisy 880 that is very old. it does not shoot very well. I am thinking about getting a Gamo varmit air rifle. look like it shoots very well.
I modded my trigger with a set screw 2.5 mm x 10. It made all the difference in the pull rate and accuracy
Thanks, for the info. I might have to get that a try.
I would also recommend a air rifle cleaning kit. You can acquire gunk in the barrel.
Could you just use a normal gun cleaning kit or does it have to be for air rifles?
@@crazykatana1297 No you can't use a normal gun cleaning kit. As I know air rifles are cleaned with silicone oil.
@@bag2963 Okay, thanks

Like the Gamos but I ended up getting a Crossman Silver Fox. It’s a nitro gun. Very accurate.
Crosman Vantage Np is more powerful than this one right?
Giorgi Mukhiashvili the Benjamin trail np xl is pretty nice. Wood stock and high velocity nitro piston
Can you tell me where I can buy parts for the Gamo .177 caliber varmint
Is this gun loud? And will I able to shoot in my backyard. I’m living in a city where neighbors are close.
I would not say loud but it is not quiet. Might want to look at one of the ones with a built in suppressor. I think they are called "whisper" or something like that.
Nice video sir...
Can you make video on long range shoot with this gun..
And can you tell me should I buy this or should I go with whisper igt....
Please reply me...
Whisper if u haven't bought anything yet.
there should be a screw in the base of the triger to adjust it.
Thank you very much. I just purchased me one of these. Will you show the ammo?
How is it? Thinking about getting one?
I accidentally put the second question mark
@@jentzsteiner they are awesome I’ve been killing squirrels and rabbits with mine
.177 you I recommend crossman hollow points, or game red fire pellets
Gamo hunter, crosman 7.4 wadcutters n hollow point it likes
Would have liked to know what ammo you are using and from what distance you're firing?
Cheap Crossman stuff from Walmart at about 40 yards.
Thanks, recently ordered a Gamo Varmint and hope I can get the same results, when it arrives...
Yours must be an older Gamo varmint mind game with an adjustable trigger
How does Gamo pellets shoo?
Just got it for my bday
Is it good? I’m thinking to buy one
Very good get it
how do you think the varmint compares to the crosman f4? they are both similarly priced budget break barrels
Not sure because I have not tried the F4. I have been very happy with this one.
Did u get it off Amazon?
I tried to order one but said it would take a few months
Few months to get one
Yes, ordered off Amazon.
What’s the furthest you can shoot with yours?
Depends on how h0rny I am.
50yrds accurately
It's been almost a year since this video has been released, how is the gun holding up nowadays?
My son still is shooting it and doing great.
@@GunsandGearNetwork is the gun loud enough to get the cops called on you?
@@niccolodeparmapanini2036 if you shoot a car door with hollow points yeee it does massive damage and noise lmao
@@niccolodeparmapanini2036 yeah it is.
Can you kill squirrels with it?
Yes, would be great for that.
1 inch squares he said? Definitely closer to a triangle
Was actually circle but forgot we switched to circles during the video.
@@GunsandGearNetwork im just messing with you. im more than sure that you know the difference between circle and a square
How much I.herd at my wal mart on sale 95
What ammo were you using?
fxdb Cooper RWS powerball is what I use in mine. Excellent accuracy and penetration.
Could this take a groundhog?
Maybe with good shot placement.
Yes, this thing is super powerful, I’ve killed raccoons and a coyote that was in my chicken coop with this rifle
I kill ground hogs with a crosman 1377, 6.2 fpe so yeah.
Squares? Nice shooting, but circles are not square in Texas and you sound like a Texan.
We have both squares and circles and I forgot we had put on circles for the video. I couldnt see them at that distance. LOL Nope, not from Texas but have been asked that before. I will take it as a compliment because most everyone I have ever met from Texas were good people.
@@GunsandGearNetwork It was a compliment. Still time to get here as quick as you can.
Does it hold 0?
So far so good.
@@GunsandGearNetwork Is it the stock scope?
@@lev8i437 Yes
I'd recommend switching it for something a bit more expensive. The stock scopes tend to get abit shitty after a few months
how many yards?
Nevermind...I heard it 20-25 yards
You can adjust trigger weight
How
@@outdoorswithgavin5072 Lil screw opening at the trigger guard. Right behind the trigger.
@@dmo848 thx
Can this kill a rabbit?
Yes, no problem at all.
It’s 1,200 FPS it will kill it easily
no way thats 20-25 yards. maybe 15 yards. loved the video though
It was actually 23 yards according to my range finder.
