Gamo swarm maxxium

[kzz1kaw]

Anyone bought one? I'm waiting on feedback on this 10 round mag break barrel. Accuracy say out to 50yrds?

[TxFlyFish]

I bought one a few days ago. Not many pellets down range but it seems accurate so far and be able to group well at 10yd rough sight in. The mechanism actually does work pretty well and the only issue so far is that if you don't cock all the way and try to re cock the barrel the pellet will fall out. The stock material is so so and the metal on the scope rings is kinda soft. The scope itself is great actually clearer than many in this category. The gun is still dieseling so I can't comment about the fps or noise, but it seems like the shroud is working based on some past gamo I shot.

Overall very impressed though! Very handy and makes it fun to shoot

Go to select gate, then down to european/asian air gun gate, then Gamo & Spainish gate. There's a couple of threads at the top of the page about the Swarm.

It looks like that big mechanism on top of the barrel partially obscure the scope.  Does it to is that just the angle of the pictures I've seen?

[lefteyeshot]

Just looks like that. Repeater part doesn't show in scope at all.

Haven't had a chance to chrony yet. Can't say about accuracy yet. RWS .177 8.2 grs Meisterkugeln seem to do best so far. 1- 1 1/2 inch. at 25 yards.

Gun is really light for me even with the scope mounted. Recoil might be throwing it off. Filled the butt stock with old pellets. Had to put a wad of paper in the front of the cavity first to plug it. It feels about 9-10 lbs. now. When I get a chance I'll see if the extra weight will tighten up the groups. That worked with my Gamo Silent Cat and pawn shop Gamo Shadow 1000.

The repeater function works perfectly. 100% versus about 90% with my two Mexican Mendoza break barrel repeaters.

Big scope stop pin holds scope in place just fine.  No mildots. You can adjust the reticle with fingers.

I screwed the trigger adjustment screw in front of the trigger blade all the way in and have no first stage. I prefer it that way. And with the screw behind the trigger all the way in the trigger pull was 3lbs 6 oz. With the back screw out almost all the way (with thread lock to keep it from falling out) pull is 2lbs 4 oz. Did a bumps test and checked the safety. It's okay set that way. GRT trigger might do better.

I'm able to load pellets individually into the barrel. Checked the anti- bear trap and held barrel tight and pulled trigger with barrel in different positions from all the way open to all most closed and barrel did not jump.

Safety is not automatic.

I'd prefer a wood stock and an all steel barrel. But it's still a keeper.

Dang it!  You just talked me into getting one!  I just order the .22 cal, looking forward to trying it out.  Thank for your input, you just cost me $159.97!  LOL!

[lefteyeshot]

$159! I paid $179 for mine. I called in the order to ask a question and the guy found a $20 coupon for me. They were $199.

I called again to change the card I was going to use and ordered a extra magazine and they knocked $1.50 off. They'll be in stock 3/31/17.

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

Sportsmanguide.com had them for $170.99 and I found a $30 off coupon.  Of course, shipping bumped it up $17.99 and then they tack on another .99 for package protection, whatever that is!  It still came out lower than anywhere else.  I don't know why everyone can't be like Amazon and Walmart and offer free 2 day shipping!  As I was shopping around, shipping ranged from free to $34.99!  I really don't understand these shipping rates sometimes!  I did order a spare magazine from Pyramyd Air and got the $1.50 off. 

I did find an interesting on-line store that had it for $181.99, but there were no coupons and shipping was pretty high.  The website was Two Testicle Tactical!  I left the rifle in my cart and shortly there after received a reminder e-mail from Jessica!  Hmmm, talk about gender confusion!  But then, I digress...

That is kinda' waving it in your face.

  You can block half the scope at very close range and not even see it. Here are photo's I just took of scope blocked by a ruler and what I see through the scope. Can't even tell it's there.

Tried a bunch of different pellets in the Swarm yesterday. In the end the RWS Meisterkugeln were the one the gun liked. Ten shots, 25 yards,half inch ragged hole. One flyer half inch away.

Trigger pull average 2lbs. 9oz. Going to get GRT.

I saw that deal also but I think they had an estimated shipping date of may.

I just broke down and ordered one through pyramid air (22cal). I had a coupon so it took 10% off plus free shipping.

Wow, must have been a lot of orders placed.  I just checked my Order status and it still says expected ship date is March 22, so hopefully, that won't change!
