Page 6 - Gamo Swarm Maxxim Reviews

Accuracy, power, multi shot. Once I sighted this in my first shot at a pest was spot on at 30 yards. I read the reviews and can confirm that this rifle has the power and accuracy for pest control or hunting small game. The ability to immediately reload without fumbling for the next pellet is a game changer. The loader worked flawlessly. I'm also impressed with the power and clarity of the scope that comes with this rifle.

I wouldn't change anything on this rifle.

10 shot magazine. Gun is lite even with the scope which I changed to a Bushnell 3x9x40. Shot quarter size group at 20 yards with second magazine.

Nothing

But extra magazine!

The air rifle looks well made.

The scope is so far off that I cannot see pellet in site when shooting it in to dirt bank. Tried to adjust myself with no luck. I will have to take it to a gun shop to see if they can help me.

Not at this time.

Excellent pellet rifle. I have this same rifle in 22 cal. It will place dime sized groups of GTO 11.75 gr lead free pellets at 70 yds on a calm day. Have only put 20 on paper of this 177cal, at 25 yds in a quarter sized group. Ran out of time and weather. I am sure it will also be a fine rifle when I finish sighting it in. I have a Diana model 48 that cost far more than these 2 Gamo rifles combined and would say the Gamo's are more accurate with greater distance and not nearly as fussy about how the pellet is loaded. Very time consuming for the Diana. Gamo Swarm is a superior rifle for any money. Highly recommend it.

I paid 200 for mine its the .177 cal. The first I bought there was no scope in box or 10 shot mag. And no star tool to put scope on and this is right out of the box from Walmart. The exchanged it and the second one is GREAT. At first using a 10gr pellets sighted in at 10m great but dropped bad at 30m. Changed to a 7.3 gr pellets by Gamo and sighted in at 10m and hits a little high at 20m but back in one inch bull at 30m. Scope is good for me. Love to 10 shot mag. Rifle is easy to use in general. Ive shot over 500 pellets through mine. Great plinker shooting cans, iron and paper targets . Pretty cool to shoot plastic ping pong and plastic golf balls with at 30m . I ve also ised it to control pigeon pest problem from 10m to 30m out and clean all clean shots. Now suppressed doesnt sound like it to me. But noone around RV park is saying anything about the noise yet.

Nothing really

Buy extra mags I plan too soon. Light pellets have better accuracy..

Quiet, 10 shot clip, nice feel to rifle.

not much. would probably add swivels for sling or bipod.

Added the PA 20 shot set up. Scope nicely mounted and a little fine tuning and am right on. Definitely worth it. A little heavy to cock at first but after shooting awhile you get used to it and don't feel the difference any more.

the 10 round clip

have not fired it enough

it has the baffle on it, but it is still a little noisy when shooting

The price is good and the rifle seems well made.

The scope is difficult to zero. I have had several pellets fall out of the magazines when cocking the rifle and I can't find out why.

Gamo's "customer service" is POOR at best. When I registered my rifle I was told that the warranty is only 1 year when the box it came in says it has a 3 year warranty. I sent them an e-mail about the pellets falling out of the magazines when cocking and did not receive the courtesy of a reply.

Everything. Looks amazing, it is very accurate, and the repeater system, os just great. Fantstic rifle

Nothing. It is perfect.

Buy it. Do yourself a favor. Her the .22

I like the 10 shot magazine. The workmanship is outstanding. Weather has not been great so have only shot it about 40 times so not broke in and I have not dialed in the scope completely.

nothing

Great plinker ! Not most accurate rifle,but a BLAST to shoot! 10 rounds makes this very enjoyable as I have around 400-450 rounds out of 500 round tin gone. Great fun as my metal targets are at 20-35yds! Scope is not the greatest, but pretty good for package price. I wear glasses and adjusted for my eyes, and it does alright for fun day of hitting my resets and spinners over and over. Looks very nice with scope mounted. I have not had one problem with it loading all 10 rounds. I am shooting cheaper 14.3 gr pellets and am happy for just plinking.

For what I do, nothing. Not for driving tacks but lots of fun.

I think it is quiet, but we live in the mountains without a house next door. .22 cal with lead does not break sound with speed, and all I hear is a little pop. I have no complaints. Now, if surrounded by homes, I am sure your neighbor would hear the continued pull of the trigger, but might not know it is a pellet being fired.

Great gun! Lightweight and accurate. The 10x shot magazine is easy to reload and a great quality to have. powerful and deadly!

Everything but the scope. Great gun, .22 cal recommended!

Scope, either sell without out sell with a slightly higher power scope that fits this gun.

.22 cal would be my 1st option, .177 only if it's considerably cheaper, .22 cal has greater accuracy!

No complaints

Nothing

Hello fellow air rifle owners all I have to say about the Gamo swarm maxim .22 Is this Awsome Awsome and more Awsome.

Magazine has always worked in over 500 shots. Easy enough to cock, but not for kids. My first safety next to trigger, I like that.

Scope. I replaced it right away and put the scope on an old pump Crosman classic 2100. Seems to work well there, not sringer action to break the fragile insides.

Decent plinkin/minor pest hunting.

I bought the 22cal. version. I caught it on sale with free shipping and a free extra mag. The rifle is very powerful for a pellet gun. Plows thru heavy cans at 25yrds with no problem. Easy to use and the multi-shot system is flawless after 200rds. Good looking rifle too !After 100rds. Accuracy is spot on hitting same hole 3 out of four shots at 25yrds.

The scope would not zero and the reticle became canted during the first 50rds. I sent the scope back and will cross my fingers that the replacement will hold up. BTW, Gamo was quick and happy to rectify.

The scope quality seems to be hit and miss. Externally it is a quality looking scope. It is worth the time to return and try another before changing the scope.

The pellets load flawlessly, and the rifle feels very balanced. Pyramid sent me a bad clip, but the extras I bought worked perfect. The scope is not bad that comes with the rifle either. It's much better than the one that came with my Hatsan Sniper.

This gun is a little on the weak side. More power. The accuracy is not bad at 20 yards. That's about as good as it gets. The price should be around $150.

This gun is very easy to cock, and it's a great starter.

Love the loading mechanism . This is my first pellet gun I've owner since I was a child, and I'm impressed. No pumps or tanks and near PCP velocity. Very accurate at 35 yards.

Maybe the scope.

I paid $200 for mine I see its gone down in price worth every penny!

I really like the multi-shot magazine capability. I bought a couple of extra ones. Performance is very good. Accuracy is very good. Quality is decent. Can deliver one heck of an impact at 50' range.

I would like to have the reduced diameter area on the barrel extending further forward to make it easier to mount accessories on the barrel. The side to side motion of the break barrel is minimal.but enough to throw off a laser sight a bit.

The Whisper Sound Suppression technology is pretty much wasted, as it is still pretty loud when fired. No louder than my other break-barrel rifles though.

I love how accurate and sleek this gun is--the scope is incredibly helpful and its really helped me keep away the pests in my yard!

Unfortunately after about 6 months of great performance, I realized one day that the gun wasn't firing. There would be a popping noise every time I pulled the trigger, but nothing was coming out.

I took the gun to a specialist and he said that the pellets were all jammed inside of the gun and he is not sure how or why it happened. I'm really disappointed in the quality of the gun, and how it's unusable after just 6 months.
