Description

From the all-weather synthetic stock to the bull barrel, and adjustable cheekpiece, the Gamo Bone Collector Maxxim is built to please any hunter looking for an enjoyable day in the field. It comes equipped with a 3-9x40 scope and mount for more precise shooting.

The Gamo Bone Collector Maxxim incorporates Inert Gas Technology (IGT) into the powerplant by using a gas cylinder versus a conventional spring. That means you get smoother cocking and shooting, no spring torque, no spring fatigue, no issues shooting in cold weather, and a much longer life than a spring powered gun. Not only is this rifle incredibly powerful, but it has many features that set it apart from ordinary breakbarrel rifles with a typical metal spring. The IGT allows you to cock the gun and wait before you take your next shot without worrying about the metal spring weakening. Gas pistons are robust and shoot MUCH smoother, delivering less twang and vibration to the shooter!

New to Gamo is the Whisper Maxxim sound suppression technology. Not only does it deliver a quieter shooting experience, but it also offers even more recoil reduction in addition to enhanced balance and handling.

The ambidextrous synthetic stock has an adjustable cheekpiece, making this gun ideal for right- or left-handed shooters, and for added comfort, the Bone Collector Maxxim has rubber inserts on the grip and forearm. The buttpad incorporates the Shock Wave Absorber (SWA) for more recoil reduction. And while the gas piston seriously reduces vibration, the SWA recoil pad stops you from feeling most of the recoil from the remaining movement of the gun.

The Bone Collector Maxxim is equipped with the Custom Action Trigger (CAT). Light years better than the previous version, you can tailor this trigger to your personal preference. With this smooth and predictable trigger, you'll be amazed at what a great shot you are!

Only Gamo offers the Recoil Reducing Rail (RRR). Designed to subdue the stress on your scope, the RRR absorbs shockwaves and reduces the stress on the internal components of your scope by almost 100%. That equals a longer scope life for you.

This rifle is sure to please any hunter looking for quiet accuracy and all-around comfort.

Good feel and trigger with safety. Not too loud in the city.

after 3 years it started to come apart. The screws and sights rings came apart. The nail in the coffin was the metal grinding down the gas block every cock making it dangerous to continue using. No response from Ammo service.

Affordable reliable ready to go out the box

It is not as quiet as it is listed to be

For me the Crosman round nose was the most accurate

I usually don't do reviews but after seeing the reviews on gamo air guns I had to share my experience with this bone collector maxxis. I have had a few airgun over the past 4 years. 3 crosmans , 3hatsans , 2 benjamins and all had something that I didn't like whether it be the weight of the gun or the trigger or the feel of the stock or the accuracy of the gun. I guess every time some one orders a new gun he has hopes of some magical gun, well I have just that gun. Its light in hand, the gun feels good in hand ( stock ) looks awesome and the accuracy well I can put pellet on top of pellet all day long at 12 yrds. I haven't had the chance to shoot it past that for all the snow we have . Its not the most powerful gun out there but power does you no good if you can't hit what you shoot at. gamo rates gun at 17.8 ft lbs and mine is getting just under 17 ft lbs with a 14.3 grain crosman piranha pellet. I plan on trying other pellets so it may get better, as far as ft lbs goes.

nothing

It also has a three year warranty . you cant go wrong

lightweight with decent fps

the linkage that cocks the piston drags terribly on the barrel

I have, in the last 2 months, purchased 10 new air guns, pistols and rifles. This is the first one I have not been able to get sighted in. It started off throwing pellets all over the target. I credited that to it being new and not broke-in yet. I cleaned the barrel and lubed all pivot points and tried some more. After 100 rounds it still throws pellets all over the target, never shooting twice in the same place. I'll try another 100 pellets and if it's as bad, I'm sending it back. I'll update this post if it settles in and shoots straight. If I don't update this post, you'll know I sent it back.

I've had this gun for several years, and have given up shooting it because it can't hit the same target twice. I went through all the "artillery" hold stuff, tried many, many different ways to try and get some accuracy out of it, and was never able. I would rate this gun as a 3 start at best. I will try a different scope to see if that helps, but at the end of the day the nitro recoil is unpredictable shot to shot, and I can't see how anyone his anything with this gun. I went to a PCP and now stack pellets at 25 yrds.

Craig Dec 28, 2017

It's a good gun at first. With a better scope, I was able to headshot squirrels from 30yards no problem. The something happened. I have no idea what, but I can't hit a damn thing anymore. When zeroing the scope the pellets would hit target, then some would fly upwards. grouping was very bad. Fantastic gun for the first 200 shots but horrible afterwards.

Tim May 20, 2017

Absolutely right! My scope markings are coming apart inside. I no longer have Cross hairs. The rings also do not hold the scope well. I had the same problem trying to sight it in before I realized the scope was moving about. Tightened the screws so much it's scary! Better now but the windage and Elevation rings have come unglued. I haven't even owned it for a full year yet!

David Feb 20, 2017

I think I know what your problem is. I've got the bone collector whisper and its pretty much the same gun as you got.Same power I had this problem myself somewhat and it was that piece of junk scope. The damn thing wouldn't hold the adjustment.I noticed that everytime I started losing my target the scope had jumped out of adjustment and then I would turn it back It would be OK for a while then I would lose my target again. I finally went to a crosman center point off my Remington XGP and I was able to hit everything I shot at all the time. Gamo scopes are worthless pieces of junk they shouldn't even be on the market because I went through three of them and they all did the same thing Try the crosman center point and see if that will work because the gun will shoot straight I've killed a lot of squirrels since I switched scopes .

My first Air Rifle. It took all of 20 rounds to get 5 rounds in a 2in Circle, not bad for an old guy. I did have a friend help me prep it first, something you should tell first time buyers.

I'm not going to give it a full rating yet but I'm very pleased with the purchase.

Surprisingly light, more so than expected. Knowledgeable person should love this unti.

The gun is fine, no problem there.

The scope is horrible!! Ordered a replacement.

Maurice Nov 22, 2019

The people at Gamo must be the worse business people in the world. They see all horrible reviews about their junk scopes and yet they just keep on putting them on their rifles. I have owned several gamo guns and for the price they aren't bad. They would be better off just selling the guns with no scope or put a better one on it and raise the price. There are a lot of low cost cost scopes now under $50 that are much better then what they are pushing onto people now. I think retailers like Pyramid Air should order the guns without scope and build their own package deal. It would make better sense and they would sell more. It is a pain in the butt to have to buy a gun and then have to buy a better scope. I know you can't make everyone happy, but you can try. Why not put the budget Mantis 3-9x40 AO on it, maybe jack the price up $20 or so, I'd buy them all day like that.

All Gamo scopes are never met a Gamo scope that I liked.
