Gamo Swarm Magnum 10X GEN3i, .177 cal

This is a good buy!

Pros
This is a lot of gun for the money. I have had and have quite a few break barrel Airguns. This one is a beast. It likes heavier pellets to keep it subsonic. 9 grain for 177 and 12 grain for 22. Keep it above that and the gun is a tack driver. I have 150 shots through them both and at 25 yards I am at 1/2 inch groups with H and N barracuda green pellets. Red fire from GAMO also very accurate!! Its pellet picky and very hold sensitive being a springer type (gas ram). But once you learn the hold and find the pellet it is extremely accurate!! Dont pull hold with your trigger hand. Firm hold with off hand tight against shoulder. Follow thru consistently and its perfection. Once you can shoot a break barrel accurate then everything else is easy. Be patient. This gun will reward you!!! Scope works just fine!! Still using it! Hard to cock but thats what a magnum is! You want insane power you gotta put some effort in.

Cons
Nothing! I never use open sights because my eyes arent that great so Im okay with gamo dropping open sights.

Ordering was easy. It came quickly and the service was excellent.

Pros
Arrived quickly. The rifle. is very accurate. It's a light weight and feels good in your hands.

Cons
I wish it was a little easier to cock I wish they had not removed the sights

Pros
Great rifle very powerful and accurate.

Great for practice . specially if you live in the main part of the city with neighbors.

Pros
Out the box very little Zeroing I had to do to get on target at 50 yards.

Cons
With only 20-50 rounds sent through . This is not for someone who has shoulder or hand issues. The break barrel can give you a rund for your money when recharging. Even for a old Marine such as myself. Im guessing maybe after breaking her in,it will be alittle easier.

FANTASTIC first air rifle- you get as much power as you'd get with most other PCP air rifles in any price category (if not more) and one pump saves time in case you need a second shot, especially with self loading clips. I bought it for squirrels until I could get a PCP, this this is so powerful and accurate, I'll keep using it and just get a proper scope. If you're not hitting the target, fix or replace your scope, the gun itself is fantastic. Once zero'd in, if I put it against something stable, I NEVER miss a squirrel, even the small chipmunks. THIS is the one to start with. You will probably not need anything more. I shoot it nearly every day it's not raining (because squirrels don't usually come out when it's raining) and I don't even think about PCP's anymore.

Pros
Powerful AND accurate. Junk scope, but each time I reset it, it was accurate and fun. Eventually I added a $29 laser to the now broken scope, back to being fun again. If you take the time to zero in whatever scope/laser you're using (or just get a great scope) this is a great model air rifle. Pumps hard, but worth it to have rimfire power with one quick pump.

Cons
Loud, and the scope is junk. Scope worked great for a while, then went bad. STILL GAVE THIS 5 STARS. VERY SATISFIED with the rifle.

Pros
Excellent... except... Scope is such garbage it will make you think the gun isn't accurate. Replaced with a Hawke Vantage IR 3-9x40 AO. Perfect exchange no mods or ring change needed. FAR more consistent groupings. Replaced with longer rear trigger screw for near hair trigger performance. These two mods are a game changer and necessary in my opinion. You'll love the gun this way.

Cons
Scope and rear trigger adjustment screw

Awesome all around

Pros
Prob the most powerful and accurate gun I have..keeps up with a 22 magnum..

Cons
Louder than I expected

I wish it wasn't a break barrel ! So it would be more accurate

Pros
Love the whole gun

Cons
Hard cocking

Pros
Very powerful and very usable with the gen3i 10x magazine

Used it today in the very rainy woods so hardly a control environment. The rifle held up and worked flawlessly.
The cocking is yes stout, but totally doable. The scope is kind of Meh, but sighted in well and worked fairly well in the rainy conditions The inertia loading magazine worked well. I was shooting 18.1 grain pellets at about 35 yard and got reasonable groups off hand. They would likely be much better at a range using a rest. All in all a fun rifle to shoot in the field and should make for a good hunting rifle.

Pros
Seems well made, accurate and powerful

Cons
adjustable comb
