Fantastic review Thank you. I bought a GAMO GX-40 a few days ago and knew nothing about it! The specialist shop I bought it from said they were a perfect introduction to target shooting and it looks like it was great advice.
Cheers again for another great realistic review to match realistic average wallets
Thanks very much Andy.
That's what I call a proper review, honest and unbiased.
Thanks very much Del - its what we aim for...
Nice review. The GX40 appears identical to my Gamo Phox, which I am really pleased with. My .22 Phox puts pellet on pellet at 25 yds (no wind). Be aware that because of the stiff cocking, it is easy to put two pellets in the barrel. Give it a good hard pull and no problem.
Hi.Yes, very similar. Thanks for watching.
Yes I did it to but no problem since
Iv just got one today wow what a rifle shooting amazing out the box thank you for your info on the gx40
Glad you like it Jason. Great rifle...
@@airgunextra not pellet fussy just a amazing rifle thanks to you thank you
Being trying to figure out, is the GX40 better than the GX-250 in terms of accuracy and value for money or the other way round, but the Coyote is still king in my opinion!
Great detailed review of my new air rifle thank you for that it’s helpful on setup
Glad you found it helpful Jamie. Enjoy your new rifle.
Nice review, friend.
Possibly my next rifle.
Step up from springers, although I do own an AA TX200HC so it’ll have a lot to prove to me. 😂
Thanks very much. I'm sure you'll be pleased with it. We've covered a few other affordable PCPs on the channel so you might to have a look at them too. Thanks for watching.
@@airgunextra Thank you Richard. 👍👍
hello Richard,Thanks for the review.without a doubt one of the best PCP on the market,at your price,I like the BSA brand.already Gamo has days.no doubt that to use at home you must have a suppressorr.Cheers
Thanks Luis. Nice to hear from you. I hope you are well...
Put bisley magnums in 4.52 the that group would be half the size all bsa barrels love the mags,top review once again
H&n ftt even better in my ultra
I agree i use bisley magnum in my gx40 .177 and pellet on pellet 35-40 yard no problem. Taking squirrel head shots 50yards no problem to.
It looks extremely great value.
Thank you for your review. I'd guess its more or less a BSA R10.
Hi Ian. The GX40 is a great affordable rifle, but the R10 is a few steps up the ladder! And then there's the R12 which I know you know all about!
Nice review Richard, it is quite 'BSA' as expected
Any plans to review Cometa rifles? I like the look of their Fusion break barrel for one....
Thanks Baz. I'll add it to the list. Too many guns and not enough time!
When will Gamo release a .25 cal non regulated pcp. Out all my rifles I love my Gamo just little bit more.
Great video, love the content!
Thanks very much.
Brilliant review. I think this is the first PCP for me. I like the Kral NP02 and NP03 but I don't think there's a lot between them, but this is Gamo/BSA and I feel a bit more confident buying a more established brand. The weight is good too, no problem walking and stalking. I also prefer this to the Phox package because its cheaper and you can add better quality scope and silencer. Do you think I'm making a sound choice? Thanks ATB MMMD
Good review Richard 👍
Thanks very much Dave...
Hi and thanks for the video! Two questions, do you actually fill to 232 bar or the industry standard 200 bar? What is the model of Hawke scope shown please?
Hi Craig - you're very welcome. You can fill to 232 bar, but no more. I tend to fill to slightly less than the maximum recommended on all my rifles and fill my GX40 to 200 / 210 bar typically...
Really find your reviews are great, as it is i'm currently looking for my first rifle and my head is spinning, i've kinda narrowed it down to either a Gamo or the ATA Airborne which i'm leaning towards, would you recommend one over the other.
Thanks very much. I'm glad we could help. The ATA Airborne is a great rifle. So too are the Gamo Phox and Coyote. In terms of performance, there is very little between them in terms of performance. It really comes down to which one you want - neither is a bad decision. Also, what you want it for. The ATA is quite heavy which is something to bear in mind if you plan on hunting, especially as the Gamo rifles are quite light. You might also get better after sales service from Gamo (BSA) if something goes wrong. If it was me, I think I'd go for the ATA as I was genuinely impressed with the quality of engineering for the price. Take a look at the Kral NP03 as well though (we reviewed it on the channel as well). In truth, as I say, there is no wrong decision. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful...
Hi 👋 great vid I'm happy that I have found your channel. I want to get into air rifle im seriously considering to start my new hobby. I came across the kral np 500 which I kinda liked what would your advice be for me
We're glad you found us too! The NP500 is a great rifle. Lots of stock adjustment and proven action. Its quite a large rifle and although it lacks a little of the sophistication of more expensive rifles, it does the trick, is plenty accurate and good value for money. Please come and see what else we have!
@@airgunextra I'm on your channel once done with it will defo go on your web page there seems to be tons of info. Hopefully once I find the right rifle ill be getting my scope from your store. Thank you for your work and reply 🙏
@@Nnsane Thanks very much. Please let us know if you have any questions - we'll do our best to help.
@@airgunextra thank you 🙏
I have just bought one
very interesting, and I think not only for me, to compare Gamo gx-40 and air venturi avenger, in caliber 5.5
Nice rifle , probably lives in the shadow of the PHOX , mainly because of the offered package you get .. I don't know the sales figures , but I bet I ain't far wrong .. as usual , a well narrated vid , with all the info you'd require for a prospective purchase ..
Thanks very much Mark. And I suspect you are right...
If you have a Gamo GX-40 in .177 that is not regulated down in Joul adapted to some country's laws, it shoots best with a heavier diabolo pellet that weighs 10+ grain. 😉

Thank you sir. I have a question. I would like to know, what is the optimal range of such rifles before the bullet starts falling down too much? Also, do you have information about the precise power of that rifle? Most shops just say about
Hi. Range is a subjective thing. For hunting live quarry, my own view is that at 12 ft/lbs (16 J), 30 metres is the maximum range in .22 and 40 metres in .177. It is possible to shoot longer distances, especially with .177, but I would only do so at targets and not live quarry. I understand that where laws allow, the GX40 is available up to 40J (around 30 ft/lbs) most probably in .22 calibre. At that level, I'd be happy to hunt out to 55 metres. If you are thinking of hunting, my advice is to spend time on the range shooting in all the different positions you expect to hunt from in order to work out you own capabilities at different distances (10 shots out of 10 within 2.5cm). But don't make the mistake of thinking that just because you can hit spinners sitting down, resting your rifle on a bench means you can take shots at live quarry at the same range. I hope that helps.
@@airgunextra Thank you very much :)
Thanks for the video. 👍👍👍
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment...
Okay, I scrolled down and read it's a 16 Joule. In our country you almost only can buy the 5.5mm cal version because it has 40J
Hi. The Gamo website quotes 27-40 Joules...I hope that helps. I'm guessing 27J is .177 and 40J is .22. www.gamo.com/en/gamo-gx-40-pcp/#
Bonsoir.Quel type de plomb qui convient carabine gx40 pcp?
Good budget pcp there Richard.
Thanks for the review.
It does look good quality for the price.
Richard have you had anything to do with the Vector Yeyron range of scopes?They do a 4-16-44 ffp for £205.00 would really appreciate your feedback.
Atb👍🏻😎
Hi Justin. Thanks for watching. I've not had a chance yet to get my hands on any of the vector scopes, but hope to soon.
@@airgunextra
No worries.Many thanks again.👍🏻
Hi, what's the muzzle energy of this rifle? Is it 40 Joule or less because you are using it with cal 4.5mm?
hi sir can u make some review about gamo chacal sir..thank you in advance sir..
Hi Richard , good review as always, what would be the cause of the split group? Human error, pellets or gun .
This happens to me quite a lot
Thanks Marty. Its hard to say. I usually find that new rifles need a few hundred pellets through them to get everything settled down. And for sure, variance in the quality of pellets can be the cause too. Its worth checking to see if the pellets that go wayward are the same ones each time as it could indicate an issue with the magazine. If you can, try single shot loading to remove any magazine issue in which the pellet is not delivered properly into the breech.
How much is it
Best thing to do is try and internet search Gil as the price will depend on the country you live in. Retailers will also vary.
Hi, I'm trying to decide between the GX40, Kral NP03 and maybe Stoeger XM1. Does anyone have any advice on which to choose? Using for targets but ideally want the most powerful.
Hi Calvin. We also reviewed the NP03 a little while ago. ua-cam.com/video/It0C0h4v2Ws/v-deo.html. Both great value rifles. If you can try and get into a shop and see them first hand. Good luck.
@@airgunextra Thanks. That’s my plan. Which would you suggest?
@@calvinw I have to say I was impressed with the NP-03. Both are very accurate and bang on UK legal limit power. Do you want a tactical style rifle, or traditional sporter? The NP03 has more adjustment in the stock as well...
great vid but is the action not bsa r10 ?
I'm sure there are similarities Rob, but the bolt on the R-10 is smoother to operate in my view.
Can I ask how do you get less with 177 then 22 most ever air gun iv seen its always more shoots with 177 and less with 22 and even less with 25 and so on
Hi Michael. I wish I could explain why it is (perhaps someone else will) but .177 rifles usually deliver fewer shots per charge than .22). It seems counter intuitive I know, but there you go! Thanks for watching.
my Fac coyote will put shot on shot at 60 m but has only 30 shots /fill
More than enough for a few bunnies Robert!
I'm looking at this or the ata airborne which is better ?
Hi Mike. They are both great rifles for the money. If you can, try and handle both of them to get a sense of what feels right for you. The ATA is regulated whereas the GX40 is not. But the GX40 is a lot lighter. Personally, if I was buying I'd go for the GX40. But plenty of people will disagree and prefer the ATA and I can see why. Sorry I can't be more helpful...
Y cuántos FPS? Dijo que le iba a cronear
Are you asking me what the FPS was?
Very different a .22 with a higher shot count than a .177
That's usually the way Gary. Don't ask me to explain it though! Thanks for watching.
chrono?
Is that a question?
@@airgunextra 1:40
does the Gamo GX40 have a single shot tray?
I don't believe so although I believe they are available as after market products.
🙂 nice pcp
