Thank you for your hard work. Cocking this rifle is hard, but you did swimmingly. The video is spot-on in all categories. It is always a true pleasure to view your excellent work.
Big Papa just got this rifle for Christmas 2023 from his grandsons. We all will be walking the property with this and our 4 red riders for now. I love the rifles and your channel. Watching from Trumbull County, Ohio
Very nice. I still own two older gamo rifles and I don't mind loading pellets manually. They still work great after 15 years still going strong. I have an older IGT whisper fusion in .177 and a gamo hornet maxxim in .22 neither have a magazine system but they are a blast to shoot and both take down pigeons just fine
I'm seriously thinking about buying one of these to add to my air gun collection. I have the swarm maxxim in .177 was looking into getting this as my 1st .22 air gun.
Some of these break barrels can be a problem for some children or teenagers even adults who might not have the strength to cock the rifle, and have them stick to CO2 pellet or BB guns for now, and that was great shooting Angie and thank you for the upload!
When a child says "I can't do it", (and you know it can be done), I tell the child, sure you can, you just have not done it yet. This child figured it out. I bet it can be done on a table also so you would not have to do a "squat", but he may be too short for that. Now,--look at what a 8 year old kid figured out,---and he is British for crying out loud!!!!! :) ua-cam.com/video/j65T46DL418/v-deo.html Now don't feel bad. I bet he is not as "well read" as you probably are. hehehehe
Many centerfire rifles have been known to shoot a little better at longer ranges…notably the old British Enfield .303’s as the rounds tend to stabilize and calm down a bit after a couple hundred yards and usually shoot better than a 50 or 100 yard group would suggest.
I found with my gun (new Gen2 and my old Gen2), it did not like rapid fire fr consistent FPS. I put some gasket sealer on the bottom on the rubber breech seal sleeve, (air can make its way around it intermittently), and that helped a lot. But I find that time in between shots helps so well, I only sight in my first couple shots, as I found FPS starts varying, (and 852-783 is terrible for long distance shooting), when I keep popping shots off. 65 yards on a 1" target for my first shot though. A clean barrel helps too. I don't think many clean the factory grime out of it before they start testing. For this gun, make sure you get the grime off the breech after cleaning, (the mag is covering it), or you will diesel and damage the piston seal on the next shot. Another reason why I like H&N pellets is for the thicker skirts that survive well in the cans during shipping, (almost no dents in the thicker skirts), and that can easily be a 25fps difference. Use the best pellets,---and get rid of that factor.
The new Gamo magnum Gen3i looks like a great gun. Two things I'm hoping for, that Gamo is releasing the Magnum also with the new non-thumbhole stock. It's looks very cool on the Gen3i Speedster. Would be great if they bring that stock as an option to this rifle. Secondly, they bring the .25 caliber option to the 10x rifles as well.
I like the thumb hole stock because of the way I developed my springer shooting. Basically, I don't want to touch the gun, and try to squeeze the trigger,--with out moving the gun. I find I get my best long range shots when the gun weight is just resting on my forehand, and the crotch of my thumb and finger. Get the butt stock force off your shoulder and cheek before you shoot, and you just gained 20 yards on the 1" groups, (if everything else is good). :)
Nicely brought into a holiday atmosphere and you have to ask your boss a surplus for that hard work! Too bad no open sights now. On Gamo usa they write that the magazine can only be used with the gen3i. On a Spanish website they speak that it is compatible with the gen2. If so, you're better off with a gen2 along with the new inertia magazine. Would love to know the truth about that.
I been testing mine out and yeah I used the blue bombers and it’s pretty much the same as red fires and they are so inconsistent. I love the hunter extremes so far. Thursday I’ll have the hades and the exact jumbos in I’m going to be testing those.
@@airgunangie17 yeah I know but shoot 20 rounds and you’ll see. It’s so weird I can shoot a 1” group 3 rounds then the forth or 5th be a flyer like the one you thought went into the same whole but in fact was way off target lol. I just find them inconsistent in my opinion.
I don’t mean to be coming off as a butt hole lol if I am I’m sorry I really did love the video. But I do have a quick question how in depth do you go on these guns? Like do you do different types of modifications and see how they work? Like I seen you did a trigger pull and all and I don’t have one of those and the fps machine I wondered if you did like if others had certain modifications would you do videos on that? Just curious
I suggest when testing a gun that you use the best pellets for the longest ranges, (up to 75 yards is respectable and needed). IMO, that would be the H&N pellets, (16-18grn for this gun). I have never had polymags fly well past about 40 yards, and that is the distance I like to sight my gun in at. I am sure Gamo wants you to do promotions with their pellets,---but they really don't show the capabilities of the gun in many tests, and neither do testers who shoot only 25 yards. (did not see you shoot yet. I hope you go further. haha).
My gamo scope started loosing zero so I mounted a 308 rated picatinny adapter and a sig romeo 5 optic , other than the air rifle itself I'm done with air rifle $h1+ all high caliber name brand stuff now I'm done going through scopes and mounts and what not let's hope this new setup works out
I just ordered this model and should be here Friday. Why are you calling it a springer? I thought it said gas. I’m new to air. Also I was told to get Gamo Rocket pellets. Do you like those? Thanks.
Thanks for the video , your gun is pretty strong I have the same one I get only 907 fps w same gamo pellets you used in this video , what is the elevation of your city? Are you at see level
@@airgunangie17 I had the hatsan .30 cal, and that big barrel diameter really eats up the air. I can see a .25 being a nice hitting gun from this cylinder. I am spoiled by this great trajectory with the .22 though. From 40 to 64 yards I use only 1 mil dot, (one every 25 yards). The old hatsan, 3 or 4 dots, one about every 8 yards.
I noticed you don’t have information on how to calibrate the scope if is not dead centered also is it normal for them to be off a few inches from the center when hitting the target Or does it change depending on how far you are aiming at. ?
Angie....you didn't have your forward hand in the same spot when shooting off hand. Your forward hand was holding the air rifle farther back when you shot off hand.
Does Gamo have a Swarm 10x gen 2 .22 that stops you from reloading while there is a round already loaded? I was looking for a gen 2 with an option to use open sights. Appreciate your insight.
I'm gonna wait until you get the bugs worked out! Generation Two I have been reading is better? Why? Produce something great everybody in the break barrel field wants! I'm a huge break barrel person! I will wait until next year?
It is light. It makes 28-29 FPE. It is very accurate in the right hands, (with a good scope, an 80 yard head shot gun really). The barrel locks up perfectly, no side to side or up and own movement when locked up, and the magazine works pretty well. If you want a mag .22, I don't know what you are waiting for. You need to be a better shot than anybody on YT to out shoot me with my Gen 2, and I am sure I can do the same with the Gen3. It is a good gun now. But wait if you want. No matter what,---the prices are going up.
Id recommend the 22 maxxim mine puts 7 of 10 in the same hole at 20 yards . easier to cock and a tad bit better grouping than a magnum gone thru every gamo scope with every one of the rifles I have and a couple of Simmons I found pinty to be the most reliable scope to hold up to The recoil of the Magnum. excellent air rifles very effective and accurate. You can hit 1500 ft per second with the Magnum with five drops of three and one household oil however I wouldn't recommend it it gets very loud turns out it's considered a firearm if you do that check with your local law enforcement before hunting with it off property the prey liston these guns is not secluded to small game animals I had in a raccoon being aggressive in my front yard I did not expect it to follow through and leave a giant dent in my barbecue grill after going through the Coon but dropped it where it stood on a very large raccoon. The Magnum can drop mid-sized hog as well I wouldn't put it past dropping deer or gator not much of a deer hunter myself so I'll leave it up to those who know
After trashing a half dozen scopes, (I was shooting a lot, but some did not take a lot.), I broke down and paid 5.5 bills for a little Leupold 33mm 3-9 optical adjust 8oz freedom series scope----with a lifetime warranty. Stock was 3.3 bills, but I had them put a mill dot reticle in in for 2.25 bill more, trusting they will honor the warranty. 4000 plus shots later from this mag springer (and a hatsan 30.cal springer), they fixed it totally. Great little scope for mag airguns,---as long as they fix it again. :)
I call that a "loaded pellet". They can be hard on the piston seal, (especially if any oil gets into the compression chamber,--turning it into a combustion chamber.), and it would be hard to make them all the same, so they would not be very accurate for hunting, (sans pretty close I could bet). IMO, it is not any more useful than for a neat science project. No way with big game. Small game to 80 yards is pushing it for the .22 here. Not only hard to hit, (but can get good at it), but the little .22 pellet loses a lot of energy stretching out that far.
It's the same Power plant, 4 years ago. With just the magazine system updated. It's the same IMO. Trigger has a long roll which stinks. But the accuracy is still the same as the previous models. The bone collector G2 is much better . So good, I sold my Magnum and THE BCG2 IS WAY BETTER. the grouping easily 1 inch @50 yRds compared to the Magnum which is about 1.5 inches no matter how you shoot it.
I have the magnum shooting 1" at 63 yards, and not on a bag, (It is a good door jam position I have though, but can do the same from a tree branch or the such.). I put a 2mm longer little trigger screw in it, and it has a very short trigger pull now, (but still just as much force needed). That was a 30 cent mod from a local hardware store. More power can make a springer harder to shoot accurately, but I think I figured it out, and it works for any springer. Try not to touch the gun, basically. Let it shake naturally. Even your cheek and shoulder will buffer the natural gun vibrations, so the muzzle will be in a bit different spot when the pellet leaves it. I already just let the gun rest on my hands, but now I push the gun away from my cheek and shoulder, (just barely touch for some stability) before i pull the trigger, and I was able to stretch 1" groups out another 20 yards basically. I hold the gun so lightly, I had to fix the trigger a bit, (I have shot much worse triggers than this, and got 1" groups to 70 yards. That crap will make you a good shot, haha), because just pulling it smoothly moves the gun. But that muzzle will be in the same spot for every shot. I find when I miss, I realize I forgot to move it from my shoulder/cheek,--or I need another new scope. :) Give it a try. I have taken squirrels with head shot to 80 yards, when I am shooting well. :).
@@airgunangie17 At the end of the day you can call it whatever you want ma’am I was just simply confused because I ordered it and when you said Springer I thought that they had ditched the gas cylinders and went back to Springers no disrespect have a good one🇺🇸
Yea, that was a mistake. I can't stand using open sights, but this is a magnum scope eater, and it is nice to be able to shoot when you scope breaks. Plus, when a scope breaks, it can be hard to determine if that is the problem as your groups get wide. You can shoot a 20 yard group, (as far as I can shoot decently with the open sights), with the scope and the open sights, and if the scope group is bigger,--it is probably a broke scope.
So many variables with pellets expect to find a wide range of accuracy on them. Find one or two that work and stick with them....but you can light matches with the right stuff.
I have been trying to get a better scope for my Gamo .22 G2 Maxim gun. I wanted one that has a focus control on it. I wanted to keep the 40mm type. Gamo suggested two scopes. The first one had a metal bump on the bottom which didn't fit the mount. The other was too long. When mounted it would not let me cock the gun. I ended up going back to the original scope. I want a scope that fits the 11mm rail that has the pin in it. Any suggestions?
The Hawke Advantage scopes work well on my break barrels and very affordable (I like the 4-12x40 AO... about $160). Currently on my RWS 350 ntec magnum...no problems.
@@rickrazz7136 Will it mount on the existing rail and clamps? If it does it should not slide backwards when you fire it. The existing rails have a 'stop' pin that locks the rails down. Another thing will the original lens caps work after mounting the Hawke Advantage Scope?
@@dhansel4835 sell it all an save up for an Air Arms TX model under lever or an Weihrauch hw97 or something. Gamos pin stop hole is defective on their rifles. It is an oval shape instead of a circle hole which is a very bad design. There's no pin stop circle in the world that fits an elongated oval shape hole! The scopes will constantly move and tear up the scope rail pin stop hole after a few hundred shots! If you research professional UTubers about Gamo breaker barrels you'll see I'm 💯. I gave up on Gamo over a decade ago and the hype with em. Do yourself a favor. you'll be happier knowing the truth about their billion dollar scamming Business!
Your channel name "Gateway to airguns" is catchy. But if you think about it, what can that be? "The gateway to air guns" has to be a straw with a spit wad in it. On yea, you remember. It was the only "shooting" we ever saw in a HS back in the civil days of the USA.
Everyone wants accuracy....but frankly how good can any one person shoot off hand? From the old daz of shooting my crossman pistol with iron sites that completely covered a chipmonk head at 20 feet....this is a step up pellet gun. My only cons are that the instructions are written on bubble gun size paper...break out the magnifying glass and detail info is short on as are the diagrams for adjusting the trigger. Also putting one tiny instruction manual in with the purchase for multiple weapons is well.....definitely a "come on fellas..." moment. Even my $20 coffee maker had better details in the box and specific to that coffee potter. And speaking of box....the packaging on these is as sorry as it gets....mine was shipped and the Styrofoam was battered as was the gun when it arrived left to bang around against the included and separately wrapped scope. Finally, cleaning this beast is not easy. You have to hammer out a couple of plastic pins to get the auto loader out of the way so you can bore clean the weapon which means frankly, it won't get cleaned as often as it should. For a $200+ pellet gun, I think that GAMMO can do better...what do you think???
I wish I could shoot in my backyard still. The city i live in changed the law and passed a city ordinance that makes that illegal. Pretty soon they'll consider them firearms even though they are not. Well I'm trying to fight the city on this but so far Noone in my neighborhood wants to sign any petitions
🎶Deal Breaker Can't takerrr Bringin me Downnn! Yet another pellet gun manufacturer locating the safety lever in the Exact Wrong place. It isn't the same as locating the side stand on a bike too far to the back. It's a Gun . Next the governments will be legislating restrictions.
True. So become a better mag springer shooter. You almost have it down. :) I developed my own technique, and it works for any springer to 70 yards for me on 1" targets. Basically, don't touch the gun, even with your cheek and shoulder. If you can pull the trigger tiwh out touching the gun, (just resting in my hands), you will add 20 yards to your 1" groups with any springer that is working properly.
Notice how you talk to people? With attitude and disrespect, and a vulgar slang. And yet you read verses from the Bible and preach ! You don’t believe the man , fine but don’t be hostile disrespectful !!!@@springpistonriflefeverlone9611
I think the gun is too big for you. Cocking is also a struggle for you. Mmmm so maybe it’s more for a bigger stronger shooter. So the real question is what’s the best performing GAMO for smaller women shooter? As Confucius once said “you do not need a cannon to kill a mosquito.”
Gamo requires you have a Federal Firearms License before they sell you parts to repair your Gamo. Why is it these PAID professional reviewers never mention that when reviewing this Gamo garbage? If you like rifles with 4 lb triggers that feel like dragging a nail across concrete, the Gamo is for you!
I bet I can out shoot you with any other break barrel with this gun to 100 yards. But yea, that is a stupid wussie lawyer recommendation in Spain. I think they have a list of dealers with a fire arms license who will get you parts, but you will not find a local one to do the new paperwork and do it. It makes absolutely no sense to sell the gun freely, and the parts through red tape that is not necessary by law even. If they are worried about people working on their own guns---send some damn directions with it. I blew a piston seal in my first one, and just bought a 2nd gun to avoid the hassle.
By the way, a 2mm longer screw behind the trigger shortens the throw to a smidge. Still a bit heavy for the way I hold the gun, (I try not to touch it at all), but it is much better than my .233 AR15.
Thank you for this well-done review. There was no loud rock music, no quips. And you tested exactly what I wanted to see about this particular gun.
The cocking effort face is priceless! Great as usual Angie, Thank you!
😉😊
Thank you for your hard work. Cocking this rifle is hard, but you did swimmingly. The video is spot-on in all categories. It is always a true pleasure to view your excellent work.
Thank you!
Gamo should Make an Urban Magnum in .25 caliber.
They made a break barrel .25. It's only available on the GamoUSA site. Called GR Magnum. Says 1000fps with alloy

When a child says "I can't do it", (and you know it can be done), I tell the child, sure you can, you just have not done it yet. This child figured it out.

They can be hard on the piston seal, (especially if any oil gets into the compression chamber,--turning it into a combustion chamber.), and it would be hard to make them all the same, so they would not be very accurate for hunting, (sans pretty close I could bet). IMO, it is not any more useful than for a neat science project. No way with big game. Small game to 80 yards is pushing it for the .22 here. Not only hard to hit, (but can get good at it), but the little .22 pellet loses a lot of energy stretching out that far.
It's the same Power plant, 4 years ago. With just the magazine system updated. It's the same IMO. Trigger has a long roll which stinks. But the accuracy is still the same as the previous models. The bone collector G2 is much better . So good, I sold my Magnum and THE BCG2 IS WAY BETTER. the grouping easily 1 inch @50 yRds compared to the Magnum which is about 1.5 inches no matter how you shoot it.
I have the magnum shooting 1" at 63 yards, and not on a bag, (It is a good door jam position I have though, but can do the same from a tree branch or the such.). I put a 2mm longer little trigger screw in it, and it has a very short trigger pull now, (but still just as much force needed). That was a 30 cent mod from a local hardware store.
More power can make a springer harder to shoot accurately, but I think I figured it out, and it works for any springer. Try not to touch the gun, basically. Let it shake naturally. Even your cheek and shoulder will buffer the natural gun vibrations, so the muzzle will be in a bit different spot when the pellet leaves it. I already just let the gun rest on my hands, but now I push the gun away from my cheek and shoulder, (just barely touch for some stability) before i pull the trigger, and I was able to stretch 1" groups out another 20 yards basically. I hold the gun so lightly, I had to fix the trigger a bit, (I have shot much worse triggers than this, and got 1" groups to 70 yards. That crap will make you a good shot, haha), because just pulling it smoothly moves the gun. But that muzzle will be in the same spot for every shot. I find when I miss, I realize I forgot to move it from my shoulder/cheek,--or I need another new scope. :) Give it a try. I have taken squirrels with head shot to 80 yards, when I am shooting well. :).
Long barrels are not as rigid as shorter barrels, however longer barrels will steady easier than short barrels.
👍👍
Is it basically too powerful to shoot .177?
Hello what was the price
I've got 4 gamo air rifle but I can't get the gamo magnum in England
She keeps calling it a Magnum Springer so I’m wondering did I miss something because I always thought it was(33mm cylinder gas tube) gas.
The piston is called a gas piston spring. Apparently spring is defined as a mechanical device under pressure.
I could call it a gasser, is that better?
@@airgunangie17 At the end of the day you can call it whatever you want ma’am I was just simply confused because I ordered it and when you said Springer I thought that they had ditched the gas cylinders and went back to Springers no disrespect have a good one🇺🇸
@@drodriguez3935 thank ya! Sorry for the confusion 😊
@@jwate Correct. A spring does not have to be a metal coil spring. They are just the most common. It is a "gas spring".
Sweet 👍 just wish it had open sights.
Yea, that was a mistake. I can't stand using open sights, but this is a magnum scope eater, and it is nice to be able to shoot when you scope breaks. Plus, when a scope breaks, it can be hard to determine if that is the problem as your groups get wide. You can shoot a 20 yard group, (as far as I can shoot decently with the open sights), with the scope and the open sights, and if the scope group is bigger,--it is probably a broke scope.
Will this gamo air rifle 22 caliber pellet rifle will kill a snake
If you break the gun in with a cheap pellets does everything change when switching to the pellet you want to use in it?
So many variables with pellets expect to find a wide range of accuracy on them. Find one or two that work and stick with them....but you can light matches with the right stuff.
@@edwinschwank2446 my dad said he use to light matches with a .22 back in the 40’s
Can you tell me where to go to get a Trigger (Kit) ? I saw one of the videos that said they were about 10-15 dollars for the kits. ?????
Airgun detective on UA-cam sells them.
👍😲
Thanks Angie but that pellet gun is beast to cock . Better late then never
Mam i bought this gun and I'm 70 years old and 6 feet tall. Its kinda hard for me too.
11:43 man is the barrel the cause of that shaking
I have been trying to get a better scope for my Gamo .22 G2 Maxim gun. I wanted one that has a focus control on it.
I wanted to keep the 40mm type. Gamo suggested two scopes. The first one had a metal bump on the bottom which didn't
fit the mount. The other was too long. When mounted it would not let me cock the gun.
I ended up going back to the original scope. I want a scope that fits the 11mm rail that has the pin in it.
Any suggestions?
The Hawke Advantage scopes work well on my break barrels and very affordable (I like the 4-12x40 AO... about $160). Currently on my RWS 350 ntec magnum...no problems.
@@rickrazz7136 Will it mount on the existing rail and clamps?
If it does it should not slide backwards when you fire it.
The existing rails have a 'stop' pin that locks the rails down.
Another thing will the original lens caps work after mounting the Hawke Advantage Scope?
@@dhansel4835 sell it all an save up for an Air Arms TX model under lever or an Weihrauch hw97 or something. Gamos pin stop hole is defective on their rifles. It is an oval shape instead of a circle hole which is a very bad design. There's no pin stop circle in the world that fits an elongated oval shape hole! The scopes will constantly move and tear up the scope rail pin stop hole after a few hundred shots! If you research professional UTubers about Gamo breaker barrels you'll see I'm 💯. I gave up on Gamo over a decade ago and the hype with em. Do yourself a favor. you'll be happier knowing the truth about their billion dollar scamming Business!
what is the logic in making a slim magazine design without iron sights
I'm not sure, they should have kept the iron sights for sure.
Better cheek weld plus the closer scope is to bore the better
that rifle is way more accurate than in the video. just my personal experience of course
So true.. my gamo is more accurate at 50 to 60 yds than at 25 0r 30. ..help
How much gamo swarm Magnum.22 cal
Is there anyone who has shot This Gun And Diana 350 Magnum or Diana ar8 and tell me which one is more accurate?
Why don't you use 9 grain pba?
All show and no go. They may make a cool pop, but they are the most worthless pellets for any kind of shooting.
I love that you can cock this air rifle. Not many women will be able to do this. It does get a little easier after about 200 times. Good shooting.
Algien kemepueda traducir i desirme de cuántos greins o gramos son esos diablos ke uso eya
The green band means that it's a .22 cal not that it's suitable for hunting.
Your channel name "Gateway to airguns" is catchy.
But if you think about it, what can that be? "The gateway to air guns" has to be a straw with a spit wad in it. On yea, you remember. It was the only "shooting" we ever saw in a HS back in the civil days of the USA.
Green means .22
177 gen 3i fps 1650 lead free 1250 with lead
Dillon killed a 40 pound yote,with a cheap ruger from Walmart?a squirrel at 50 yds is nothing!
Everyone wants accuracy....but frankly how good can any one person shoot off hand? From the old daz of shooting my crossman pistol with iron sites that completely covered a chipmonk head at 20 feet....this is a step up pellet gun.
My only cons are that the instructions are written on bubble gun size paper...break out the magnifying glass and detail info is short on as are the diagrams for adjusting the trigger. Also putting one tiny instruction manual in with the purchase for multiple weapons is well.....definitely a "come on fellas..." moment. Even my $20 coffee maker had better details in the box and specific to that coffee potter. And speaking of box....the packaging on these is as sorry as it gets....mine was shipped and the Styrofoam was battered as was the gun when it arrived left to bang around against the included and separately wrapped scope. Finally, cleaning this beast is not easy. You have to hammer out a couple of plastic pins to get the auto loader out of the way so you can bore clean the weapon which means frankly, it won't get cleaned as often as it should. For a $200+ pellet gun, I think that GAMMO can do better...what do you think???
The gun in the video is the gen 2…
Cons. trigger and safety are plastic, cant use without the scope and the scope is standard for long range noting to gage the wind.
You mean you’re shooting better at 50 yds
I wish I could shoot in my backyard still. The city i live in changed the law and passed a city ordinance that makes that illegal. Pretty soon they'll consider them firearms even though they are not. Well I'm trying to fight the city on this but so far Noone in my neighborhood wants to sign any petitions
Super sad 😏😔
Move to a rural area. That city does not deserve you our your taxes.
@@EarthSurferUSA I'm saving up to buy some land just for that reason, out of the city and away from the BS. 120 ACRES is what I'm saving for
🎶Deal Breaker
Can't takerrr
Bringin me Downnn!
Yet another pellet gun manufacturer locating the safety lever in the
Exact Wrong
place.
It isn't the same as locating the side stand on a bike too far to the back. It's a Gun .
Next the governments will be legislating restrictions.
Power is useless without accuracy.
True. So become a better mag springer shooter. You almost have it down. :)
I developed my own technique, and it works for any springer to 70 yards for me on 1" targets. Basically, don't touch the gun, even with your cheek and shoulder. If you can pull the trigger tiwh out touching the gun, (just resting in my hands), you will add 20 yards to your 1" groups with any springer that is working properly.
Correction: If you can pull the trigger with out "moving" the gun, (because you are barely holding it.)-------
@@EarthSurferUSA Talk is cheap. If it's not on video, I will roll up my pants 👖 because the crap is getting deep.
Notice how you talk to people?
With attitude and disrespect, and a vulgar slang.
And yet you read verses from the Bible and preach !
You don’t believe the man , fine but don’t be hostile disrespectful !!!@@springpistonriflefeverlone9611
I think the gun is too big for you. Cocking is also a struggle for you. Mmmm so maybe it’s more for a bigger stronger shooter. So the real question is what’s the best performing GAMO for smaller women shooter? As Confucius once said “you do not need a cannon to kill a mosquito.”
Gamo requires you have a Federal Firearms License before they sell you parts to repair your Gamo. Why is it these PAID professional reviewers never mention that when reviewing this Gamo garbage? If you like rifles with 4 lb triggers that feel like dragging a nail across concrete, the Gamo is for you!
I bet I can out shoot you with any other break barrel with this gun to 100 yards. But yea, that is a stupid wussie lawyer recommendation in Spain. I think they have a list of dealers with a fire arms license who will get you parts, but you will not find a local one to do the new paperwork and do it. It makes absolutely no sense to sell the gun freely, and the parts through red tape that is not necessary by law even. If they are worried about people working on their own guns---send some damn directions with it.
I blew a piston seal in my first one, and just bought a 2nd gun to avoid the hassle.
By the way, a 2mm longer screw behind the trigger shortens the throw to a smidge. Still a bit heavy for the way I hold the gun, (I try not to touch it at all), but it is much better than my .233 AR15.
The new gamo x10 rifles are terrible. Plastic like quality, almost toy like. Steer clear
1:56 its IGT GAS PISTON NOT A SPRING 😂 LERN BEFORE YOU TALK
Perhaps you should learn how to spell before you type
It also helps to learn how to spell before one types
😂😂😂💪💪💪💪@@dougrose7334
No one is perfect chill bro
Do your research next time, this isn't a springer, has IGT Piston.
👍👍👍
