Gamo GX250

[@dannydevito361]

I have just bought this gun as a new beginning of my new hobby thanks to this video. These videos are so informative and so well kept non-biased and it’s so nice to hear a professional opinion with videos that are so well put together. Thank you AAR

[@kevinhowarth1813]

must admit that because of the review on the GX40 I ordered one from Vector air and in the last 4 years it has never let me down, keep up the good work Andy I enjoy your weekly revues

[@Kevin-mx1vi]

When I got my Coyote .177 I was getting about 140 shots per fill in total with a little over 100 in the sweet spot. It was putting out 10.4ft/lbs, so I raised the power to flatten the trajectory and I'm now getting 80+ shots in the sweet spot at 11.4ft/lbs with 9.57 grain pellets. I've also done the trigger mod with a longer adjusting screw. I use it for target shooting at the local range, shooting off a bag because I have an arthritic left wrist and can't shoot offhand any more. Groups are *always* sub 5p coin sized at 30 yards. I can't recommend the Coyote/GX 250 highly enough as a budget rifle.

[@kostazyruku421]

Hello kevin, i whant to purchase the gx 250 but i cant find anywhere the fps of it, can you help me with that info thanks

[@Kevin-mx1vi]

@@kostazyruku421 If you mean the velocity you can expect from each shot then in .177 it should be around 770 feet per second, or 11.4 foot/pounds. In .22 the power will be the same so maybe 600 feet per second.

[@johnrobson4230]

It’s always nice when you also mention the types of add on’s and prices of such, another excellent and informative video!🤗

[@geojohnson5613]

Thanks for the video! I'm from the US and so I own a Gamo Urban which is the same as your GX-40 but having more power at 22-24 fpe. I bought it in 2018 for pesting and it has been flawless, has not leaked a pound of air, and is super accurate. IMO, these PCPs are the best bang for the buck out there...and...being built in the UK, have very good quality as well.

theres also the gamo phox, which comes in a kit only which is a gamo GX40 cylinder with a shorter barrel. tis like a gx40 carbine

[@oldfartinthenight9201]

Thanks Andy. I'm still enjoying my GX40 package from VA, after taking up your recommendation and doing some homework. I can recommend the VA packages (budget permitting), the Hugo scope alone is worth the extra cost.

[@brorjordas1979]

Very nice! I remember the GX40 video. That video gave the GX40 a very good image of itself.. and this GX250 did not fall behind. I surely would not mind having one of these GXs. Seems to be very good rifles indeed. A big Thank You to Andy and crew once again for another very good video!

I do have the Virtus' airtank and an adapter to use it, when the time feels right.. But lately just tested some pellets. No really good results though - yet. The domed Gamo Hunter Impact pellets gave a few really dead-on bull shots at first - but the overall 30rd group was poor, with insane flyers. Norica Hammer domed pellets been best so far. Been shooting at 13-15 meters. Next up is my go-to 7gr RWS Club wadcutter pellets. And then maybe the Gamo Match pellets. Both RWS Club and Gamo Match wadcutters are great in my old co2 MCX rifle.. If these last mentioned two pellets ain't grouping well - then I'm gonna disassemble my Canebrake to clean and polish the barrel - and maybe check all the other internals as well... I did check the fps on my Canebrake once. I did get up over 600fps with it - and not with the lightest of lead pellets even. The hits on metal sounds so good!😁😁👍🏻

Just got the GX250 package and after a couple of minor issues (you’d think a Gamo pump would have the correct fittings for a Gamo rifle!), and zeroing in the Gamo scope, I’m impressed, and also discovering that an accurate air rifle will cut holes out of 10mm timber!

I visited vector air this morning with the idea of getting some advice and information. However,after watching this review i walked out with the vector air gx 250 kit. Unfortunately they didnt have the usual scope they supply😢...on the bright side i got a free upgrade to the same hugo you were using ..bonus😊

[@Andy-ow2cx]

Or pest control sat in a fixed (seated) position maybe, thanks for sharing, awesome as always.

[@davepearson2736]

Great review Andy . I bought a GX 40 after watching your review and you nailed it ! What a rifle it is , totally accurate time after time and after 12 months never had an issue.

[@stevenberry7968]

I now know what you mean by parallax issues. Just purchased the GX 250 for a great price of £360 all included, and first day of zeroing the scope could see massive parallax issues with the scope provided. Not an issue as this was a freebie with the moderator but i have already upgraded the scope to a hugo 6 x 24 x 50 and what a massive deference. The freebies are a good starter but now i see your point about purchasing the extras. Makes shooting so much more enjoyable.

[@Peterwuss]

@stevenberry7968 the Hugo scope doesn't seem to have AO. Do you find that a problem when shooting? Asking because I was always told, that AO is important.

[@jimhurley8071]

An excellent review and after careful consideration I have bitten the bullet and ordered the full kit, and as a first rifle at 61 I am looking forward to many hours of enjoyment. The only comment is the cost of other essential kit needed. Keep up the good work.

[@grahamronson2215]

Thanks Andy, another great review and another great gun by the looks of it, still loving my Gamo GX-40 thanks to you 😎

[@andycharles6641]

I bought a GX40 as my first gun as a Vector Air package with an upgraded Vector Optics scope for both for pest control and target work. It’s a great gun and accurate enough (bottle tops at 40 metres) but I’ve found the fixed comb irritating as it would take me a couple of shots to “climb into” the gun - so I’ve re-stocked it with a Coyote stock with the adjustable comb. This makes the gun much easier to pick up and fire and I’ve also found the the additional weight of the new stock moves the centre of balance back slightly towards the rear which I find easier as my rear hand (I shoot left and right) can keep the gun stable between shots more easily. I wonder if Gamo will produce a GX-145, the 40 with the Coyote stock !

[@tarmacdemon]

Good morning people. What a lovely peice of kit and that I mean all three . It was impressive grouping how many of you lot out there hold your breath when Andys taking a shot ? ......yes me included . All ways had a soft spot for the Gamo air guns still own a 70s El Gamo Magnum in .22 .

Good report that, but Gamo trigger!! i have owned a CF16 a CF20 and at the moment also a 440 all have that same trigger unit, a bit naff ,it spoils an otherwise decent rifle. As regards that BSA scope i have 4 of the 3-9x40 AO scopes in use, one on a HW77 ,one one a HW97 , one on a HW30 and one Hunter440 no problems,bright and recoil free, reccomended, excellent scopes and excellent value. Most air rifle and indeed rimfire County Benchrest comps are shot at 20 or 25yds.

The Gamo range! Coyote and GX are derived from the bsa Bucaneer, which was/is Export fac jobby... very accurate rifles which you can add a human or Lane reg.

[@chrissmith4068]

So would you say the only real difference between the GX-250 and the Coyote is the stock, with the Coyote stock being weighted more for better balance when standing shooting, but a heavier rifle overall?

[@JuiceBanger1]

what do you think of the .22 arrow pcp by gamo, i was in a shop holding one and was impressed with weight and ballance. i have a fac hatsan striker but am needing something for inside farmers sheds so may upgrade to the arrow

Clean shots. I am still shooting the old trusty Urban. This 250 is a slight upgrade. Nice looking PCP.

Very comprehensive review as always, Andy. The only thing you didn’t mention was the actual power output, as you said it was less powerful than the gx40. Please can you enlighten. Always enjoy your reviews as they are properly objective.

[@AAROnair]

During the review, I focused on the FPS as a more accurate comparison, but I did give the weight of the pellet, which would let you calculate the Ft-lbs.

i cant stop watching your videos, im looking to buy an air rifle and there is sooo much choice and they all seem pretty good. The Krall NP02 or 03 was one i was considering as there are a lot of very positive reviews but i do prefer the look of the GX40 as looks more like a rifle than an extended pistol. All of them would be a good choice but if you had to choose either the GX40 or NP02 which one would you go for. The other one i was considering was the ATA Airborne as its regulated but in same price bracket and the others are not regulated.

Love my GX40 but one quick question please. In a previous video (setting up a PCP) you stated that the GX40 max fill should be 200 bar regardless of the 232 on the rifle and I have stuck with that. In this video you talk about filling to 232 - just wondered what I should be using or is this example an FAC version. Many thanks for all your reviews.

[@AAROnair]

The official line is it will fill to 232 bar, but the best practice is to stick to 200 bar, I always use a max 200 bar fill. stay safe Andy

I’ve found with my GX40 that filling to 232 means the first two magazines are a little wayward then at 200 bar downwards you get about 50-60 very consistent shots, hence I now fill to 200 bar.

[@AAROnair]

Hi Kevin, This is not unusual and I have experienced it with several different rifles and scopes over the years, it often happens with dedicated long range rifles. it is simply a process of popping a shim into one of the mounts, I often use a small piece of black electrical tape, this is often enough to bring everything nicely lined up. if you bought this from Vector, then give Karl a bell if your still unsure.
