Gamo swarm Bone collector 10X Gen 3i shooting review!!

Shooting the Gamo swarm bone collector gen 3i in .22 cal multi shot mag.
This has the IGT system which is a gas piston not a spring as I mistakenly said in the beginning of the video. Just to clarify.
product links:

centerpoint scope: amzn.to/43RerdQ

[@BravoBassin]

So just a quick correction this is a IGT gas piston air rifle not a spring air rifle that was my mistake when I was doing my review so sorry about that still a great air rifle for the price.

[@castronly87]

Wow! I got that one, I didn't think itvwas that accurate but now I think I have to try different pellets like those jumbo's....👍👍👍

[@BravoBassin]

It is a very accurate rifle with the right pellet and using the right sensitivity hold for the rifle as well. Every pellet rifle out there has a certian kind of pellet and weight of pellet it likes so far mine loves the JSB 18.13 pellets I am sure there are others like H& N pellets that woudl work with the right weight as well but I had the JSB pellets already and they work great so no need to try anything else for me. Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions that I can help with I will do my best to answer them just rememet right pellet and right hold and right trigger pull and once you get thos 3 things down you will crush it. Also never bag rest a break barral air rifle as they do not shoot as accurate when you do that. always have your hand betewwn the bag and the rifle.

Oh my gosh you had a beautiful back yard, 👍.. free to shot all day long😊.. wow Gamo came out with Woodstock look very nice .. but I'm not a Gamo fan.. .. nice group at 25 yards Sir..Back in the day I had Gamo but accuracy is not what I like on Gamo, Sorry, it's my opinion.. I had HW30 .. and I really love it.. please view that riffle.

[@BravoBassin]

thanks I like my back yard as well and thanks for the comment. So I have several Weihrauch airlfes that I own and will be reviewing in the future. Such as the HW77k. HW97k, and the HW50 as well as the beeman R7 which is the american version o fthe hw30 but both are made in the same factory in germany they are really the same gun. I do plan on eventually buying the HW30 as well in .22 cal so i will be doing a review on that down the road once I can afford to buy it. So yes Sevveeral high end Weiharauch air rifles are in my list of videos to be making and Just FYI they are my favorite air rifle in the world as well nothing can campair to them in my opinion. I have just been trying to knock out a few of the more budget friendlt one first because most cannot afford the Weihrauch air rifles. But yes those reviews will be coming.

[@bolts-wagon8005]

The accuracy on gamo has come a long way over the years. My brother had a gamo probably 10 years ago and the barrel would flop open after each shot and the accuracy was terrible (couldn’t hit a pie plate at 10yrds). I recently bought a gamo whisper and I can hit a penny 9 out of 10 times at 35yrds. You can’t ask for anything better than that for $150.

[@BravoBassin]

@@bolts-wagon8005 thanks for the great comment and ya Gamo has come a long way for sure. But I will say this I have a Gamo Varmit hunter I bought back in 2012 and it was and still is a tack driver at 30yds. THe biggest thing with break berral air rifles is one finsing the right pellet to shoot and they all seem to like one certian one the best. NAd 2 always check your stock screws and the screws by the trigger and make sure there tight. then the last thing is your hold getting the hold right and trigger squeeze will increase you accuracy 100%. The older gamo's were a lot more violent in there recoil and vreated and heck of alot more shock and jump. I will be making a video about my old gamo comin gup sometime this year to talk about how far they have come since I bought it. anyway thanks for watching as well.

[@malcolmpayne9517]

Nice review!!! You should review the Gamo Hunter Extreme in .25 caliber.

[@BravoBassin]

thanks for the comment appreciate it. And I will say if gamo or someone else wants to send me the hunter extreme to review then I would be happy to do it but other then that I really have no desire to buy one myself because for the price I would rather spend just a little more money and get another weihrauch instead. Thanks for watching the channel I really do appreciate it.

@@malcolmpayne9517 Ya I have no doubt it probably is a pretty decent rifle and I woul dnot mind checking one out but like I said foor the price I would rather just buy a weihrauch. I actaully just got the Weihrauch 125year anniversary limited addition HW50s in .22 cal and it I am currently working on some videos with it right now. It is a beautiful air rifle with a red laminite stock and it shoots great like all my weihrauchs do. So I will hav a few videso on the way with that rifle soon.

awsome and ya I love mine as well gamo make some great budget friendly spring air rifles that are tack drivers and well suited for target shooting or hunting. I have an original gamo varmit air rifle in .22 that I have had since 2014 and it is still going strong and a tack driver! thanks for watching the channel and your comment.

[@charlesoutdoors2424]

When you start with those JSB'S, anything else is just for fun. They keep pushing those gamo Red Fires. I will say they shoot about like Crosman Premiers Hollow at about 4 times the price, but they look cool.

[@BravoBassin]

thanks for the great comment and in my experiences with shooting air rifles JSB pellets have been tthe best abd most consitant brand I have ever used and work well in all my air rifles for the best accuracy. I will say that FX pellets work very good as well pretty much a JSB pellet with a different name. But ya I see them pushing those gamo red fires but I do not care how cool a pellet looks I cre about accuracy. And also I have zero sponsors to please as I pay for all my stuff myself so I just talk about and recommend what I like and what has worked for me.

[@charlesoutdoors2424]

yes, Those FX and Air Arms pellets are made from the same dies as the JSB's When JSB does an order for them they complete that order all one the same dies. That might even use the same die number each time for there orders. There's a great factory tour video of JSB dome a few years ago on KZbin. I do buy Air Arms and FX. Just whatever I can get at the best price.@@BravoBassin

[@joedokes8641]

I have 4 Gamo's the Accu underlever 22 , Hunter Extreme .177 gen 1 , the Magnum gen 2 in 22 , and the Maxxim .177 . I always seem to find myself grabbing a rifle that doesn't rely on air support either a multi-pump or break barrel . I do have pcp's as well but I often find them boring because they can hit the same hole all day long but depend on air to function . Break barrels are very hold sensitive but they can improve your shooting ability greatly. Recently purchased a Diana model 54 Air King Pro Laminate 22 and already sent it back for a full refund because of problems right out of the box . This is a 800.00 rifle ( REALLY ? ) . Before that I purchased a Dragonfly Mark 2 .177 and sent back for a replacement . Unit number 2 is awesome so far . I think quality control is lacking with some of these big website vendors . It should never happen . I see you shoot left handed and I do as well , but I can also shoot right handed . Its refreshing to see someone who doesn't rely on sponsors to send them any product they want. And no 2K FX in site WOW . 🤣😁👍.

[@BravoBassin]

thanks for the great comment. And I too own a few PCP air rifles but ya know FX ones at all as I think they are way over priced and there are plenty of more budget friendly air rifles out there that shoot just as good in my opinion. But I am a bigger fan of break barrel air rifles over the PCP air rifles as well and I prefer them over a PCP air rifle. I do own a few high end spring air rifles that I will be reviewing down the road as I have a few weihrauch and beeman air rifles and hands down are my favorite springers to shoot as well. But my budget friendly Gamo air rifles do pretty dang good as well. And ya I kinda try and stay away from the sponsor things as I like speaking my mind and telling the truth about a product that I review. So anything you see me shooting or reviewing I payed for out of my own pocket.

Nice shooting with that Springer out there to 30 and 35. I've never ever had any good luck with springers Or I guess someone said that's a gas Ram but pretty good shooting.

[@BravoBassin]

thanks for the comment and springers/gas ram air rifles take lots of practice to shoot well as well as understanding what thing syou need to maintain locj keeping the stock screws tight and shooting the right size and weight pellet. and also there hold sensitivity. But once you get that all down they are a blast to shoot extremely accurate adn will make you a way better shooter when shooting PCP or even powder burner guns due to they will make your technic way better. the other tirck is finding good spring rifles to shoot because there are some crappy ones out there but Gamo make some real nice budget friendly airi rifles but if you really want a great spring air rifle the you need to by a weichrach diana or beeman. which are all made in germany

Beautiful rifle.

[@BravoBassin]

thanks fo rthe comment ya the wood stocks on these air rifles are surpisingly really nice.

[@DrAgan_tortojed]

It's a beechwood. A good material, anyway. However, you are very much wrong about one thing: in relation with POWERFULL springers, plastic stock has 3 advantages over the wooden one, two of them being more important than the third one. These are: 1) plastic stock adheres to metal body (receiver) better, whereas the wooden one tends to vibrate more and to "run away" from metal; 2) for the same reason, plastic/polymer stock resonates less than wooden one thus the recoil gets more dampened/buffered/suppressed (that's why, usually, the screws that press the stock against the receiver get loosen on wooden stocks more often than on plastic); number 3 is general - wooden stocks are much more sensitive to humidity. Word of advice: if you have a choice within the same model of an airgun, one variant being with wooden stock and the other with plastic, if it's PCP/CO2, opt for wood, if it's a springer/gas ram choose the plastic variant. Good review. Thanx.

[@BravoBassin]

Well I will have to respectfully dis agree with you on the wood stocks over plastic stocks as I have found that wood stocks absorb the shock of the spring or gas ram way better then any plastic stock. and as far as screws backing out I have always had more issues with guns with plastic stocks backing out over and wood stock as well uless it is my weihrauch HW97K that is the only one that I love with a sythetic stocck on it. I will always take a wood stock on a springer over a sythetic stock any day of the week. Now with PCP air rifles I do not care actually prefer sythetic with them. But never with a springer. Not sure how you came to all those very bad kinda crazy conclusions in my opinion but we will have to agree to dis agree. thanks for watching the video as i do appreciate it and the comment.

[@DrAgan_tortojed]

@@BravoBassin OK, agreed to disagree. Though, if you want to really get deep into the matter, consult the technology experts and I guarantee they will confirm my words. The thing is: plastic (the kind that is used for stocks mostly) is more flexible than breech and/or nutwood/walnut wood, so, when hard-pressed against metal (or any other rigid material) it "follows" the line, so to speak, or, in other words is more "compliant", tends to stick to the metal, to stay "in a position" after being more or less bended by screws (pardon me if I'm too wordy, English is not my native language, thus I try to use different expressions trying to explain same views/ thoughts hoping I will be understood better).

[@BravoBassin]

@@DrAgan_tortojed Well first off in my experinece people that call themselves experts in anything are usually not an expert. Second I can only speak from my experience in my oen testing which why I ahv ethe conclusions I do which also comes from shooting air rifles for 44yrs now starting when I was a kid. And I awlays say in my videos I am no expert this is just what I have learned in my experiences and testing and that is all I can do. thanks again for watching the channel.

[@Paul-de1tr]

Which one is more acceptable, the DX or this one?

[@Paul-de1tr]

I meant accurate, sorry

[@BravoBassin]

@@Paul-de1tr As far as accuracy I will say that the DX has been shooting tighter groups then the bone collector but not by a lot. As far as power goes the Bone collector has a little more power behind the shot. Both are great air rifles in my opinion but you can get a better deal on the DX then the bone collector as well and in the end both will do the same job as far as small game hunting goes. Also the Dx is a lot lighter then the bone collector as well. But I do like and enjoy shooting both of them as well. Hope that helps and thanks for watching the channel and the question as well.

[@Paul-de1tr]

Would highly recommend the review of your Gamo Varmint. .22

[@BravoBassin]

@@Paul-de1tr well thanks and I will try and do that then. Just know it is an older version of the gun but still a great air rifle and still a tack driver as well.

[@BravoBassin]

@@Paul-de1tr well I will try and do that then. thanks for watching the channel. and I replied you your other message as well telling this as well.

[@Paul-de1tr]

Any updates on your bone collector? Have you tried the CPHP? I have the gamo whisper fusion machine 1 in 22, it loves CPHP, i am getting 1 1/2 -2 inch 10 shot groups with it. Let me know if, cause I am interested in the bone collector

[@Paul-de1tr]

I meant 1 1/2 inch 10 shot groups at 50 yards

[@BravoBassin]

So still enjoying my bone collector and still shooting JSB 18.13gr pellets I do not know what CPHP is or are? SO no I have not tried that or them? I have only shot it out to 40yds so far so I do not know what type of groups it will get at 50yds But with air guns like the bone collector I do not usually shoot at anything past 40yds as I use it for small game and pest control. I will say it is a little more hold sensitive then my gamo DX .22 which I really like as well. I just got the Gamo CFW underlever .22 and I have videos on the way of that rifle. if you are looking for longer range accuracy I would definitely recommend you checking the gamo CFX.22 out. only thing it is a single shot not a 10x. I just made a review video of it shooting with open sights and at 30yds it is impressive video will be out soon. Just got a new scope in for it as the gamo scopes are crap so next video will be with a scope on it and I will see how far I can shoot it accurately and how tight the groups will be out to 40yds and 50yds as well. Back to the bone collector it is a very nice air rifle and well made so it is one I would recommend as well and a great one to have in your air rifle collection and mine has put a good dent in my local pest population that is for sure!

[@Paul-de1tr]

CPHP=crosman premier hollow point, the cheap Walmart stuff, try it with the bone collector you may be surprised

[@BravoBassin]

@@Paul-de1tr I did test it with the crossman hollow points and the crossman dome they did not shoot well in it. I usually test all my air rifles with crossman,JSB, FX, and H&N pellets and out of those I usually find 1 or 2 that work great in them.

[@Paul-de1tr]

Oh, that’s not good

[@codysaenz5441]

Is the scope it came with bad?

[@BravoBassin]

well lets define bad does it work and will it get you by till yo can get a better scope sure it will do that. its has no mil dot no adjustable AO and after so many shots you will be re sighting it in. And after owning several Gamo air rifles and shooting them over the years and I love my gamo air rifle by the way I have just come to my own personal conclusion that the scopes they put in these bundles kinda suck! love the guns hate the scopes but that a is just me and my experiences with these scopes and guns. For me I always by either a UTG mil dot 3x9x40 AO or a Hawk mil dot 4x32AO or even a centerpoint mil dot 3x9x40 I am currently testing out a hatsan optima mil dot 3x9x40AO scope that runs $59 at bass pro shops and I decided to test it out because I bought a hatsan95 a few years ago and it has stayed true for years now so figured I would test one of there nicer scopes out and see how it goes. the UTG hunter mil dot scope which I have on my gamo DX is a 3X9X40mil dot no adjustable AO but for $69 it is a nice scope but I will be changing it out to a hawk 4x32AO mil dot down the road. Anyway what ever you do if you get another scope just make sure it is air gun rated or you will destroy it faster then it got shipped to you. Hope that helps.

All most people care about is does it shoot accurately and can it kill the critters I want to shoot with it. on top of the fact I know how to read and actually know how to use a computer to look up specs of the air rifles I want to buy so I have no need for a chronograph or a trigger pull tester to try and please assholes like you. But feel free to send me the money to buy one of each if you like. I do not need to know the exact pull weight of the trigger all I do is adjust it to my liking and start shooting.
