Gamo Swarm MAXXIM .177 VS Gamo Swarm MAXXIM .22 - Side By Side Comparison

[@gladegoodrich2297]

Love my 10 shot Gamo Swarm. First bought a Umerex Octane nitro piston? After 50 shots the gas leaked out and it wouldent shoot any more. Took back to Cabela and they told me to call Umarex. Called and they said probably couldent help me. If I wanted to take it apart and ship it to them they would look at it. Put it in the corner and bought a Gamo. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. BUY THE GAMO!!!!

[@tomblount5635]

I purchased this sir rifle for fun shooting. I installed a 22 cal rifle scope on it. I could not get good groups. I replaced it with a 3X9 variable air force scope. After locking it down and shooting groups I zeroed it at 35 yards. It drives tacks with the gamo red 17 7 pellets. I can knock the heads off sparrows at 35 yds. At 50 yards I'm penetrating slider shells. I am very impressed with this air rifle. It is very accurate!! 😍

[@kaylamarie8309]

You're not missing with the .177, the pellets are falling out of the mag and you're shooting air. I've learned to hear the difference. I have both the .22 and the .177 swarm Maxxims as well and I have this same issue with the .177. Gamo even sent me a replacement 10X system for mine which I put on the gun and the same thing persists. The plunger in the reloader seems to be just a bit too short to seat the pellet fully into the .177's breach. I actually have a customer support entry with Gamo as of today about this and I'm waiting for them to reply to me. Look around and you'll find mashed up pellets on the ground that were crushed between the barrel breach and the rear portion of the rifle. Great video

[@davidgiles9751]

Is that just an issue with the .177 model? I'm looking into buying a Swarm Fusion 10x Gen 2 in .22 cal.

[@kaylamarie8309]

@Isaac Yoo Maybe..I just know I had issues with mine like that. My .22 swarm is fine. I still have the .177 Swarm so maybe I'll come up with something. There's probably a certain pellet that will work well in it.

[@badmoonrising209]

@Rolly101 177 are lighter pellets so the are faster and the 22 cal is heavier so it is slower, but at the same time it the 22 does alot more damage

[@MrPolleyr]

Really enjoyed your comparison. I’ve been trying to decide on wether to get the .177, or the .22 cal rifle. I was impressed with the accuracy of the 22 cal. Probably the slower velocity helps with that, plus it’s a bit lighter to handle. I do have some critters around my property, so I think the 22 will be the one for me. Thank you, this really helped.

[@jaakkooksa5374]

Some pellets have extremely poor accuracy in my 4.5mm Gamo, the pellets might easily go 10cm off the target at 30 meters, while others are just fine. The ones that I have tried and which work well in my Gamo are Gamo Match Classic and Gamo Pro Magnum. Both are very inexpensive pellets, about one euro cent (or dollar cent) per each.

[@timmsmiithgm557]

Cool to see how much fun you were having. Thanks for sharing. The reason for the first sub-800 shot with the .177 is that it might have a leak - you did talk a bit longer before firing that first shot than the others.

I wonder if sub-12 ft lbs guns (UK limit) are always more accurate. I have lower power airguns (Weihrauch, Gamo, BSA, Walther, Air Arms in .177, .20, .22 & .25) that will connect at 50 yards far more accurately than the US spec air rifles reviewed here.

[@jamesb1988]

I have both versions of the Maxxim Gen 2 Rifles, and they are both deadly accurate, especially the .177. I would recommend swapping out the Gamo scopes for Hawke AO 3-9x40 scopes, they are about 110 USD a piece, but they are far and away the best budget scope you can get. Also as far as the pellets, I would recommend either domed or hollowpoint for best accuracy.

[@milesstover3724]

if you get a magnum Gamo , id recommend not putting any variable magnification scopes on it. My 2 magnums have destroyed 4 scopes between them now. Ive switched over to fixed magnification scopes for those, and now it seems to be ok

[@chrishenning8829]

Im betting accuracy would be a bit better with JSB's or H&N pellets.

Considering a new Gamo over my existing one in .177. My shots need to be kill-shots for ground squirrels to limit suffering.

one thing must be considered and that is what type or brand of ammos you gonna use with .177 or .22. you gonna need to try several brands and will see that actually .177 may be better than the .22 in terms of accuracy and range as well as the kill.

I have the .177 caliber . It shoots the super cheap Winchester pellets (4.99 per 500 ) and loves them. My scope didn't last more than a hundred rounds if that ( the reticle was rotating ).

The .177 cal weighs 0.2 lbs more than the .22 cal because the barrel bore on the .177 cal is smaller, thus the barrel has more material. The .barrel on the 22 cal is bored out larger, and thus weighs less.

[@Joshua-gz3cp]

I don’t shoot a .177, but I’ve found heavier pellets just shoot more accurate. I don’t even mess with anything under 15 grains. I’ve got a tin of 14.3 grain pellets, and they don’t shoot near as well as the heavier pellets out of any of my pellet rifles.

[@milesstover3724]

177 is just a nightmare...i always try to sell myself on it, "oh it will fly farther, faster, etc" this kind of nonsense. in my opinion , other than very low power pellet pistols and guns where 177 might be appropriate, I just think 177 pellet is just obsolete. with .22, .25, .30, .35 and more pellet calibers, messing with 177 where you have no power, no dependable accuracy, no shot stability, I just cant understand why people would buy 177 over minimum .22 in pellet rifles these days

@@milesstover3724 I have NEVER liked .177 caliber air rifles, for the exact reasons you mentioned. The pellets are just too small and light to be constantly stable.

The weight difference is most likely the smaller hole in the .177, less metal removed from the same barrel.

The .177 barrel should have that much more metal in it on account of the smaller caliber. Y'all have a badass day 🤘

[@motorboater5099]

Great vid man, huge help.

[@stevengoberdhan8480]

I think similar weight pellets should be used when testing accuracy across the two calibres.

[@megastick9324]

Actually, to get good comparisons one should shoot the most common weights in each caliber. Stepping one way up or down to make the weights the same is a faulty comparison. The 22 shoots almost double the weight of the 177, that’s not a good comparison. Select pellets in the range normally used and compare accuracy of each. Comparing a .45 with a 230gr bullet to a 9mm that would shoot 115-147 gr and asking either to match up would be the same idea. One will be way out of its zone.

[@jimn1968]

I use Crossman pellets with the same .177 and I can shoot the narrow side of a key dangling from a string.at 30 yards consistently

[@dwindew]

I have the .177 and I've tried lashing the thing down to my Caldwell to minimize PRE-coil hoping for tighter groups and better accuracy, to NO avail. The pre-coil is just inherent with this type of discharge mechanism in the .177and nothing can be done about it. It looks like the "lighter" .22 doesn't exhibit the same issue though as your video comparison shows. I'm stuck with it being what it is. Maybe premium pellets would help but probably not much since the problem really seems to be the discharge mechanism and is a rifle problem, not the pellets. Thanks for the video.

@@CaptTurbo Hey, thanks for the reply. I am looking at getting an air rifle, but being in France, I am limited in power and models (especially since I do not have a hunting licence). I think I have finally decided on a 22, so now the search begins for a reasonably priced, good shooting one. As the "better half" has control over the finances, I am really limited :( All the Gamo models seem sooo similar that they are basically the same, yet so many people have different opinions on each and every one. I guess the search goes on. ;)

[@CaptTurbo]

@@_Andrew._ I think the magnum does stand out as being more powerful than the Maxxim but I have no doubt the Maxxim is plenty strong enough to take small game. The one thing that stands out to me about the Maxxim is that there are no fixed sites on it. You will need a scope or optics of some kind. I'm 60 years old now so I do better with optics anyway but a young person with sharper vision might well value open site capability. Good luck in your decision making. I don't think you can lose with any of them. Oh wait, the magnum does take some muscle to cock. I need to use both hands to do it.

Nice shooting Ben. With the engineering Gamo pulled off. Here is what I think should be Gamo's next engineering improvements!!! The best nitro piston air rifle Gamo could make with their existing technology would be called "The Gamo CFR Swarm Maxxim or Magnum. Gamo should take their under lever cocking CFR and engineer into this rifle a 10 shot magazine into it making a .177 and .22 calibers. The Gamo CFR has amazing feature in its stock and are incredible accurate because of their fixed barrels. These rifles will not suffer from barrel droop over time like all the break barrel rifles. also there would be no magazine interference with the sights on the rifle because the magazine and loading mechanisms would be internal.

Great video! Try Gamo BLACK CAT 1400 .22 . I am very satisfied with accuracy and great power.

[@bobswinehart3646]

Good video. Kept cathching myself holding my breath. Like i was shooting. .22 for the win. Gamo =great quality.

[@feminator100]

I thought GAMO has these rated at 1300 FPS. Why are you getting around 1/2 that speed?

[@ShootingGearReviews]

1300 FPS is with super light non led ammo. Besides 1300 fps in a break barrel is utterly useless because the pellet is not stable at that velocity. Slower speeds make them WAY more accurate. not too slow but not 1300 fps for sure. Also, FYI the high FPS claims made by the manufactures are just marketing hype to get people that dont know any better to buy the air rifle. Experienced airgunners know better ;)

[@section8austin469]

Thank you for the explanation! Any recommendations for a subsonic air rifle?

[@ShootingGearReviews]

I really like the Gamo Maxxim. If you want to get something with superior quality the new Sig ASP20 is something to consider for sure. It costs a little more but the quality and accuracy are awesome.

Weihrauch period

[@artofcards_tcg]

.177 does just fine with small animals like rabbits and such. My .177 happens to be more accurate than my 22. I hardly shoot my 22 anymore because the .177 does the job.

[@olomnopi3934]

how order to purchase Gamo swarm maxxim .22 air rifle? please

[@johnmcelroy8198]

Try the Crossman Premier hollow points in the .22

[@exmcairgunner]

Anyone have trouble with the magazine kicking out pellets instead of loading them? It happens to my .177 in the middle of the magazine. Usually only 2 or 3 pellets.

[@richarde1355]

Many a ground squirrel went to squirrel heaven via my BSA springer 177 back in the late 70’s. A LOT.

[@jdmbraceyourself695]

Another great video 👍 👌

[@ShootingGearReviews]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@windlestorm3236]

I bought the gamo swarm maxixim g2 .177 my dad gave me a pentax gameseeker 3-15x50 scope is this to much for a pellet gun? I had to move the scope to the very end of the thing is slide on to. Sorry new to guns.

[@dufferdude1205]

The gamo rocket works better for me than the redfires with a 22 whisper fusion. Not by much but better. I think the rocket likes higher velocity.

[@junviecasilao8009]

can i ask something who is better all the gamo...maxxim magnum or wisper.

[@richarde1355]

at 14:05 "the .177 cal is a better suited for those of you who want to shoot cans..." I grew up in NE Nevada, and shot/killed many ground squirrels with my piston .177. My BSA .177 did the job on those little guys.

[@mrbear1974]

What 22 pellet is recommended for groundhogs? Thx

[@russellcotter2491]

I ask this question everywhere and the responses are so varied it's confusing. If I want a scope to last as long as possible on my Breakbarrels Vantage .22 which broke a bugbuster and hammers block mount. How much $$ to you have to pay for reliability over time given the shock factor?

[@paolovitale9948]

Get a Diana bullseye zr recoiless scope mount

[@donpeer4477]

"Pigeon"! Hahaha! Thanks for keeping it real, man. Show things when they're good AND not so good. Much appreciated :)

[@anthonyware4033]

I have the .177 and i love it. Im using it to get rid of squirrels around my house. 1 shot and they are dead. The squirrels are destroying things and chewing up my gutters and trying to make a nest in my chimney.

[@gabepettinicchio7454]

Perhaps the weight difference & the .177 being a little heavier is because more steel material must be removed from the .22's larger diameter bore. Anyhow, wonderful job, as usual.

[@Double-xposure]

I just want to know if the transfer port size is same

[@scottmckay4369]

Is there still any troubles with the pellet feeding system on the .177 like they had at first ?

[@ShootingGearReviews]

I have not had any trouble.
