My 7 Best Shooting Tips For Gamo Air Rifles!

[@christopheritsdaperrperry2857]

I've just purchased a Gamo Wildcat Whisper for rats on the farm. I have been shooting rifles, handguns, and shotguns all of my life. I did not expect the learning curve involved in shooting a break barrel air rifle. I appreciate this video! I am confident that you are taking days if not weeks off of my education process, just by putting this information out there. Thank you!

[@kyori7k]

People gotta put respect on these

[@williamlong8655]

Great onfo

[@beastmode2990]

Dr.russ is honestly the best teacher on airguns on all airgun platforms he helped me alot during my starting days now im bringing game when i go hunting also pest control has become much more easier

[@YungVato714]

Do you approve the purchase of this rifle ?

[@christopheritsdaperrperry2857]

@@YungVato714 if I were to purchase a new pellet rifle I wouldn't choose a break barrel just because there is a learning curve. I would go with a more traditional style that I wouldn't have to relearn basics on to be accurate.

One little bitty thing that has helped me with some pellets is to "when you are shooting for burgers" is to make sure your pellets are round. One way to do that is to use a dapping tool.

Good ... consider watching all of my videos on accuracy and pellets in our channel because that Gamo is capable of hitting bullseyes out to 40 yards and hitting paper at 65 yards. Dont forget to use good heavy pellets and spray with some lube.... for consistency and power. Dr. Russ

Rapid reload is critical for myself with going after squirrels. They destroy my irrigation systems and dig up my orchard. I did a test with a friend to see how many times I could shoot a can about 20 yards away while he fired and then reload and fire again. I got 6 extra shots than his two.

Question: Do you know why Gamo won’t let you order a rifle without a scope? As you know, their scopes are low quality. I even asked them to install one of their upgraded scopes and let me pay the difference. They said I had buy the rifle remove the inferior scope, send the scope back, then they would send me the better quality scope. That doesn’t make any since to me. However, that is the ONLY way they will do it.

[@tominfoengnet]

I spent $20 on Amazon and purchased a 20g scale with .001 accuracy to weigh each pellet. You would be amazed at the huge variability in weight, especially with the Hatsan Vortex and Crosman Premium rounds. H&K has the tightest specs with almost a perfect bell curve, but amazingly they're all below the listed grain weight. I use a 7-day pill box to separate the rounds in .1 gr increments, so when I'm shooting I know I have a tight weight span.

[@drsrussandpaula]

Tom .. it is good to hear from you... another way to determine the difference in pellets is to check out the thickness of the pellet skirts ... a thin skirt is more likely to spread wider with air behind it ... trapping all of the compressed air behind it. Another with a bent skirt would be more likely to allow air to pass around it. Consider resizing your pellets with the proper resizing die... also consider using a pellet lube which helps pellets be more uniform in trapping air behind them.. Dr. Russ

[@MichaelSmith420fu]

I recently watched video with a dude who actually did the same thing and all the premier crossman's were really on point

[@phantomshtter]

The variability is in your $20 scale.😂

[@tominfoengnet]

@@phantomshtter And you would be wrong, because the scale comes with calibration weights that always come in right on the money. It wouldn't make sense that the scale always weighs the calibrators correctly, but somehow weighs the pellets incorrectly.

[@donaldpayne1376]

​Hi Tom I was taught by a scale testing lab to look for consistency. So take your test weight with clean tweezers and measure it 10x. if it reads correctly for all 10 tests then that's good enough.

Great advice! Washing is especially needed when it comes to chinese, no name pellets found of flea market. As for the open sight's sight picture, what you described is the exact reason why I hate most of the modern "fiber optics" (TruGlo and similar): typically, they are rounded, and the front one is usually too thick so they both (front one and the rear one) often cover ("mask") the target. I had never had such problem with the "old school" sights ("iron sights") mounted on any "traditional" airguns, carbines, rifles. Alas!, trendiness, fashion, glitter and glamor...

[@drsrussandpaula]

Emay Russell ... good to hear from you again. Those old springers are hard to forget. Keep in mind that you have leather washers in it ... in front of the spring that pushes the air out. After a dozen years ... they begin to fall apart ... especially if they had oil get to them.... I am guessing that your springer is going to quit on you sooner than later.

[@spinster4000]

My first airgun was a Gamo shadow whisper in .17, I loved it! It was fairly accurate at 30 yards with the H&N Terminators at 7.25 grams and held 1 inch to sub 1 inch groups at 30,35 and almost 40! It's a great gun and I got almost no complaints, except. The trigger. Its awful, another thing is how loud it is, springers are VERY loud (for air rifles) and on a DCB meter it measured 106.6 and my Ruger .22 with 710 fps CCI "quiets" measured 110.5. It's starting to fall apart a tiny bit and in general I'm just looking for an upgrade, I'm leaning towards PCP but I don't want to spend over 300 for an entire setup and the way its looking I might. I'm deciding between Diana Stormrider in .22 (with .17 its nice but not so great for hunting) or the UMAREX Gauntlet. Not sure how these guns are or if anybody would recommend them but looking for some assistance. Thanks!

Dr. Russ hello. I have to point something respectfully. In regards of the 10x Cartridge jamming on the Gamo Swarm Maxxim 10X 2G. You are right and wrong. Yes it jams sometimes when Low quality generic ammo is used, my mistake. I switched to Gamo, RWS or J & Bs. Never a Jam again. Use better AMO !!

[@drsrussandpaula]

Thank you for the tip Sergio M.... the real cause was brought to our attention in one of the comments ... and that was the fact that you can shoot most any ammo out of the Gamo Swarm family ... but you need to make sure that the black rubber retention band in the magazine nestles into the narrow waist line of the pellet ... and often this requires that you push some pellets in deeper with a ball point pen or whatever... thanks for sharing Sergio M ...

True ... thank you for sharing Wayne Price.... they are good pellets....Dr. Russ

[@chrisp.5272]

Wadcutters are awesome. RWS Meisterkugeln @ 14GR are my go to pellets. I started with a Gamo in .22 Caliber back in 2015, 5 years later and I’m slinging 750GR Amax’s from a Barrett M99A1 too!

[@portroyal8126]

Ok Dr Russ I have a new update on my maxxim .22 . Sadly after I was sighting it in before our night hunt going to reload another round it didn't cock back . The barrel only moved half way back and wouldn't reload . So since it's still under warranty I took it back for repairs and they say I'll find out in a week or so what's going to happen , fingers crossed it comes back good as new

[@drsrussandpaula]

Good.... keep us posted ... Dr. Russ

thanks for the tips im a now a new subscriber

[@airgundestruction2405]

These oils won’t cause dieseling ? I use chamber oil 100% silicone

[@drsrussandpaula]

The bullet lubes that I have suggested do not cause dieseling. I am not sure that silicone provides the desirable seal after it dries ... so I cant recommend that... I did hear from a viewer that uses Lemon Scented Pledge ... which is a thick wax and sounds like it might work ... I still recommend that users store their guns barrel down for a few days after using ... just to make sure that no lead crap falls down into the mechanism...

@@drsrussandpaula Thank you DR. Russ for the answer, I also have a you tube my You Tube Chanel and if you agree I will translate some of your lessons on my channel because lot of people don't understand English and this could be a good way to share your experience to them, of course I will always mention you in those video's.

[@drsrussandpaula]

@@alexlexonpanonianshooter Alex ... as long as you mention me and my youtube address ... please do...What country and or language do you use on your channel.... Dr. Russ

[@alexlexonpanonianshooter]

@@drsrussandpaula I'm from Serbia so I use Serbian language, same language with different dialects is spoken all over former Yugoslavia. Bosnia, Croatia, Montenegro and other former republics so they can also follow my channel and understand it very well. This is same as in USA. People from Texas, Louisiana, California, Wisconsin and other republics of United States are speaking same language but with different dialects and accents, same situation is with former Yugoslav republics. So conclusion is that about 23 million people can understand me if they don't understand English.

My game fusion didnt come with the three rubber rectangles in the stock removed...and I see yours doesnt have them. pros cons? looks like I can pop them out easy. Also My gun seems soooo much louder than in your video. does it ever get lower with use?

Good to hear from you Dogs and Coffee... please keep us in your air gun experiences info loop... Dr. Rus

[@terrybest8973]

That depends on the gun I have some springers that shoot better holding tight and others that need to be held lightly all the pros know this is only half of the break barrel models some hold tight some hold loosely

[@drsrussandpaula]

Terry Best ... it is good to hear from you ... this is new info to me concerning half of the Springers ... I have had a dozen in my life time ... maybe more ... I have 5 springers currently ... and they all grouped their BB's or Pellets better with a consistent loose hold .... I am sure that the consistent part is important because unlike a powder gun ... the ammo takes longer ... to go down the barrel ... and even a little difference in holding that air gun allows that barrel to move differently during this slower travel ... thus making the group larger.... Please stay in touch ... Dr. Russ

[@josephpeters2367]

Ty for sharing this video theres so much information to learn and you seem to know a lot

[@russjones6497]

Thanks Joseph Peters. yes the info is almost endless. Consider clicking onto the small circle with my photo and finding another video in our channel that discusses accuracy in greater detail than this one. Accuracy is perhaps my most important topic besides safety... Dr. Russ

[@josephpeters2367]

@@russjones6497 ty my goal is to get a large property similar to yours but as for now I am lucky if i get to shoot my rifles 1once every few weeks . When i was a kid we lived on a dead end with endless property to shoot guns now I dont have that situation so it's the outdoor shooting range withbpaper targets
