My wife and I love these gamo rifles and believe they are some of the best for this price point. This .22 is a noticeable power difference from the .177 but is just as accurate.
Pros
Easy to load and use, feels nice to shoot. Shoots fast and hard. Cheap to shoot at a few Pennies per shot.
Cons
The scope is ok. I put a Winchester scope on.
Plan on putting a different scope on it.
Pros
It's a beast!
Cons
Nothing with the rifle. The scope didn't work out for me.
I had to send it back and it cost me $55 to do so.
Pros
Nothing
Cons
The gun is impossible to pump safely and hard to operate, the scope is no good, it weighs too much for a pellet or BB gun, and it is loud.
Bought this during the covid lockdown and ammo hoarding of 2020, first venture into a pellet rifle of this caliber (.22) - I just wanted a cost effective alternative to shooting, without having to go to a range and I have been very pleased with the power and accuracy. Still looking for that 'sweet spot' pellet, between brands, shapes and weights (domed, flat, hollow point, pointed, and even slugs) but I've really enjoyed it (bought 2 more break barrels since), cocking it isn't difficult for an average guy (it's waaay easier than cocking the Swarm Magnum, but more on that in another review) - and it packs a wallop, depending upon target mat'l, it makes a very satisfying thump, thud, or ping if it doesn't just blast right thru. I also like the 1st generation 10 shot clip. The scope it comes with is accurate and usable, albeit entry level, I replaced with a UTG 3-12x44 scope and this rifle is just plain awesome fun, very happy with the purchase, I am hooked, enjoy shooting regularly!
Pros
top quality for a very reasonable price - hard to beat for first purchase, this is way better than the old multi-pump daisy's or crossman we all played with as kids, that being said, this is a real rifle with real projectiles shooting 4 to 5 times harder and faster than those old bb guns - THIS IS NOT A KIDS TOY.
Cons
- wish the stock had the storage compartment for an extra clip like seen on another gamo rifle
- sling mounts would seem to be in order but the Gamo "sling buddy" works
One of the things I hope this gun will do it take care of coons and other midrange pests.
As I said above you cannot really beat this gun, for the price you get A LOT.
This gun cannot compete with PCP but if you want to be able to shoot faster, shoot better pellets and kill ethically this gun is your best shot.
In my opinion the next step up from this gun would be the air venturi avenger, but for the cost you can buy this gun 3 times for the price of one avenger and everything you need to get the gun working (not counting pellets)
I would not say a young kid or irresponsible teen have this gun, I put this in as a no duh, but this gun is powerful.
I should also add that the 14gr and 15gr made groups the size of a quarter at 20 yards, The 18gr was the size of my hand.
The scope is not bad but if you have the money to buy a better one I would do so.
The adjustable trigger to me has no value, I have shot guns for years without and find for myself to leave the trigger alone is best.
Pros
This gun is a very good step up from springers, I have used a .177 springer for years but here in the last year the size of game I have been wanting to take down (pigeons and squirrels) I wanted to get a bigger caliber.
The gas piston is a massive step up and has all the power you will need to kill game out to 100 yards (max)
The piston has next to no recoil and does not shake the gun at all.
As for ammo I tested 3 different grain weights, 14gr, 15gr and 18gr. H&N Hammer, JSB Hades and JSB Diabolo Exact Jumbo Heavy (in wight order)
The 14gr and 15gr flew really well but the 18gr would not group at all.
So, I would say max use 16gr pellets out of this gun.
The Hades have all the power you need, I am blowing though sheet metal like it is nothing.
This gun was not my first pick, I really wanted the air venturi avenger but for the price and what I want to hunt the Whisper is good.
As for sound, when you first shoot, it will sound loud but latter on not so much.
I got excellent accuracy with JSB Diabolo 15.89 grain pellets.
Pros
Excellent accuracy and very quiet. Overall an outstanding break barrel air rifle.
Cons
At this price point nothing. But a better scope is preferred.
Respect this rifle, it is a kicker and can cause serious damage. To me, the sound is about right, you know you have made a shot. I highly recommend this gun.
Pros
I'm no gun expert but this rifle really pops. I got the 22 and fully satisfied with the action. It is very accurate and feels like a real hunting rifle. The scope is fine for this gun. I can center the target from yards almost all the time. I suggest you buy an extra magazine which are a little tedious to load. Cocking the gun does take a little strength, a little kid would have a lot of trouble. I really love this gun, it is fun
Cons
The biggest change would be that a torx screw driver be in included rather than a crappy little l end wrench. Mounting the scope can be a little troubling until you learn the trick. My first encounter took over a half an hour. Use a torx screwdriver and it will definitely be a lot easier.
Pros
Very accurate rifle at 40 yard half dollar sized group, standing supported. Very good for dove and rabbit. 14grains+\- pellets preform very well. Gamo red fire's (for hunting) and Norma pellets (for target practice) group almost Identical, also for a very cheap pellet option the Crossman premier 14.3 gr. good well but there can be some flyers do to inconsistent pellet shape.
Cons
It seemed to be very hard to zero, I think it was a combo of the barrel break-in period and misunderstanding the adjustment ratios.
This is a great pellet rifle for the Money! Personally, I don't think you can get a better one for under $200.00
Pros
Powerful, Easy to Use, can purchase additional cartridges and keep them loaded.
Cons
Not real consistently accurate, I feel that the barrel doesn't always go back and stay in the exact same place everytime after cocking. Personally I think it's a little loud.
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.when loading the cartridge the pellets are not loading into the barrel so when I cock the rifle the pellets fallout. I did it slow so I can see it. what do I do
asked orlando from USAWill the magazine on this accept hunting style pointed pellets? Such as the Predator Polymags, H&N Terminators, etc.
asked Joseph from USAplease explain con statement on gamo swarm whisper
asked Roger from USAdoes this come with a single shot capability?
asked Seth from USANo one pellet can loaded in the mag .
Stanley from USAHow hard is it to cock?
asked Wyman from USAAbout 30 lbs
Bryce from USA
At 82 with a right shoulder problem and limited budget, I didn't think I'd be able to use a break barrel air rifle. To my pleasant surprise, I can cock 30-40 shots at a session without over straining my shoulder.. Best of all, the Gamo was accurate with a 3x9x42 illuminated replacement scope. With hand tremors and poor eye sight, using a rifle rest, I can get a "reasonably" good group at 40 yards, but haven't moved beyond that yet. Extremely pleased with this Gamo.
Pros
Accuracy and reasonable ease of cocking.
Cons
None at this time.
