Crazy experience tonight... Gamo Swarm Magnum 10x Gen3i with a UTG 3-9x32 BugBuster scope. I shot about 30 pellets and the back scope cap cover popped off... landed right in my lap! I slipped it back on and another 25 pellets and it popped off again! I'm guessing I'm going to need to secure...

I get some of the objections to the question, but my #1 concern is I don't want to wound the pesky squirrels in the yard... I want to kill 'em. Having some idea what the fpe this rifle generates is worth knowing so that I know I'm humanely dispatching these rodents. I get that accuracy is the...

PM sent! Absolutely interested!!!

OK... so does anyone know what ammo Gamo uses to attain their claimed 1300 fps muzzle velocity? I'm just curious...

Understand on the pellet brand; I had to start somewhere, and the H&N Baracuda's seemed to be a good place to start, and I opted for heavier rather than lighter pellets. Thanks for the recommendation on the 18's; I'll probably give them a shot after I'm confident with the new rifle.

Thanks, @Ezana4CE , that's what I was searching for, but had not been able to find. Thank you!!

What I'm reading here and there in the forums, I'd hope to get a competent chronograph well under $100... hoping that it can be accomplished for less than $50. I know I can spend $100 - $200 or more, but I've been shooting for 50+ years and have never felt the need for a chronograph.

The variable for me at this moment is unfamiliarity with the rifle; I'm a competent shooter with a traditional firearm. This is why I'm asking questions... my focus is accuracy; at the moment, I need to get through this first tin of pellets as I start dialing in the new scope. Thanks all...

I doubt it at this point (at least with me as the shooter); I'm trying to determine the effective range of the rifle. My back yard is probably 50 yards max anyway, which would put an effective hunting range under that; most of the game will be under 20 yards. Putting a decent scope on it...

Trying to gather some metrics that most likely already exist. I know what Gamo advertises for their muzzle velocity for their Swarm Magnum 3i, but I'm shooting a much heavier pellet than the "fastest". Does anyone have chrono data on this rifle shooting the H&N Baracuda 21.14 gr pellets?

I'd like to get a reasonable chronograph so I can get actual measurements for my muzzle velocity, but I'm not keen on spending lots of $$. Can anyone recommend a minimal chronograph that will yield reliable results without breaking the bank?

I expect the grouping to get much better with time, practice, and the better scope; I agree... a 5" group at 75 yards isn't huntable.

Hey... bought my first air rifle, a Gamo Swarm Magnum 10x Gen3i in .22 cal. Man, I really like this rifle. My primary desire is for something silent so I can snipe squirrels, rabbits, and other varmints in the subdivision without making too much noise. So, my first concern was to make sure I...

I finally found the correct UTG scope mount - one specifically made for compact scopes. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002TUSJRK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details <-- that mount works.

OK guys... I need your help. I bought this UTG 3-9x32 1" BugBuster scope, and I bought a UTG Accushot one-piece mount, 'cause the scope won't fit in my original Gamo scope mount. BUT... it won't fit in this UTG mount either! Can anyone recommend a scope mount made for air rifles for this...

I broke down and bought a UTG 3-9x32 1" BugBuster. Dismounted the Gamo scope and quickly discovered the UTG won't fit. I now have a UTG 1-piece scope mount on order. The stinker is I had a bigger scope, but the darned thing wouldn't clear the magazine assembly. Guess I'll know more tomorrow...

OK... so I'm going to go heretical for a moment... I have a $300 air rifle, and I want to replace the $10 scope that came with it with something that has a mil-dot reticle so that I can compensate on the fly to axe some pesky varmints. I simply don't have the need for a $1k scope for my...

First post... the tote/rubber mulch/sleeping bag mat is sheer genius. Definitely going to build one of these for my .22 Gamo and my .20 Benjamin Sheridan.
