The Gamo Swarm Whipser 10X is an affordable alternative to the Magnum... but how does it perform? On this episode of Hunt Shoot Live, I put the Swarm Whisper to the test in the field from 30 yards to 100 yards!!!

That turkey is the most supportive partner you could ask for. He was cheering you with every shot.
@Jamal Abdulla He was a very fun pet. Sadly, a bear torn into the lot I kept him in one night and hauled him off.
I joined the Army at 17, and was one of only four that shot expert in our company. The M16 was the first weapon that I ever shot in my life, but I followed the eight step instructions- The most important being to squeeze the trigger on the out breath.
@Angelo If you enjoy long range shooting, check out the long range playlist on my channel.
Still a great pump gun even though it is mostly plastic, czcams.com/users/postUgkxh4su9YgU1tWmjikirWcKJbjsFLEU62Bc but with care it will last a long time. It would be neat if Crosman would make a commemorative version of this with real wood stock, but of course it would weigh more and cost more, but hey, it would be cool. The included scope is more of a toy, but it does work for backyard plinking. I prefer to use pellets for greater accuracy, but BBs are just as good for plinking. This is not a Red Ryder folks; fully pumped it is 3 times the power of a Red Ryder and can be dangerous if not handled properly. Be safe out there.
@jenardbolt123 Yes. The swarm whisper is a great pellet rifle.
That turkey cracks me up- Seems like he's laughing at you,lol.
@Angelo Haha! He probably was.
I agree, Im addicted as well! I've always shot guns, but I bought a Gamo Varmint in .177 a few months ago, and I liked it so much I recently bought a Swarm Magnum in .22. I have a big backyard with woods behind my house and have a blast just plinking around now. Tons of fun!
I could not stop giggling at your turkey. Thanks for the vid!
@morningstarlet Yeah, he was pretty funny. Did that all the time. Thanks for watching!!!
Great detailed review. Thank gou very much and your positive energy and willingness to continuo learning about airguns is impressive and appreciated. Subscribed and liked sir
@cabezamiami Thank you for watching and for the comment!!! Please check out my air rifle playlist and you should find quite a few videos you may enjoy there.
I've had this rifle about 8 months and I think it's brilliant. Diablo 14.3g pellets give less drop.
@Dean Taylor I’ll check em out. A few others have also recommended Diablo. Thanks for the comment!
Great video! Can't wait to see the max...
Thank you for this video. Rev
Great air rifle and is almost on par with the Swarm magnum which is a value. Holding the air rifle properly and pellet selection is key to very tight groups with this value priced precision adult air gun. Good Hunting and adventure with this one!!!
@Jimmie White I really like the Swarm Whisper. I think it is close enough to to the Magnum to make the price difference not worth it for the Magnum. Both are good air rifles though for sure. Thanks for the comments!
thank you for the video, I just bought this gun. cant wait to get it from amazon.
It just got here woohoo let the fun begin
Make all your vids with that turkey. I loved his commentary 😂😂. Awesome vid man. I recently got one of these,and loving it so far. 👍👍
@kayespea2264 Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately, a bear tore into my lot and killed my turkey a few months after I made that video. He definitely was a fun pet.
Just bought one today for my Bday tomorrow, can't wait to try it out.
@GunsofMassEffect The Swarm Whisper is really a great pellet rifle. Very fun to shoot! The Magnum seems to get all the attention but the Swarm Whisper is much more enjoyable to shoot in my opinion. Super smooth to cock. Accurate. My kids love to shoot it! It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Shoot safe! I hope you enjoy!!!
Great video, I will also do a similar test. I just purchased the Gamo Wildcat Whisper .22 cal. I just can't seem to spend too much money on an air gun, lol. I did notice that there is always that pellet that works best with each rifle, and I believe that. There are other factors that affect the projectile flight, like how deep it is seated, consistency in grains (related to cost), and different shapes. In the end, I will use the most accurate pellet. Terminal ballistics don't matter if you don't hit it.
@Victor Gatell Jr. I think the only air rifle I would consider paying a little more for would be a pcp air rifle. I’ve got too many rimfire and centerfire rifles to dive too deep into another money hole!
Thanks for the info 👍
I have the same Gamo and I like it. It does take a few times shooting it to get a handle on the double recoil of a break barrel. They are harder to shoot consistently accurate. I shoot JSB Hades .22 Diabolo 15.89 grain for my best accuracy and my top hunting pellet.
@Kay Bee I'll keep a look out for those pellets. I have several different options ready to try but I don't have those. There are so many choices!
Does it shoot well at 50-60 yards with these pellets? I am looking to buy this rifle or something else similar for rabbit hunting.
@@Spyros_Mazarakis Most people will tell you that a break barrel is only really good for hunting with at no further then 30-40 yards, just FYI. I have found that the Gamo Red Fires shoot the best out of this gun for me.
Thanks for the cool videos and your enthusiasm toward air rifles. Watch out if you catch the air rifle bug. The journey you start on will be fun, challenging and can be very expensive if you chose to chase ultimate accuracy. You can easily spend a couple thousand dollars on one quality PCP air rifle not to mention $4k or more for competition rifles. Have fun and enjoy the ride!
@Gman Neo’d Oh man... I can’t afford another expensive hobby!!! Haha! It is fun and practice isn’t as expensive as centerfire which is a big plus. I would like to shoot a pcp. Haven’t got my hands on one yet. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Compressors can be expensive too.
There's some out there for a few hundred bucks, but wow
Berapa harganya bro..?
I love the gobbles after every shot
@James Gambino Haha... He drives me crazy!
Very informative. Thanks
@Everette Welch Thank you!
I picked up a Swarm Whisper recently, my first pellet gun since owning a Crossman 760 back in 1974. Ammo shortage is killing me, but this is scratching my itch. It is pretty accurate, but the factory scope does move on you.
@Rick Manley It is fun for sure. Doesn't come close to centerfire but it is a cheap option to help slow down a little on the big stuff.
I put a Tasco scope on mine and it is holding up.
@@HuntShootLive Which Tasco scope?
Snag that DX on Gamo USA you’ll thank me later it’s awesome 👊🏻👍 my whisper and DX never miss ! My Gen 3 mags just sit lol
I have a GAMO Whisper 10X .22 and it is better than I thought it would be, very accurate. Thanks for your review.
@dwightemery5694 Yes, super great air rifle for that price. Thanks for watching!
@HuntShootLive great rifle, i found the gamo magnum 15.4gr pellets to be the most accurate pellets and ive been shooting 21gr slugs through mine with excellent results.
@@tatsuhirosatou5513 I may have to give those a try.
@@HuntShootLive i have some rifle brand 18.4gr slugs in the mail.
Crossman hollow point lead does about 650fps based on other channels chronographs. They also show that the magnum is less accurate.
After sighting it in on a half dollar at 30ft, My brother and I were shooting cans at 100yards with the cheap stock scope just last weekend. It seemed like it wasn't dropping for nothing. I bought it for a varmit rifle and had 6 chipmunks in 5 days. So far it is a great value and a lot of fun with family considering the cost of powder these days. It's a fun piece.
@J Santarsiero It’s a great pellet rifle. I like it much better than the magnum.
I really like how open minded you are. When you were talking about 100 yards with the whisper I thought of the same question? I hope to see that video of if it would kill at 100!!!
@Alex Searle Thank you! Check out my air rifle playlist. I have a few more videos up testing the whisper.
Bring it!!!!! Thank you!!!!!
That's my favorite gamo, I also like my bone collector and fusion mach 1
I love my .22 Gamo swarm whisper, you are right about the free recoil but your saying the magnum is different. So basically you hold the magnum like a regular firearm rifle. I was thinking about buying a Magnum but you just showed me the swarm whisper is more accurate. I hunt small pests so the whisper is proving itself to be better. The magnum is supposed to be a Lil more powerful. Bro I used a pellet rifle clean kit and clean and oil the barrel and my pellet rifle group has improved and you get more power big time.
Great video man, I've got the gamo swarm magnum .177 and the .22 had to send my 22 Bck to gamo to get it worked on excited to get it back but the .177 is a beast too
@Bronson Wisdom I would like to shoot the 177 but have not got my hands on one yet. I’m sure it’s awesome as well.
@Hunt Shoot Live I love it I've chronographed several diff pellets and were I live I have to shoot a 9.6 grain pellet or it breaks the sound barrier, give me a way to send you a video I'll send ya a Pic of an apple I shot with the magnum 177 vs a gamo maxxim standard, crazy the diff in energy using the same pellet
I just got the .177 . I love it .
diesel it with some RemOil. Vaseline is easier to apply with consistency, but I would assume it takes more energy to combust being thicker than other petroleum products.
I will tell you all that my 50 and 49 yard shots are super accurate. the 100 plus shots does have a drop like your review. I use my rifle within 40 to 50 for my needs. Excellent investment for me.
I love this rifle but only complaint like you mentioned the scope will get loose from recoil I might get a new scope for it cuz it did get loose 2 times I had to tighten it again but you did a good video I'm subscribed now keep content coming.
This is the first air rifle that I've ever bought , since then I've added an Umarex Hammer , an Air Force Texan LSS , 2 AEA'S , the Element Max.510 , and the Challenger Bullpup.357 , but , for plinking around my neighborhood , the Swarm Whisper is dynamite 🧨🧨🧨 , and it's a light rifle .
@@Donatello40973 Yes. Fun little plinking air rifle for sure.
Like the way you test the Gamo's air riffles. Looking forward to see your next videos .
Your turkey is telling use what he thinks about things. .177 would be flatter than the .22 , thanks.
@Bulvine Scatologist Thank you! I just uploaded a new one Friday testing how hold affects accuracy. That was a fun test! About to get my hands on a .117!!!
I like that the turkey gobbles every time you shoot
@Allison Bowden Haha! Yes, he liked to talk!!!
Ejoyed your video! Straight forward and informative! Thank you, Sir…..
@normweidner7697 Awesome! Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching!!!
The pellet matters! Each air gun has a particular pellet that it likes and yields the best accuracy. That being said, this is a very nice video. Very informative. You might also try the assault hold. Tightly gripping a break barrel rifle usually makes the accuracy decrease. I think you have the airgun fever. :)
Thank You Sir 👍
@Dutch Leussink Thanks for watching!
Ask any sniper you happen to see. Firing up hill or down hill is vastly different than firing straight. Gravity plays into the calculation and can drastically effect projectile drop. I could be wrong because it was a video and I cannot say for certain but it appeared to me that you were firing up hill. If I am correct in that it would cause pellet drop differently than a straight shot. The arch of the pellet would be greater.
@Michael Brown Uphill or downhill decreases the travel distance for the projectile, slightly, when the angle is greater than 45 degrees. I was not shooting anywhere close to that angle. But, if I were firing at a significant angle and my rangefinder did not calculate for the incline, I would impact higher than with a “ground distance” measurement (I would be holding for 100 yards but the compensated angle makes it actually only 75 yards so impact would be high). Compensating for the 45 degree angle decreases the distance. 100 yards at a 45 degree angle becomes 75 yards. Doesn’t matter if it’s uphill or downhill. Calculation is the same. But I was shooting at far less of an angle than 45 degrees so my ranges were exactly represented.
Pellet guns against game for me are 15-25 yard shots. At that distance, my Gamo Whisper 10x makes quarter sized (or better) groups. At those distances, my Gamo is GREAT for plinking. IMO anything farther than that is just for fun/my info……and probably should be done with a different gun if I’m really trying to hit something.
Good cheek weldmwith low comb and high scope looks to be non existing. Thats one of the nicest buck mounts ive seen in a while.
@plowmaster1206 I don't understand your first sentence. Thank you about the buck mount. I'm pleased.
@@HuntShootLive copy I see... I'm just saying the low comb and height of scope prolly makes for a poor cheek weld and poor sight picture
@@plowmaster1206 Oh yes. You are correct. I swapped that out at this point. Just threw on what I had to get the video done at the time. The Swarm Whisper is a good air rifle.
Awesome i have same gun n bought a bunch of diff pellets too...looking forward to your vids ...👍
@cain sample Thank you! It’s a good air rifle. I’ve got 8 different types of pellets to try out!!!
@@HuntShootLive i have 5 different types..waiting for good weather....i actually just bought a 2nd brand new one because i wanted to see if you cocked it twice what happened.....well dont do it...i jammed pellets in the barrel ....hopefully i can get them out n have 2 swarm whisperers .22👍👍
@@CainSample I hope you are able to get them out of there!
@@HuntShootLive Yes I did get them out with a long drill bit from harbor freight...now I have 2 whisperers .22👍
Pretty good 👍. That swarm magnum is a different beast to these. Nice to know it's 12 inch drop. At 30 yard zero I have 5.8 mills hold over @10x zoom hawk airmax.
@ShotCount Tv Thank you! I’m pleased with the Swarm Whisper.
The magnum is an oversell like trojans condoms. Even with 10 lbs more stopping power if on average the barrel and grip on the whisper is just better
.22 pellets rise up about 2 inches from the barrel and flatten out at 50 yards. That's why I target shoot .177 The .22Lr is 2 inches up at 50 yards and flat at 100 yards.
That has been my exact experience with the rifle in this video.
Cool video thanks
@Matthew Vannoy Thank you for watching!
I must be doing something wrong. All of these great comments on this gun and I Have had this swarm whisper for a couple years and have tried bunch different pellets , different ways to hold the gun and can’t get a decent group good enough for squirrel hunting.
It’ll kill a squirrel if I’m lucky enough to actually get ahead shot but i miss or loose more wounded squirrels than I find. I consider myself a halfway decent shot but this rifle doesn’t cut the mustard for me.
Went back to my 50 year old pump Sheridan.
@craigh8990 I’m sure some do better than others just like firearms. There is always a lemon out there to buy. Happened to me with a Remington 700 a few years ago. Had to send it back to them.
Use the artillery hold wile shooting, and you will get much smaller groups!
And if you use a higher quality rifle (HW97), your groups will be smaller than half that size.
I have the rifle in .117 and was surprised at the accuracy at distance. Great rifle. I use it for rabbits that insist on pooping in my yard. The dogs spend far too much time looking for rabbit droppings in the back yard and eating them.
@Rock Roll It is a great little pellet rifle!
Hi you guys are so lucky in the UK we can only own a 12 foot pound air rifles with out needing a fac certificate which sucks bro great video Jim UK.
@Jim Cowley Absolutely blessed in the USA! Sorry you are limited in the UK. I can’t imagine how frustrating that is.
Those groups won’t be accurate if you’re using the stock scope. At least get a one piece scope mount... especially with that scope. Your POI WILL move on you, it’s just a matter of time. However, that rifle is very accurate. PRO TIP: When you get to that 2nd stage in the trigger snap it and hold for a second. With any break barrel they usually shoot the best when holding or resting on the balance point of the stock. I’ve had mine about a year and put 1000’s of rounds through it and it’s very accurate. Only problem is that magazine assembly will come loose after awhile and I don’t want to mess with it. Otherwise great video 👍
@Greg Thanks for the tips! I’m using a Tasco scope I used to have on a rifle. I like the gun so far!
wow! Semper FI!
That was a good video that turkey cracked me up I have that same gun and love it I killed 11 rabbits with it after I got it sighted in the first week I got it it’s a hard hitting gun I don’t think I will ever go squirrel hunting with a 22 lr again I I’m going to get a gamo magnum 22 gen 2 next week I’ve got a friend that has one and I loved it as well but not because it shoots any better good luck to your channel I gave you a sub it’s some great information for the guns I like to shoot . P.s I changed the scope on mine also the gun is worth putting a better scope on it for sure. Be safe man take care of that turkey lol
@Randy Griffin Thank you! I appreciate your support. Those turkeys are fun but they’re driving me crazy now because the shock gobbles are constant!!! Yeah, I’m really liking the Swarm Whisper. I’m anxious to do some groundhog hunting with it. Head shots only of course. Thanks again for the sub! Shoot safe!!!
Heya Randy what scope did you end up getting?
@@rrivie hey man I put a hawke vantage 3+9+40 mil dot it was a little over a hundred dollars great scope clear as a bell good shooting
I need about 30 to 50 yards to take out iguanas here in S. Florida .. just picked up the Whisper and I like it....hope to love it..lol.
@The Lone Angler I’m sure it will handle em out to 30 at least. Reply to one of my videos when you kill a few at those distances and let me know how it does. Thanks for the comment!
@@HuntShootLive This lil rifle is fun fun. Got me an Iguana , shot from across a canal I bowfish here in my home in S. Florida and it was over 30 yards between two safety poles that it tried to run in between. I might've been blessed that day , but I must admit that rifle has darn good accuracy . I was using Gamo .22 Red Fire , cause I was practice shooting when ole green jaws showed up... Thanks and I hope you like my story as much as I appreciate your videos.. check me out on facebook.👍✝️♥️🎣🏹🛶🇵🇷🇺🇸. The Lone Angler
I am 86 really enjoy my air guns using my basement range but l have not been able to shoot for a few years, sadly. Anyway l watch a lot of videos and it does seem to be with spring piston hold one arm out and let the rifle be free and it will work best.
@user-mv9bj4ej6p Yes, that does seem to consistently be the best hold. Sorry you’re not getting to shoot much. I’m sure that’s tough on you.
It would be interesting to do this test with the Swarm Magnum and a Ruger 10-22 (Or better still, a bolt action 22 that can shoot .22 shorts.)
@Plane Fun Check out my air rifle playlist. I did a video where I chronoed the mag, whisper, 22lr and 22 short. I also have a video that is the same test as this one with the mag.
Yes it is and have doing it thing
Great video. Is there a way to install a better silencer on this?
@ChannelOne-1 Thank you! I am not aware of a way. I'm sure that info can be found online somewhere with a quick search.
The pellet selection on the magnum is more critical. Due to the higher velocity.. good vid....
@Julian Rodriguez I have several more options to try out. Vid coming soon. Thanks for watching!
Ok.Sir...
Great video! (Thanks for sharing them) We got the swarm whisper, what’s strange is zero’ed at 18-20yds, but at 30-40yds the shots are raising, 2-2-1/2” I’d think they’d drop? We will try keeping ahold firm, but it was held tight on a bench. Same with shots at 50yds. .177 version, 7.9g crossman and 10g H-N (hollows)
@Ol RedRacer Thank you! Interesting that they are raising. I have not had that happen with any of my pellet choices. Can’t say what might be happening there with yours.
@@HuntShootLive …Well I found out what it was, resting the barrel on something and not the forearm! Check it and see, the barrel assembly moves upward when resting (or pushed)on just the barrel 2” or 4”or 6” from the end.
Then makes the shot high by X- inches.. if no pressure is on the barrel… shoots nickel size groups, but any upward pressure (just on the barrel) shots all over the place, mainly high. 🙄🤔😤
@@hondaredracer I didn't think of that when you initially posted. Holding the barrel on something also messes with the harmonics and can kill consistency, at least in centerfire rifles.
I will go with the magnum. Thank you
@robalan57 The magnum is a waste of money. Get a PCP.
at your 100 yrd mark the target was at a higher elevation. When you went to 75 yards you lowered the target down the hill. Fighting extra gravity at 100.
nice little test❤
@Chafmaster49 Negligible difference. My ballistic calculator shows a 2” difference between the 20 degree angle and zero angle.
@Chafmaster49 Additionally, angle decreases drop compensation. Projectiles do not fight extra gravity. Shot compensation for this 100 yard shot with a 20 degree angle drops around two inches less than if the shot angle was zero. There would be a potential skew in data if I had shot 100 yards and 75 yards at different angles but I did not. Both were at 20 degrees same line of sight.
@@HuntShootLive you are right. it appeared that you had gone downhill for the 75 yd target.
Hey Hunt Shoot Guy, here's a tip for ya... get a "Level Bubble", then set it up to offset your rifle a few deg. to the left, do some experiments to get the right "off level" will bring you back on target... Per-se' ... Cheers Mate...
@Curtis Jackson Hello! Help me understand what you are explaining. Why would I do that instead of just adjusting the scope’s left/right adjustment?
The pulling to the right of the target could be from the trigger pull being so hard on most of these higher powered pellet guns. I have a Ruger 22 and the trigger pull is always something that can throw my shot off. Maybe the trigger pull, along with the reduced speed of the projectile, being pulled to the right, assuming you are right handed, could possibly be the reason for the shots going right? Idk lmk what you think if you get a minute and I'll subscribe 😊
@Alex Searle You are correct. I’m sure I was getting some pull to the right because I am right handed. The trigger is my only real complaint with the whisper. It is really bad! The Magnum is too. I’ve not shot a pellet rifle with a great trigger yet! Thanks for watching and for the comment!!!
Great video! I just bought this air rifle and I’ve had the .177 varmint for 2 weeks. The stock scope seems to constantly need adjustment. Any suggestions on a new scope to put on them?
@Jonathan Clark Check out my air rifle playlist. I did a video about scopes for pellet rifles. I would probably choose Leupold.
Tighten your scope.
Nice mounts
Do you know what the rifling ratio is for the whisper 22. And if so what pellet weights work best with that rifling
@Everette Welch I can’t find anything definitive. 1:16 seems to be a common post.
It would have been helpful to know what pellets you were shooting; it can make a huge difference to find which pellet performs best in a particular rifle.
@RealTechZen Link to pellets I used is in video description.
From what I understand about pellets that higher the velocity (above the sound barrier) it can greatly reduces accuracy. You mentioned that the Whisper seemed to be more accurate the Magnum. So my question is where you using the same pellets? The Magnum may improve accuracy with a heavier pellet, something in about the 18 grain range. Have you tried heavier pellets in the magnum and if so how did it work out for you?
@jdwagman Both the whisper and magnum seem to like the heavier pellets better in my rifles anyway. I’ve done a few other videos on accuracy at this point and it’s been a while so I can’t recall specifics but round nosed 14-15 grain do well in both. Ts22s do well in both. It may be more accurate for me to say it seems a wider variety of pellets shoot more accurately through the whisper as compared to the magnum.
@@HuntShootLive I am just getting into Gamo air guns. I appreciate all the information you provide through your videos. Thank you.
The whisper or DX is all you need! I’ve got both mags gen 3s and my Swarm Whisper and Swarm DX are definitely my go too and favorite 👊🏻over 1,000 shots and no issues! The DX $139 go Gamo USA u will thank me later I promise 👊🏻👍💪
@user-fh6cg6hd9h I like the whisper better than the magnum.
Have one in 22 cal. It can consistently hit soda cans at 50 yards. I did put a better scope on it for this accuracy.
@dalependleton6420 It’s a great pellet rifle. I prefer it to the Magnum.
That turkey is a drama queen. It's almost like he's scream: "You got me!", "You got me again!", "You got me", after every shot.
@Mike Peterson Haha! Yeah, he defiantly liked to talk. Unfortunately, a bear tore into my lot and killed him about a month ago. I was very mad. He was like a dog. Tried to stay right with me when I was outside.
@@HuntShootLive Oh man! Sorry to hear that. I would have liked to see him on one of these vids.
Wondering how the Tasco is holding up. Have a pretty nice Burris 2-7 X 35mm that would work nicely on mine but everything I'm reading says the Whisper Swarm .22 piston will ruin a standard scope! Bought this rifle based on your video! I thought the provided scope would suffice but it doesn't focus well for these old eyes . Great review and looking forward to more👍
@jeff woodring Thanks for watching! Tasco still hasn’t moved. I’ve probably put 100-150 pellets through it since the video. I hope it holds up. I’ll definitely do a round count review on it once I’ve got 500 or so through it and will report on the scope also. Check out my channel. I did a pellet test with 8 different options a few weeks ago. It seems to like the Gamo Red Fire.
Thank you! I have watched more vids, great content!
Thank you! Let me know if you have any content recommendations.
@@HuntShootLive I'm actually sighting in right now and Wow! Impressive accuracy! Not used to this. 20yds with Crosman premier pointed 14.3 gr. Can't wait to see what an ammo and scope upgrade could potentially bring! Thanks again for steering me toward this one! I think it's a keeper😉
@@HuntShootLive can't send pic but it's basically one nickle size hole!
I heard a regular rifle scope wont hold to the double recoil of a gas piston air rifle has yours held up?
@Brian Crowe I guess I have about 300 rounds through it so far without any problems.
Que potencia saca en julios !! Aproximadamente !! Se ve muy preciso !! Pero para hacer blanco ha 75 MTRS !! NECESITA UNA POTENCIA POR ENCIMA DE LOS 19 JULIOS !! SALUDOS DESDE ESPAÑA !!
@Francisco Garcia Greetings! It’s a good pellet rifle. I certainly prefer rimfire or centerfire rifles but this one is fun for plinking and taking small game within 50 yards or so. Thanks for watching!
I prefer the artillery hold on these myself and get my best groups.
You'll likely shoot different when shooting up or down Hill
Ummm....I was always told to never use a center fire or rim fire scope on a piston air rifle. The recoil impulse is different from a piston airguns. It will knock your scope off eventually.
@George-ue3er If they have a lifetime warranty then it really doesn’t matter. At least to give it a try. Check this video out on the subject…
Can you put a Rifle Scope on a Pellet Rifle?
czcams.com/video/hba1eYulUk8/video.html
I just bought one of these rifles today. It was the only one that they had at Walmart, and unfortunately, one end of the box was open, and when I got it home, the rotary magazine was missing. Walmart doesn't accept returns on air guns, so I have contacted the manufacturer/distributor, to try to acquire a magazine for this gun. It is too bad that they don't come with open sights. We were being overun by nutria swamp rats. I caught an adult nutria in a cage trap. This gun put the critter to sleep instantly. range was about four inches.
@alneal100 That’s a bummer! Hopefully Gamo will send you a mag. I like the Whisper. It’s a good pellet rifle for the money.
The reason why your having so much drop is the because of the weight of the pellets. 14.3 grain pellets are effective maybe out 60 yards. After that you need to holdover. Use a pellet from 16-19 grains. The drop is much less because of the heavier weight. Or you can also try using slugs. They will go 3x as far because of their shape like a bullet.
@Will White I have a bunch of different pellets to try out now so I'm anxious to get that test in. Hopefully get that done in a few weeks. Thanks for the comment!
That is such good info! I would love to know if anyone has created a bullet drop chart, like we used to use on our old sniper rifles. I'm sure with some field work and time and shooting at 5 yard intervals, one could come up with a good chart so you can get an accurate dope. As far as windage, wow! Don't even know how that would work with the light weight. I would love to hear from someone who has done that.
ill try that thanks for this imformation
It would help if you could fasten the target so that it doesn't move
Follow the manufacturer's directions regarding breaking the barrel @ 1:53
Sounds like the Swarm Magnum is better for distance of 75 to 100 yards and the Swarm Whisper is better for distance 35 to 50 yards.
Q: Can you please do a gel test for penetration at 35 to 50 yards for the Swarm Whisper and a gel test for penetration at 75 to 100 yards for the Swarm Magnum?
I would assume that the magnum would have enough lethal penetration but not sure how much that is in terms of inches. That knowledge would definitely determine what kind of game animal I might attempt a shot at, ie squirrel vs rabbit, raccoon, possum, or ground hog.
Thanks.
Stay Safe, Be Well, God Bless.
@Ken Fan Check out the air rifle playlist on my channel. I have a few penetration tests using animal skulls. Not done a gel test yet. Not found a great affordable way to do that yet. Hope to do some gel testing shortly.
God bless!
@@HuntShootLive , there was a woman on CZcams, I guess you can search for it, that showed how to make homemade gel for ballistic testing, cool as crap.
Can you get these break barrel repeaters with a wood stock?
@learningsevenresearchgoals1127 Not the gamo but there are some brands with wood stocks. Benjamin and Hatsan are two.
Turkey was laughing!
@edorofish He loved to laugh at every noise.
I really enjoy your logical approach. I might suggest that you try several different pellets and slugs. Air rifles are notoriously finicky and if you try different particular grain weight , style of projectile and manufacturer you might find your gun really loves that variant and you'll be able to tighten those groups up considerably.
Good job 👍
@Thom and Staci Everroad Thank you! I recently did a follow up. Check out my air rifle playlist.
@@HuntShootLive I certainly will do. I only recently found your channel and am working my way through your catalog.
I've been to 5 Walmarts and the last one has a .22 Whisper but there are no iron sights...$150, can they be had for less ?
@Mike nhgoldprospector I believe I paid about 150. Someone recently commented they found one a little less expensive but I think 150 is typical.
I just got this air rifle, two days ago, at walmart for $127.
@Angelo I am pleased with mine. Great air rifle for the price.
Wish it had a higher comb on the stock...🎯👍🇬🇧
@Spring Rifle shooter I agree. I have a padded cheek riser i may add. Thanks for the watch and comment!
That Turkey knows it's almost that time!!! 🦃 🔫😁.
@Eric Paul Alex Haha! He liked to talk that’s for sure. A bear ended him. Tore up the lot and got him a few months ago.
@@HuntShootLive Ahh sorry to hear that may he R.I.P. away I'm new to the air rifle community had my Swarm Maxxim for two months now I LOVE IT 😘 Now I'm waiting on a Magnum.
@Eric Paul Alex The magnum is pretty impressive. I would say you will like it.
Wait until you start playing with pcp guns. Very accurate and hard hitting. Also quiet.
Cool
@Norman Roach I’m still liking the whisper after several months of use. Great pellet rifle for the money.
👌👌👌
Pellets make the difference too.
@specialed1942 I’ve got 8 different types ready to test! I’m pretty excited... just have to find some time.
Is the swam whisper the same as swarm whisper maxxim or are they different guns?
@Jack Mehoff Those are different guns.
ahhh okay iwas looking it up but wanted to make sure anyways
How do you remove the mussel on it?
Hey there. Can you reword the question? I don’t understand what you are asking.
it probably be better because the target was moving in the wind it was not still.
@extremlaybak Yes I’d say you are correct. The wind was making it more difficult.
It is a great air rifle...it seems to be only slightly less powerful than the Swarm Magnum...and yes, holding the air rifle a certain way and pellet selection are key.
Good hunting fellow enthusiasts!!!
how does this compare to the Gamo Arrow, my Gamo Arrow broke within 4 months and I have the left over extra mags, will those magazines fit in the Swarm Whisper? and how long will the Whisper last?
@theFormidable1 Sorry yours broke so quickly. That is unusual. Mine has been shot a lot for over a year and still doing well. The Swarm Whisper going on 3-4 years. Perhaps you could email gamo and see if it is an issue covered under their warranty.
And yes, the mag from the Arrow does work in the Swarm Whisper.
@@HuntShootLive yeah I did call pyramid air and they told me I had to work with Gamo for the warranty, but since I live in Hawaii, I'd have to pay to ship it to them, I don't want to deal with the hassle, but I have all the pellets, magazines and hand pump that's just sitting around collecting dust, I do see the whisper at an affordable price here at the local Walmart and before I purchased i want to know your opinion if the whisper is just as powerful as the arrow, and what's the pros and cons between break barrel and pcp, which do you prefer from these 2 specifically
@@theFormidable1 The power/performance between those two is very similar. I like PCPs better because they don’t recoil like the break barrels and are not as loud. The whisper is a good dependable air rifle though for sure.
@@HuntShootLive thanks bro
@@theFormidable1 If you get it let me know how you like it.
Best rifle otta all swarms and the DX which are about the same
