- The most frequent question that Dr. Russ receives is - “What brand and where did you get your scope?” The answer has changed each year as he has found better scopes at better prices. He may have finally found the best scope, red dot, and laser source in CV Life … as well as a special discount for just his viewers. You be the judge as you watch Dr. Russ mount and add his competitive wisdom to his Gamo Swarm 10X Bone Collector. #gamo #gamoswarm #gamobonecollector

Dr. Russ, want to see you around for many more years. Please take as good of care of your health and fitness as you do in educating folks on air guns, and I think you might live forever!
Tony Tony ... thanks for the tips .... Dr. Russ
You are the man Doc Russ! You have all of the good tips. I bought one of those scope bubble levels and now I am hitting the bull's-eye everytime.
Good to hear from you Show & Tell w/Jace Bell....many shooters take competitive and accurate shooting for granted... it actually takes some serious practice time ... and some secret accessories that you dont want the next guy to know about ... to sink hole upon hole at longer and longer distances... thanks for sharing... please stay in touch ... Dr. Russ
The earth is approx. 25,000 miles in circumference at the equator. A day is 24 hrs in time. So the earth surface at the equator is moving toward the east at close to 1,000 mph.
At each pole, the earth surface is moving near 0 mph because each pole is right at the earth rotational axis.
So the earth surface speed can be calculated at any point of latitude between those two.
The trade winds on the earth are effected by the earth rotation.
Good info that most people have no clue about. Our military snipers (or any serious LONG range marksman) must take into consideration the rotation of the earth as it will affect shot placement (maybe not so much for air rifle plinking though...😁), but still very good knowledge to have. Thanks for bringing that up.
@@gaoutdooradventures nonsense.
This video got me to order one.... Under $30, and even the Amazon reviews are awesome... looking forward to getting it....
Cool ... let me know if you enjoy it ... Dr. Russ
Awesome video Dr Russ, I always enjoy watching your videos, I been shooting airguns since I was a kid, I started out with a Benjamin pump gun, then evolved after where that gun plumb out to a Sheridan pump gun silver streak. Shot that for a lot of years, then I went to my first break barrel, the Beeman C1 carbine 177. I used that for quite some time, than I kinda got out of airguns for a few years. I was drag racing alot, that’s my other passion. Than about 10 years ago I bought my first pcp, now I own around 18 of them, mostly high end PCP’s FX’s I have a couple brococks and a couple daystate s but I also have a air Venturi avenger. Love that gun, very accurate. Anyway that’s a little back history. I also have a lot of powder guns, I still love my powder guns, I load all of my own ammo.
Lance Rhoades ... it is always good to hear from you ... and especially your passions. You have a great collection of air guns... Stick with those that are regulated.... and dont be tempted on how good the deal is to buy something else that isn't regulated. Dr. Russ
@@russjones6497 Thanx Dr Russ for your response, I was just asking about your rifles & your experience of zeroing in at 50yds instead of 25yds what your holdover is on average at 25 & 75..? Heck..my old model-342 is in good shape but she probably wouldn't even hit the paper at 75yds..lol😆at least not without a good MPR-V5 Reticle
Thanx my friend.. keep those videos coming.👍
@@robripingill4897 Good to hear from you Rob ... Keep us in your loop... Dr. Russ

As always great show and info! Always look forward to the next! Thanks!
James ... good to hear from you again... and thanks for the compliment ...At the same time, viewers like you put a lot of pressure on me.... good pressure... as I have to dig deep into my photo albums and discussions with some old hunting friends.... to determine what accurate idea I can share next. Please stay in touch... Dr Russ
Thank you for your time, info, experience and service Russ,,, Helped me, us a lot
Mike ... good to hear from you ... and thanks for the compliment... Dr. Russ
Great info, thanks for sharing. By the way, there is a much faster and more "economic" way to sight in your scope, you only need a stand and 1 pellet. Put your rifle in the stand, aim at the bulls eye and shoot. While keeping your rifle in the fixed position and crosshair still on target, you now use the turrets on your scope to move the crosshairs over the impact hole of your pellet and you're done. Your scope is sighted in and you saved some pellets. I'm using this method for over 35 years and I think I saved a few tins of pellets the past decades.
About the adjustment screw for speed, there are some cheap pcp brands that have this feature. Look for the Kral Arms Puncher breaker (I bought this bullpup in .22 years ago for about 500 Euro's) It shoots very hard and very accurate and despite the fact that it's not regulated, it has a very smooth shotstring. I don't know if this gun is still sold under that name but if my memory serves me right, it was also sold under the name Pallas Bull. I bought this rifle just for fun and backyard plinking. I own quite a few air rifles from the "upper echelon" but I still like to grab the Kral . . . 👍
@jbhk7977 ... Thanks for the tip ... I have the Kral puncher breaker and consider it one of my best air rifles that doesn't have a regulator... I am waiting for the stainless steel version to go on sale in 25 cal called the "Marine Version". .... and thanks for the scope sighting in tip. Please write again and share any other tips or experiences you have had with air guns... Dr. Russ
@@russjones6497 That's an awesome looking gun, the marine version. They sold it here as well but out of stock within a day. Hope to see your future Kral on your channel
@@jbhk7977 It will be coming this Fall.... It is good to hear from you ... Dr. Russ
literally came here to learn and that’s what I did. Thank you so much for this video. I’m currently using it as my guide to make my gun accurate and you have a wonderful way of explaining. Your the mannnnn❤
I appreciate the information, thanks for sharing doc.
Obadiah Smith ... it is good to hear from you... I am often asked by receptionists and others what my name is ... and somehow, they frequently screw up the name "Jones". So I almost always say .... "Jones ... as in Smith" ... and then they get it right. Dr. Russ
We’ll said Dr Russ well said
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow ... 4 thumbs up Tom Manning ... you and some other viewers are putting a lot of pressure ... good pressure on me to keep reviewing old hunting photo albums and discussions with old hunt friends... in an effort to keep coming up with helpful videos.... good to hear from you again... Dr. Russ
Great video. Wish I would've seen it a few weeks ago. Now I have to double check leveling on my Gamo, but I'm happy to know better about it now. Thanks for the advice!
jd21k55 It is good to hear from you .... if this is the second time you received this message... I appologize ... Be sure to click onto the small circular photo of me to access our entire channel ... and consider watching two of my videos on "Accuracy".... secondly, we have a video coming next week on making your barrel better and keeping your air gun out of the repair shop... Dr. Russ
Can't get enough of the Doc! Great video as always. I really like the creative mindset you have about making things out of simple materials such as the scope shims as opposed to buying them. Very simple and FREE solution. That reminds me how I came up with the cotton swab/q-tip/makeup wipe idea for cleaning your barrel instead of buying the "barrel cleaning pellets". On another note, and kudos to CVlife, I did recently buy two bipods from CVlife and I am extremely pleased with them. They are of good quality (aluminum), very sturdy and I'd say as good as the more expensive bipods I have previously purchased for my powder burner hunting rifles. One word of advice on bipods if I may Doc...... If anyone does a lot of shooting from anywhere other than a flat bench, I would highly suggest going with the "swivel" style bipod setup. Even though most all bipods have extendable and adjustable legs to get your rifle 'close' to level on an uneven surface, the one point that you nailed in this video Dr. Russ is the importance of being LEVEL!!!!!! No matter if you're shooting air rifles or powder burners, the importance of having your scope DIRECTLY over your bore when you pull the trigger is absolute hands down paramount for accuracy. I think this is a very often overlooked aspect when sighting in a scope or optic (as well as while shooting) that can make a great shooting rifle seem not so great, when in reality, it is operator error. Something this simple can cause that rifle to "find a closet" as you mentioned..... Long winded again here, my apologies, but I get excited about shooting and also like to help add some useful info when I can. Thanks Dr. Russ (And Dr. Paula for keeping Doc straight!!!!)😁
I bought one of their bipods for my crossbow and it really is fantastic!
@@JGsgarage_unboxings That's really cool to hear more good feedback about CVlife and that you too are a happy customer with one of their products (I am not affiliated with CVlife whatsoever, just fyi....). When I save my pennies up I am going to purchase one of their scopes for my Benjamin Armada, hopefully with a 50mm objective lens because this new .25 Armada of mine, still stock, is a beast!! I'm sure Dr. Russ will be pleased to see he has helped out fellow enthusiasts with his new affiliation with this company as well as the awesome discount he has achieved for us!!! 👍
G A ... you hit the nail on the head ... and thanks for confirming some of the points I made in this video.... Simple stuff that few think about ... but it all works and it all works well... your idea of the mascara wipes is a good one... One viewer said he shoots Q Tips out his barrel.... thanks... Dr. Russ
@@JGsgarage_unboxings Good to hear from you ... I have a Crossbow video coming up in about 30 days... Dr. Russ
@@russjones6497 awesome!!!!
Hey thanks for the videos I really enjoy them I bought a gamo swarm magnum back in the spring. Have you done any videos on how to clean your air gun?
Thanks
Click on Dr. Russ's little picture (the small circle) and it will take you to his page where you can pull up all of his 100+ great videos. He has several videos you can choose from regarding cleaning your air rifle. Just be sure to NEVER use a wire or metal brush to clean your air gun bore (powder burners are a totally different story) since there won't be any carbon build up like a powder burner creates. Wire brushes can potentially damage or scratch the bore which ya definitely don't want to do. Also, for others who may read this, depending on what type of air gun you have, you need to be very careful and cognizant of what you clean your gun with. CO2, PCP, Springers, and gas pistons are all a bit different and can require different types of cleaning agents if you choose to use them if your barrel is dirty enough to warrant doing so. O-rings and seals can be damaged or ruined if the wrong type of lube or oil enters the internals of an air rifle or pistol, just fyi. I usually just run a small diameter plastic rod through my bore several times while pushing or pulling a linen patch with a tight fit. Try to always start at the breech side and push the rod as the bullet would travel down the barrel if you are able to do so. Easily done on a break barrel, not so easy on bolt actions as you will have to pull the patch through. I use a little bit of 100% pure silicone on the last patch or two to help clean and lightly lube the bore. Hope this helps. 👍
When i played paintball way back in the late 80ties, i had a red dot sight on my marker, and it was quite nice for the fast paced shooting ( back then only pump action markers in use here )
I think if i got s PCP pistol i would also prefer a red dot on that over iron sights.
Peashooter ... I just mounted red dots on two of my air pistols ... and it made these handguns heavier ... but far more accurate beyond 10 meters... thanks for sharing ... Dr. Russ
Again, great video May man 😎👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Tom ....Dr. Russ
Great Video, Thanks
Jason, it is good to hear from you and thanks for the compliment... some good videos coming... Dr. Russ
Hi Dr.Russ silly question , can you mount a red dot on your scope ,an it be functional and accurate?

Gonna get a gammo soon! Gonna watch your videos for some tips!
Good to hear from you user-vv1zg9pe ... and please let us know what you discover after you get it... my recommendation is a 22 cal versus the 177 .... and secondly ... and in this order.... The Bone Collector .... The Fusion .... The Maxxim... Dr. Russ
Great video, as always. If I keep it up, I may just learn how to be a hunter. Well Dr Russ, I'm 71 years old and my hunting days are coming to an end. But that does not mean that I have to stop shooting, which I still
love to do. I think I may like a air rifle, cheaper ammo & less money for the rifle usually. Thanks for the great video, I will be watching for the next.
Breakandrun70 ... it is great to hear from you ... and you are not alone in reaching this way point on your journey. I recommend a break barrel for your first air gun... it does not have to be a multi-shot like Gamo, Crosman and Hatsan has... but if you can afford one of them ... then go for it. I also recommend the 22 cal versus the 177 cal. It will save you the price of an air rifle as your journey progresses ... and the 25 can terminate medium size critters. Please keep us in your air gun experience loop ... Dr. Russ
Hello Dr. Russ, hope all is well. I know you put alot of time and even your own money into these videos. I just wanted to say thank you. It's hard to find Honest opinions on air gun's or advise nowadays Ive watched other folk's videos before my (Gamo) purchase, and most of them made it quite difficult.
Bruce Price.... it is good to hear from you and thanks for the compliment .... Thanks ... Its notes like yours that keep us going....Dr. Russ
Dr ross es un gusto ver sus videos yo estoy decepcionado con mi rifle rompe miras y nadie se hizo cargo de ayudarme yo compre un gamo swarm magnung 2da generacion y me ha roto 6 miras de cualquier medida y ahora el rifle solo pega arriba y le puse unas alzas a las anilletas y solo así lo.puedo disparar por cierto aquí en el salvador me costo 660 dolares
Gracias Hermano ... Su Gamo Swarm Magnung 2da generacion es a buen rifle. However, the regular iron sites on su Gamo require scopes to look over them. With your scope y scope rings ... if possibly ... ustead can compre high rings that permit ustead to look under su scope Y still see the iron sights too... then those are the rings you want. Secundo, this extra height requires ustead to shoot targets father out than 25 meters ... perhaps 35 or 40 meters ... before su pellet can raise up to where the scope is aiming.... y then the pellet drops back down because of gravity and crosses the scope aim line 70 to 80 meters... allowing you to be accurate at both approximente 40 y 80 meters... Ustead have to use heavy pellets ... and probably slugs to slow your 177 or 22 Gamo Magnung down to be very accurate. Store your air gun with the barrel down... so that small lead y dirt will not fall down the barrel and into the air compression parts... this will cause your air gun to quit shooting ... and it cost ustead mucho dinero. Gracius Luiis por commenting on me video... Dr. Russ
Your English is very good Dr. Russ.
Franklin Alagala ... it is good to hear from you ... and thank you for the compliment that Ive never heard before..... Dr. Russ
Hello, great video. I have a question. I live in a small town and have no access to expertise except CZcams. I have just the one rifle, a Gamo Swarm Fusion Gen 2 .177. I have about 300 shots under my belt, and I am trying different pellets to get the best groups. I live in town and currently have no interest in hunting or knock down power, just target shooting. I am doing my shooting at 20-25 yards, the size of my lot, nothing farther. I am having some good results with Sig Flat 7.7 pellets. I think you also called them wad cutters. There is not much information out there about flat pellets. What can you tell me about wad cutters? Are they for pistol shooting? They make such neat little holes in my target. They seem to be more stable and forgiving. It makes me look good. I can stand a lot of that.
Bill Emshoff 9325 .... it is good to hear from you ...yes, we refer to those flat nose bullets, slugs ... and pellets as "Wad Cutters".... and yes they make perfect holes in targets ... and easy to score as it is easy to determine whether they touch inner or outer target circles. They are also very accurate and are used almost exclusively in competition... determining who won or came in second. They can also kill critters at 20 - 25 yards in 177 caliber ... and I think they will hurt a burglar bad enough that he will turn away. In fact, in the excitement of a robbery, he will likely think that he has been shot by a traditional bullet ... and head for a hospital. Continue to use them .... a video soon to be launched reminds our viewers that air guns are cool until they no longer work... and that often happens after lead scrapings and dirt drop down the barrel and into the air compression chamber ... something few gun repair men can fix... So be sure to wash your pellets... continue to lube with the same oil or silicone so that their speed continues to be the same... and then most importantly, store the gun with the barrel down on a rag ... allowing lead and dirt to fall the wrong way. Dr. Russ
I just bought a BSA 4x9 for air rifles. This should spruce up the game a bit.
BSA 4X9 is typically a good scope... let us know ... Dr. Russ
Dr Russ, thank you very much for your informative videos, I’m a new-be to air rifles. I have been doing my homework before I jump into the passion and have seen a lot of your videos to make a semi intelligent decision lol. Along with the plans to invest on a Gamo Swarm Whisper .177 cal, I’ll like to get a better scope than the one it comes with. I’ve heard that if the scope is not made for air rifles it can be easily damage by the different recoil that an air rifle places on the scope. Could you recommend or enlighten me on my options? I will hate to install a good scope that is not design for it. Keep up the excellent work!
Dear Dr. Russ....red dots wash out in the sun where a green does not. In daylight 25,30 yds the red dot disappears but the green will range out 75-100 yds. The not so common blue dot seems to be an in between the red and green dot ranges, leaning more towards the green..
Just saying, (i have various lasers and have tried in all conditions.).
Big Nick ... thanks for the tips ... Dr. Russ
I'm guessing your wife loves the kitchen counter being used as a work bench 😂

My Benjamin prowler can hit a beer can at 100 yards with a cheap barska scope. Its crazy
It is good to hear from you Dustin ... and good scopes can make a great difference in your accuracy capabilities. Dr. Russ
Thank you sir for all this wonderful i formation.
Have you had any problems with the swarm function on this gun? I bought a swarm hornet on last Saturday. Today is The following Friday and the swarm function broke
Are there any differences if you shoot at an angle of 45° up or down at the same distance?
No ... the horizontal line (not the vertical line) between you and the target remains the same... and so the gravity on both scenarios remains the same... and while our thought process likes to believe shooting up would be more problematic ... because physically climbing up is more difficult than down .... but they both are the same. Dr. Russ
Hello Dr Russ ….my currently own a Gamo swarm whisper 10x…my wife went out and purchased a axeon dog soldier scope upgrade as a bday gift…her not knowing that the standard scope mounts that come with the Swarm are to small to mount the new scope…what would be the right mounts for this particular scope
I just want to know how to mount a scope level and plumb your videos are great but long winded I will figure it out by myself
Good to hear from you Kurt ... Dr. Russ
What scope would you recommend for a Gamo swarm magnum gen3i .22 caliber for hunting & targets? Would u use the 1 piece scope rail ? I am looking for mil dot cross hair . Love the videos thank you

I enjoyed your videos. I have a Gamo Whisper IGT .177. Quick question for you, I am not happy with the Gamo scope that came with it. I was thinking about adding a red dot sight for quicker sighting of targets mainly rabbits. What are your thoughts as far as red dot sights and what is a good brand. Can I use the Gamo mounts? Thanks
Jon Cor ... it is good to hear from you .... Red Dots come with their own mounting system and the mounts that came with your Gamo are completely different than the ones used on Red Dots. While Red Dots are excellent for the use you plan with them ... be sure that the mounts that come with Red Dots (10 or 20 mm Picatinny rail) match your Gamo Rifle Picatinny mounting rails, which I believe are 10mm. Let us know how you do ... Dr. Russ
Hello Dr Russ, could you give me the number of that cvlife scope you have in this vidieo? Thanks for your vidieos! My gamo maxim was getting close to having some closet time, but I'm excited again after watching your vidieos.
User - 1c .... good to hear from you .... All of CVLife's scopes will fit and function great on the Swarm rifles (Maxxim and Bone Collector modes are my favorites) Go to their catalog and let your budget be the guide. Keep in mind that a good scope can be used for the rest of your life on most rifles.. Dr. Russ
I just got a GAMO air rifle. I was 20 yard from the target and it was off to the left about 8-9 inches. I adjusted the scope to the right and it still shot in the same spot. I attempted to adjust to the rest 4 times and I wasnt even hitting the target. Went back to the left and now I can’t get it back to where I started from the first shit. Don’t know if I need another scope or not. But do you know if I can use any scope of an air rifle?
Kajukidbo ... yes you can ... the only concern is that Gamo air rifles use a 10 mm wide track on top of the breach for mounting a scope.... and scopes come in 10 mm and 20 mm... and you can use a 20 mm scope but you also need a conversion piece that allows you to do that... around $10 ....found on eBay and CVLife.com .... Dr. Russ
Hi Dr Russ I've watched a few of your great videos, I have a 73' Benjamin 22cal. model-342 pump air rifle, I'm trying to find a set of good quality metal scope mounts for her to mount my Vector Veyron 4-16×44, any ideas of where you think I can go to buy them for this old rifle, also what are the pellet overs/unders at 25yds & 75yds if you zero your scope in at 50yds..? Thanx for any help you can give.e
Rob ... too many variables to calculate from here ... your 1973 Benjamin is a great air gun ... but we dont know what velocity she is shooting at 50 years after she was made. I would recommend that you continue to use iron sights ... or watch one of our newest videos on "all accessories that you need" ... you may want to only add a red dot ... but will likely need a picatinny rail converter to do so... lastly, you need to know where those pellets are going at various distances ... so it is best that you zero in at 50 yards ... then move your target to 25 and again to 75 to determine where those groups are hitting ... Keep in touch and let us know.... Dr. Russ
Off topic....I noticed your stove top. It appears to be a Samsung, I think the same that we have. Have you found a way to clean the cast iron grates that works? My wife, Paula, is going nuts trying to keep them looking good....
Gary... good to hear from you. First ... my wife keeps some foil down below the grates to keep the basic stove easy to clean. Secondly, the grates only get dirty from boil overs ... and not gas burning. It happens to the best of us. She tries not to fill the pans to the top where they can boil over... and she watches the boiling/cooking to make sure that it doesn't get to that point. When it does, she scrapes off whatever she can with a knife or wire brush... and then puts them in the dishwasher about once every two months. Hopefully these tips can help you ... Dr. Russ
@@russjones6497 thx

Gary Kirk Patrick.... while it is good to hear from you ... I am sorry that they have changed their products right when you wanted one of them... While I am sure they have their reasons, I will bring it up with Jill Blake when I talk with her next. Some of their scopes have levels built into them ... that may be the reason why. Dr. Russ
I ended up buying the Laser scope leveling kit, just forgot to use your discount code. I decided that for 100yard targets this was a better idea.
Good video, what do you think of a red dot on a spring rifle? Thank you
Hey Peter. I'll add my 2 cents here if you don't mind. Whatever optic you put on a springer or gas piston rifle needs to be rated for a springer. Springers typically have a "violent" recoil both forwards and backwards, in a nutshell, and are very hard on scopes or optics. You may be aware of the different recoil characteristics of a springer vs. a powder burner rifle, but a springer air rifle can (and most likely will) ruin a nice rifle scope if it is not rated for a spring air rifle (PCP's and CO2 air rifles are a bit different due to almost zero recoil). Hope this helps.
@@gaoutdooradventures and how do you know that ? Thank you
@@gaoutdooradventures , and even some Scopes rated for steel spring powered airguns are broken from the forward-backward kicks. I have no use for steel spring powered airguns. They're outdated.
@@PeterAgostiniJdcap26 , if you don't mind me joining the conversation, it's common knowledge. Study airgun videos and forums. Maybe call a few scope mfgs.
@@senatorjosephmccarthy2720 sorry love spring guns ..
I bought a bone collector 177. Not sure what scope will work. It has a very narrow grove barrel. Weaver? Seems gamo does this to all their rifles. As I just got a gamo whisper rifle and it has a weaver too. The scopes don’t work. Nor do picatinny mounts work on weaver groves. Then there are different size width in each type mount or these groves. So I’m pretty much losing my passion. I can’t go from weaver to to scope. I have to add mounts on top of mounts to make a scope fit that I want to use. I don’t get why there is so much of a problem. And no videos on this. Guess I need to stop buying gamo guns. But why don’t they make their guns with at least a dove tail area so any dove tail mount will fit. You did talk about this a bit in your video. These weaver groves. But the way it works is I buy a rifle and then spend days ordering adapters and converters and even different scopes just to be able to mount scope on the rifle. Send back the wrong ones then buy new ones and send back the wrong ones and order a different scope even that will work with the Adapters I did buy. Back and forth. Days go by. Time flies. Seems like it should be easier. No instructions on how to find and fit a scope or mount that will work with any gun. Guess I’m the only one to ever have scope mounts that don’t work. Great video.
