High Marks for GAMO SWARM WHISPER

hughcassidy · Oct 11, 2022

I recently purchased a Gamo Swarm Whisper for eradicating varmints. Cannot say enough about this air rifle. It only requires a single pump, shoots a .22 caliber pellet (larger than the old standard .177) AND it has a 10 round magazine, so you avoid reloading between shots. You could literally hunt squirrels with this thing and leave your .22LR at home.

Where did you purchase it, and what did it cost? I'm really interested in a good 22cal. pellet rifle.

I ordered mine directly from gamousa.com. Cost was $179. It includes a scope (which I wasn't thrilled with) and a tin of pellets. I arrived within a few days. I've been very satisfied with the rifle and with GAMO in general.

I love the old RWS guns. Hard to beat the thump of that big spring piston. I bought one of the nicer Benjamin nitro piston rifles in .22 a few years ago and I’m still enjoying it. Extremely cheap to shoot and yes, takes tree rats out like a pro. They’re louder than a suppressed .22 bolt action and the range is not as long, but they’re formidable.

Love my fx impact easy barrel change system from .177 to .25

I think that in their price range the Gamos are pretty darn good. Diana and HW are higher quality piston guns but you will pay. I have a Diana 48 that is an absolute squirrel thumper. I also have a few pcp's and they are cool and in terms of pure performance they can be made more powerful than any piston gun. However, at around 21 ft/lb my Diana shoots clean through squirrels at 30 yards so you can take the "real airgun" talk with a grain of salt. You can read endless discussions on the airgun forums about spring piston vs. PCP...Yawn... its like 9mm vs 45. I recommend you go to Pyramydair or one of the other online vendors and check out H&N and JSB pellets. Air Arms and FX pellets also seem to be pretty much the same as JSB. H&N pellets come in various head sizes. JSB are superb and are of a softer alloy than most and tend to be very accurate. Gamo and Crosman and big box store ammo is subpar. Your Gamo air rifle should be a fine squirrel gun especially if you are accustomed to hunting with a rifle. Air guns are fun!
