Swarm Magnum 10X GEN3i Inertia Fed .22 Caliber Break Barrel air Rifle. High Power 10-Shot Pellet air Gun. 1,300 fps Velocity.

This is a powerful air rifle, probably too powerful for what I need, but my last air rifle was 40 years ago & things have come a long way in the mean time! On reflection I should've bought the less powerful Swarm Whisper, but like I said I wasn't aware of how far these Nitro Piston rifles have come....not that I'm complaining!It handles well, seems robust, trigger is usable (hopefully it improves with use) & yeah, powerful! It is noisier than I expected, but this thing throws pellets HARD. I'm still zeroing in the scope, but accuracy certainly seems to be there with GAMO Red Top pellets.The scope is cheap & basic, but it works fine, being nice & clear, bright, holds zero & has a good zoom range. I see no need to replace it so it's staying on there.I have to say that I'll probably add the Whisper version, too, as I'm using it for rodent control & for smaller vermin like rats that'd be better, with the Swarm Magnum in 22 cal being best for longer ranges & bigger sized targets. But I'm keeping this one, oh yeah I'm impressed.

Alright, let’s talk about why the Gamo Swarm Magnum 10X GEN3i Inertia Fed .22 Caliber Break Barrel Air Rifle is hands-down one of the most awesome air rifles out there. If you’re into power, precision, and just flat-out fun, this beast delivers in spades.First off, the power—this thing slings .22 caliber pellets at up to 1,300 fps with alloy ammo. That’s serious knockdown force, perfect for small game like rabbits or squirrels, or just obliterating targets in your backyard. The IGT Mach 1 gas piston is the heart of it, a 33mm cylinder that pumps out consistent, jaw-dropping velocity with way less vibration than a traditional springer. Smoother shots, less fatigue, and you can leave it cocked without worrying about wear—try that with a lesser rifle.Then there’s the 10X GEN3i inertia-fed magazine. Ten shots without reloading? Yes, please. The system uses recoil to index the next pellet, so follow-up shots are lightning-fast and seamless. It’s like having a semi-auto feel in a break-barrel package—revolutionary stuff. Load it up, break the barrel, and you’re ready to rock again. No fumbling with single pellets in the cold or heat of the moment.Accuracy? Oh, it’s there. Pair it with the right pellets (Gamo Red Fires or some heavy hitters like H&N Barracudas), and you’re drilling tight groups at 25-50 yards. The two-stage adjustable CAT trigger lets you dial in the perfect pull—crisp, clean, and tailored to you. Add the included 3-9x40 scope, and you’re picking off targets with precision that’ll make your buddies jealous.And let’s not skip the Whisper Fusion tech—dual sound moderators make this one of the quietest in Gamo’s lineup. It’s not silent, but it’s stealthy enough to keep the neighbors from griping while you dispatch pests. The all-weather stock feels solid, with a grippy texture that’s built to handle whatever you throw at it.Cocking takes some muscle (41 lbs of effort), but that’s the trade-off for this kind of power. Once you get the hang of it, it’s a small price to pay for a rifle that hits this hard and shoots this well. Whether you’re hunting, plinking, or just showing off, the Gamo Swarm Magnum 10X GEN3i is a game-changer. Pure, unadulterated airgun awesomeness.

Revising my review. The first cock on the rifle was very stiff. I put it on a bathroom scale and used just the end of the barrel to push down. It was over 72lbs on the scale to cock it, but it has subsequently loosened up a bit. I was impressed at how accurate it was just bolting on the scope and using it. I did have to sight it in a bit and i dont use it at 100yds but its close enough to get the job done. Plenty of power in the shots, im very pleased with it.

This Gamo Swarm Magnum 10X GEN3i Inertia Fed .22 Caliber Break Barrel air Rifle. High Power 10-Shot Pellet air Gun. 1,300 fps Velocity. Was delivered open/used. The package was missing the cardboard on one end and was taped up. The box looked like it was folded up in the garbage. The styrofoam packing was broken. The item was still in a sealed bag however. The scope box wad taped on both ends, but one end was cut open. The contents don't look damaged, and they seem to function OK. I have not mounted the scope yet, so I don't know how it shoots yet. Oh, and the box was just the factory box sitting on my front porch. No plain brown cardboard exterior box

Right out of the box my rifle produced five shots in one inch groups at 25 yards. I bought a variety of .22 sized caliber ammunition and noticed some ammunition accuracy is not as consistent as others. I highly recommend you watch youtube videos first before buying ammo. You can see bench testing examples and you can gain valuable ammo information. This will save you from buying less consistent ammo. It is a good value for the cost. I look forward to expanding the range distance to see how tightly the groups will hold.

I researched guns from gamo, Beeman, crossman(a childhood favorite), daisy and a few others. In my opinion Gamo is the best. Please inspect your product thoroughly before using. I didn't notice the piece missing until I shot a full mag/clip. They say it's not eligible for a return. I dnt want my $$ back, just a gun free of defects. I would recommend this gun as the best .177/.22 air rifle. It has a good scope, shoots very well. There is a 5 year warranty on this gun so I'm going to keep trying.

One of my favorite guns even though it's not even a firearm.
