I bought this rifle in March 2020 and, to date, have put maybe 300--400 rounds thru it. The loading mechanism failed after only 4 months of use - it failed on July 4, 2020. Less than 4 months .... a shame. The little springs on the side of the device pop out of their holes every time you cock the gun and then the pellet doesn't load correctly and drops out. You can still use the gun as a single shot break barrel but that's NOT what I paid for or wanted. I already had that. An internet search about this issue led to many others that had the same problem. Go ahead, google: Gamo broken loading mechanism" and you'll see a bunch of problems.
Repeated inquiries to Gamo customer service went without a response and that, to me, is a major failure of the company. I'm still hopeful, but have started to consider the BBB and the Consumer Protection Agency for my next steps.
Pros
holds it accuracy pretty well out to about 25 yards, no drift on the scope once mounted and sighted in, lightweighter == easy to handle even for begginers. Plenty of stopping power for pest control
Cons
Customer service is horrible with Gamo if you have to deal with them directly.
My first time dealing with Airgun Depot. Had couple questions before I ordered. Matthew and Erika responded quickly and did a great job of clearing up both issues. Happy with the service, product I bought, and price. Will be doing business with them again.
Pros
Like a lot about this rifle. The 10 round cylinder is definitely a plus. Rifle weight is good and comfortable to hold. Very accurate and almost shot zero out of the box; scope needed little adjustment. If it shoots this good with other pellets I've ordered will be very happy.
Cons
Wish the trigger was adjustable for weight as well as travel. I'm picky about trigger pull but knew this when I bought it so not really a con. Rifle shoots very well as is so won't be a issue. Just a personal preference for me.
Pros
LIKE VERY MUCH THAT I DONT NEED TO LOAD PELLETS ONE AT A TIME SINCE IS A 10 SHOT REPEATER AWESOME RIFLE,,,,IVE BEEN KILLING IGUANAS IN PUERTO RICO
Cons
NUTTING AT ALL IS GOOD RIFLE
Pros
It is my first rifle and I am very happy with it ... Strength and precision in shooting, excellent design and very good weight
Great pellet rifle. It has good power and is very very accurate I can hit a marble at 25 yards every time with the stock scope that I haven’t even sighted in before but have killed many squirrels with. Also using cheap crossman domed pellets witch work great in this gun. Also the 10 shot magazine makes this a perfect gun for hunting and target shooting and the gun is very quiet and I can shoot in my suburban backyard with no problems. Cocking effort is not much at all and a 9 year old could do it, though the gun is a little heavy but it makes it feel more sturdy and expensive. I also killed a pigeon at 65 yards but after 75 yards I think it would become inhumane.
Pros
All
Cons
No iron sights if you like iron sights
Extremely accurate piece. Quality scope that sights in easily. Magazine is awesome. Domed,
Hollow Point, Pointed, High performance pellets all work perfectly in this mag. Terrific
velocity. Pricing for this product is as good as it gets.

None to speak of!
Got this Air gun today from Airgun Depot in .22 Very fast shipping.
Man you will see the power of this airgun when pellet hits the target,realy good built quality and price Man they sould sale it for $400.
But its only $200....
I am an avid shooter but never owned a Air Pellet Rifle or Pistol. I did not want to mess with CO2, Air Cylinders or pumps. That left a quality barrel break. After doing research, I settled on the Gamo Swarm Maxxim in .22 Cal. I was not disappointed. It zeroed quickly, the scope is easy to adjust for zeroing and it maintained its accuracy at 25 yards. I also purchased 3 additional magazines. The magazine reload and pellet loading system works extremely well.
This is a quality Rifle and system.
I plan to use it to hunt small game and target shoot. I expect, based on the quality and rugged manufacturing, the Rifle will last.
Pros
Design, construction and quality
Pellet loading system
Magazine
Operation
Adjustable 2 Stage Trigger
Cons
(1). Not really a CON but cocking the break barrel for the next shot could be tough for some shooters.
(2). Scope mounting. Again a nit. Gamo gives you a Scope Lens Cover(s) but you have to break open the barrel to get the front cover off. Moving the scope back slightly fixes that mounting flaw. Or, you can just live with breaking the barrel to remove.
Nice to have a repeater with 10 shots with this much power.
Pros
Multi shot. Lightweight. Powerful.
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.Rifle rated at 1300 fps. Do I have to use gamo's pb platinum Pellets to get this speed?
asked Keith from USAWill the magazine accept all or different types of pellets? IE plastic body, hollow point, ETC?
asked Miguel from USAMagazines will not accept all pellets. Most wadcutters,Hollow points ,and domed will fit the magazines. To shot the extended point types like the polymags you have to shoot the shorts. Some slugs may fit, The heavier the slug the longer it gets and the greater the chance it will not fit in a magazine.
Mark from USADoes this come with any clips for the 10 round autoloader?
asked Kenneth from USAYou get one clip with the gun. It is not an auto loader. It is a magazine feed single shot gun. You have to cock to load each shot.
Mark from USAWill this shoot the Gammo Roundball 22 cal?
asked Kenneth from USACan I purchase extra magazines for this rifle?
asked David from USAYes. AGD-A7758 $14.99 or AGD-A316 $14.99
Mark from USAI want to shoot night time when rats are more active; I was thinking the DIY scope mounted camera, 5" LCD screen, and IR light. Is the recoil of a break barrel IGT dwarm Maxxim going yo be a problem for that night vision setup?
asked Bruce from USAWe can not answer that. A factory night vision scope should hold up, Other aftermarket assemblies we have no experience with.
Mark from USAWhat would be a good ammo for the Gamo swarm maximum igt
asked Leau from USAA mid weight domed pellet in either calibers, JSB's,Air Arms,H & N. These are good brands to try.
Mark from USAwhat is the difference between gamo swarm wisper 10shot and gamo swarm maxxim igt
asked gerryCan you ship in philippines?
asked Johnmar contrerasalmost every time i break the barrel to reload, a pellet will load but one also falls on the ground.. anyone have this problem? if so how do you correct this issue? thanks Zbill
asked Bill stephenson
