You’re alway putting out the videos I’m always looking for.

Great channel,live the information and honest reviews... I went with .177 for plinking... Keep the videos coming...

Just asked on another of your videos about this exact topic. Sweet thanks brother!

Excellent tests!

Yes this is the video I’ve been waiting for

thanks for the vid. i went with the .177

Excellent vid man. You answered all my questions and heavily influenced my choice. I appreciate you. Thanks.

Thank you, Very good test 🙏🌹💯

Great review! I was on the fence on those two calibers. Same Gamo model though. Going .22!

This video is great, it help me decide cause i wasn't sure!

Love the channel ! Thank you for making good videos that help to determine which rifles are worth the purchase. I got into air rifles because of your reviews and because I enjoyed watching the squirrel master competition.

Yesterday I was able to find a Gen2 Magnum in a stack of Gen3i Magnum’s. I grew up with open sights. I wasn’t happy to learn that GAMO got rid of the open sights on the Gen3i’s. I was able to pick it up for $249.99.

Both are great guns!!👍

i like them.. i'll buy again.. my gen 1 in trash long time ago.. but i try this gen 3 again.. i trust your view .. my accuracy is most important thing i want.. i need only 15 or 17 yard away.. i think it's will be fine.. 👍.. thanks Sir..

Great video!! I loved it. Can't wait to own one of these!😇

The first time I shot my Benjamin Vaporizer airgun rifle, free standing, scope not mounted nor needed, I dented a stop sign at 88 yards. It shoots at about Mach 1.3. I mounted the scope but have nowhere to sight it in around these apts. I like my iron sights much better. The scope is 3 power with nice cross hairs, and super nice windage and elevation, so I guess I'm gonna hafta learn how to sight it in somewheres.

Amazing how different brands of pellets shoot differently. Best is to shoot them all and pick a winner. Then shoot only that pellet!

😂8:29 thanks for the video, been on the fence on figuring out which I would use

Man great video!

Very good video. Greetings from Niš, Serbia.

well done!!

second time watching great video I now have a Gamo replay 10X Magnum on its way, looking forward to shooting bough. Had to up grade the scope on the Gamo Varmint,, Hopping the one that comes with the Magnum is good so I do not have to replace it wright away funds getting on the short side, Hear in Canada we pay a lot more for the rifles and ammo than you do in the USA almost double. And good Air Rifle scopes are hard to get hear.

Glad to see those beautiful watermelons were not wasted.

I find the poly tipped pellets works best in my Umarex 177 ! Only thing that beats them are darts !

Cool video. I wish we could have a bone collector gen3i vs gen2.

I own the 177. I love it!

My very first air rifle was .177 gamo fusion, and I just ordered the .22 cal gamo magnum😎

great video could you try rws Super Hollow Point in the .177 ?

Bought the Gen3i .177 caliber recently. Going into it knowing that really the only major complaint about this rifle was the Gamo scope that came with the rifle. No turret/adjustment knobs. The other was no front sights. I am scope guy so, not a deal breaker. Some had no problem with the scope, and some did. I had issues with the scope shooting high. I had made some little shims to slide in between the front ring and the front of the scope. I started bringing down the shot pattern. I had intentions of replacing the scope when I bought it, so no big deal. Even when my shoots were high, they had a nice grouping at 30 yards. The break barrel does require I think about 40/45 pds of pressure to charge it. Overall, I am very pleased with rifle.

How about a test to see if loading pellets into the barrel manually are more accurate than through the magazine.

WowI wish I could give it more stars.This gun is awsomeI added a red laser scope, so dope

Nice review again but those watermellons the family next door the lady that lives there does have the same great watermellons. And making a choice between those 2 great gamo airguns is almost impossible for me want them both love the gamo brand.

great video

Hello Ben, In regards to those GAMO rifles, I heard that the rifles are not the problem; but rather, it has been the quality of the riflescopes that come with them. In fact, many new owners switch them out for higher quality ones; and once they do, they are perfectly pleased with the results of their shooting! ... That's of course if you exercise regularly! Because breaking the barrel on these rifles is not for any weaklings!

You can’t go wrong with either caliber both did well

It's important to know that each and every Springer will prefer a certain brand of pellet you must find out which one yours shoots best

Love it

Thanks.

Great video Beb

The best airgun springer is the Diana 52. Cal.6.35 allround hunting with this ( no compromise) accurate and very very powerfull!!💪💪💪💪

Hello! Very good video. Can you please make a video and more different ballistic gel pellets? I have a gamo black cat 1400 .177 and can't decide if I should buy the .177 or the .22 (I won't be hunting with it). And another question. Are these magnums stronger in the US than in the EU at full power? And should I prefer gen 2 over gen 3? Tested the .22 gen 2 at a friend's today. I tested it with various specialty pellets like Elko GREEN EXPRESS Diabolo 0.67g, exploding pellets Kvintor Diabolo FLASH and Metalmags. Then I shot equivalent pellets like these out of my black cat 1400 and for example the .177 exploding Kvintor Phantom pellets did very little damage while the .22 Flash went through a 2cm wooden plate and nearly did a 2mm aluminum plate. Elko were completely insane. It shot through a 2 cm wooden board and then another. With the aluminum plate, it went like a knife through butter.

excellent video mane

Nice Ben. Great analysis on the rifles. How is the BSA holding up to the magnum's recoil? Still going strong on my BC Gen II.

If you get one of these rifles, just be aware it definitely takes some muscle to break it over and over. It's a workout lol.

I find myself shooting at lots and lots of various ranges.. also I diesel my pellets regularly. WD-40 soak and then patroleum injected in the rear via a small syringe and wiped smooth with your thumb directly after loading the breech. Smacks hard and at 125 yards shooting at my pond, it decreases my pellets/bullet drop by two vertical feet or so consistently

I agree on your findings..Here in Australia..we can only buy the gamo magnums in gen 1...we never got the gen 2 much less gen 3..I have both in gen 1..they are fun and the 177 is more accurate and pellets are exactly half the price of 22 pellets. $15 a tin of 500 in 177 and $15 for a tin of 250 in 22.. I enjoy the challenge of shooting them compared to my 2 gamo gas ram models, the roadster gen 2 in 22 cal and the speedster gen 2 in 177. Both these gas ram models being significantly more accurate..probably because they are so much easier to shoot..no herky jerky recoil and much easier to cock..really great guns all of them, but all quite different...and the difference and the challenge that brings, is where the fun is at for me

As far as red fire pellets, there not bad but I shoot the rocket pellets in.22 cal, way more knock down at 40 yards, quarter size groups at 45 yards with a ruger with upgraded scope

It would be interesting to see 👀 how the .25 do. A .177 & .25 them.. 177 for practice keep skills sharp & .25 for hard hitting

My Gamo Swarm Magnum Gen 2 in .22 seems to eat whatever dovetail to picatinny mount I put on. It kicks the hell out of everything I put on there. Stop pins bent or cracked in half... rails sliced like an orange peel. It shoots really hard and I love it, but man.. no mount survives this thing. Gamo, if you are reading this.. please mill a 1913/Picatinny Rail on the receiver of these rifles. They should come with that rail from the factory and not with that weird dovetail they come with.

In my country Bulgaria 22cal. comes with red band. i got my Gamo Magnum swarm x10 22 cal. gen 2 yesterdey, and it came with red band, maybe it depends of country i dont know

.22 is my fav 👍

thnx just got the 177 cal swarm 1650fps from Cabela's, what about 75 yards ? 100 yds ?

A wonderful Presentation. Thanks. Its so sadly, here in germany it is not allowed. Whe have a permit at to 7,5 Joule......... ;( ;(

More videos of the .177 please

The Gamo rifles are very good only change the scopes. I prefer the .22 great power .

want bough a .177 witch I have the Gamo Varmint and looking to betting .22 Thinking the Gamo Whisper fusion mach 1

I saw another video the owner punched out the rubber holes on the stock. pros? cons?

Is the H&N Baracuda FT 9.57 for .177 the best pellets for the best accuracy on 25 yards? i got a Gamo Mach 1 1250 Hunter and i try to find the best pellets for accuracy for it.

I run 16 grain JSB’s in my 177 and 18 grain in my 22. The 177 just seems more powerful.. is louder, more shock. Anyone else with both feel this way?

Awesome video bud. I’m going to say after watching the comparisons it’s hard to decide but if I had to pick it would be……. Both

Got a .177 Benjamin prowler I’m boutta go get a .22

Remember , the crack of the sound barrier is very noticeable in a backyard situation.

Both are running at 21 to 22 FPE. But as you say, .22 have more SHHMACK!

When we first shot our .177 it was loud like a regular 22 rifle, my question is should I lube it? I read somewhere not to dry shoot it but I’m not sure if that meant don’t shoot with no pellets or not to Shoot without lube?? Thanks

If you fold the rifle over as to load it I was wondering how many inches long and wide the airguns measurements are folded as to potentially fitting into a 100 litter survival rucksack. Could you do the measurements on a folded gamma.

I want to ask you something and I really hope that you will answer me on this one. * I can see the way you hold the Gamo on the bench, but do you hold it lightly of a bit harder in your shoulder. * In this test the .22 delivers 22 fpe but in another video you tested another Gamo Magnum .22 is it delivered about 26 FPE. Is the difference because of inconsistency of the power output of different guns or are there other factors causing the difference? Thank you.

I shoot my gamo .177 at 50 yards and am more accurate than that. But great vid want to get a 22 now

Just got an i mean not but 15 min ago they delivered my magnum pro. OMG Its a work out for sure. 10 rounds. SMOOTH firing fast accurate. 10 of 10 will shoot again

I need a 22 how can i order one of them

Does the cocking effort ease up after a certain amount of shots? I have about 60 shots through mine (.177) at the moment.

I have .177 damn powerful 🥰🥰

Man I swear it just amazes me how easily you break those things lmao is there any difference in effort from the .177 to the .22?

I just got my replacement Gen3 .22 in the mail yesterday. It came with the same problem of the as the first. The green clip to hold the mag in comes broken in the box!

Can you make a video with the targets you shoot and your various backstops? I am making a backyard shooting range and just wanted some ideas. Thank you!

What are 177 and 22 parameters?

I want this gun .177

I thought these boasted 1600+ fps for the .177 and 1300 avg fps for the .22. I was checking out gamo today

Oh yeah

Wanna see the grouping at 70 yard by .177

Is there any difference in power between the gen2’s and the gen3l magnums ?

Send me a link to order one of them rifle

As a backyard plinker in the city I'm concerned about noise. Which one is quieter?

Less than 20 cents for the pellets. More than $2.00 for the melons if you bought them. 🙂Experience, priceless.

.22. How much is the price?

I saw that you have to break the barrel each shot. I thought you could shoot several times by breaking the barrel once. Also, I saw in the package that Gen 3i is 1300 fps for .177 and 1000 fps for .22. Is it wrong advertisement, or you don't have the gen 3i ?

does a .22 pellet drop more than the .177 the further the distance?

Not a bad grouping …mostly

How do those shoot with cheap ammo like daisy and crossman cheap bulk pellets?

Physics, the energy in the .22 is much higher as the “track” trajectory of the pellet shows….what the M16 bullet or AR 15 would do.

I need a link for delivery in my country belize

9:03 open sights

You really don’t want a pellet to break the sound barrier. Accuracy can be destroyed when the pellet goes trans and then sub sonic. The 22cal will break the sound barrier, so any “speed advantages” the 177 can show are pretty worthless. If you are shooting pellet above sound barrier then you never want it to go subsonic. So a super sonic 177 would be limited to ranges where it can never drop below the sound barrier. Why would you ever want that! 22cal all day!

What state are you in?

Hello im a golf course superintendent have a major infestation of wood chucks I bought the gammo gen 3 swarm 10x magnum in .177 and put a BSA SCOPE ON IT looking to do head shots at 25/50 yards with the right pellet what are your thoughts

I prefer 177.

I think the 22 cal will kill a deer with a headshot at 30-40 yards... what's your take ?

so all these are basically 4 minutes of angle?

No have to choose between .177 and .22 because we can't go hunting with .177 cal it's illegal in our state we should have .22 😀😀😍

ARE THE GUNS YOU USE STANDARD 12fb power ?

.22 all day
