Just picked up a Gamo Swarm Maxxim air rifle in 22 caliber, and man, I haven't had so much fun plinking in a good while.

This rifle is just beautiful to look at. The durable plastic casing around the barrel, which terminates in a huge muzzle brake, gives the gun the appearance of a big game rifle, or a sniper rifle, but looks are only part of the reason I love this rifle so much.
The ten-round clip system in this gun was apparently designed just last year, in 2017, and it really does work as advertised. You load up the magazine with ten pellets, and thereby eliminate the time consuming step of rummaging for a pellet, and loading it into the breech after every shot, as is done with all other break barrel air rifles on the market.
With this beauty, you simply break the barrel to cock it, and fire, until the counter on the top of the magazine lets you know that you have fired the last pellet. I have run nearly 500 pellets through this gun, and the loading mechanism has not failed even once.
The gun is light as well, weighing in at less than 6 pounds. It is quiet, and has a really gentle recoil, but most of all this rifle is very accurate once sighted in. I read lots of negative user comments about the cheap scope that came with the gun, but this particular one has not shown any sign of losing accuracy on my gun thus far.
I am not affiliated in any way with the Gamo air rifle company, but I am so pleased with this purchase that I felt there would be no harm in sharing this find with other outdoors people who enjoy target shooting without the need to wear ear protectors. The Gamo Swarm Maxxim air rifle is a superb design that I would recommend without hesitation.
