    Gamo Swarm Magnum precision: 5" at 50 yards?

    I haven't been around airguns very long, but been around firearms for a long time. I agree with the second post by oldspook. Not sure why everyone is saying get a PCP? My son has the same gun, it is very accurate. Never tried to group at 50 yards but he hits a small 3' bullseye sticker I stuck...

    Update for those interested. I sent the Dan Wesson back and used the funds for the Ruger 10/22. Maybe I still didn't learn my lesson, LOL...I'm going to keep going until I find a keeper. Also got a dot sight, never had one before, I'm a bit too excited about it. :)

    Well said. I really wanted that Mauser, but you may have talked me out of it.

    Cherokee, Great post, TY, you are saying what I said, only better! :) Oil | Maintenance - I admit to being a novice here. For powder-burners, a quick few squirts of Remoil and push through of the cleaning rod on the shotguns was all needed. Maybe a bit more with rimfires and rifles (brass...

    spysir, Thanks for the old school recommendations. I had to google the MKI and MKII pistols. They look nice and solid and they seem to have a big following. Ebay seems loaded with old and new Crosmans FS, I admit that don't know much about the companies models, history and which models are...

    I have my eye on that Mauser. :) where you see big, heavy, I see cool! I've looked at the R7, but mostly, I'm pretty happy with my current break barrels. We really think the Gamo Swarm Magnum is a heck of a gun. Looking more at the CO2 stuff, for instance , I really want to pull the...

    Steve, If what you say is true, that is pretty sad. These are iconic guns that the average person does not get to own. And some are Full/ Auto. I was initially happy they were so affordable, but I would be willing to pay more if that is what it took. They seem to be on the right track, lots of...

    Thanks for sharing your perspective. I don't want to steer you away from the Lever action cowboy rifle, thing is cool as heck. Same with the others, that catch my fancy, the features and cool factor are incredible. I guess I just wasn't expecting the reliability to be so poor. And I'm not...

    Thanks for the feedback, guys, to your points and some detail from my side: Purpose or Intentions - We are mostly just enjoying pinking and target shooting. No intentions of hunting or pest control right now. I "think" I am buying the intended brands for this, no? I mentioned replica's. I do...

    :) Hi all, Pretty new to Airguns, but been around their powdered brethren for a long time. Not sure where my introductory post goes? I won't recite all that again, but a quick summary is that my 19 yr old son and I and a few of his friends have really gotten the bug and have been...
