New guy here. Used a AceTech AC5000 chrono to clock JSB 14.3 grain pellets out of a Gamo Fox. Only averaged 630 fps for 6 rounds. Is that normal for that gun?

Well that’s their version of a youth model I believe. Also 630fps for 14.3 is pretty darn good. More then enough for any conventionally practical reason you’d want an airgun. Question really is what’s the 5 shot group like at 20 yards?

Thanks 270. Haven't grouped at 20 yards yet, only at 5 yards to get going. It's about 5/8" for 6 shots offhand. And I think most of that is trigger (it's not a 2.5lb AR-15). But I've taken grey squirrels out to 18 yards with a 2" low hold from the Chair Gun app.

If you want to keep it and make it a shooter you’ll need a GRT. That I assure you will be worth the money.

Had to look it up, Gas Ram Technology. I knew this would turn into more money. Looks like Stoeger makes a couple of models. Comes with a Picatinny rail, so I have lots of AR-15 scopes laying around, and it says you can leave it loaded for a long time. This model is only $200 with a factory sighted 4x16 scope! I could pop an ant at 50 yards with that glass. Out of stock, of course....

Oh god no. I’m sorry! GRT : Gamo Replacement Trigger. It’s a CDT Charlie Da Tuna product. I’ll always buy GRT-III or 4 for my Gamos.
Id actually like the model you have. It could be turned into a nice light smooth shooter I believe. I’ll end up with a swarm system eventually. Wouldn’t be surprised if I replaced the gas ram for a spring either. Just to be difficult mostly but also to have more tuning variables.

Ok, thanks. All this terminology is new to me. And just like any entry level AR-15 platform, they all need a much better trigger and a nice piece of glass. That trigger is certainly affordable, think I'll order one. By the way, looks like the Swarm Fox has been discontinued, all the websites are showing out of stock, and it is not listed at Gamo.
