Gamo Swarm Magnum 22 max range?

FPM wrote: I have a Gamo Swarm Magnum 22. Shooting Baracuda Power 21gr I can repeatedly hit my 4" target at around 35m but as I go out further I can't hit at all and have to resort to my 22lr. Can anyone offer some guidance on the max useful range for this rifle?

I have a Magnum Gen 2 and have taken down turkeys at 75+ metres using the BSA Max 21.75gr and a Ranger 4-12x40 scope zeroed at 40m. You get roughly 30fpe at the muzzle, so it’s indeed capable. Maybe try switching pellets and progressively increasing your range target distances. I’ve also had great results using the H&N 25gr slugs.

Hope it helps 😃

Man that price caught me off guard!
I took me trigger screw into a bolt shop and brought a longer one for a few bucks cut off the access.
Gun City is making a good profit of those.

No reduction in trigger force.

Trigger is a big factor too. If the trigger is too heavy, or slightly un predictatble, then you can struggle to get accuracy, so maybe some tuning or fettling can help too.
