if you are new to break barrels , understand two things about this rifle. it is not for kids. its too powerful. the other thing is when the Dectective talks about cocking effort it is HIGH. You will be surprised how much effort it takes to cock this rifle. The perfromance however is extraordinary. also - the scope that comes with it is the usual low quality offering, and is hazy at any range. I tried the scope and replaced it quickly.

I never use the Gamo scopes , always replace the first chance I get . Even my .177 is a bear to break open . Also have the 25 caliber and very impressed by the performance . I no longer need my gym membership .

When you get a good Gamo, you get a good rifle. I’ve got an HW90 in .25 which is a superb rifle but it is more than twice the price, heavier, not as powerful and more than twice the price. Great review

I just got my hunter and out of the box I could tell the front sight was twisted out of alignment- I emailed gamo and let them know - I looked up fixes such as heating up the front sight and twisting it into alignment but I don't want to void the warranty - the shipping package was less than desirable- the barrel had punched through the foam and cardboard box - thankfully they used a beefier box to incase the manufacturer's box - both boxes had a crease in the middle but looking at the rifle it didn't damage it - I bought your trigger and the pellets you ranked high - I fired one shot from the hunter into a commercial plastic drum - went right through it into the ground - I could tell this was a serious beast from one shot - and took some effort cocking it - it's definitely not a toy - it's a serious weapon - it's a man killer with right shot placement

Great show, fantastic scope mount tip!

Hey JC!!! Hope you and your family are all well and happy. It's been a while since I had time to watch videos, so I'm going to be binge watching to catch up. I am glad to start off with one of yours. So, off the bat, I was wondering if the Gamo Hunter Extreme in .25 is worth the money vs. a Gamo Swarm Magnum in .22 because the power plant is the same, and with the SWARM, you have quick follow-up shots, a lightweight, all-weather, rugged, synthetic stock , AND the fpe is essentially the same. Personally, I think not. I do like the beautiful wood stock of the .25, though. If Gamo put a SWARM mechanism and kept iron sights on it, I would buy that version in a heartbeat. But going from .22 to .25 doesn't seem to have that many advantages. More accuracy and stability in windy conditions, and possibly farther ranges can be achieved with heavy slugs. What are your thoughts? Is it worth it to move up in caliber if I already have a bunch of .22 airguns? Thanks for another great video. Stay Safe. Be Well. GOD BLESS.

@AirgunDetectives

Hi Ken, I hope you and your son are doing well! If you don't own a .25 caliber, you should. The power is fantastic. Picture the difference between a .177 and a .22. Going from .22 to .25 is a comparable difference. These are great hunters as well and the wood stock is amazing. 😉👍👍

I've got the .25 after firing 300 plus rounds with mixed pellets the 21.75 that Gamo supplied they slowed down to around 655 fps I live in NC the predator gto 16.54 are 850 fps at 75 they can do 1.5 groups I've got a h&n that weight is 20.09 gr I try next

If you find a pellet which your barrel likes and groups far better than the rest it's a good idea to buy more tins with the same batch number if possible.

Awesome Gamo Rifle. I have seen other shooters have good results with the AEA Pellets. Going to have to check some of those out. I would like to see you shoot some of those AEA pellets out of the other Gamo rifles you have such as the Gamo Bone Collector. You are getting as much power out of that as my Air Arms S510XS in .22 caliver. Nice review. Your CAT Trigger Screw is a nice addition to the Gamo.

Not accurate in this rifle!

An air gun scope without a parallax adjustment is literally pointless.

The RRR is just a marketing gimmick and does not reduce any recoil. The front part gets fastened to the rifle's dovetail and cannot move, so what is it's purpose? It is just a riser.

OF COURSE on the video it’s one hole as fraction of the size of the .5 inch groups you said the chosen pellets shot. Well maybe slightly smaller 🤷‍♂️. People that put any weight other than entertainment in this channel are crazy. Lol Every gun you have ever done tests exactly the same.

But I'm not paying for the "extras" that serve me zero value.
