Ten Of The Best

You may have noticed in recent issues that during visits to the SHOT Show and The British Shooting Show, I reported on the relaunch of a ten-shot, mag’-fed break-barrel concept from GAMO. Well, the Swarm 10X system is now being rolled out across all the GAMO break-barrel rifle range, and I’ve managed to lay my hands on one.

It’s not a new rifle by any means; in fact, it’s been around for a few years now, but as far as the relaunch of the concept goes, it’s the perfect choice to review. From the moment I took it out of the box, I just knew I was going to have some fun with this month’s test rifle.

THE SWARM 10X CONCEPT

Until now, there has only been a couple of springers on the market that offered the ten-shot rotary magazine facility. The concept flew under the radar for most people, but a few airgun enthusiasts did pick up on it at the time it was launched. Now, thanks to a new initiative from GAMO, they are rolling the concept out across most of their break-barrel rifles over the coming year, including both springers and gas-rams.

I must say I have been quite excited to have a go with one of these rifles ever since I saw them at the SHOT show, purely for the fact that having a magazine-fed springer seems alien, but because we’re all so used to the idea in PCP rifles, I wanted to see if indeed the concept could travel across reliably.

Just like with a PCP, you can now take ten shots as quickly as you can break the barrel – doesn’t that sound like fun?
