Fantastic review Thank you. I bought a GAMO GX-40 a few days ago and knew nothing about it! The specialist shop I bought it from said they were a perfect introduction to target shooting and it looks like it was great advice.

very interesting, and I think not only for me, to compare Gamo gx-40 and air venturi avenger, in caliber 5.5

@travel4414 3 года назад

Nice review. The GX40 appears identical to my Gamo Phox, which I am really pleased with. My .22 Phox puts pellet on pellet at 25 yds (no wind). Be aware that because of the stiff cocking, it is easy to put two pellets in the barrel. Give it a good hard pull and no problem.

@alphamilitaria2756 3 года назад

Hi.Yes, very similar. Thanks for watching.

@jasonyates9552 2 года назад

Yes I did it to but no problem since

@MudMaxMetalDetecting 2 года назад

Brilliant review. I think this is the first PCP for me. I like the Kral NP02 and NP03 but I don't think there's a lot between them, but this is Gamo/BSA and I feel a bit more confident buying a more established brand. The weight is good too, no problem walking and stalking. I also prefer this to the Phox package because its cheaper and you can add better quality scope and silencer. Do you think I'm making a sound choice? Thanks ATB MMMD

@nlmeireles5109 3 года назад

hello Richard,Thanks for the review.without a doubt one of the best PCP on the market,at your price,I like the BSA brand.already Gamo has days.no doubt that to use at home you must have a suppressorr.Cheers

I agree i use bisley magnum in my gx40 .177 and pellet on pellet 35-40 yard no problem. Taking squirrel head shots 50yards no problem to.

@TheLandbo 2 года назад

If you have a Gamo GX-40 in .177 that is not regulated down in Joul adapted to some country's laws, it shoots best with a heavier diabolo pellet that weighs 10+ grain. 😉

@ianwoods1384 5 месяцев назад

It looks extremely great value. Thank you for your review. I'd guess its more or less a BSA R10.

@alphamilitaria2756 5 месяцев назад

Hi Ian. The GX40 is a great affordable rifle, but the R10 is a few steps up the ladder! And then there's the R12 which I know you know all about!

@Johan1501 2 года назад

Hi, what's the muzzle energy of this rifle? Is it 40 Joule or less because you are using it with cal 4.5mm?

@Honourable66 2 года назад

Really find your reviews are great, as it is i'm currently looking for my first rifle and my head is spinning, i've kinda narrowed it down to either a Gamo or the ATA Airborne which i'm leaning towards, would you recommend one over the other.

@alphamilitaria2756 2 года назад

Thanks very much. I'm glad we could help. The ATA Airborne is a great rifle. So too are the Gamo Phox and Coyote. In terms of performance, there is very little between them in terms of performance. It really comes down to which one you want - neither is a bad decision. Also, what you want it for. The ATA is quite heavy which is something to bear in mind if you plan on hunting, especially as the Gamo rifles are quite light. You might also get better after sales service from Gamo (BSA) if something goes wrong. If it was me, I think I'd go for the ATA as I was genuinely impressed with the quality of engineering for the price. Take a look at the Kral NP03 as well though (we reviewed it on the channel as well). In truth, as I say, there is no wrong decision. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful...

@jtownboy8221 5 месяцев назад

Being trying to figure out, is the GX40 better than the GX-250 in terms of accuracy and value for money or the other way round, but the Coyote is still king in my opinion!

@alphamilitaria2756 2 года назад

We're glad you found us too! The NP500 is a great rifle. Lots of stock adjustment and proven action. Its quite a large rifle and although it lacks a little of the sophistication of more expensive rifles, it does the trick, is plenty accurate and good value for money. Please come and see what else we have!

When will Gamo release a .25 cal non regulated pcp. Out all my rifles I love my Gamo just little bit more.

@Mrcoldy1988 2 года назад

Thank you sir. I have a question. I would like to know, what is the optimal range of such rifles before the bullet starts falling down too much? Also, do you have information about the precise power of that rifle? Most shops just say about

@alphamilitaria2756 2 года назад

Hi. Range is a subjective thing. For hunting live quarry, my own view is that at 12 ft/lbs (16 J), 30 metres is the maximum range in .22 and 40 metres in .177. It is possible to shoot longer distances, especially with .177, but I would only do so at targets and not live quarry. I understand that where laws allow, the GX40 is available up to 40J (around 30 ft/lbs) most probably in .22 calibre. At that level, I'd be happy to hunt out to 55 metres. If you are thinking of hunting, my advice is to spend time on the range shooting in all the different positions you expect to hunt from in order to work out you own capabilities at different distances (10 shots out of 10 within 2.5cm). But don't make the mistake of thinking that just because you can hit spinners sitting down, resting your rifle on a bench means you can take shots at live quarry at the same range. I hope that helps.

@Mrcoldy1988 2 года назад

@@alphamilitaria2756 Thank you very much :)

@Johan1501 2 года назад

Okay, I scrolled down and read it's a 16 Joule. In our country you almost only can buy the 5.5mm cal version because it has 40J

@alphamilitaria2756 2 года назад

Hi. The Gamo website quotes 27-40 Joules...I hope that helps. I'm guessing 27J is .177 and 40J is .22. www.gamo.com/en/gamo-gx-40-pcp/#

@martybennett1861 2 года назад

Hi Richard , good review as always, what would be the cause of the split group? Human error, pellets or gun . This happens to me quite a lot

@alphamilitaria2756 2 года назад

Thanks Marty. Its hard to say. I usually find that new rifles need a few hundred pellets through them to get everything settled down. And for sure, variance in the quality of pellets can be the cause too. Its worth checking to see if the pellets that go wayward are the same ones each time as it could indicate an issue with the magazine. If you can, try single shot loading to remove any magazine issue in which the pellet is not delivered properly into the breech.

@toxikrob1618 3 года назад

great vid but is the action not bsa r10 ?

@alphamilitaria2756 3 года назад

I'm sure there are similarities Rob, but the bolt on the R-10 is smoother to operate in my view.

Can I ask how do you get less with 177 then 22 most ever air gun iv seen its always more shoots with 177 and less with 22 and even less with 25 and so on

@alphamilitaria2756 2 года назад

Hi Michael. I wish I could explain why it is (perhaps someone else will) but .177 rifles usually deliver fewer shots per charge than .22). It seems counter intuitive I know, but there you go! Thanks for watching.

Hi Calvin. We also reviewed the NP03 a little while ago. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-It0C0h4v2Ws.html. Both great value rifles. If you can try and get into a shop and see them first hand. Good luck.

@alphamilitaria2756 Год назад

Hi Mike. They are both great rifles for the money. If you can, try and handle both of them to get a sense of what feels right for you. The ATA is regulated whereas the GX40 is not. But the GX40 is a lot lighter. Personally, if I was buying I'd go for the GX40. But plenty of people will disagree and prefer the ATA and I can see why. Sorry I can't be more helpful...
