Two New SWARMS Perfect for Plinking and Small-Game Hunting

GAMO Precision Airguns introduced two new gas-piston-powered, 10-shot autoloading air rifles during 2020 – the super-fast Swarm Magnum and the original Swarm Maxxim – each in Generation 2 of the industry changing Swarm technology. Gamo’s Swarm Technology revolutionized the air rifle industry by using a 10-shot magazine – just break the barrel and shoot. No more fumbling around for another pellet to reload those tired single-shot air rifles. Load 10 pellets into the magazine, snap it in place and shoot. The pellet is automatically fed into the barrel when you break the barrel between shots.

Hog hunting with an airgun

A couple of weeks ago a good buddy of mine Bill Olson who is the publisher for Texas Outdoors Journal lined us up an airgun hunt with Adventures Missions Recreation Properties on one of their ranches in Menard, Texas. I was going to use the new Umarex .50-caliber Hammer on axis deer and then switch to the Umarex Air Saber and hog hunt.
