  • Never owned an air rifle however for some reason in my 70s I suddenly fancy having one and this looks like a very good deal to me and thanks for the insight and advice.
  • @MrJames19676

  • @davidbooth60
    Thanks for that I've watched hundreds of vids and I still come back to the gamo phox That's were my money's going Great vids Keep me coming

    Hi mate, Just heat shrunk that silencer cover that you recommended in your video to my gamo phox and can only say that I'm MORE than happy with the results, what a difference! Disagree with you about saying not the "best budget on the market" though as I've spent 2 to 3 more hundred of £££'s on different ones that still don't come close to the lightweight, or the accuracy, of this superb hammer forged barrel. Exceptional knowledge of air guns/rifles and very entertaining to watch. Well done mate. 👏

    I've had my eye on gamo phox for while now never shot a PCP air rifle before I've always shot Springer's it's time I got myself a gamo phox i really do like the gun cheers for for the update on the. Gamo love your videos
  • They are good accurate guns , worth the money , I had one for 6 months, had 3 jams , but carefully wiggling of the mag , can extract without any damage , a guy at the range had his new one jam on his first session, in the end I got fed up keep topping up the cylinder with air , hence Kral np02 , 160 180 shots per fill ,, nearly 2 hundred quid cheaper, no brainer for me , cheers shaneweightman

    I've acquired one, recently and have found it to be exactly as you say, pin point accuracy, relatively light weight in comparison to other more expensive models, magazine slips in and out comfortably, and you don't feel like you have to protect the stock from scratches at all cost. Not that we would deliberately mistreat a gun," but things happen". After all its a tool to be used, not a work of art. Just a practical piece of kit.
  • 👋🏾sup bruh! Own four of the Gamo urban/phox! Really like this gun brudda 👊🏾😎
  • @djg2315
    Excellent review. Thanks. I'm in the market for a decent budget pcp.
  • @metalheadz07
    Hi Mate fantastic review really well explained when you do the target test could you have the camera on you and the gun maybe the pellet hitting the target on screen also. Really like seeing the gun being fired. Keep up the great work brilliant vid.
  • @davidbooth4708
    I've just bought my mk2 phox from drapers todays. Can't wait to get to the range.

    Many air gunners seem to knock Gamo pcp budget rifles but ive had mine for 12 mths now and find it faultless. Like yourself, I am a springer shooter and my old Weirauch springer HW97K is my go to rifle but recently have branched out into the pcp market and am very happy with my Gamo Phox pcp.
  • @ARPC_jb78
    Cracking vid as per usual my good fellow. I'm a Springer user at present and to be fair probably will be for ever but in saying that have been looking into getting a pcp and the phox is very tempting. Hopefully I'm not over stepping the mark but any chance of seeing you pumping it up to pressure with the stirrup pump? Many thanks and keep the vids coming. 👍
  • i recently bought the gamo Coyote, more or less the big brother of the phox, and it is a truly accurate rifle, but mine prefers the heavier pellets 15gr and upwards, i've also fired the H&N 30gr slugs through it and they performed decent, but 15-21gr seems to be the most accurate. Sidenote, i'm in holland and we have no power restrictions, so mine is putting out around 29,5ft/lb mine also came in a package deal with scope, silencer and pump, but they upgraded my scope without telling me the kit was supposed to come with the standard gamo 3-9x40 scope but in my package they had put the gamo 3-9x40 AO scope, which over here in holland is twice the price of the standard gamo 3-9x40 scope, so that was a nice little bonus. Also the other difference between the phox and the coyote is mine has an adjustable cheek piece, but other than that it's almost identical, how did you put the weaver/picatinny rail on the front of the stock?
  • Good utility gun. The trigger adjustment screw can be swapped out for a longer one which gives you a much cleaner break on the 2nd stage. I also found mine groups better with the barrel-band removed - I use JSB Exact Diabolo 4.53's in mine, and the accuracy is as good as anything 3x the price in sub 12. Power can be adjusted within the legal limit - add a quality scope and this may be all the rig you'll ever need. On the negative side, it is front-heavy and longer than is the fashion these days; this translates to awkward ergonomics in the field. That would be my only criticism - there are many guns out there that are a lot more pointable.
  • I love the Gamo rifles, I'm pretty unfit but you say the pumping is easy if you get the stirrup pump? ATB MMMD
  • you hit the nail on the head with the phox & R10 I have a R10 & got my boy the phox kit and when I shot it I couldn't believe how good the phox is . it's as good as the R10 out to 45/50 yard ....for the money I don't think you could do better
  • Have been looking at buying an air rifle for a while now. Initially looking at the Weirauch HW97k, primarily because springers are more convenient as no pump or bottle required and it's not a bad price for what the reviews are saying is a very accurate and quality air rifle. However, having seen this, I am in 2 minds, as the package deal looks very enticing. Out of curiosity, at what pressure do you start noticing a drop in accuracy with the Phox?

    Hello my friend. I really enjoy your videos, listening to you, agreeing with your points and feeling like I'lm sat next to you in what looks like your gun room. I hope my point doesn't sound like double dutch, but here goes. I really like your rifle there and feel its great kit for the price tag. It's super accurate, lightweight to carry, hard wearing stock, hammer forged barrel, quiet, nice cocking barrel and magazine, all for a very moderate price. I think it's fantastic. For double your money, you would start with beautiful walnut stocks that you really wouldnt want damage, though I doubt, double the accuracy. For triple your money, you could have the beautiful stocks though ironically, I dont think youd have triple the accuracy. In fact, I think your unit could match the accuracy of a popular brand leader at triple its price. However, many air rifles triple the price spend much of their time in the workshop. I dont think your unit will spend much time in any workshop apart from service. Thank you for profiling this great air rifle and showing us how good it really is. It looks super. Thank you, Ian.
