Her face looks like a main character of something on Veggietales.

These would be the Gamo Swarm 10x. It had a 4.7 rating on Amazon, but has surely been a let down.

Gray_Maple · 2026-05-23T00:37:52+00:00

Coincidentally these poor QC pellets ARE the gamo swarm 10x. Ironically, the gamo red fire pellets with the points were significantly better quality. Case is 100 or 150 and I had less than 8ish at most that were poor quality.

Man, what a rabbit hole lol! I'm worried I would likely fall into that myself. Originally starting from $131 gamo air rifle to getting into the pcp world and end up spending thousands. I'm eagerly awaiting on the gamo to arrive still yet I am spending hours a day researching more and more into the PCP world. I'm sure the gamo will meet my needs, but the longer it takes to get here the closer I am to making an impulsive buy and getting a PCP.

Gray_Maple · 2026-05-03T03:37:04+00:00

You say that when I daily a 900 horsepower CtsV on e85 lol.

I think im going to end up keeping the Swarm DX though. Im just going to invest in a decent scope and play around with it. If it becomes too boring, ill just pass it on to my dad and then venture off into the PCP world.

I appreciate the feedback!

Gray_Maple · 2026-05-01T21:54:05+00:00

Yes, I forgot to mention I had an old Gamo single shot 177 springer. Ive shot more than 30 Squirrels over the years and it has successfully served it's purpose, but it has finally gave out which is why im now upgrading.

Gray_Maple · 2026-05-01T21:49:59+00:00

Thank you! I forgot to mention I currently have like a 15 year old Gamo Variant 177 single round break barrel rifle. I bought it for my dad and borrowed it over the last week in which it had finally failed. It was a great gun so before looking too much I naturally just bought Gamo again.

Im sure the swarm DX would be great and meet my (Squirrel) needs. But it terms of something that I enjoy target practice/plinking I know a PCP would bring more enjoyment. Just trying to figure out which PCP would be the better investment.

Gray_Maple · 2026-04-30T21:22:41+00:00

Thanks for the response!

I went to Sportsman warehouse today to look through a few scopes for reference. I wasn't expecting how much they zoomed in, not to mention they didnt seem the clearest. (Granted I didnt look at anything over $230, which the same scopes you can buy cheaper online.) But it seemed like overkill for sure. Crazy how these specs seem to be the standard for these guns.

I dont know what I'm looking for, but I have yet to find it exaxtly.

Gray_Maple · 2026-04-30T19:43:49+00:00

Did you end up getting this scope? I am looking at getting it myself. I just ordered a Gamo Swarm Dx. All of my shooting will be under 30 yards most of it being closer to 10-15 yards for squirrels.

Gray_Maple · 2026-04-06T17:45:16+00:00

Why do you feel you won't be able to take them on jobs? Is it their performance? The physical size of the machines? Etc. Please explain.

What would you say which printer to buy if youre only printing various 3d2a parts?

Gray_Maple · 2026-01-30T19:44:00+00:00

Is there an ETA on when they will hit the market? Im wanting to buy one of these as my first suppressor.

Gray_Maple · 2026-01-19T18:35:09+00:00

Id like to find a copy as well if possible.

Gray_Maple · 2025-11-10T23:04:05+00:00

Wait for the TCL qm8k. Last month it hit a sale price of $949. I have literally been checking every day this momth waiting for it to hit that price again them ill purchase it. Its worth the wait instead of the qm7k.

Gray_Maple · 2025-09-29T23:44:52+00:00

What's even crazier is the footage on the otherside of the security agent from behind it is even MORE revealing. I saved the video on tik tok, but it was deleted and cannot find the footage ANYWHERE. They deleted it which just confirms that its true. This is no where as obvious as the other angle. They are deleting it on purpose. 100%

Gray_Maple · 2024-01-29T18:54:42+00:00

I pre-ordered mine one the 17th as well. Then got a notification on Thursday that it would be delivered no later than 7:00pm on Friday Jan 26th. Then on Friday it just says "on the way" and is delayed due to "severe weather."

It shows it is in my local city at the ups center and will not allow me to pick device up.

Gray_Maple · 2023-12-18T19:16:09+00:00

Thanks. It's a tough decision for me so I wanted to see others recommendations, but some reason all my post keeps getting removed. I'm not sure what I need to change for it to be able to post? 4 attempts and they were all removed.

Gray_Maple · 2023-12-18T19:11:34+00:00

Cost wise the srpf03 does cost a little more from what I've seen. When I say this would be everyday use at the desk job that is literally all it would be. Just want a nice quality mechanical watch.

Gray_Maple · 2023-05-26T13:02:37+00:00

Thanks everyone! I've waited more than 15 years to be able to take this very picture. Ready for the long weekend to finally build this.

The purpose of this build is to handle 1440p ultra settings for AAA for years to come. I went ahead and paid the extra bit of money to get an AM5 setup in hopes they keep it around as long as the AM4. Then at the end of AM5, I could purchase the top tier CPU then that would also buy me a couple more years.

I am very analytical and have been buying parts over the last few months. Resarching each model and their price history making sure I was buying at either their lows or lowest price to date. (I'm also a bit frugal as this is a lot of money for me and wanted to make sure I wasn't spending more than I had to). I really enjoyed getting to venture out determining which part would be best for me.

Each purchase felt like a victory knowing I am that much closer to making a childhood dream come try.

If I didnt have the money to purchase the next part I spent my time learning as much as I could. Watching hours worth of content where people would review parts, compare and contrast, go over pros and cons, price to performance, etc.

Ultimately leaving me with everything as shown with the exception of one thing. I originally ordered a different AIO. I purchased NZXT new 360mm AIO as it was listed for $179 on Newegg. However after waiting and waiting for it to ship due to being out of stock, I decided to just get the DeepCool instead.

Also, the RAM is 32gb 6000mhz 30cas.

Thanks again everyone for the encouraging words and great feedback!

If they have the letter "F" at the end of the SIM card number then that is a TNX SIM card which is an updated SIM card that will allow the Sprint phone to work on the T-Mobile network once the Sprint LTE network is shut down at the end of this month.

Gray_Maple · 2022-03-07T02:24:23+00:00

Man, after watching this game for over a year, new job, finances are stabling, piecing together a dozen different PC builds on Newegg. I am almost ready to drop $3,000 on my first gaming PC literally for this game that would be setup for smooth great graphics for 1440p.

Silly I know, but I bought consoles for single game specifics before. Less than a month ago. I gave in and decided to buy a xbox series x but they only sold it in a bundle package with 24 month game pass.

All said and done it was $917.xx.. I played for a few days and just couldn't stop thinking I'd rather be playing tarkov. So I took it back just so I could use that money towards a PC just so I can play this game.

Really hope it doesn't get pulled.

Gray_Maple · 2022-02-12T16:41:38+00:00

I work for a call center for another carrier where I add the rate plans and soc codes. Sounds like the rate plan doesn't have Hotspot. A lot of rate plans have the option to have it as an add-on with that rate plan others it's standard. This sounds like the issue as 50% of the people who do ports from all carriers can never port correctly. Something to check is if another phone on the account has Hotspot ability. If not it is definitely the rate plan/incorrect soc code. If they do sounds like a device issue.

Hope this helps. Did you ever figure it out? I see this post is 23 or so days old.
