Gamo Venari — PCP Air Rifle

Gamo Venari Review — The Complete PCP Kit

The Gamo Venari comes as a complete package. You get the rifle, a scope, mounts, a moderator, and detachable bipod legs. This makes it an excellent starter PCP . Gamo manufactures the Venari at BSA’s Birmingham factory. It features BSA’s cold-hammer-forged barrel . The Venari evolved from the gas-ram HPA Mi. Both rifles share the same basic tactical stock . Available in .177 and .22 calibre, this multi-shot PCP uses a 10-shot rotary magazine. For shooters moving from springers to PCP, the Venari offers outstanding value.

Gamo Venari UK — Specifications and Performance

The Gamo Venari UK market receives this PCP in sub-12 ft/lb configuration. Independent testing recorded 11.3 ft-lb in .177 calibre . The rifle produces an extreme velocity spread of just 7 fps over nine shots . The air cylinder holds 480cc and fills to 232 bar. You get 80 shots per fill in .177 and 100 shots in .22 . Overall length is 43 inches with the moderator fitted. The rifle weighs 6.6 lbs . The two-stage trigger is adjustable. The manual safety sits inside the trigger guard for easy thumb operation .

Gamo Venari Features — Bipod, Stock, and Scope

The Venari’s tactical stock includes two removable Picatinny rails on the forend. The supplied bipod legs attach to these rails . Each leg is independent and folds forward when not in use. The legs adjust for height at pre-set intervals . The hybrid stock features a ventilated rubber butt and a fully adjustable cheekpiece . The package includes a BSA 4×32 scope with mounts. Some versions include a Gamo 3-9×40 scope instead . The supplied moderator screws onto the 1/2 inch UNF threaded barrel . The kit gives you everything you need except pellets and air.

Gamo Venari Magazine and Operation

The Venari uses the same magazine as BSA’s PCP range . This 10-shot rotary magazine sits flush to the top of the action. It does not interfere with the scope rail . A small magnet holds the magazine securely in place. There is no sliding catch to wear out . A yellow dot tells you when you are on your last shot . The bolt-action is smooth and not at all clunky . You may hear an audible twang when operating the bolt. This comes from vibration inside the action and causes no performance issues .

Gamo Venari Problems — Honest Owner Feedback

The Gamo Venari has some common issues worth discussing. The dovetail rail is 13mm, not the standard 11mm. Standard scope mounts will not fit . You need 13mm oversize BSA/Gamo specific mounts. Sportsmatch makes compatible rings . The magazine can be fussy with certain pellets. One owner reported jams with pointed pellets and cheaper ammunition . A simple fix is tapping the magazine face down on a table after filling . The supplied bipod legs cannot adjust for tilt . They create a very wide stance. This works best on perfectly flat ground . The trigger has a long first stage and noticeable second stage creep. You can adjust it with basic tools .

Gamo Venari Accuracy and Owner Experiences

The Venari earns consistent praise for its accuracy. One owner achieved pellet-on-pellet, same hole groups at 25 metres . The rifle shoots well with several pellet types. H&N FTT, Bisley Magnums, and Superdomes all produce tight groups . Norma Golden Trophy FT Heavy pellets performed exceptionally well . The Venari will knock over targets and spinners at 45 yards . It has the power and accuracy for rabbit and pigeon hunting . One owner used a Venari for a full year of club shooting. They called it a great gun that served them well . For under £500, you get a very capable hunting rifle with all the extras included .
