Gamo CFX Accuracy

[kulzy59]

New Gamo CFX fired from benchrest at 20mt using Norica Thor pellets five shot group. Air rifle has only fired 40 shots will test it soon for velocity with different brands of pellets and post the results.As you may well guess I am more than happy with accuracy so far.

My CFX has a 3-12X40 AO BSA scope parallex adjustment down to about 6 mts very clear optics.

Hi Kulzy59,

Nice group from the CFX.

Can I ask, what did you rest it on when shooting that group? There used to be a school of thought that said springers needed to be held, but with the foreward hand supported by a sand bag.

I'd be interested to hear how you set yourself up for that group.

regards, curan.

At the club that I belong to Curan we have benches made of concrete slabs and I have made a rest that I use when I sight in all my rifles I have included a photo of the rest and the benches. I don't have any different method to hold the air rifle than I do with any other rifle that I sight in, just rest the fore end about two thirds of the way down the stock from the trigger and grip the stock lightly and concentrate on the sight picture, I also make sure that the butt does not touch the slab only cradled in your shoulder.

Is that a lawn mower engine mount? Nice group mate!

Kulzy,

Good effort. Have a look at these triggers. http://www.charliedatuna.com/

Supposed to be the go. A few guys at the club I go to have them on their's, and they are a good improvement.

Awesome accuracy, I too have a Gamo CFX but in .177, very happy with the accuracy, havent got a nice picture of a target but can knock the cap off a plastic bottle at 20m.

My question is with the effective range to drop pests at? At what distance wouldnt you shoot a pest at? Im talking birds rats/mice. Is 50m too much to ask out of an air rifle of this type? It is very effective at 20m

Picked up a CFX a few months ago for shooting rabbits, i think for a cheap air rifle they are not too bad and accuracy is pretty good. It is a shame about the trigger though as i think this lets the rifle down somewhat. I also think there is to much plastic at the muzzle end which makes the rifle look cheaper than it is.

Kindest regards

I will be interested in how it goes on rabbits, .177 or .22? Have you given it a go yet?

I have given my CFX a go at a crow at 50m using Beeman Silver Bears. One word, devastating. Pretty happy but the trigger is heavy.

my dad and brother both have charleys triggers on their gamos,they say it is a huge improvement.
but i wouldnt do the trigger without the replacement spring and other bits they have.
charleydatuner has retired but his offsider is still doing the parts.

I have looked into this but its not easy to pay. Last time I checked he didnt accept paypal or CC. Only money order, I actually went to the Post Office to do a money order to the US but they just looked at me funny & said they dont do that.

So how have they paid?
