    The Gamo CF-30 is a very good air rifle for average shooter, good value to money. Fun, easy and decently accurate rifle for someone, who shoots for fun. Not for beginner nor pro, good for average guy. I found mine easy to shoot after tuning the trigger. Size and weight are within my needs. Accurate enough to average shooting. Quality is good and the stock is well finished.

    this is my 3rd gamo cf-30 rifle but not my favourite it is not a bad rifle, probably excellent for a first-timer but i have a modified (+-800fps) qb 79 with a tuned trigger. it feels lighter, trigger releases when expected, 9oz cylinder is very cheap to refill and (after a lot of cleaning the barrel) is very accurate. maybe some mods to the gamo will surface on the net soon and turn this into my favourite, we will see. Good velocity for standard co2 rifle and 10 shot magazine. Bad points are 8 ...

    Good rabbit hunting rifle for those built up areas where you cant use a firearm. light weight but powerfull also accurate becouse of the fixed barrel. There is a lack of calibers e.g only 177/22

    A powerful and affordable rifle, with extreme accuracy. As a pheasant and rabbit hunter a rifle with power and accuracy out to 40 metres is essential. I previously used a BSA lightening, and my CF-30 .22 is much better. Yes, it is larger and louder than the BSA, but I find it has a much better kill ratio.

    If your considering buying a sub-£350 spring rifle buy this, trust me!

    The gamo cf-30 is a good rifle and great value for money, would be even better if it was quieter, great accuracy when a scope is fitted and set up properly, also the front sight could do with being secured properly as mine fell out.

    Fasten your seat belts!!!!! I have a .22 and it was noisy with a lot of recoil. As D.I.Y is in my blood I opened the Gamo CF-30 gun and made some adjustments. Don't laugh it really work out fine. I used heavy outdoor tape. Yes read it again.
    This is what I did;
    First I cleaned the gun inside. Then I put the heavy tape around the rear and front spring guide and turned / screwed into the spring. The heavy front spring guide moves around in the piston very easy so I taped this to get a tigh ...

    When I started looking for an air rifle, I had the following criteria for selecting an air rifle:
    1. Accuracy
    2. +- 1000 Ft/sec
    3. Economical

    Living in South Africa makes it expensive for the average citizen to buy a precharge rifle. The Gamo CF-30 got my attention, as it is well finished and fitted into my budget. The fixed barrel and under-lever cocking system adds to consistent performance. As can be expected, the harsh negative recoil results in a noisy vibration, that in my opinion is ...

    I have had my Gamo CF-30 air rifle for two years, and I'm very pleased with it. It is light. The recoil is smooth without a hint of vibration, and the accuracy superb. I can hit 5 cent coins at 55 yards every time.

    I recently purchased a second-hand Gamo CF-30 in .177 which had had only a couple of tins of pellets fired through it. The stock was badly scratched in a few places, so I painted it black and gave it a coat of satin varnish. Lovely. I also bought a Gamo red dot sight because the iron sights were not up to much.

    I was pretty happy with the performance overall. The CF-30 is a full power rifle, and mine loves Bisley Magnums (for some reason they are a lot tighter than Bisley Pest Control or Bisl ...

    After reciveing the Gamo CF-30 and zeroing the scope, I took it for a few shots down a mates farm. Did I know what I was in for? The power is spot on and the recoil nice to have. Very good budget gun for the beginner and a nice little toy to have for the more experienced marks man alike.

    I very much like using my Gamo CF-30 as it has the feel of a cold killer. Although some may argue that it lacks character I personally enjoy the look and feel of a real gun and find much to recommend its use on small to medium quarry say up to a hare at 30-35 metres (around 100ft). Although it can be a little heavy, that of course can be a benefit and not just a hindrance. When judging a spring gun, just remind yourself of the years of perfectly good shooting you and maybe your grandfather ha ...

    The Gamo CF-30 is Very accurate for a recoil rifle.
    A picture is worth more than a thousand words. (make your own conclusions).

    Every time I shoot with the Gamo CF-30 I get a different group pattern, it takes a lot of concentration to get consistent tight groups. I seem to pull to the right when squeezing the trigger. I can never tell exactly when its going to fire. The trigger has a really long travel with a vague feel. If I squeeze and then let go of the trigger before it fires, and squeeze again the trigger resistance is less up to the point where I travelled the first time. I'm usually taken a little by surprise when ...
