    Mine's a .22 CFX. The best of 3 air rifles that I have. Into target shooting.

    Kneeling and shooting at about 25m with a BSA Essential 4x32AO scope and hitting targets within a 3cm diameter circle using Gamo Match pellets. Think I can do better if I tried harder.

    Manage to "cut" a 1mm think steel can in two using 10 pellets.

    The elevated scope rail includes mounting holes for scope mounts to prevent scopes from slipping.

    Underlever sure is easier to cock compared to break-barrel. But like all break barrels and underlever rifles, it's not possible(/easy) to fit a permanent bipod (you can use a barrel clamp one but you'll have to remove it to cock).

    Pretty good and relatively cheap rifle for target shooting and hunting small game.

    i just bought CFX .177 with a gtrIII trigger and a Simmons 3-9x32 its accurate and powerful, in my option a value for money
    the only think that i don't like is the trigger but gtrIII makes CFX a different gun
    after zeroing the scope i hit a 2 euro coin at 30m 5/5 with H&N baracuda

    Great rifle! Have a Gamo CF-X, full power aprox 22j. Fitted a gtIII trigger and it is sweeet! Hit 3 peanuts with 3 shots at 25m. Good accuracy, build , price, gets better if tuned.

    great gun. there has to be no better air rifle for under £300. it is HIGHLY accurate, is powerful, is good looking, and, above everything else, is cheap!
    the power of this is brilliant! i shot at a paint tin lid at 50 yards with it 20 times. every shot went straight through! i then did the same with 2mm of lead and the same happened.
    there are three problems with this gun. one is that it is so easy to load the pellets the wrong way round. when this happens it sounds like you've just fired ...

    I just bought the Gamo CF-X and fitted a Bushnell 3-9x40. When I went out to our shooting range to zero in the scope the gun broke after about 17 shots. I went to the local store where I bought it and instantly got a replacement rifle, and just moved the scope to the new gun.

    When I took the new gun out to the range it broke in the exact same way as the last in about 15 shots.

    The problem is that it doesn't lock the spring after loading the rifle. It will just act like I'm holding the trigge ...

    On the Gamo CF-X the FPS is lower than advertised. Breech seal went wrong after 6 months. Very slow warranty repair and poor customer service. This gun is over rated. Will switch to German air rifle next time.

    The Gamo CF-x air rifle is perfect for the airgun hunter. Its got great power and accuracy. The only problems really are that its loading is quite slow and the gun is quite heavy. Other than that its a great air rifle.

    Would gladly buy this gun again. Solid feel, very accurate under 30 yards, affordable, well made, love the fiber optic sites. Found the adjustable scope to be of good quality and increased the accuracy. Great hunting rig, not just for plinking.
    Rotating breach not a speed loader and the pellets don't always fall in the right direction, must seat with finger nail most of the time.

    I would gladly buy this gun again. I found the adjustable scope to be very good and added to the shooters accuracy. GAMO rocks in my opinion.
    Solid feel like a quality rifle should, accurate, love the fiber optic sites, very good hunter, not just a plinker, great value for the money.
    Rotating breach is not a speed loader, pellets don't always fall in the right direction, mostly have to use the finger nail to seat properly.

    VERY happy with my purchase and it's doing me great service at the local air rifle club with the HFT comp shoots. For your specific altitude and therefore power factor I would advise doing a self test for which pellets your gun will prefer. For me it threw a good few around before I found one that I could consistantly keep in the bullseye!

    I was given the Gamo CFX as a present last christmas. My first impression was 'WOW'. I took it out straight away and sighted it in. Have mounted on it Hawke 4 x 40 sights. It came with the gun.
    When I got it zeroed in that night targets were in danger, with me been able to hit a grouop of 5 the size of a 10p at 30 yards I found out right away this was an extreemly accurate gun. I was only out for about 1 hour and in that time I bagged myself 11 hits. On the way back there was a big crow sat in a ...

    This is my first rifle: it has a great accuracy, definitely a great deal. The CFX came up with an excellent package with optic + laser + torch. Torch is useless to me but some might have fun using this rifle by night. I shoot from a 30m range to 100 meters. With the optic it's easy to shoot a coin several times within the closest range. A cigarette pack can be easily reached at 100m.

    As I'm new to this shooting sport I encounter some issues with the optic from a shooting session to the other. I ...

    Mate! Ive made some serious shots with this gun. one shot out to 60 meters on a crow was enough to convince me this was a serious air rifle. i know it sounds crazy but i even got it to break fishing line at ten meters. rested up of course. i dont care wat anyone says thats value for your bloody money.

    I had CFX for couple month. It is accurate and will hit small target (probably size of cigarette packet) up to 50 meters, and kills small animals within the same range. I bought BSA carbine since it was hard to reload in poorly lit condition.

    Excellent pellet gun. At 20metres with BSA 3-9x32 scope it is accurate! I love my gun and hunt rats, rabbit and birds with ease.
    Handling excellent, recoil excellent, trigger is smooth, and when u have ur target in scope it is good bye to it.

    You can't go wrong with this rifle. For approx $200 US, you'll get an accurate, easy to cock rifle with lots of upgrade potential, should you wish to do so. I also own an Airforce Condor (among others), but find myself going to the CFX for most plinking sessions. I've had such a good experience with the CFX that I'm now going to spend some real dollars/pds for an Air Arms Prosport
