I live on 45 acres, and have a problem with rabbits and hares coming into the garden during the night. A normal gun is too loud, and I didn't want to risk stray shots going into the neighbours houses. Based on the excellent reviews of the CFX, I made my purchase in .177.
I haven't been disappointed. The CFX has proven to be ideal for both plinking and hunting. Since I am primarily hunting rabbits and hares, I opted for a red dot scope from Vector Optics on a cantilever mount. Not only does ...

I've had my CFX for 2mths now and I have to be honest, I took it back after the first 100 pellets as it didn't feel to be punching at its alleged weight (apparently around 11.3ft/lb). Gunsmith told me to run the rest of my 500 tin through it and if the 10.3ft/lb didn't bump up they'd respring it. On return visit it had dropped to 9.4ft/lb so respring was done. It came back a different rifle (although not without teething problems). The main thing is finding the ideally matched pellet for this ri ...

Owned my .22 cal. for 2yrs hasn't lost power at all.Zero malfunctions.I shoot rabbits,hares,possums,small to medium birds.Absolute power up to 30M however shots at longer range also effective.Possums particularly are hard to kill even with small cal. .22 rimfires,however I'm not lacking a tidy record of one (head) shot kills exeding 25M.
Please be aware it's very easy to overlook closing the breach,more so when follow ups are required in haste....firing it open IS NOT GOOD for it.highly recomend ...

Owned my .22 cal for over 2yrs,used on rabbits,hares,opossums and magpies(I live in New Zealand).not short on power using Gamo Pro Magnums.Have had surprising clean kills at range.
Hare at 35metres,opussom at 27odd metres.
Great unique mechanism too.
All round great rifle with no major faults.Prepared to over look slow load time,as mentioned,due to clean kills.
P.S. opossums and hares are hard to one-hit-kill even with small cal. firearms. Thank You.

With the Gamo CF-X definitely you can do some serious hunting.Shooting huge drain rats at 15 to 20 meters using Exact Diablo Heavy pellets they go straight through. With or without ScopeUnbelievable Rifle !!!!!!!

I brought the Gamo CF-X today and it took me about 4 hours to get it sighted in with the Tasco 4x32 scope i put on it. When i say accurate i mean this baby is accurate. I decided to set up a accuracy test.. i set up 2 coke cans at 10 yards and a sharpie stuck between 2 of them then at 20 yards i set up a coke can and 2 spray paint bottles and finally i set up a coke can at 38 yards and spray paint bottle at 40 yards. Every single shot absoutly destroyed its target.. The coke cans were split from ...

I think that this is a quality gun and is perfect for any type of shooting. I have the .22 caliber. it has taken down a fox with no problems and birds from up to 65m away. i have had it for one and a half years and it has not lost any power at all.

This gun is a very high quality rifle for $200. The stock is very comfortable, and the gun shoots extremely well. It it surprising how accurate the rifle is. I would recommend this gun to anyone interested in buying a springer. Also, the breach loading is much more comfortable than a breakbarrel while shooting in the prone, and is easy after you become accustomed to it.

Overall the CF-X is a very nice gun with great accurate. I have shot crows and even black birds up to 50 meters and the pellets (Gamo Pro Hunter) went straight true. I use a 4x32 Norconia scope on a regular mounting and it stays just on its place. But a very important thing is to shoot with pellets which aren't to light.

Nice long heavy gun, good shooting position for larger shooters and easy to hold still on a rest for a long shot.
Very heavy gun to carry long distance.
The slugs have been through and through on all the rabbits i have shot even up to 25m.

Much the same as the other reviews. Not a fun loader, it takes the pleasure out of shooting a lot, yet for the times you want to hit the critter without any concern, its the ticket. Trigger creep rivals the Chinese imports.
Started out marginal and has gotten worse. May take my Charlie Da Tuna trigger off my Shadow and use it.
If I want to get rid of a pest, its the first choice. If I want to shoot up a lot of ammo I put it up and use the Shadow.
Had the Big Cat and sent it back to Ga ...
