the unfortunate facts are that these days most firearms and airgun manufacturers are owned by large corperations whos sole interest is making the biggest profit they can for shareholders who dont care about the products these corperations make,who they sell them to or evan if those products are suitable for purpose,so companys are run by accountants whos sole interest is keeping costs low to boost profits anyway they can,the bigger the profits the higher the share prices go,its got nothing to do with producing good products,customer satisfaction/customer service,s they simplily dont care as long as shareholders are making money,this is big busseness today,its corperate piracy at its best and proberly criminal at worst,but its all about maximising profits in the end.

Gamo do seem to focus on making changes even when not required, R&D team must be instructed to get something new out every year. Feedback and queries from owners appear to be ignored, not sure who they listen to but does not appear to be anyone from this part of the world and definitely not me.

I have eight Gamo rifles, several are hard work and just for fun however when Gamo put power aside and stick to their base designs they can produce reasonable rifle.

.22 CFX - underlever - spring piston. Accurate and good value for money. (12.2 ft/lb)
.25 Shadow - break barrel - gas piston. This rifle rewards with every shot. (14.2 ft/lb)
Both of these shoot well from fixed sights but are set up with one piece mounts and Gamo 4x32AO scopes and are great for plinking out to 25 yards.

Just for fun Gamo choices.
.22 Magnum gas piston is surprisingly good at 40 yards but very harsh to use. (29 ft/lb)
.177 BG Adventure spring piston is bright orange and younger visitors will use it all day.(14 ft/lb)

pics would be good. A few have stiffened the barrel using a thick walled carbon fibre sleeve. The ends, and where they compress between need to be exact,so the tension doesn't deflect the barrel.]]> Sat, 19 Dec 2020 15:03:25 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=547&PID=3422#3422 Gamo CFX : Looking forward to hearing about... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=547&PID=3420#3420 Author: Novagun

I am a long time springer shooter, I need to get into pcp at some stage. My current project is a BSA spitfire .22 which I'm about to do a full carbon fiber barrel shroud with integrated suppressor. I'm hoping with having the stiffness of the carbon on the barrel that it will increase the accuracy and also prevent long term barrel droop from cocking. It came without the 10shot mag but they are a little fiddly anyway. Will update you all on the progress as I go. ]]> Sat, 19 Dec 2020 13:24:25 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=547&PID=3417#3417 Gamo CFX : Nice one Pauly5.How long to think... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=547&PID=3416#3416 Author: Novagun

i must be spoilt by my pcps too, got the old BSA springer out the other day after reading novas comments on recoil,this is a rather powerful 177 rifle,bloody near cracked my false teeth,sounded like box of files rattling away inside,had new spring put in it few years back,mustve been a truck suppension spring i think,bloody thing nearly jumped outa my hands,never did get on with this rifle and this time no exception,after half an hour still couldnt hit anything but did make nice bit peg board out of a piece of ply got so many neat little holes scattered all over it i could proberly paint it and use it to hang tools off,i think this rifle hates me coz fights me so much i cant hit anything smaller than 20 liter paint bucket with it,dont know why i keep it,proberly just to punish myself and remind me why i went to pcp rifles eh!!

Well there you go Pauly5. You have obviously been spoiled by the Air Arms PCP. 
I got a bit soft shooting the CR600W for a long time. Alan has gone soft because he only shoots his PCPs. He does shoot a .22lr now and then so he keeps up with the recoil.
Shot my Webley Tomahawk yesterday for the first time in months. Power to waste but recoil. Had to have a special session to revise the artillery hold.
I just need to say my underlever Gamos are very good. Far better then a wobbly old shooter but they are piston guns and piston guns are special.

New topic coming up arising from something JS said.
