Gamo. CFX old but new to me

Evening, no sorry I haven't. Sorry I've been a bit quiet on the air gun front lately, wife has been quite unwell and had to have spinal surgery but seems to be recovering well and I've been trying to catch up on all my taxidermy projects.

See another one in ChCh,  177 so far its a good price

I tried bb's cfx yesterday. She's got a bit use on her and being a gamo it of course wouldn't be much for trigger pull, or accuracy, espially as bbs scope settings are low and to the left for my eye.
Still you got to try them to see.
How wrong was I with my pre shooting gamo judgement? Very!
Its trigger was well smooth enough for shooting. After finding out what distance he had sighted in for and a bit of mental guessing on drop and compensation for his scope setting, proceed to get a massive shock as the first shot the twig I had clipped a little hair clip with a bow too broke. Next shot took out the hair clip.
Gun was easy to load and cock. Comfortable to shoulder, trigger nice to use, light weight, scope left a lot be desired but obviously was accurate.
All said and done a great little gun.
I'm assuming age and wear had smoothed out the trigger and had everything else well beded in.
Its a gamo that I would actually consider buying if I decided I wanted a gamo rifle.
Not fan of gamo, but have never totally rubbished them as mercs has shown they can be good little hunters and accurate,( think it was the igt) but I think now I've found a gamo that I would say " if your going to buy a gamo I'd look at this model"
Probly still over priced new ( but that's every gamo)
But if your going to buy a gamo you'd be doing yourself a favour by looking at this model. (from my limited few shots experiance)
If you get one second hand for the price bb did, your totally winning,

Thanks Mercs, will do a full strip down at some stage. Got a once piece scope mount today and will put that on and see if that straight away improves the accuracy. Was the gas ram conversion straight forward or did things need tinkering?

Good score. I had one ages ago. That breech system sometimes a pain to load if the pellets are a firm fit.
