on the Walther barreled CFX? I've been hoping to see some more info, as well as pricing for CFX barrels. Or have you been too busy putting the new web site together to do any shooting?

Been busy but have had some time with the Walther .177 CFX.
If somebody wanted to punch paper this is the combo, it was calm yesterday and got an hour or so shooting it. 35 yards dime size, at 50 less than an inch groups of the bench.
I had a little trouble loading it because the rifle did have a .22 barrel on it so the loading gate was oversize for .177. Have it apart now fixing the loading gate so it will feed .177 pellets with out getting them sideways. It has a crossman spring in it and it's getting a 890 average with FTS's
I tried a couple of different pellets, superdomes and CPL's other than shooting a little higher the groups were close, but the FTS's came out on top.
It's like my .20 shadow it likes the FTS pellet. I don't have any JSB pellets to try, but I am going to order some so I can try them out.

Had a chance to shoot a little today so here are the targets the red target is CPL's at 40 yards just a slight wind. The yellow one is a 55 yards also with fts's, wind was picking up a little moving them around a little but still good. The Targets have only a 1/2 inch bull and they are 3 inches in diameter.

Woa... I can do the red one at 25 yards.. But damn 40 NICE

Dang Rich, wish I could see dat far to test mine out...:)

That Walther.177 barrel makes a big difference in the accuracy of this CFX.
It will group FTS's darn near as good, and Superdomes seem to be in last place so far. The FTS's were better out at the longer ranges than the CPL's,. I think the extra weight helped beat the wind.
By the way this was done with a 27 dollar tasco 3X9X32

Okay, so what's it going to cost to get one for my CFX? Great shooting, by the way.

The barrel prices are on my web site, and the rifle can shoot better than I can right now.
I still have to use a fat pad on my shoulder becase of the surgery.
