Read about...Late model Gamo's

[RedFeather]

I really don't know if that scope is air gun rated or not. You might ask in a separate post on the Airgun Gate section. I'm sure there are many CFX owners here who can point you to the best pellets.

The "gunsmith" was only quoting Gamo's ridiculous claim about the 1,000 fps. That would be with light, alloy pellets which you DON'T want to shoot. If they came with it, toss them or use them in something really low powered. Should you feel the gunsmith's statement will get you in trouble, you can always chronograph it. It will be well below 1,000 fps, rest assured. And, if you are forced to, go with the heaviest pellet you can for the test. Ought to be even slower.

Just a quick note. Went to Cabela's in PA a few days ago to help out my son's  friend pick out a new Gamo. Glad I read this thread before going. Glad to report that the new Shadow Sport does not have the new trigger assembly, yet. The only model in Cabela's with the new trigger was the CFX. Funny how Gamo took a very average, at best, component and made it worse. I have 3 Whispers and an older CFX. All Turbo Tuned and GRT's installed by the Tuna. Also all Gamo scopes replaced. Each gun has had a minimum of 7,000 to 8,000 rounds fired, and it seems they are performing better as they age. It really is a shame that with all the negative feedback on the older trigger, Gamo decides to downgrade it. Got to be a cheaper manufacturing decision. I think I will be hanging on to mine for quite a while!!!

hi charlie  , and all
 i am asking if there is a spring kit for my cfx  ,  in poor words boost the power but since im in italy i'll have to do it . no hard feelings but it's just to let you that the postal system is real bad here . the trigger i ordered in dec  ,  well still hasent got here yet and i doubt if it will in the future (probely got stolen or lost)
 ,  use to that  happens often!!!!!  have to go girlfriends gonna kill me if im late again . thanks to all  ... jim

I'm not so sure you can successfully boost the power in a CFX much above factory levels. From what we have discussed here recently, the two o-rings don't seem able to hold enough pressure for the gun to exceed 900 fps in .177. Simply a good tuning (deburr, lube, perhaps a new seal) is a better path to take.

If you don't get the trigger, there are other options open to you that can be done from hardware store parts. Ask on the Yellow forum for the do it yourself Gamo trigger mods. Not as elegant but I think it is will be better than the factory trigger.

Just spring for FedEx or UPS.  (Pun intended.)  Quite reliable.

hi guys
 i wanted to know is the cfx only 7.5 joules or isn't there more powerfull ones . i saw on youtube that there was a 16 joule ( think it was a cfx ) ?? and another always on youtube as i said before not sure ,  but if i remember correct it was a 23 joule.in all wanted to know if the whole gun changes or if it's the spring and internal ass  , but the body chassis is the same dimensions ? thanks for the patience  . jim

Cheer up guys! Once you think about it, GAMO made lots and lots of the old style rifles that we all have come to love. It's likely plausible that there are those models still being sold in spectacular numbers. It's up to us to contact the company/store prior to purchase to confirm if the rifle has the plastic trigger assembly or not. This may be a set back for some...or many -- but I'm sure we'll all get our hands on the older model shooters in one instance or another.

However, for now we'll let the new models flood the market and hope that there's some miracle that some fine gent will take the time and modify/reproduce a better trigger assembly for those patient few
