gamo cfx custom
« on: October 04, 2007, 08:07:33 PM »


hello guys,
as I've promised here it is my gtx.

unfortunately not all the parts that I've ordered is arrived...the special tar and the buttplate wegu style from Mr. Maccari went lost.
I still hope to receive it some day, but nobody has news about my package, so if anyone has suggestions in where I can buy similar parts it will be very appreciated.
The only thing I stil cannot find is the muzzle brake in alluminium.so as you will see I still mount the original one ( sadly ).

by the way, this is my cfx:





as you can see there is the grat GRT III trigger, and i've painted the safety in red with synthetic paint. ther result in my opinion is really cool.





a complete view of the rifle in wich you can see the camo paint made by myself and the cheek rest from desertwarrior , ( http://www.desertwarriorproducts.com/) not very easy to shape but a cool product.





a close view of the grip ( the image is blurred, I'm sorry ) the product for the grip comes from tractiongrips, you should have a little amount of manual ability to shape it, but it is great value for the money I've spent.





frontal view of the rifle....please help me to find a new muzzle brake because the original one is really ugly!!!! :0 you can also see tha bipod , wich was the difficult part to mount because I had to adapt it on the wood making a hole and centering the base.





last but not least the optic... it is a ZOS 6-24X with illuminated mil.dot reticle . there is also a theoben gasram instead of the classic spring but I've forgot to make photos of the mountig pocess.



This weekend I willtest the rifle at 30-40-50-80 meters with different bullets and then I will post the results. :D



I hope that my cxf will like you...and if you have suggestions or commets that can help or if you see something I've made wrong pelase don't hesitate to tell me!



thank you



ciao, Giancarlo from Italy

Very Nice Job, Giancarlo,



That is the first CFX that I have ever seen that takes two remote controls ! LOL



But all kidding aside, she looks really great ! Ready for the hunt.



Very Nice Work...

Your CFX looks really nice. Do you like using the new check piece?

 I have a CFX I am thinking of customizing and I love to see pics of what others have done.

Giancarlo, how good (or bad) is the accuracy when the gun is supported by the solid bipod? How does it compare with rested, but using your hand to support the rifle?
