CDT tuned CFX...long, but good and is..
« on: March 22, 2007, 11:12:45 AM »
in a word....awesome!!! Got it back the other day. First look out of the box I could see the Gold trigger staring at me. Cool! Next, I picked the gun up and realized the loose right piece of the forearm stock that came with the gun was now tight thanks to CDT. Now the gun was clean and shiny and tight. Here is the pre-tune story on my CFX.

Cocking the under-lever was rough, noisey and uneven.  Heavy recoil and "thwang and big vibration" while pulling the trigger.
Trigger pull very hard and unpredictable. Although the CFX only had 400 or so pellets through it at the pre-tune stage, I was hoping for some better groups at that point with the best shooting pellet at that time. I was leaning toward the JSB preditor.

Ok,..now for the post tune from CDT :D

Cocking the under-lever was much easier, with very little noise, (if any), and smooth as glass, from start to finish. The heavy recoil,  thwang, and vibration is GONE :p . The new GRT trigger is..... :D  8)  :p ...AWESOME!!!  What a difference!!!! I can't begin to tell you what this trigger has done for this rifle. Again, just like the rest of the tune, the trigger is as smooth as glass. CDT also includes detailed specs on your gun including gun care, trigger specs and your guns chrony results before and after the tune up, and more.

 I had to post a pic of my CFX from CDT below and add a few pre/post chrony numbers too. If you want a NEW air rifle...sent it to CDT.
The difference is not night and day,...but midnight and mid-day!

 BTW...I shot 4 different pellets through the CFX today. JSB preditors still won the day. I will post more results after my liberated CFX is " broken in again".

CDT pre/ results:

Trigger Lbs pull ave. 5.8
Highest Velocity fps  878
Lowest  Velocity fps  861
Ave. Ft Lbs Energy 13.90

CDT post/ results:

Trigger Lbs pull ave. 1.7
Highest Velocity fps  899
Lowest Velocity fps  889
Ave. Ft Lbs Energy 14.73

And Greg, I am sure it will give you a great deal of service, cause mine have and still keep on shootin.. My Synthetic like yours is one of my best target shooters.. :) It really is a pleasure shooting the CFX with the GRT-III trigger and the Turbo Tune..  One thing is for sure he has a very precise proceedure when doing thos Tunes.. lol..

I am happy that you are now enjoying the way a Gamo should really feel and shoot...:)

Good Luck

Thanks Gene. The gun really is awesome now. Once I break it in, I may even use it for competition. CDT is THE man!
