My favorite is the Gamo CFX for all the reasons previously given and because of the rotating loading port.  Anyone who has had a springer apart knows there is a tremendous amount of force held by the sear in the trigger mechanism.  As a result, most springers are susceptible to accidental firing if handled roughly even with the safety on.  However, the CFX cannot force a pellet down the barrel unless the loading port is rotated to firing position.  The CFX loading port can be used as a completely effective safety.  I use my CFX for pest control within close proximity to my neighbors.  So, I appreciate being able to carry the rifle cocked & loaded but incapable of firing a pellet until I am on target and rotate the loading port to the firing position.

I have 4. CFX, 2 Whisper Deluxes 1 tuned by the Fish with a GRT on it, and just got a Shadow Fox that's being tuned as we speak. That Whisper D, that the Tuna tuned, has got to be the most reliable, consistent, smooth, quiet, fun *_*_*_*_*_* I ever played with!!!! I might change my mind after Bob tunes the CFX, but I doubt it!!
