It supprised me how quickly Gamo USA filled and shipped my order. Less than four days!!
I ordered one of the SCI promotional packages, GFX, BSA 2x7x32 ao scope. Didn't seem like a bad deal, priced the scope on several sights 59 - 89 dollars. Bought the whole package for a little more than 200 bucks.
My current airgun is a daisy 1000s powerline. I don't exactly know why, but I seen this CFX in an add and had to have it. The only way I can tell anything about an airgun is reviews or advertisements neither is very reliable. Out here, where I live, you will not be able to put your hands on one very easily.
The rifle arrived in excellent shape. I did not receive the scope stop, should I go to the trouble of trying to get it from Gamo, or go a different route.
The rifle arrived before the pellets I ordered a week before. Have some cheap daisy wadcutters I bought when I purchased the powerline. Did not want to use the scope mounts so decided to shoot some of these pellets with open sights. After 20 - 25 pellets I was consistently putting three pellets in a 1 in. sq. at 20 yrds. That made me pretty happy considering I have no info on the pellets. By the way the serial number is on the barrel!! I guess this is important, I have seen several postings and articles on the subject.
The scope looks pretty nice. I think it will fit my bill for awhile. Question, if I purchase one piece scope mounts do I need the scope stop?
I am going to wait on mounting the scope until I can get some decent mounts for it. Besides it's kind of fun shooting open sights again.
I wish I had a cronograph. My powerline is supposed to shoot .177 pellets at 1,000 ft./ sec. and it feels like it. This CFX is alot easier to cock, it shoots smoother, it's quieter, and it is supposed to pitch pellets at 1,000 ft./ sec. Is this right?
I guess that's it for now fellas. Hope to get feedback, good or bad.
Thanks,
Perry
P.S. With this purchase, because of promotion, I am supporting some sort of hunting organization. I don't even know exactly what it is. I hope it's a good thing.
