Good news!
I tested out my gas ram Gamo CFX, to which I added the "Tourna Grip" tennis racquet grip tape.
I have now put several hundred rounds through this rig, and the accuracy was all that I had hoped (sub 1/2" five shot groups @ 25 yards).
Oh, I also clocked five shots each of all my pellets that I use with the rifle, and the velocity is either right about where it was with the original spring, or just slightly lower.
The consistency of some of the pellets in MV is impressive, especially the H&N Baracuda (also known as the Beeman Kodiak) heavy pellets, which varied only 3fps!
The scope has not moved at all, thanks to the tape, and I see no problems with the scope getting battered to pieces, as some claim their own gas rams did.
FWIW, the scope in question is the Centerpoint 3-9x40 adjustable objective, a VERY good scope for a springer/gas ram.
So, the upshot of this,for anyone thinking about stepping up to a gas ram, is that you might just want to consider getting a roll of the "Tourna Grip" tape at the sporting goods department of your local Wal-Mart, cut two three-inch long strips of it, then carefully (it was a bit tricky getting it in there neatly) clamp the rings over it.
I have now gone form a scope that slid rearward over an inch to one that has not budged even slightly.
Okay, time to go hunting!
