Did it again! (Long post on it in Air Gun Gate)

[PeakChick]

I added my first Gamo to the stable! Bought a CFX today. I'm already pleased as punch with her!

Congrats.  If you get as chance give some Gamo Tomahawk pellets a try in the new CFX. mine loves em and they are an excellent hunting pellet (if you hunt).

Natchez has NEW and fully warranted 440's for $119.95, right?

http://natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=GN611005654

The 440 used to retail, I believe, for $200 or more. These are cheap because Gamo is phasing that model out, although the replacements are based on the same action.


Boy, it'd REALLY be a shame to let one of these slip through your fingers.... and single Gamo's DO tend to get lonely in the closet...

[PeakChick]

Oh thanks a lot Vince. That's all I need, the motivation to buy yet another rifle. LOL

[PeakChick]

PS: If my CFX gets lonely she can babble in Spanish to my GH 950.

My older Beeman S1 and wifey's Shadow (which are close to each other in the rack) barely understand one another.

Besides, there's a little bit of a "my lineage is better than yours" kinda thing going on. It appears that the Norica-built S1 thinks very highly of itself because it carries the name "Beeman". However, the Gamo constantly reminds it that while it may have the Beeman name, it's "low man on the Beeman totem pole", and therefore really has nothing to brag about. (The Gamo knows nothing about the Chinese Beemans).

Sometimes they carry on for hours. I've been tempted to separate them, but deep down inside, I think they really like each other. Fortunately, the other 3 Gamo's are a wee bit more mature than these two, and stay out of it - but with an air of slight bemusement.

Of course, the Crosman Quests and Phantom just say "Whatever!". They just don't care one way or another. The B20 (which actually sits between them) sometimes gets annoyed with all the bickering. The B19 is just happy to have a new lease on life after numerous transplants. My AR1000 never gets into any arguments - ever since I fitted it with a Gamo barrel, it's just plain confused.

My Hammerli Storm is very shy and self-conscious. It knows that it has a trigger problem, and is rather embarassed by it.

And nobody - but NOBODY - messes with the RWS48. And I don't blame them.

My babies speak only two word's, LET'S HUNT!. :} Ed

[PeakChick]

Too funny Vince, LOL. But, I completely understand.

My gunracks kinda sound like this: The two Diana's only speak to each other, and in perfect, unaccented German at that.
The GH 950 knows he's a kinda stepchild, but he puffs out his chest and says I can spit .22 lead with the best of 'em.
The Quest 1000 just rolls his eyes and says "It's all good man, chill."
The 2260 only talks when she's sniffin' CO2.
The little GS 650 is too timid to speak up, but she smiles for mom.
The Beeman B17 is a pistol and is kinda dark and secretive.

Then there is the HW30, well she's a Weihrauch and she doesn't talk to anybody but me.

I'm not to sure about the CFX yet, but I get the impression that she is a bit of a Castillian throuroughbred and may be a bit snooty.

Time will tell.

Oh boy,

Looks like we may have some air rifle babies, I wonder what caliber they will be, can I opt in for pick of the litter ?

Congratulations Stephanie, on the addition of your new Gamo CFX. I'm sure you have heard of the GRT-III trigger by Charlie De Tuner, it will make that CFX a sweet shooter !

And Vince, I think that you have gone beyond the ADDICTION level, trying to bread them now LOL

[vinceb]

Nothing like that. What sorta place do you think I'm running here?

Oddly enough the Crosman 795, Gamo Delta, and Slavia 619 all get along fine. I guess it's true what they say, "...and the children shall lead..."
