Thinking about getting Gamo CFX... have some q's

[navyseals101]

FIrstly,

1) how far can a Gamo Cfx venturi .177 shoot vs the .22?


2) how much more accuracy is a Gamo Cfx venturi .177 over the .22 version?


3) How far does the Gamo Whisper shoot?


4) Is the Gamo Whisper more accurate than the Gamo Cfx?

are you gunna hunt it or target shoot it .

[navyseals101]

both

[navyseals101]

I want to try and shoot from a further than average for distance, but i sitll want some impact

[navyseals101]

additionally, I'm wondering if the Venturi air ram is worth the price? what the distance without it and with it? Can i still have accuracy without it or will i be doomed?

[Scruff_Dog]

the .177 will get you out there

[navyseals101]

I'm thinking distance and accuracy are my two priorities so i should probably just get the .177 with the venturi. But the .22 would be awesome! eeeehh somebody help

[navyseals101]

how far do you think? I think i'm going to go with the .177, now the question is wether or not to get the Gamo CFX or the whisper, which one will have more accuracy/distance

Welcome to the GTA Forums Gregg,

You have found a GREAT Place to Be ! And the home of Air Gunners Anonymous.. lol

I do not have these answers, except that the Whisper and the CFX have the same power plant inside. And I believe that the CFX is the most accurate of the Gamo Airguns. I know that many owners of both will add their opinions here !

As for the Gas Spring Venturi, they have not performed as well as the spring versions, and shoot about 100 fps slower.. so shorter distance..

I hope to see you around here often !

i do not have cfx but i hear there great either way

[Scruff_Dog]

I have had better outcome when hunting the 22.

[navyseals101]

it should be good to here peoples responses, I'm really in a kunundrum here.... It's quite hard choosing between the .177 whisper and the .177 gamo cfx

[Big_Bill]

Well Gregg,

The CFX has an attached barrel, giving it a perceived advantage of accuracy. The CFX is an underlever, and a little slower to load, until you get used to that style of action.

The Whisper is a break barrel, barrel cocking unit, and it as easier to load.

Both air rifles have the same f.p.s....and in .177 should shoot just as far. I cannot tell you the effective range in either airgun, due to it being directly connected to your ability to shoot. What do expect to hunt

[navyseals101]

well, I didn't really expect to hunt anything. I just wondered if the .22 would be good enough basically to shoot at the same distances / speeds / accuracy} as the .177.

Do you know anything about the hollowtip .177's?


Wouldn't those be able to be fired and they mushroom  out upon impact correct?

Cause then if thats so, I might as well just get .177 hollow tips??? vs ,22

I meant the venturi air ram???

Let me rephrase

Is the venturi air ram upgrade better than the spring?
