Mornin Travis! That's a bummer about the CFX😕 I hope Crosman doesn't start using the plastic breech blocks. I know Hatsan is using them on some of there cheaper rifles. I just can't see them lasting a long time.

So I have done several reviews on this crappy CFX air rifle on my youtube channel. So you are not alone in thinking the CFX is junk. I myself on my channel have told many people not to buy the CFX and have said flat out I cannot recommend the CFX. mine is currently a expensive door stop paper weight sitting in one of my gun cabinets. I have been chatting with airguns of alaska about the CFX as well and have told him alll about the issues I had with it. And ya when I wanted to return mine gamo said the only thing they would do is try and fix the one I got. On top o fthe fact that I was going to have to pay to ship it back to them as well which was going to cost me around $80 to a $100 buck because of were I live SO ya that did not happen. Anyway I feel your pain my friend and ya even though I own a few gamos I am done with them as well. I will stick to my weihrauchs, Beemans, Air arms, and diana's

Beeman chief fps ?

Did you zero it in? my shit is way off and I have adjusted and it still won’t get zeroed in not even close.

It's not you its the barrel. I have one

The two Airgun MFGs I won't ever buy from again: Gamo and Umarex, both for Warranty issues. Gamo refused repair/refund for a Gamo Varmint that came new-in-box with a bent barrel and a broken spring, saying I broke the gun. Umarex took 5 warranty replacements for their Gauntlet G1 that wouldn't hold air worth shit, and they only caved and refunded me after the 6th one came in with the exact same problem and I started demanding a G2. Absolute garbage quality controls on both manufacturers.

Hreat optic as far as build quality reticle is blurry regardless of the intensity level. With a 3x magnifier behind it it is great but without the magnifier its blurry unfortunately

We just bought a couple of Savage Mark2 rifles from Walmart,that came with Boyd stocks. I'm actually thinking about buying a Boyd stock for another 22 rifle. I hope we don't have an issue with them.

Hey Travis did you close out your channel memberships? I received a cancellation for it today.

i consider gamo a scam brand. they make critical mechanical components out of plastics insted of steel.

Why is my membership cancelled?

Enjoyed your video. I have 5 BSA 2X7AO scopes mounted on springers, and pumpers. Never had problems with any yet.

there's a big following for the famous daisy 880. l have owned so many pellet gun's in my life and the one pellet gun that l shoot more is the 880.

I almost picked this one up, then I got the Arrow classic instead. Bummer, I like the underlever style. 🍻

Have you tried Gamo lead balls in your 880? I carry about 20 or so in my 901, just in case. They "seem" to be more accurate than steel BBs without the long-term potential for barrel damage or the ricochet issues of steel BBs

Good Sir, I Just ordered a Chaser in .22. Would love to have a list of the parts from BUCKRAIL that you put on yours. Thank You So Very Much! FMR Intelligence Officer

If you want an air rifle, buy European.

I live in the uk, so I’m talking sub 12flbs anyway (weep for me,) but I had a CFX nearly 10 years ago, and I really liked it. I’m guessing Gamo have shit the bed since.

Love your stuff, thank you! Missed this one till now somehow, but wanted to chime in on the 901 - IMO, it is the better of the two rifles because of the furniture. Specifically, I find the pump handle and the way it feels at my shoulder to work better for me (I"m a big guy too). I have both, but the 901 has become my favorite. It's set up with a cheap 4x32 scope and serves as my hunter. I know you're not a Crosman pellet fan, but so far (of the pellets I've tried), it likes Beeman 7.2 hollow points and the Crosman Premiere 7.9 pellets. Mostly I shoot 15 yards or less where I am.

Why would you expect a refund for a gun you didn’t purchase? At 2:26 you say you didn’t buy it. I’m confused? 🤷‍♂️

Present day GAMO is junk...they will not spend any more of my money and that means I will not be buying any Crosman products either!

Just get a Cometa if you want an excellent high quality Spanish air rifle. Basically Weihrauch quality for Gamo sort of money. Gamo just makes cheap tacky plastic crap these days. CFX is, like the classic hunter, one of the better Gamos but Cometa is a different level altogether

Appreciate your honesty. Most new prospects to air guns have no intention to become enthusiasts, so they are in the under $150 price range, maybe will stretch it to $200. No frigg’n way are they gonna spend $250! And don’t even think about showing them a $300 gun. That’s where GAMO comes to the rescue. For that level of gun, they’re not gonna see any difference in quality no matter what the brand name.

I use this on two .22LR that I own…my Savage 64 Precision and Rock Island TM22….this is a small and just enough magnification to hit my target at 100yds…the illumination isn’t a big deal unless youre shooting at dawn or dusk…don’t need it for daytime…just use the black etching…but it is very clear and for $65 it’s a heck of a deal…both of the above 22’s have a 20” barrel and I have no issues with accuracy at 100….its only a 22 and unless you shoot competitively for money…this is all you need…works for me

I have the same pellet rifle. And I'm going to spray paint it flat black. I have a gun sling on it. And it shoots great. I've had no problems with it.

Pretty much the way I feel about my Crosman Shockwave, lucky to get 2" group at 20 yards. Not sure what I'm going to do with it! Thinking about cutting the moderator and shroud off down to the actual barrel itself!

Thank you for the review. Your reviews are sought out when contemplating a purchase. You are appreciated! Thanks again.

I tuned all 3 of my CF-Xes by replacing the coil spring with a Theoben gas spring, polishing the compression chamber, and replacing the tophat with a Maccari one in pristine (non-gouged) condition, and then smoothing the crown of the barrel muzzle gently with a Dremel conical sanding stone. And they all got the Gold trigger by the original inventor of it (and it's not CharlieDaTuna). My rifles shoot 75 yards accurately at 750 fps with 14.3 grain pellets.

the only gamos that are worth a crap are the pcps which are bsa and you can buy better cheaper

I feel for ya. Had a very similar thing go on with a hatsan factor rc. Wont buy hatsan any longer.

After all the exploding black powder rifles I've been Leary about buying anything made in Spain.

Gamo are totally entry level air rifles, sub quality. I now buy once and usually German or English (except BSA/Gamo) Yes they are more expensive but they work and are accurate.

That's crazy you would think Seeing as they own half the air rifle industry, they'd be willing to do returns on their defective products.

Very good video with the truth about gamo junk👍 Gamo is strugling with a ton of problems and they arent listening to the customers what's wrong about these guns

Gamo .........nope.

I have the original Accu from 10 years ago in 22 caliber ( same rifle ) and it has never been a powerhouse shooting CPHP 14.3 @ just under 700 fps . These pellets never stick out or get shaved . Im blown away by all the issues the CFX rifles have ? Mine probably has less than 200 rounds through it at this point . Its not like it has thousands of rounds through it . I own other guns so its not a daily shooter . Im more of a hunter than a bench person or a paper puncher . I guess I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop . Maybe a fluke that I got the one that was done right I don't know ? My only issue was the included scoped a Centerpoint 3x9x40mm AO would no longer hold zero .

The CFX is generally regarded internationally as a solid platform. But it is NOT a 900 fps rifle with proper pellets, not even in .177. Why does it seem (from the TH-cam videos I have watched, that 2024 has a bad batch of these in the USA?

I have the wood stock Royal version. Converted it to IGT gas ram. .22 calibre. Shoots one hole 8mm groups at 20 meters. Pity about Gamo USA not offering them in IGT and the poor service.

Greed has just gotten so bad. Quality is one thing but customer service doesn't cost a dime. A simple refund would have gained them good reviews and a repeat customer but instead they chose to lose a customer and I imagine many more. Plus there is absolutely nothing they can do about it now to make it right. There are many products I don't buy because of customer service. There are also places I support because of customer service. Either way their response is disappointing. For one you shouldn't have even been in that situation to begin with but since you were they could have at least made it painless.

Hi Travis! Thanks for your honest review. The CFX is one of the the worse Gamo's ever made. They can't repair a wrong design buddy. Gamo know this and they re-introduced this wannabe HW77 crap again without any modification.... Just a profit game. Shame on you Gamo!!! I repaired several of them and they had all the same issues. Bend or broken springs and blown out or leaking seals. The rotating breech block you do like so much is the biggest problem. It's a pellet skirt squeezer and sharp lead particles cut from the pellet will stick to the grease end up between the rotating block and barrel and will destroy the seal. This rifle is maybe accurate a few hundred shots and than the trouble shooting starts. If you shoot ten shots you'll get often one or two flyers. Those are the pellets with the squeezed skirts. At the end you won't hit a soda can anymore because of the destroyed seal. Next thing that will happen is that grease is coming out between the tube and breech block. That's because the air is not forced into the barrel anymore and the air will blow out the O-rings between the rotating block and tube. To repair this you need to strip the whole rifle to get out the rotating breech block to replace the barrel seal and O-rings. When fixed the same trouble will start all over.....and over and over 😡👎 A YT friend of mine did also two reviews about this rifle. (Bravo Bassin) Very happy with it in his first review and followed by a trouble shooting review a week later. I told him in his first review already what is gonna happen to the CFX and i was right. An other thing is that Gamo is lying on their website and boxes about their Recoil Reducing scope Rail that should save the scopes lifespan what is not more than a riser, and the pellet speed and energy of coarse what are used to. If you want a high quality and accurate under lever springer air rifle that will last a lifetime you buy the Weihrauch HW77 or 97. More expensive but at the end way cheeper. People who are calling a HW77/97 an overpriced paper puncher just can't afford one. I know Gamo's and this brand sucks. Stay away from lies and fancy words on boxes like Magum pro, Gen1,2,3, bone collector, Extreme, Varmint hunter and more of that crap. Just fancy marketing words to sell their crap. Gamo took over BSA and use now also the good and famous BSA name to sell their crap. I had a brand new BSA spitfire10 break barrel (has the same Gamo automatic, pellet dropping, crap mag. ) in my hands some weeks ago and i could move the barrel from left to right and there is nothing to adjust. Just one word, Rubbish! There are no good Gamo's, there are okey for the money Gamo's and bad Gamo's. That's it. Cheers!

Whenever a fixed barrel air rifle is designed with a rotating tap or pop-up / slide out breech type loading mechanism instead of loading the pellet directly into the barrel, variables are added which can reduce performance. There is a cool factor though and it's arguably safer than a sliding cylinder design where you put your fingers in the loading port but even when engineered to a high degree of quality eg Webley Mk3, BSA Airsporter, Air Arms Khamsin, HW57 etc they're generally not as accurate.

My motto friends don't let friends buy Gamo. My friend bought a .177 Mach1, he is not an every day shooter, 3 years later, and maybe a tin of pellets, UI had to repair his gun. Seals only available after market from Australia. I do have a Gamo CO2 pistol I like, but had to fix right out of the package.

I love your videos. Keep them coming. Have a great day

Are you going to do a review on the jts underlever?

Good morning 🌄 Travis. Gamo is all about cutting corners. Lots of plastic, plastic breach block, plastic wedge detent, that is flat out junk. I will never recommend Gamo unless they up their quality.

Boss i've been telling everyone for a long time now that Gamo's are junk !! And now that Gamo owns Crosman they will run Crosman in the ground and Crosman will be junk just like Gamo !! It's so sad that Gamo is going to ruin a 100 year old Company !

Are hollow points better than pointed?

Great vid

how much is price of this scope?
