Gamo CFX Air Rifle : Royal & IGT Models

Gamo CFX Review: A Classic Air Rifle Evolved

The Gamo CFX is a legendary under-lever air rifle. Top Airguns now offers its modern successors: the spring-powered CFX Royal and the gas-ram CFX IGT. This review compares both models to help you choose. We’ll examine their fixed-barrel accuracy, power in .177 and .22 calibres, and overall value for hunters and target shooters.

Fixed-Barrel Design: Built for Consistency
Firstly, the Gamo CFX platform is famous for its fixed barrel. Unlike break-barrel rifles, the barrel does not move. This design, combined with under-lever cocking, promotes consistent barrel alignment. Consequently, many shooters find it offers superior potential accuracy. The robust construction ensures this carabine à plomb Gamo handles high power outputs reliably.

Choosing Your Powerplant: Spring vs. Gas Ram
You have two distinct engine choices, each with unique benefits:

• CFX Royal (Spring Piston): This model uses a traditional mainspring. It delivers powerful, classic performance and is often a more affordable entry into the fixed-barrel category.

• CFX IGT (Gas Ram): This version features Gamo’s Inert Gas Technology. The gas ram provides a smoother, quicker shot cycle with noticeably less vibration. Therefore, many shooters prefer it for its refined feel and faster follow-up shots.

Performance in .177 and .22 Calibres
Next, let’s discuss calibre choice. The Gamo CFX 177 (.177) is excellent for target shooting due to its flatter trajectory. Meanwhile, the Gamo CFX 22 (.22) is a powerful hunting tool, with models like the CFX Royal 23 joules generating significant energy for small game. Regardless of your choice, always pair these powerful rifles with a scope rated for spring or gas-ram recoil to avoid mounting issues.

Final Verdict: A Top Choice for Serious Shooters
In conclusion, the Gamo CFX series is ideal for shooters who prioritize accuracy and robust build quality. It is perfect for hunters wanting a dependable single-shot rifle and target shooters appreciating fixed-barrel consistency.
