Gamo CFX Air Rifle

The Gamo CFX is a fixed-barrel underlever air rifle that has earned a dedicated following among springer enthusiasts. This spring-piston rifle suits pest control, target practice, and recreational shooting. The fixed-barrel design ensures consistent alignment between the barrel and optics, which translates to reliable accuracy at distance . Gamo equips it with the SWA Shock Wave Absorber recoil pad and fibre optic sights . At Airgun Store, the Gamo CFX is supplied to shooters across France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, and Belgium.

The Gamo CFX is offered in 4.5mm (.177) and 5.5mm (.22) calibre . The .177 version reaches velocities up to 345 m/s, while the .22 delivers approximately 254 m/s . Muzzle energy is rated at 20 J in full-power versions, with some European markets receiving de-tuned variants to comply with local regulations. Overall length measures 1160 mm, with a 450 mm barrel . Weight comes in at 3.0-3.5 kg depending on stock material. An 11mm dovetail rail accepts standard scope mounts.

The fixed-barrel system is the defining feature of the CFX. Unlike break-barrel rifles, the barrel remains locked in position, ensuring perfect alignment with the scope. The underlever cocking mechanism sits beneath the barrel for a clean, uncluttered profile. Gamo’s SWA Shock Wave Absorber recoil pad reduces felt recoil by up to 74% compared to standard pads . Fibre optic open sights provide bright, dependable target acquisition in any light . The stock options include high-grade beechwood with laser-engraved checkering or a durable synthetic variant. The CFX Royal model features the wooden stock.

Forum users report several recurring concerns with the Gamo CFX. The rotary breech loading system is widely described as awkward and fiddly . Pellets must be seated deeply, and some brands simply do not fit. The factory trigger has a poor reputation, with owners describing it as “creepy” and inconsistent . The rotary breech O-ring seal is often nicked or sliced during installation at the factory, causing low velocities . The transfer port uses an odd-sized 3mm seal that is difficult to source . These issues are fixable but require patience and basic DIY skills.

Pellet selection matters significantly for the CFX. Owners report excellent accuracy with RWS Meisterkugeln pellets . Beeman Kodiak match pellets have outperformed every other pellet for some owners . JSB Exact pellets also perform well. The .22 version delivers good accuracy out to 35 yards before dropping off, while the .177 reaches further. One owner achieved 1/2-inch groups at 20 yards . Avoid pellets that seat loosely in the breech, as the rotary system demands a snug fit. A pellet seating tool is recommended for consistent results.

The Gamo CFX represents a classic underlever platform that rewards patient owners. Its fixed-barrel design delivers accuracy that surprises many shooters. The rotary breech loading system and factory trigger are the primary weaknesses, but both can be improved with aftermarket parts and simple modifications. At Airgun Store, the Gamo CFX price reflects its position as an accessible fixed-barrel springer. JSB Exact and RWS Meisterkugeln pellets are recommended for best results.
