That seems about right for Gamo. But I canāt just leave my HWs laying around like I can with the $100 buck springers.

Such a shame! That's the most accurate GAMO springer on Earth! GAMO CFX WITH CHARLIE DA TUNA GRT TRIGGER??? YO!

Is that the one sold for $100.00 shipped??? Or did you offer less??? I'd buy it if it still shoots within reason. That is... shoots a lot better than it looks! Seriously if it's what I think it is I'd buy it. YO!

Far as I know, itās a Spring, not a Ram. I think I will take it apart one of these days just for the heck of it and see.Ā
I bought it new after watching one of those No Fluff videos & it actually shot accurately for the first little while. Albeit Very Harsh shooting.
Looks like they donāt make it easy to take apart either. Will save as a project for when I have nothing better to do.Ā

Oh wow so you can hear that twang a little. If you havenāt yet it is all about letting it purr 
Ā
Yeah those no fluff just facts videos Iām sure get a lot of midnight first time buyers. Half a bottle a whisky later everyone is sold on a gamo.Ā

1) Iāll have to find my old folder with my accu targets. Mine was very accurate in 117. I probably used cp heavies but canāt remember.Ā
2) the no fluff videos are not near as bad as the idiot on āairgun explorationsā or whatever itās called. Every gun he reviews shoots dimes at 50 yards. So why buy a high dollar PCP if the super cheap springer is shooting dimes at fifty too? Lol. I argued with him once on a gun I knew he fudged numbers for and he simply said āno one else knows how to shoot a springer if they canāt do what Iām doingā. I pointed out he is on camera, lots of people shoot from a bench.Ā

Ever see that video Rick did in high altitude reviewing the .22 Gamo Magnum with his buddy?Ā Like an info advertisement. I watched though and Iām talking about it, so however silly it was I guess successful to some extent.Ā

One entertaining one was a guy calling himself āairgun guyāĀ who did a squirrel shoot with the NP2. They clearlyĀ edited out 90 percent of the shots at least
Ill have to look for the one with rick and the Gamo magnum.Ā

Also, yes clearly cutting out and lots of editing on those videos, with a lot of sudden sun directions and wind direction changes.

Yup when you get the time it would be a good project for a rainy day. Maybe clip a coil and do some polishing like the pros. Could be interesting. If you have a crony a few before and after numbers could be interesting.

Watched the video. āGAMO Redfireā really lol. They pay how much to talk up that pellet. Hunting at 50ish yards with a break barrel?? Iāve also never seen a magnum 177 pellet do well in a non pcp... āohp I pulled it, flierā, next 4 shots touching that one lol Then the NC to Texas example becomes null by the ātry different pelletsā comment
Ok here is a radical idea that has upset me for aĀ very long time. Why do these companies put more emphasis on velocity then accuracy? With all the people and their BC pic nowadays why not emphasize āmatch levelā accuracy? More accurate, more deadly. We seem to keep making more break barrels that keep keeping up in velocity. How many people get turned off from airguns after buying their magnum NP2s that everyone on TV has their name on and come to find out after 20 different pellets and a thousand rounds later theyāre barely hitting pie plates at 25. I donāt know, from my experience a lower FPE out of a underleverĀ is better then higher FPE out of a break barrel.Ā

Totally agree 270windude (side noteĀ great caliber).
The Gamos and the NP2s of the world are like the snake eating its own tail, for as you say long term they would make more money if consumers have confidence in their product. Perfect example is Weihrauch. I buy Weihrauch again and again for 4x more than any Gamo rifle because I know it is not junk. To be honest though it is videos like Rickās in the industry that doesnāt keep these companies in line. If you only show the good stuff and no actual performance issues then you are not doing justice to the review process.
