With a underlever with a POI that's way off....just bend the barrel to bring it back into the right range so that you don't have to max it your windage or elevation. After that adjustment it should be good I go until it's accidentally dropped or stepped on. Hope you find the sweet spot between the pellet it likes and the hold it prefers.

I bought my CFX from the Gamo website in January of this year. It's muzzle velocity at 3 feet with a 14.3 grain pellet averages around 595 fps. That's around 11.24 foot pounds of energy. I must have gotten the European version.

The problem is the burrs that damage the seals, when assembling and talking about assemblers, the operators who assemble them need to have little professionalism and know that they cause this damage, each one in their job tries to do it well since it costs less than doing it wrong,

Great information, I too have had bad experiences with Gammo, so I opted to do a lot more research on purchasing now day, your video is definitely telling me to stay away from Gammo in general. I just purchased an Weihrauch HW44, HUBEN GK1 and an edgun leshily 2, the HUBEN had less than fifty rounds before I had to send it back and repaired. It don’t matter what you spend, some rifles are just lemons

Hello, that oil that appears in the charging port is because you have a damaged gun, due to the low power. Junta CFX 18380

Great review 👍 thanks!

I really don't care for a. U k rifle at 12 & 13. Fpe. Nice looking peice but that's a can plinker. Something. To play with in the back yard. It's still squirrel gun but that's it .

I stay away from gamo. They just don't appeal to me. Seen videos. Exploded view of components. & just isent up to par. With too much plastic. So instead of buying & complaining & wanting a refund or exchange. I just don't buy gamo. At least. Untill I've had a couple buddies get one & not have a problem with it. Everything I've seen so far. Has not been up to standards

Theres. Very. Very few. Break barrels that are good decent reliable rifles. I've learned that so far. Some can be. Buttered. Some can't they just are what they are. Can plinkers at best. Some are. Small game hunting rifles but very few

I almost made a purchase on the Gamo CFX but after much research and many reviews, I decided against it. I had read about the breech block problem, where the seal would get gouged from normal use and had heard of the pellet feeding problems. I don't understand why Gamo did not use the CAT trigger in what was supposed to be a precision spring piston rifle. I hardly ever watch anything from Expert Airgun Reviews because I believe he is full of hot air, lol. On a nother note, "Airguns with David" who I personally know through phone conversations, said that he has had good success with his CFX and that this was a 12 to 13 FPE rifle. I recommend reaching out to David he is a good guy.

When you have to max out the open sights at 20 yards just to get it on paper, this doesn't say much for the tolerances in machining and construction.

Big mistake Buddy. You won't be an exception and have good luck. Sorry!

There are far more words underleaver airguns trust me but it's a gamo they have never produced high end air rifles if you want quality get a air arms weihrauch or diana to me crosman umarex gamo hatsan and so on is over prised crap not wort the money weihrauch 50s is a cheap and underrated gun but sadly most people just fall for the feet per second and believe that that's what matters

If travis says it’s sucks then it’s sucks

Ok I’ve been shooting for many years. And for years gamo have been crap. I had one just to try. And sent it back after a week. They are not made to last. And since bsa got took over by gamo they have gone down hill too. I had a fibre optic sight completely fall off on the first shot. Stay well always….

hello , . that rotating breech is i believe first seen on a bsa RB airsporter . most low budget guns needs some love .

You kept saying “you can’t go wrong with these older guns!” But what is it?

I have the original Acc 22 caliber that was renamed CFX by Gamo . At the time it was offered in .177 also . Mine is ten years old now and has no such issues . Mine didn't come with the scope rail , out of the box it came a Centerpoint 3x9x40mm AO scope that included a one piece mount . I thought great this will work ...not . It shoots CPHP 14.3 grain with ease . After a while the scope would not hold zero . Anyone expecting this rifle to be a powerhouse will be in for a let down . Its not a high dollar rifle , got mine for 130.00 . Lower your expectations or empty your wallet .If you expect it to shoot like a rifle costing 3 or 4 times more then don't buy it SIMPLE. But once cry latter . I upgraded the scope to a UTG 3x12x44mm SF with the 30mm tube and matching one piece mount , its working great . I always make sure the pellets are well seated before closing the breech . Some pellets may be to long for the breech ? Watched many videos and read a lot articles on this rifle . Removed my open sights as I like using a scope . Thanks for doing this and the best of luck .

You bought Gamo, you got what you deserve, mass produced, cheaply designed and cheaply made big box store garbage. Ya'll dumb.

I'm hoping it works out for you and the gun gets better. I kind of wanted one of these since I missed out buying one in the past. As a consumer you shouldn't have to fix issues. That should have been dealt with at the factory. Period. Here are some things you might want to look at though. Is the front sight adjustable by loosening the grub screw on the muzzle? As for the rear, is there a stop that prevents the scope mount from moving or is the screw tight? I mean most higher end spring guns usually do. It may be absent on some youth guns. I dont know how that gun is put together but I always thought that it was usually break barrels that had droop issues and that was the reason for creating underlevers. I could see it having that issue if the breach block is separate from the piston tube. I myself prefer to have functioning open sights on all of my guns, if i can. I believe Gamo USA is thinking, "We'll just throw on and not test the crappy iron sights to save money. They can just use the scope. Nobody uses iron sights in this day an age." 🙄

The rotating breech is neat for loading but it means more seals and a much longer air transfer port. Definitely an interesting one to test

Had a cfx years ago and was very happy with its accuracy. I had a scope on mine and I'd recommend you fit a nice airrifle rated scope and watch your groups get tighter

You should make a loading tool. Just a dowel with the end turned down to pellet size maybe 1/8th inch long just so you can consistently seat pellets. I bet it would help. Also, break it in with like 200+ shots and see if it survives and smoothes up. The norica was much worse since it just straight up broke lol

Glad I didn’t buy one!

Maybe the power plant needs working in too

Aww! man! I can already feel your pain with this gun lol! First I want to say thanks for mentioning my channel really appreciate that So I am going to try and keep this short as you know I made 3 full videos on this air rifle so if anyone want to see what I really have to say they can go watch them. First thing my CFX shot really well for the first few days of testing so that is when I made my first video after that it tanked like nobody's business and the rest is history total crap air rifle for me with so many issues it is now and over sized paper weight taking up space in one of my gun cabinets. I spent way more time with that air rifle then I ever should of so I am very curious to see how things turn out with you and your final thoughts on the CFX once you finally get so mad you are done with it lol! As far as MR. RIck usler airgun web TV I had a long chat with him about this exact CFX air rifle and he never once disagreed with me on the issues I told him I had with it but he did not agree either basically he did not say anything. Other then well it really is only a 10yd to 15yd gun to which my reply was that is crap and just tells me how much of a crap gun it really is lol! and that was pretty much the end of our convesation. I do know he took the CFX to florida to shoot Iguanas but ended up using a bone collector and a swarn 10X gen 3 over the CFX SO I would love to know why that was lol. I do wish you the best with that CFX but don't get your hopes up. Also were did you get that peep site at as that is what they should have put on the Crosman 362 anniversary one lol. On another note I would like to send you one of my custom Bravo Bassin 1 inch MOA coins that I had made so you can use it when you are showing your shot groups. It has my logo on one side and a set of mil-dot cross hairs on the other so if you did not want to show my logo you can use the other side with the cross hairs instead, Anyway shoot m a message at my email: [email protected] so I can get your mailing address and I will send you one of my coins out to you if you are ok with that. And also keep making great honest videos as we need more guys like you and I out there over these sponored influancers that will not tell you the truth about stuff.

I bought the Gamo Bone shaker about two years ago, break barrel, at Walmart assembled the scope and started sighting it in, to give a howdy to squirrels in my garden, and Rats. Could not seem to get the scope they supplied zeroed in. would get it great...after a few shots way off again. The cheap scope supplied started to get loose in the scope mount, and was just Junk!!! bought a way better scope, had to buy higher/taller scope clamp on holders on amazon for the opticals were too big to use the ones supplied with the Junk scope. It was a gamo changer wow. very accurate, Love the new scope!!! Love the Bone shaker now!!!

I hope the Vapor 10x they are going to come out with doesn't have any similar problems. I've been looking forward to it

Thats my favorite airgun reviewer NOT 😂

Geez I was thinking about buying myself to add to my collection. After learning of potential problems I think it's prudent to stay on the sidelines until we know more. Keep us posted on how you make out with it. Thanks

I have one modern Gamo break barrel and the barrel is mounted crooked so the steel hinge forks were gouging the plastic breach block. Also it shot left all the time, meaning the rifle was and is useless. I should have returned it but didn't, so it's just sitting in the closet. It's weird because I have an old Daisy model 130A break barrel, and it was made by Gamo in Spain, and it's a great rifle, I've always enjoyed it, and it's super accurate, reliable, and never any issues. So I don't know what they are doing these days. Weird thing is, I did buy one of those cheap chinese B3's and a B1, and after some TLC and tuning, they are both fun to shoot and very accurate, so no complaints there, no crooked barrels and somehow I got lucky because neither of them have any barrel droop, and I've read that's common with those, so I guess I was lucky this time.

All yes as far as the sponsored channels I learned the hard way, a few years ago to stay away from the B.S., I wasted thousands of $$$$$$ listening to those channels... Big C... OUT... Again...😎 Wish there were more channels that would do 6 month/1-2-year reviews... there you go you got me started... Hitting the breaks... You know what I'll E-mail you Big C, over and out...😎

Hit and miss with Gamos. The wood stock Bone Collector Swarms seem to be the exception.

I have some break barrels, that I didn't clean the barrel. It took some were from 500- 1000 shots for it to settle in and get accurate, (same with my PCP's) ... Have some pump and CO2 rifles, and pistols, that I spent the time scrubbing (cleaning) and polishing the barrel, and it only took some were around 25 - 50 rounds for the barrel to settle in... Aside from break barrels, PCPs, and pumps, that fact still remains that the barrels that were cleaned and polished for me were inherently more accurate, quicker than not... Some others may have better results... Just troughing in my 5 cents... Hope it helps... Big C out...😎

Wow Alaska..I have 3 Gamos and they are all pretty good...I know some people (friends included) who dont like them at all..I dont know what they cost but I don't care for the looks of it myself. I hope it pans out for you!..👍

I have that exact same rear sight on the swarm that went to crap, its accuracy was on another level of bad though😄 I'm surprised Gamo doesn't make an underlever Swarm? That breech does look annoying to load.

You're right - don't cut videos.

I have my father's 25. From when he was a kid. I'm missing the tube that holds the BB's. No idea how old it must be , but I'm assuming it's from like the 50's.

I'm blind in my right eye thanks to the #25. I had to switch to left handed. Naturally my #25 was long gone by the time I left the hospital. No more bb guns until I was an adult. I'm an airgun junkie now pushing 70. I mostly shoot paper and cans, haven't hunted in 30 years. I mostly shoot pcp now, but collect old BB/pellet guns and replicas. I have more old Daisy's than Crosmans but the older guns are usually more accurate than the new ones. I've just ordered the parts to salvage two more all metal 880's, one of which is the first edition. Anyways, enjoyed the video its a fun hobby. I'll hit that subscribe for you.

I did not expect the pump arm on the 25 to bend like a bug leg I actually kinda jumped😄I might have to get one just for the unique factor.

i just purchased a Crossman 2100 that says right on it Made In China.

it is said that the daisy model 25 is the king of b-b gun's. it is a fine one l own one from 1928 and l went through it cleaned it up it was already in good condition and boy it shoot's hard they say the early ones shot almost up to 400fps l would like to crony mine but l don't own one.

couple of cool looking little plinkers

8-10 yds is usually the max for the daisy's

Harry Vermeegen? so u are in Alaska now😅?🤣

Man, that looks like a lot of fun! 👍 I'm liking that Daisy No. 25, even though the Winchester cycles faster. I've never seen that 25 in action before. I thought you had to pump it like a phnematic pump gun. I wonder how smooth I can get the action. Lol I want one now. 😅 (Hmm my first post disappeared. KZfaq doesn't like me. 😂)

I really enjoy this channel because you mostly stick to the affordable guns. This is the first time I've seen the No. 25 in action. It looks way cool to shoot; I might have to fork out some more $ to get one some day. Not surprised you had trouble at 50 feet, as it's rated at only 350 fps, only about 100 fps higher than the Red Ryder. In fact, you can use the Red Ryder "Shooting Gallery" with a rubber mat that acts as a bb catcher, allowing young shooters to shoot their Red Ryders and Bucks indoors, in the basement. The box says "don't shoot anything over 350 fps" with this. So you could shoot the No. 25 even with that Red Ryder shooting gallery. A little historical information about the No. 25: I have been doing a little research on the history of the Daisy 880, and I purchased the "It's A Daisy!" history of the first 90 years of the Daisy company, written by son of one of the founders, and then himself a long time president/head of the company dude of Daisy, Cass Hough. Cass kept a diary over the years, and used that as a reference to various decisions made that resulted in some of Daisy's most famous guns. He writes about Charles Fred LeFever, the engineer/inventor behind the No 25. In late 1911, Lefever, who was from St. Louis, wrote a letter to Ed Hough at Daisy in Plymouth, MI. It said "I have designed and built a model of a pump action air rifle, which I would like to have you see with a view toward its manufacture." Hough delayed answering, so Lefever, sent another letter saying Daisy wasn't the only company in the air rifle business, and if they didn't act properly, he would go elsewhere. Normally, this would offend a company president, but Hough was intrigued by the boldness of this guy, so Hough traveled to St. Louis (not the other way around) to see what LeFever had to offer. When Hough saw the plans, he realized this was pretty sophisticated for the time, and made LeFever an offer. LeFever sort of accepted stating "Well , if you're really deadly serious about making this gun, I'll come to Plymouth for a few months to get you started, but that's all." He stayed until 1953. It took more than a year to engineer and produce the tools for the first pump gun, but by 1913 they had a prototype to show. It went into full production in 1914, and over 8,000,000 copies of the gun were produced by the time Cass Hough wrote his book in 1976. I would not of typed all this, except when I saw this video, I thought I remembered reading about this engineer who made a pump gun that was supposedly still around. When I saw this video, and the stamped engraving on the receiver, I thought, "that's the gun!" and looked it up. Hope you enjoyed the story.

Can a kid pump it?

I agree, there not made like they were years ago. Sad...

I've seen this match up before. 25 beats 12, lil duke beats 25, sheridan beat duke, and Red Ryder wins all 😊. I've never had any of those myself.
