I've got nothing against Gamo. For several years my main rifle was a CF30. It obviously won't break any accuracy or power records, and to start with peformance was a little inconsistent, but once I'd put a couple of tins of pellets through it it settled down nicely. It was a little pellet-fussy, preferring Gamo's own brand pellets to H&N FTT, which are my general preference. However, it filled its share of game bags, and though I now tend to use a Webley PCP or an Xocet, I still use the CF30 from time to time and get good results from it.
