A lot of accuracy for not much coin..,

This review is from: Gamo Whisper CFR Air Rifle with 3-9 X 40 AO Rifle Scope and SAT 2-stage adjustable trigger (Sports)
I have owned my cf-r for about 3 months now, and can honestly say that I am more impressed with each day at the range. I am an avid firearms enthusiast, and have always tried to keep airgunning a part of my practicing, but most airguns are either lacking in acuracy, or require the artillary hold to get good groups. While there is something to say for perfecting the nuances necessary to achieve stellat accuracy from an airgun, it doesn't necessarily translate well to firearms. I am not going to hold a .458 Lott with the artillary hold, so it is nice to find an airgun that can be handled more like a firearms. This air rifle fits that definition.
I fired the rifle from a rest at my gun club's range at 50 yards and was able to get 1.5" 10 shot groups with crosman premier lights, and 1.0" groups with gamo hunters (at 8.3 grains). This is on par with a good quality .22lr rimfire. This air rifle is not particularly hold sensitive, and I was seeing velocities of 930-940 fps...Read more

I really like this air gun, very powerful and accurate. It has a very nice feel. It is louder than I expected even with the silencer. Scope is a cheap one but works fine. Loading the pellets is tricky, a small L shaped allen wrench really helps. It does not have an auto safety so it requires some practice to make sure the rifle is on safe. The under lever cocking takes a little practice and is a little more difficult than a break barrel. A very good air rifle and I would buy it again.

Extremely accurate compared to my other break barrel rifles. A little more difficult to load rifle with pellet. Scope is cheap, need to replace with a higher quality scope. Very comfortable hand grip. Definitely, not a whisper for sound, almost as loud as my Gamo SOCOM Elite. This is by far the best of all my air rifles. I would absolute purchase this rifle without any reservations, just get yourself a better scope. You will not be disappointed!!!!
