Looking closley at this model and the Remington Summit .22. I like the idea of a solid barrel with the under cocking mechanism.

I don't fined them to be a prob...But I use mine for hunting

Yes they are a bit more of a hassel than a brake barrel..

but they are a very good gun..

I've heard of the rotary mechanism messing up skirts because the pellet was not seated properly, but a minor flaw. Generally the CFX has OK performance for the price.

Seriously though, the rhetoric of "get the Diana XX" is real. They cost extra for a reason, but you get what you pay for. If power is your thing, the 460 is a great underlever choice. The TX200 from AirArms is also a winner, but it is low power for field target use (still one helluva gun).
