Things I liked:A great-looking rifle with oiled Beechwood stock, holds its own in the company of some other fine rifles.
I ordered mine with the Air Venturi gas spring installed at Pyramid, and I replaced the factory trigger with a "Charlie" trigger, the GRT III.
A Center Point 3 x 9 x 40 adjustable optic, duplex reticle scope was installed

I ordered mine with the Air Venturi gas spring installed at Pyramid, and I replaced the factory trigger with a "Charlie" trigger, the GRT III.
A Center Point 3 x 9 x 40 adjustable optic, duplex reticle scope was installed after removing the rifle from the box. The Center Point scope also comes with a heavy-duty set of rings, designed for the heavy recoil of powerful air rifles.
I optically centered the scope and mounted it on the rifle. I had it zeroed in with five shots, and I'm getting sub-half inch groups at forty feet, having put about a hundred rounds through it.
What a great shooter! Things I would have changed:The front sight housing is unecessarily large. The front ghost ring is also unecessary- A plain fiber optic sight without the hood, screwed onto the barrel, similar to the Hammerli and RWS designs, would have been preferable to me.
However, if you are an 'Iron Sight' guy, you will love it. My old eyes see better through a scope.
The front sight housing does not interfere with the scope's field of view, so it's no big deal- just my own preference for aesthetics. What others should know:I have been shooting rifles for many years, and the CFX Royal Underlever offers a fine-looking, highly accurate, and fuctional rifle for the money.
In terms of power and accuracy, this rifle offers a good balance of both, and it will hold its own with rifles of any price range or make.

Things I liked:Nice looking gun with good bluing and nicely finished stock. Mine came with a Center Point 3x9x40 adjustable objective airgun scope, and it is accurate.
I purchased this gun from Pyramid in December 2008. Velocity is advertised at 1000fps with PBA non-lead ammo. I use the heavier RWS 9.3 grain supermag wadcutters and H&N Match

I purchased this gun from Pyramid in December 2008. Velocity is advertised at 1000fps with PBA non-lead ammo. I use the heavier RWS 9.3 grain supermag wadcutters and H&N Match 8.09 grain wadcutters, attaining velocities of around 900fps; quite respectable for heavy pellets.
Things I would have changed:At first, cocking was a little rough, and the recoil fore and aft was heavy, associated with a little 'twang' as the spring unloaded. The heavy two-stage trigger and the heavy recoil prevented me from achieving any real accuracy before the trigger job and tune-up. What others should know:I installed the GRT III after-market trigger produced by Bob Werner, aka. 'CharlieDaTuna', and I had the gun tuned by Gene Curtis of Airgun Toys in South Carolina. Both actions turned this little Remington into a real shooter! At forty feet the gun will produce 10 shot groups consistantly at 3/8" diameter or less.
Whether you buy this gun, a Gamo, or an RWS, they all require a little tweaking and tuning before they become real 'shooters'. Rifles advertised at 1000 fps need ammo in the 7.5 to 9.5 grain weight category. Ammo weights lighter than 7.0 or heavier than 10.0 can damage pistons and seals.
The Remington Summit is a good shooter for both targets and small game, and it looks like some of its Big-Brother Remingtons. This gun is a lot fun!

Things I liked:A very accurate, high quality, uniform and symmetrical pellet. Each pellet appears to be identical to the next, without perceivable flaws. Things I would have changed:Add screw-lid to the cannister. What others should know:I have not found a more accurate pellet for target shooting. I've heard folks complain

Things I would have changed:Add screw-lid to the cannister. What others should know:I have not found a more accurate pellet for target shooting. I've heard folks complain about their cost but, like everything else, you get what you pay for, and I think these are some of the best pellets available at any cost.

Things I liked:These high quality pellets are some of the most accurate I've shot. Each pellet appears to be identical to the one before it, without any perceivable flaws. They fit the gun's bore like they were made for that gun, with no appreciable 'play' around the skirt. At 9.3 grains, they have good trajectory and they also hit hard. After

They fit the gun's bore like they were made for that gun, with no appreciable 'play' around the skirt. At 9.3 grains, they have good trajectory and they also hit hard. After shooting for a couple of hours, there is no visible lead residue on my hands. Things I would have changed:Add screw-lid on cannister. What others should know:For practical purposes, these are as accurate for me as are the H&N Match grade pellets selling for more.
