I prefer CO2 powered with a red dot out to 25 yards and will expect to hit a 1 inch plinking target.
Pistol or carbine with steel breech and red dot will be 5-$600 new
Crosman Pistol ($300-$350) Steel Breech with probe and bolt ($120) Red Dot or scope ($120)
 

Pistol scope with long eye relief original mounts


Rifle scope steel breech



Thanks for this, and the pics, much appreciated,

I'm not having any luck with uploading photos guys.  Any suggestions as to why mercs has been able to and I can't?]]> Thu, 27 Mar 2025 18:31:41 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1182&PID=12210#12210 2240 conversation : Great to see some photos.Good... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1182&PID=12209#12209 Author: Pauly5

Increasing velocity almost always helps the accuracy until you get to a point, normally around 950fps where it can destabilize depending on the pellet design.

What you do with a 22xx really depends on what you want from it, they are very versatile! The longer 2250 barrel helps with a bit more power on CO2 but detracts from its compact pistol looks, an HPA conversion as a pistol can be done with the 2240 barrel for good power and a small tidy tube design still keeps it looking like a pistol.

I have heaps of bits in a draw for PCP conversions and multi shot breaches etc, I should really get back into a 22xx build some time.]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2025 10:56:56 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1182&PID=12182#12182 2240 conversation : I would get a 2250 and put grips... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1182&PID=12157#12157 Author: Pauly5

I would get a 2250 and put grips on it for the conversion. Makes it a longer pistol, but more power with longer barrel.
I have some figures on my pistol build if you look at the thread.]]> Sun, 09 Mar 2025 19:57:57 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1182&PID=12157#12157 2240 conversation : Thanks again guys,I&#039;ve another... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1182&PID=12156#12156 Author: Kris

Thanks again guys,
I've another question, in regards to a 2240, does increasing the velocity and muzzle energy adversity affect the accuracy?

That is my understanding. Just to confirm that, there has been a couple of pcp pistols on trademe lately that don't require a license.]]> Sun, 09 Mar 2025 14:28:55 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1182&PID=12152#12152
