Winter Targets

Too cold outside in the evening, moved indoors with a carefully located board for some freehand practice.

I just picked up a near brand new 2250b for $200 from Tauranga H&F I forgot how fun these crosmans are, and how accurate they are even with open sights. Watch this space for a build over the next few months.

2250 now fitted out with steel breech and Weaver 1.5-4x20 pistol Scope.

It looks great. Good test on the old stalking skills using a pistol. Have never done that myself, but am planning on giving it a go soon.

Hi guys,
What’s the difference between a 2240 and a 2250, besides a few years?

I use one of these for work, looks like a 2240 from the pics Mercs posted.
The one I use is a .22, co2 powered single shot pistol. Use it for dispatching possums, rats, ferrets, rabbits and hedgehogs that make their way into our live traps, so it is all 10cm shots to the back of the head, works just fine.

I’ve never considered playing with it at 10m for some plinking, but maybe I’ll give it a try and see if I can get it to group 😉

I’ve often thought that a pumper pistol would be more practical for the occasional dispatching of a pest, because the co2 sometimes looses pressure inbetween uses and then needs a new co2 cartridge just to dispatch one pest.
A pumper would be less wasteful, but would it be able to dispatch a possum from 10cm?

Got a pic up of a very dead one from a couple of feet 1322. Went out like a. Light.
