Which CO2 or multi pump?

All good, I can get parts made when you want to go down that line. If you don't want the weight of a big 12oz bottle you could use 88grm cartridges as a lighter option

I've got a Cannon Multipump, cr600w, and 250b and I love each of them.

If you are going for the Cannon get the one with longer barrel and suppressor as they are loud. Mine isn't suppressed. Can't go wrong with the price.

Cr600w is bulk filled c02. With bulk filling you get a much more consistent shots over using the capsules and will get you approximately 400-500 shots and costs $5 to fill. Extremely accurate at 20m

2250b is bulkfilled too and suppressed. I miss the magazine for follow up shots but there are options out there for upgrading to multishot.

For small pest like rats and starlings. What make these guns awesome pest controllers is the fact that they are perfectly accurate and consistent. 2250 is not called the rat catcher for no reason.

I think the gamo scope was adecent bargain even though I didn't really need it. The costly part will be if I do look at getting a second rifle to put it on.  I really should just see how I get on with the gamo CF-S first but this forum is proving to be a bad influence on me.

Gamo 4x32 for $40 cannot go wrong, standard package with their springers, focal length is set for air rifle distances and usable at 10 - 40 metres. Can take a bit of recoil on low to mid-power springers.

I use it out to 25m with great accuracy and have shot out to 29m with same result. I'm assuming the build quality will be about the same. That's not great. But it's accurate as. Mods are plentyful. Trigger will need some work polishing the sears. It's not a great trigger. Plastic breech is absolute crap and needs to be replaced with a steel one ASAP. ( if you go this route and can't get one in a hurry I have a spare one and extended bolt Probe for a project on the back burners due to flooding affecting my work) Its a daily shooter. Light, short accurate it's a pleasure. My personal prefrance is pump as its not dependent on anything else for power. Way the world is going I would well imagine that CO2 cylinders will be an issue at some stage ( pure speculation) From my experiance you with pump there will be times that a target will bugger off before you have repumped, but it's not that often. If your shooting the same area the birds will wise up and they bugger off when you shoot Pump actions will create noise as you pump. I've put a bit of stick on velcro on mine which dampens the sound but doesn't get rid of it. Not such an issue with birds, but I imagine rats would pick up on it. I'm running a gamo scope 4 to 9 mag which I leave at 7x. This mornings first shot on basically the same platform as 2250b at 24m
