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.

Perfectly accurate and consistent, that is what I loved about pcp's and why these are an appealing alternative.  I'm leaning towards "the ratcatcher." I was just looking at the thread where you show bulk filling yours and it looks great but I'm sure beyond what I could do myself currently.  Even if I could do it, not sure I'd be brave enough to try. I think I would work on getting it shooting well with CO2 capsules first and maybe try bulk filling down the line.

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

Yeah I saw in another thread that your hand had been operated on, I hope the recovery goes well!

That's good to know you still do them, if I need a new trigger I'll get in touch, if you're making the new option by then I'd be happy to try one of those out.

Thanks for the link, 2250XL looks very interesting, accuracy to 35m is quite a claim.

Looks as if standard Crosman metal breech conversion at $100 and barrel may well be available from Youngs Airguns, perhaps without thread, will have to investigate further.

According to this review http://airgunshooting.co.uk/article/gun-test-crosman-2250-xl it produces 25 shots at 9fte with 14.3 grain accupells, by the 35th shot it had dropped to a respectable 7fpe.  I did read some issues with the threading for the silencer causing a loss of accuracy with a silencer fitted, presumably it was not quite straight and caused some clipping, but that was on a forum thread around 10 years ago so I would assume this with have been sorted on later batches produced.

I'd be interested to know if Youngs Airguns could get these in or source the barrels for them.  I'd be very tempted to get one.

Co2 is great for small pests as you can suppress it easily. The Air Chief rapid repeater is good value as it comes with metal breech ready for optics, suppressor, multishot mag and longer barrels.
All that can be done to the 2250, but would cost more for the same spec.

There is something fun about doing it yourself and making something custom but i do know he is out of long barrels and has been for some time so who knows when they will be back.

In an ideal world I would buy a 2250XL but as they don't seem to be available over here, the rapid repeater is probably a better option, although I do really like the idea of getting a standard 2250 and customising it.  I keep reading about people polishing this and replacing that and I only half understand what they're doing, so I think its about time I learnt myself.
