Which CO2 or multi pump?

Preset your shooting spots around the barn and get cover in place way before you start shooting. Let them get use to it.
I shot way more starlings here than I ever got on the farm, simply because on the farm I just started shooting in plan sight. They picked up pretty quick what a gun was. Here it's taken them a while mostly because I've always shot from the bathroom.(I have both windows covered off and a drop sheet down one side of window because they set sentries on a tree that could look in from above on that side which I had to stick me head out the window to see. When nesting season comes if you lay off them let them nest and lay, you'll get better results as they have to come back to chick's.
On farm I started in nesting season by fluke, as soon as nesting season was over they split to other trees on the farm. Set up a couple of hides or cover on the opposite side of where your shooting for later on when they get onto you. They will get smart and start coming in from behind cover thats blocking your view. They can get into and out of thier crevice nest at a surprising rate. Way faster than you could aim and shoot.

Thanks Kruz and I agree with the sentiment. There's not a heap of active members on here but I really like the communtiy spirit. 

FPM, appreciate the recommendation but I am in the process of buying a break barrel from Paul, just waiting on the mail order form to be processed now.  That's half the problem, if I had that in my hands I'd be spending more time out shooting that and less time thinking about other guns I'd like to buy.  What appeals to me about the CO2 and pump guns is that they should shoot a bit more like a pcp and I would think be quieter than most springers, once surpressed. I don't need a lot of power for starlings around the barn so CO2 shouldn't be an issue. I'll have the break barrel for extra power when I need it.

I'm an airgun shooter. Not a sales person. I had mercs offer the same with a steel breach when I got the 362. I really appreciated that.
Should be a community of shooters on here. I'm happy to help where I can.
Won't kill me Im not getting to far with my big Feb plans anyway. Bloody rain.

Ask him about a longer barrel breach too. If you go for a steel breach from him make sure you get an end cap and bolt. Or see if Pauly has time to make em. I've got all three if you need em, and will charge you the replacement cost of breech and to get new bolt and end cap made from above person if he has the time. Also the postage.

A 2250B has just been listed on trademe, pick up is in Auckland though so no good to me.
