I will certainly ask him if he has those in stock and the cost. As you can probably tell, I've yet to make up my mind what I intend to get but I appreciate the offer of selling me those parts, for the cost of replacement plus shipping, that's very fair of you!

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.

Yes, I did have an old Sheridan 2040 in .20, it was my dads pistol when he was a pest control officer. It never got much use and by the time I decided to put it to use I think the seals were shot. I'd definitely get a steel breech, I am quite skeptical about the barrel mounted scopes. It is a shame the 2250XL isn't availabke over here, with steel breech and longer barrel as standard. I wonder if Youngs Airgun Centre would look into importing them? I'm sure they would be popular here. EDIT: didn't think the original message was posted as I had an error message for spamming come up, apparently I had posted too many times in quick succession...

I'm sceptical about that way of mounting the scope so would get a steel breech. It is a shame the 2250XL isn't available here with the steel breech and longer barrel as standard. When I give Youngs a call, I'll ask him if the XL version is something he could look into importing, I'm sure it would be popular.

If that 250b has been sitting for a couple of years, I'd be asking about the seals. Also haven't heard very good things about the barrel scope mounts.
Steel breech replacent seems to be the most recommended way of getting a scope on. |

A 2250B has just been listed on trademe, pick up is in Auckland though so no good to me.
Also, anyone looking at the Crosman 2260 rifles on trademe? Well over my budget currently but might be of interest to someone on here. Edited by Elliot87 - 06 Mar 2023 at 8:27pm |

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.

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. |

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. Edited by Elliot87 - 05 Mar 2023 at 9:01pm |
