This ones for all the 22XX owners out there:
hey guys. I’ve just bought myself a crosman 2250b ratcatcher and I’m planning on tuning it up for pest control on my farm, primarily rabbit and possum. I’ve had years of experience shooting with break barrels (higher fpe than the 2250 though..). I’ve read a lot of mixed information regarding wether or not the 2250 is suitable for this sized game so I intend to find out for myself.. The incentive to use a co2 airgun (and adding multi shot breach) is definitely a big one for me as it’s a bloody nightmare trying reload a break barrel in the dark, knee deep in cow poop
.. there are other higher powered co2 Airguns floating around but they’re a little bit hard to get hold of down here. I also like the idea of tinkering around with it for a hobby. So now you know my incentive to use such style Airguns my questions are:
-1) what is your dream set up for max power on a 2250 running co2?
-2) if money weren’t a limiting factor, what mods would you do to achieve max power?
-3) first hand accounts? If so what’d you do? What kind of power did you get?
I reiterate, no PCP or HPA..
The reason I cannot go PCP or HPA is because they require a licence where I live, however there is no limit on FPE like they have in the uk and other places.
Lastly i know there is no substitute for a well placed shot.. I've dropped many bucks with a low powered air rifle, but I’d still love to have some extra ooomph on my side.
CHEERS GUYS!
