My new Crosman 2250 super modified. Has valve and porting work, 24"barrel and trigger mods. She does 760fps at 24 degrees celsius and 650fps at 9 degrees celsius. So she is still effective in the cold. She has a nice long silencer to tone down her voice. The light on the side is a car spotlight that I modified and fitted. I put a switch on the housing and run it off a 12volt battery. It is perfect for popping Possums out the trees as the spot lights the whole tree up. I have another spotlight for rabbits that has a focussed beam that will light up a rabbit at 100m.

Possums are anywhere between 10m-30m Rabits anywhere out to 65m but have taken some at 120m with my FX Typhoon.

That some real good shootin there Andre,

I would have a hard time seeing a rabbit 120M away, let alone hitting it with an air gun. But then your eyes are sure sharper than mine.

Thanks for your reply, and good hunting,

I wouldn't say it was my eyesight being good. It must be the scope. 4-12X44 Mildot. I could actually focus on the badge of a car at 400m and make out that it was a Toyota. I drove past and sure enough it was. I'm looking at upgrading to the Leapers 8-32X56. That should work even better.
