My hunting pistol
« on: May 15, 2007, 07:52:31 PM »
I've had this Crosman 2240 for a couple months now and used it a few times for hunting. I've taken a couple Myna's, Bushtailed possums and Cottentails. It was built for me by Adrian here in New Zealand. I was getting around 15 shots per 12g powerlet at 600fps at 24 degrees celsius. I decided to bulk it and sent it back to Adrian for a retune. Noiw she does 595fps at 17 degrees. Can't wait to see what she will do in the sun. She has a 12" barrel with the Crosman steel breech. My home made trigger. She is still in 22. I'm just waiting for my silencer adaptor to arrive cause lets face it all ladies need to be silenced. HAHA. Scope is a Bushnel Trophy 1X30 Red dot

Hey Andre, very nice piece of work there.  Do you ever get out in the bush with Damage? The silencer should really quiet her down. I expect she is making quite a pop when she is fired without it. We cannot have silencers here as I am sure you know. Or at least if you do you have to go through a load of paperer work with the Gov.

Anyway thanks for sharing your baby...:) I am sure some of the GTA members will appreciate the power of the pistola you have there..:)

Yes Gene I have been out a few times with Sean. I make a habit of travelling the 600 od kilometers for a hunting visit. He has just left my place after the Champs last weekend.
