Nice. I have a 2250B (no mods as yet) and really like it. I'm going to invest in a silencer though, backyard plinking......it sounds a little louder than my Beeman RS1 .177 and I don't want it to annoy the neighbors 😉
the grey squirrel is an introduced species in England (and other places) which displace native squirrels (The Red Squirrel). If more people ate the organic bounty the land provides, and less on factory farmed animals, you might find yourself enjoying a bit healthier lifestyle and saving a few bucks at the same time. Plus everyone should spend time in nature, whether it's fishing, hiking, camping or hunting. People have lost a huge connection with nature and our hunter gatherer history.
I have been a shooter and a hunter since I was 7 years old and that was a very long time ago. I have no hesitation in shooting Squirrels, Rabbits, Rats, Corvids and other legally defined pests if they started to cause damage . But it really gets on my tits when lame and stupid excuses such as ' Grey Squirrels Are an Introduced Species and Not Native' keeps coming up as a justification for shooting them. Are Foxes or Rabbits introduced species too? Rabbits have been here in the UK for over two thousand years, foxes for ever. Just how long does a creature need to be living here before it is considered native ? We shoot them because in large numbers they cause damage to the enviroment and bring finiancial ruin and they are legally defined as pests and not because they are not native or otherwise.
So true, our increasing dependence on government (socialism) is turning each new generation into a new race of helpless homo sapiens, which is not good. I see posts on my Nextdoor App, where people need help for even the simplest tasks anymore, such as painting a bathroom, or installing wood trim along the floor. Most people cannot even change a flat tire on their car! I really am fearful for our coming society. Fortunately, Being over 70 years old, I will not have to live in it!
@@eagleviewhd Quite so. The other day my mother asked me to change a wheel on her car. I said "You're nearly 80 years old, surely you know how to change a flat tyre!" She's just lazy. So i made her change the thing herself and even though it took the best part of 7 hours, she learned a lesson she will never forget.
I just got 2400kt in on Friday. It took 100 rounds for the thing to settle into groups of 5/8" @ 20 yards and a hair over 1" @ 28 yards CTC. That was using RWS Super Dome 14.5 gr pellets in .22 cal. I am anticipating getting the 28 yard groups down to 3/4" and the 20 yard groups down to under 1/2" after I get more comfortable with the gun. Right now a pool noodle around the upper stock rail to rest the cheek so I won't have to strain so much keeping a good picture in the Hawke 2-7X32 and a bench rest more comfortable than the deck railing I am currently using is the immediate order. It's too bad the barrel of the one tested here was not broken in before the review. My first groups sucked ass too. Those groups were cut after polishing the sear linkage with a 1200 grit diamond hone.
This USA Oregon lady is ready to find a silencer gun to rid her patio of fuzzy rats. They destroy my potted plants and even my hummingbird feeder !!!! My neighbors cannot know.
I have a modified Crosman 2240 which is very similar to the 2250. I installed a steel breech, 14.5” barrel, lighter trigger spring, homemade stock adapter and hammer spring adjuster that replaced the Tube Plug, a 6-way adjustable tactical stock, a homemade silencing barrel shroud, and a scope. It is very accurate and fun to shoot. I uploaded some videos to youtube on how to make the silencing barrel shroud, as well as how to make a night vision scope adapter and a scope cam for this gun. Check out Eagle View HD which is my channel.
A "lb" is slang for the British curacy POUND which is about $1.50USD/ 1 British pound sterling AKA its a $500 scope on a $1200 air rifle to kill a gray squirrel. And his stupidly ridiculous mounts, camo and British superiority complex.
You could make a Davy Crockett style Hat from the Squirrel tails , Mr Fox would be pleased if you left a few for him , ,looks like a good days Hunting , V V
Squirrel's are littering the highway this year due to a bumper crop of acorns last year. I have 2 youngsters getting in the house and eating all the cats food.
I want to buy a daystate Id be happy to buy the huntsman regal I watched another video of you with the mk 4 and it dealt with rabbits with ease would the regal huntsman do the same or not @theshootingshow
Is it legal to go to a national park in the UK such as Dartmoor and hunt grey squirrels with an air rifle, without going through the effort of getting permission?
Damn Crosman company, they can't mount Steel breech kit in stock C.2250B?! OMG why?! I pay for this sub pistol about 136 dollars in new condition and now i must buy this kit for 54.45 dollars in Poland! This is crazy!!! I'm unhappy custommer of first crosman air gun. Sorry for my bad language im from Poland and writing without translator.
Are squirrels hard to come by in the UK? I ask because all the hunting videos from there talk about stalking, building hides and feature guys all kitted up head to toe in fancy camo. We only do that for big game here in the US so thats why I ask. You can almost wear street clothes here and bag squirells. Just need some patience. A cheap squirrel call from a sporting goods store and homemade chewing call (i use a large coin scrapped against a medium-large screw) work wonders.
They are not hard to come by, but they are Hunter savvy. They are an invasive species across the pond, and seem to know they are on the most wanted list. They are hurting the red squirrel population, as well as the songbirds. Gray Squirrels eat the eggs, and baby chicks, and they can transmit diseases that the native red squirrels have no defense against.
Capt Sealeg Actually, our friends in the UK are only allowed a maximum of 12lbs. of shooting pressure. We have no restrictions on pressure over here. Which has taught the UK boys to become very adept at taking heads, which is also much more humane and expedient than center mass.
Capt Sealeg Oooops, that's embarrassing. I thought you were here in the States, and I thought you meant that they must be using something a little more powerful over there(UK). Well, at the least.....that's all I got wrong......right?
i think its wishful thinking by us brits including me that we are really hunting and packing serious heat lol down to the bullshit gun laws we have here in the uk i guess we will have to keep pretending eh ??
si Don't make ignorant comments! Enjoy fried chicken or pork chops? Half their diet is their feces, which they also live in..........that's what I thought FOO!!
SFBayArea51 it must be great to either be able to afford all named/branded equipment, or be sponsored by them....until then, i will will stick to army surplus clothing :)
+Vijyes Yechuri Hi, even on a relatively low powered air rifle (sub-12 foot pounds), a moderator makes a massive difference. Air rifles can make a massive bark without one, scaring away prey and upsetting your neighbours.
Vijyes Yechuri you apparently have not heard how loud some pellet guns are. My 22 caliber is almost as loud as a .22 caliber rimfire rifle. Definitely would scare off any other squirrels or rabbits!
Shoot to kill a beautiful peaceful animal? That is NO spirit, even tree was more beautiful because of this little animal, and you just killed a beautiful nature for NOTHING just to please you own desire.
Angel Eye, squirrels have caused over $2,000 damage to my house. I like squirrels, but when they cause damage like that, they are pests. I will trap them alive if I can, but I will also put a pellet through them to protect my property.
Thanks again. Always a pleasure to watch your shows!
Always read your hunts in the magazine, it's great to see it televised. Hope there's plenty more to come.... Top show.
That daystate is a beautiful rifle. Very quiet too. 22 cal is a good one for pest control

The squirrels have developed a tate for penis?! Jeez we're in trouble!

We also need far less people in order to make that happen. The reality is that we are at double our capacity on earth.

Oi from america and, i enjoyed this video
Can the Crossman rat catcher 2250 xl instantly kill rats?
Nice one Matt
another great show
If enough of the grays are shot will it bring back the correct red squirrels?
Hello how are you I think a good rifle Crosman Vantage NP (30021) for shooting at a crow?
a Victor rat trap and some peanut butter would work better
Yh but airguns
cleaner kill with a airgun, less potential of suffering plus you bag a fresh bit of food for nothing
Whats all the camo for? Bit OTT isn't it?
I have a modified Crosman 2240 which is very similar to the 2250. I installed a steel breech, 14.5” barrel, lighter trigger spring, homemade stock adapter and hammer spring adjuster that replaced the Tube Plug, a 6-way adjustable tactical stock, a homemade silencing barrel shroud, and a scope.

love the video matt.Great shooting too! but may i ask why you dont eat them? one of my favorite meats!!
i see these man coming with there 300 pound scopes and daystates give me a 12 foot pound brake barrel an a cheap scope an your flying just aswell
pint size slasher your grammar gave me cancer. And whats a 300 lb scope?

What about laser guides for a hand pellet gun ?

Thats a lot of good meat there.
Squirrel's are littering the highway this year due to a bumper crop of acorns last year. I have 2 youngsters getting in the house and eating all the cats food.

Tom Sheehy you poor people move to the u.s.a.
Is it legal to go to a national park in the UK such as Dartmoor and hunt grey squirrels with an air rifle, without going through the effort of getting permission?
You have to get permission to hunt on private property by the owners.
Damn Crosman company, they can't mount Steel breech kit in stock C.2250B?! OMG why?! I pay for this sub pistol about 136 dollars in new condition and now i must buy this kit for 54.45 dollars in Poland! This is crazy!!! I'm unhappy custommer of first crosman air gun.

Good show
Can you shoot squirrels on your own property without liscence
if you are a scumbag, probably
yes they are a pest and they are killing our trees

Squirrel meat makes tasty table fare..I like it in stew.
I've always wanted to try squirrel stew
This guy has like 10 different types of camo on. lmao
I had the same reaction. I suspect that army snipers in Afghanistan don't wear as much kit.
SFBayArea51 it must be great to either be able to afford all named/branded equipment, or be sponsored by them....until then, i will will stick to army surplus clothing :)

;_; poor squirrels. good thing we have alot of them here in the bronx cx
In pommy land, have ya's got anything bigger to shoot, other than squirrels and foxes ??
Deer, red deer being the largest. Getting permission to shoot on someone's land can be difficult though.
If i don't eat it i don't shoot it. But that's just me.
Fox Mulder unless another creature comes along and steals your quarry
Thank you , 11 months to late, but no one should kill an animal if not going to eat it.
I'm a kid and I love hunting squirrels and that's what my dad told me
No one can afford those guns
Eat the squirrel s
It's bullshit how in the UK you can only bye a 22 maximum air rifle
what do you use bbs or pelets?
+Kyle Price
+Daniel Patrick so would you would recommend steel bbs?
No..... I stick with your normal everyday average BB
More so than the pellets . . . . . yes.
+Daniel Patrick No way a BB shooting through a smooth barrel is more accurate.
I laugh so hard in this video
so did i when he put his felt sniper =/ninja mask on he is squirrel zoro
That was questionable at 3:33
If the SSPCA are as disingenuous as the RSPCA heaven help shooters and land owners.
not gonna eat them bad boys?
Tasty are they mate 🍖

Why would you want to kill a defenceless creature for no reason. If you want to eat meat go to lidles

Shoot rats and mice, no squirrels.
He just kill chip and dale :(
