What kind of accuracy out of a crosman custom shop 2240?

What kind of accuracy can a custom shop 2240 with a 10.1" barrel achieve at 25 yards scoped? I might look into one, but I also have other things on my mind. If I could hit a squirrel at 25 yards with a 2240 in the head, would the pellet penetrate? I mainly would target shoot with it if I got one, but might try a shot on a squirrel.
Thanks,
Jman

It depends somewhat on the barrel and finding the right pellet.... but typically you can shoot dime to nickel sized groups at 25 yd. with a Crosman barrel (length doesn't matter).... Even a stock 2240 has enough power for a squirrel at 25 yards....

Okay. Its either a nice pair of sunglasses (Which I really need), a pair of wakeboarding boots (Afraid ill break a leg literally), or a custom shop 2240 (Uses co2 which adds up and cant be used all year here, and I already have 3 pellet rifles). haha who knows what ill do

Just an opinion but if it were me..
I'd never again make the mistake of buying an expensive pair of sunglasses to lose.. i'd continue using my old wakeboarding boots, good ducktape is waterproof!
but you NEED a new 2240. As do i.

I second JonnyReb's opinion on the sunglasses... unless they have a prescription lens in them, ain't worth the money for what is ultimately a throw away, fragile item that is easily lost.
Haven't wakeboarded in a verrrrryyyy long time (talking back when waking boarding was brand spanking new
... feeling old now), but I was snowboarding a few years back in rented poorly fitting boots and destroyed my shins, so I won't discount the boots as a worthy purchase.

I bought a board at a yardsale, but it didn't come with boots. I thought boots would be wayyy cheaper than what they are. I'll probably just sell the board because I've seen people come off of the lake with broken legs from wakeboarding training. That would not be fun

I have to dissagree about the sunglasses. I have 2 pair of costa del mars and they are worth every penny, but im one of those people that cant stand to loose things. Ive had he same key ring for my car keys for 20 yrs. I fish alot andwas running trough walmart polarized glasses like crazy. Good glasses are worth it.
I do agree with the duct tape. Who needs face boots just tape tat thing to your feet.
Everybody needs a 22xx type gun. I have a 2250 anhave a hpa adapter on order to make it a pcp. Oh yeah no more co2 cartrige anhe conversion was only $70!
