Cool looking airgun. Is that a tricked Crossman 2240? Whatever it is, I love the suppresor.

Evolution was in parentheses. The only match to airgun and evolution was of a Theoben match gun and this wasn't it. Hell, you can buy a small car  for less than a Theoben. ;)

Could have done without the slo-mo replay ::), but anyone who says an airgun won't work on big game should be convinced. I couldn't have dropped it quicker with an '06.
FQ13 who might look at Cabelas scopes if they will stand up to that level of airgun recoil

Why kill an Iguana like that? I would have captured it. That would make a hell of a pet in the tropics! Those things are neat, and keep the rodent population to a minimum. They like people who feed them.  Bill T.

Actually they eat shrubbery, shit like geese, carry salmonella, and are enough to drive a dog insane. As for pets, other than the above, they bite and scratch, and just like chimps, when they grow up tend to become aggresive when they (the males in particular) come into season. If you want me to mail you a few though.........
FQ13 who will  even throw in a python, a retiree from your choice of New York or New Jersey and an illegal Guatemalan immigrant free of charge if you order a dozen or more. You just pay seperate shipping and handling. All sales are final.  ;D

I'm just guessing, but they must go for several hundred dollars in the pet shops up here? Anyone seen them for sale?
