yeah, had one a couple of decades ago - it was nice looking, but crap to shoot.
I do however still have my scoprion, whcih was far less pretty, but fare more accurate, powerful, and just better...

Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
A marmite gun. Some seem to have had great experiences. Others (the majority?) indifferent or poor ones.
Anyway, I have a Scorpion, which is awesome, so feel no great need for a 240. Especially as a decent Scorp costs about half to 2/3 what 240s go for.
I think it's one of those guns that attracts collectors more than shooters.
Hello
I just got a mk2 240 Magnum in .177. It was a gun that obviously divides opinion so I thought I'd give it a go.
I have to say, I think it's great . Admittedly I'm a garage plinker, but mine is accurate, appears well made & certainly appears to be powerful. I really like this gun. Even the grip seems to work ok for me & the trigger is excellent. I just find it a lot of fun to shoot.
Just to show how we are all different, I have a Scorpion (in .22) & I far prefer the Magnum

Well we'll just have to see For now I've got a compact, powerful pistol in the 240 that I enjoy shooting. I have a .177 Tempest (really nice gun, it's fun & I like it a lot) but I prefer the Magnum. The Scorpion is ok but I just don't find it fun, it's undeniably powerful & well made, it just doesn't "float my boat".
Cheers
Dave
Im glad you like it and it suits you .....its simply that everyone who ever owned one, which includes about 8 of my regular shooting compardres, had theirs develop annoying inconsistancy issues....in reg of both power and the accuracy...
You find yourself so wanting to like it.....its something different and compact but will eventually just annoy you.
