Paper punching at 25 yards

[Roodles]

I previously owned a CP88, kind of regret selling it now... Although I have been out of airgun shooting for 10+ years, been shooting FAC stuff.

Anywhoo I am now looking for a decent pistol capable of accurate shooting in my to-be-built backgarden range, at say 25 yards.

What are your recommendations?

My criteria in order of importance:

Accuracy
Durability (e.g. against wind / rain... I guess this will be a matter of FPS and calibre?)
Consistency (If I see verticle stringing, I want to know it's my fault, leaving no room to doubt my tool / co2 charge )
Ease of use (I'm guessing if I have to pump the gun 10 times between each shot, my arm is going to quickly get tired which will affect my accuracy)

Ideas please

Cheers,
Roodles

Co2, springer or pca/pcp?

Well having previously used co2, that might be ok, I just can't remember how much the velocties will vary between shots. This will be relatively slow, aimed shots, not rapid plinking.

So having had a poke around the internet, I was thinking either crosman 2240 or HW45 might fit the ticket?

The Chinese made CP1 isn't bad at all. Nice long barrel and accurate with good consistency. The SMK "Victory" ones are better made than some others. I have one in .177 and one in .25, but they do a .22 as well. An aftermarket spring guide and hat and a minor trigger mod really improve the basic design.

Don't suppose you know where to get the upgraded guide and hat?
