Why would you want a Co2 gun to shoot live quarry.  They are not ideal, temperature can change point of impact with the power output varying and not in the same league as a PCP or good springer.

The above posts makes a refreshing change from the lurcher section, which has people wanting to practically kill each other for having a difference of opinion!!

Good luck with your search. Those older CO2 rifles can be harder to find, but they sometimes pop up on used airgun forums and auction sites. Hope you find one in good condition.
