CO₂ System and Recoilless Shooting

The Crosman 2250 XL uses a standard 12 gram CO₂ cartridge, which provides the advantage of recoilless shooting. The absence of kickback makes the rifle very easy to shoot accurately, especially for beginners and younger shooters.

t maintains enough power for quick, humane dispatch of rats and other small vermin at short to medium ranges (up to 35 meters)

The CO₂ capsules are inexpensive and easily carried, allowing the shooter to reload power quickly in the field.

XL Upgrades and Enhanced Accuracy

The “XL” designation brings critical performance enhancements. Most notably, the rifle features an extended 18” rifled steel barrel to improve velocity and accuracy compared to the shorter pistol-based models.

Furthermore, the metal breech block replaces the original plastic version, providing a much more stable and durable platform for mounting optics onto the 11mm scope rail, ensuring the scope maintains its zero reliably. The smooth single-shot bolt action is simple, reliable, and contributes to the rifle’s overall efficiency.

Lightweight and Adaptable Design

Constructed with a durable ABS synthetic stock and fore-end, the Ratcatcher 2250 XL is exceptionally lightweight and compact, making it highly maneuverable in tight spaces like barns, hides, and roof voids—its natural habitat.

Although it is a single-shot rifle, the quick bolt-action mechanism and recoilless firing mean rapid follow-up shots are easy to achieve.

The threaded muzzle is a major feature, allowing the user to easily fit an aftermarket silencer (moderator) to achieve whisper-quiet shooting, which is often necessary when hunting in close proximity to homes or livestock.
