Am I losing it?

One of our VA shooters wants to start airgun pistol shooting.  He saw the 2300T at the Golden Age Games this year.  I suggested he get a 1740 before spending three times as much on the 2300T.

Turns out I can't find the 1740 any more.   Am I blind?

 

Also...I see that the RWS Hobby wadcutters (recommended for this pistol) are packed in 300ct tins instead of 500ct tins.  How long have I been asleep?

well on the Crosman diagram site, it says that the 1740 was made from 1999-2001

just make one out of the custom shop and the pellets change sometime last year

Being relatively new to airguns, I didn't even know Crosman used to make a 1740 and thought all .177 XX40 shooters were modified afterwards. One of my most favorite shooters is a custom Mountain Air 1750 (pretty much the same as a 1740 for the most part). Attached with a 1399 stock and a 21" barrel it sends 7.9 and 8.4 pellets at close to 780 fps with dead-on accuracy up to 30 meters. Without question my #1 CO2 shooter.
