can this be done easily?
i've got a crosman 2250XT airsource rifle and i'm sick of shooting pigeons and then having to give them a second shot to finish them off... really i want to blow their hearts out of their backs if possible...

Something you might like http://www.pyramydair.com/air-guns/ If you look at the top right under the search box you will see air rifles up to .50 caliber which i have seen take down a Bore.
But on Mods and increasing power for yours go here http://crosmanmods.cjb.net/ you might get a pop up advert just hit skip add and go to the mod collection.
Replacing the hammer spring in your 2240/2250/2289 with a stronger one will increase the velocity of your gun by around 25 fps but It will also lower the amount of shots you get per CO2 cartridge. This does not matter if you use bulk fill.
I also remember seeing a site where you could buy modified valves for it

i'm not bulk filling at the moment, doesn't matter anyway... so long as i can get it up to more like 12 ft/lbs rather than its current 9, i should be using half as much co2 anyway

You'd be better off building your own if you want something that exceeds 800 fps
There are tons of sites devoted to airgun building

your 2250 should be able to take out pigeons cleanly with a single, well placed shot but if you need more power then I would suggest these few mods
boss valve longer barrel replace metal t.p with plastic tubing spacers infront of hammer spring
just yahoo or google "2240 mods"

i doubt he's hunting pigeon in the country so using a .22 in a backyard would be less than ideal...
