Here in the UK 2240's are marketed and sold as "Rat Buster's"  a back up for the 2250 Rat Catcher.  One company does a fitted cased set of a 2240,  red dot on intermounts,  and UK spec "muzzle brake" for pest control useage.

Just start blasting away at targets,  learn the feel of it,  work on grouping then center the groups on the target,  then move to small targets,  say match boxes and wine bottle corks,  moving down to beer bottle tops,  get real good with shot placement,  and reloading in case you need a fast follow up shot.

I was going to just take  a photo of the magazine advert,  but the picture has the "S" word muzzle brake.

So unsure of falling foul of forum rules,  here's the link to the shop in the UK. 
Mods if this is wrong please correct me.

Don't sweat it Dagonet.  I was on another (UK, I think) board reading and they kept talking about their "Wells Fargo" rifle.  http://www.johnforsey.co.uk/agwco2_walther_wells_fargo.html .  Heck, I didn't know it had a "name", other than as the Walther Lever Action. http://www.umarexusa.com/Walther-Lever-Action-Black.html#.UwJXg_ldWb4  LOL

It ain't like it used to be but, eh, it's do.

The Wells Fargo is another version that has a Wells Fargo inspired scene on the brass coloured receiver.  It looks a bit Mickey Mouse IMO

On a random note.
Was looking into target clubs for when i move later this year,  the term "gallery gun" cropped up a lot,  turns out the range clubs are better where i am going and a "gallery gun" is the clubs winchester lever action .357 rifles for running boar target  :D 
Quite like the stainless look Walther lever action,  but it's not a 2240  ;)

Well if for some strange reason the bat flys out of your hands and pegs the bat girl (wife), when she comes to, your probably going to wish you had used the 2240 in the first place.

Then again, if you forget to use the safety and accidentally shoot the bat girl in the foot, she'll be using the bat on you.

Translation: practice, practice, and more practice. And use that safety.  ;D

After all the cigars, wine, and beer, how would I hit the rat?

Just slap your own face when you feel (through the passed out drunken stupor) him starting to eat your nose.  :-*
