Never really believing that I have much of a use for a true bullpup, nor believing they could ever shoot as accurate as a full length rifle, because I didn't have one in my collection, I purchased this Charlie Frear tuned .25 Cricket from another AGN member a few months back. I tested it with four different .25 pellets upon acquisition, but the 33.95 gr easily outperformed the others.
I hate the way it cocks at the back as it seems totally awkward to me. It is much louder than my more conventional rifles with threaded moderators. It is as ugly as ugly can be, but as far as power and accuracy, WOW. I guess beauty is somewhat in the eyes of the beholder. It is built like a tank and is very efficient from an accuracy & power plant perspective.
It didn't take much maintenance effort to check this rifle out as it has only been a couple of months since I went through the check-out and set-up phase at the time of acquisition from this site's on-line classified forum. The test results can be seen below for those interested.
