Finally got my new kalibergun cricket out to play. Bought it from Georgia airguns couple weeks ago. 25 caliber. It Likes the JSB Hades 26.54 grains which I shot at 50 yards (target pic attached)
Chronograph results for 12 shots as follows
Avg velocity 977 fps
ES 10
SD 3

Also liked the JTS 33.80 grains. I also shot these at 50 yards. Target pic attached. Chronograph results for 12 shots as follows
Avg velocity 894 fps
ES 4
SD 1

Getting about 40 shots with 260 bar fill. Pretty happy with it.

I too just got my hands on a Cricket Carbine in .22, and can't imagine how I missed out on these rifles for so long. I'd heard of them, seen pics of them, but really didn't know much about them, and found a good deal on one while looking for a Taipan. I'm sure glad I decided to bite on it instead. Mine will do just over an 1" at 100 yards with FX 18.1gr domed even in a very light wind. It's pretty amazing how it works for sure. About the only complaint is the safety sucks, so I removed it completely, but hey!, I also removed the safety on both of my Crosman Challengers, and I never use them on any other airgun I own, so I guess it's not an issue for me.
These are truly amazing rifles with almost no flaws at all.

Yeah. I'm constantly bumping that safety. I have a taipan long in 25 also. But I really love my taipan. But this cricket is good also.

I’ve been trying to buy one off a squirrel hunting buddy for about 3 years now since he gave hunting up but I haven‘t got it yet. His is a 22 and it will hang with my Taipan 22 long accuracy wise. His safety is also jacked up but hasn’t had the magazine advance issue yet. Nice rifles!

Yes I like mine. Hopefully you have luck with your buddy and he sells it to you

Shoot it without the moderator. It screws off

actionpistol I have to take back my statement of the moderator being so big, I just measured mine and it is 8" long, whisper quite btw. The 25cal must be attached different than the 22 cal. as mine is a slip fit with a grub screw. I'll never get rid of it because of the accuracy. Did Charlie send you a sheet with different pellet accuracy tests ? he did with mine.

My moderator screws off. Not sure of the thread pitch. And yes he did send 2 sheets with targets shot at 40 yards. He also polished barrel, crowned it and aligned and smoothed the ports on it. Great guy to deal with
