Benjamin Akela .22

The Cayden has an additional 50cc of air and a barrel that's 4" or more longer. It should easily hit 30-32fpe for 60+ shots and the Kratos even more shots.

Keep in mind that the shroud being longer doesnt necessary mean the barrel is longer

That was when I thought the cayden had a larger tube. The barrel doesn't extend past the tube on the Akela but it does on the cayden. Both use the same tube and breech so the barrel is still several inches longer on the cayden like I had said. The cayden isn't shrouded anyway. 
 
Food for thought guys the( Empire) like the puncher breaker NO ONE will release the size of o-rings for the gun .They all want you to buy (their) o-ring kits . This has been top secret .I've been thru HELL trying to find the right size's ,every one states different size's- good luck with that one. On the other hand I called crosman yesterday & as of now their schematics are not avail. yet but in the future .They will have O-RING SIZES listed & have some in stock now FYI . Darell

Here is what I have measured and used. These are all 70 duro sizes for the Kral PB

Main tube

3.5mmx26mm (2)

Outer valve and the front gauge

2mmx16mm (3)

Outer barrel

1.5mmx9mm (2)

Power Adjuster 

1.5mmx3mm (2)

Fill Probe

1.8mmx5.6mm (2)

I'll have to get the breech sizes. I've never had to buy any. Only had to replace a few and just used factory spares I had lying around.

I have a question about the Akela. What is that thing on the upper rear area of the action? My Kratos doesn't have that, and just wondering what it is because I thought the Caden, Akela and the Kratos were built off of the same platform.

Cheek rest. Wouldn't be on a rifle because that's where the scope mounts.

now it all makes sense. 
 
No one carries the Empire..... and Kral wont sell direct to me (I aksed :( ).. Biggest draw for me was the center mounted cocking mech.....



Be interested in what you think of the Akela.

Empire is just coming out of production. No one has them yet. We should see them in less than 6 months is my guess. I have a sample gun coming from Kral.


The Kral Empire is in stock right now for $571.96 at Krale Netherlands, both in .22 and in .25.

 
Hi Gang ..saw some reviews & accuracy test on the Akela..Not bad...Gota have 30 in my state..Wonder if any smiths cud barrel it to .30 without getn to the Wildcat price point....Thoughts???

The breech won't handle it in my opinion. Not enough width in the magazine well for easy loading of a 30cal. I've done it many times in the kral guns but the breech is beefier and mag well is wider. plus Kral has 30cal magazines available since introducing the Bighorn.
