Cricket holds its own. N50

[Drumsnguns]

I’ve just entered the realm of benchrest. 
Was having bad luck with my other guns when I decided to pull out my old 2013 Kalibrgun Cricket.
This gun can sit in the case for six months or more and have the same pressure reading as to when I stored it. 

First shot is always spot on. My other guns have aftermarket part$ on them to no real advantage. The Cricket took them all to school. And sadly the Cricket hasn’t gotten much attention since 2016. 
Anyway I shot it off a bag at an N50 without the shroud and I was more than pleased with the results. 


Note: The hole at upper left target box in margin was the first sighter shot after taking the shroud off. I thought that the shot would go high; it did the opposite I added elevation to the scope and zero’d on the upper sighter targets. Winds were calm 

At a glance looks like a 242

I think it’s safe to say that the Cricket is going to be seeing more and more the light of day!

And thanks for the compliment.

Kelly....the N50 pellet cards are scored with a .350” plug so that larger calibers can also compete fairly with small calibers. I only see 2 bulls that might not be 10s. You could make up a plug like I suggested to LLeon to verify. I suspect you scored a 248-250 and probably 11x. That’s a very competitive card in the pellet class and indicates that the gun will do what it should.

Shame on you for taking the shroud off. Don’t you know that being quiet is much more important than accuracy? Lol. 

You should post up your shrouded attempts so that it might open some eyes as to why BR shooters don’t put shrouds or moderators on their guns.

As requested. Shrouded target.
In all fairness I had cleaned the barrel which hadn’t been clean in months. I seasoned the barrel but I think the first two squares was the barrel finally settling down

Yeah a significant difference from the i shrouded target.

That first card is great
