Think of what that gun could to with a video in English (by me). Kalibrgun should leverage the power of Airgun Channel to gain 100K+ views on a single video. ...but the window closes fast. Soon that gun will be old news = under 10k views no matter what you do.

Looks like is was designed for the US market. Looks awesome. It delivers a new level of accuracy? ...not sure how Kaibrguns could get anymore accurate.
 

Review of the Kalibrgun Snipe II Air Rifle - user review​

The Kalibrgun Snipe II continues the legacy of the popular Snipe air rifle, with its second generation introducing several notable improvements and addressing shortcomings reported by users of the original model. The most significant upgrade is the new cocking mechanism, which eliminates the issue of an improperly secured bolt—a problem that could cause O-rings to pop out in the first version.

Design and Custom Modifications​

In my particular setup, I personalized the Snipe II according to my own preferences:

  • Red Accessories: These are original KalibrGun parts, including a new rail under the air cylinder, providing a distinctive and sporty look.
  • Carbon Fiber Shroud Replacement: Instead of the standard shroud, I chose a carbon fiber tube, making the rifle noticeably louder but giving it a unique aesthetic flair.
  • Skeletonized Folding Stock: Outfitted with red laminated wood, this design keeps the rifle lightweight and easy to transport while offering a modern, eye-catching appearance.
Although the standard Snipe II often features a 700 mm (27.6 inches) barrel, the exact configuration can vary by region and specific model.


Performance Enhancements​

Internally, I made several upgrades:

  1. New Stem Valve
  2. Adjusted Regulator
  3. Barrel Replacement
These modifications significantly boosted the rifle’s overall performance. I also added a specialized weight on the lower rail to shift the center of gravity forward, which greatly stabilizes the rifle during high-power shots.

Weight from Air-G-Tac.com and Arca Rail Compatibility​

A key reason I chose the Air-G-Tac weight system is the unique placement of its mounting screws along the lower edge. This design preserves full use of the Arca rail even after the weight is installed. I initially bought two versions—one for top mounting and one for bottom mounting—and found the bottom-mounted option more practical in real-world use.

As a result of all these custom tweaks, I achieved power levels up to 110 J @ 150 bar (81 ft-lbs) using JSB KO slugs weighing 1.625 g (25.1 grains). This setup propels pellets to supersonic speeds, offering impressive potential for long-range shooting.

Shooting Impressions​

Operating at such high power naturally increases noise, so a good scope and solid shooting accessories are essential. I use a Falcon Optics X50 10–50×60, which has served me reliably for about five years. The forward-shifted balance—thanks to the added weight—and fine-tuned regulator settings allow for outstanding accuracy, even at elevated power levels.

Meanwhile, the new cocking mechanism functions flawlessly, eliminating the risk of an improperly locked bolt. The folding stock enhances the rifle’s portability and storage convenience.

Conclusion​

Overall, the Kalibrgun Snipe II is a well-executed evolution of the original Snipe. By fixing the bolt-closing issue, offering multiple customization options, and maintaining excellent accuracy, it stands out as an ideal choice for shooters seeking high performance and reliability.

My personal modifications—ranging from the stem valve and regulator adjustments to the Air-G-Tac.com weight system—have elevated the rifle into a true powerhouse capable of supersonic velocities. If you are looking for an air rifle with strong tuning potential, modern design features (such as the folding skeleton stock), and the capacity to push into higher power levels, the Snipe II is definitely worth considering.

Hello, until your first best model the cricket who comes in France, your brand still in the shadow. In Europe, France or Belgium, no one really knows the capacity thé accurate of your pcp. It's a shame because your next cricket and now your Snipe séries that I saw at the IWA 2024 seems to bé so nice and good. I don't know if you have a retailers in France, but a lot of french people buy PCP via eShop like Balistas, Krale or Mundillar, but if they don't have french youtubeur vidéos or some french advices they buy Always the same brand as FX, or Hatsan...
If you search someone to tests and make vidéos on social french network (Facebook group and youtube) I'm here. I do some by myself on FX, Huben, RTI or Epic, if you want to see them...
If you want I could test some of your models and make vidéos. Send me some of your PCP like new cricket or Snipe 700 in .22 and after m'y test I send it you back.
You could contact me by whatsapp if you want.
I go to the IWA each year, if you want to meet me.
Have a nice day.
