I think they took a step in the right direction with this gun, but man that seems heavy. I hate to ask but could you actually weight it to check their specs? I’m fairly interested in the gun but at 10+ lbs with a scope it would be a handful to hike with.
Yeah, I though it might me lighter since it was "tactical", but it's a full weight gun. I'm 99% sure thier specs, on the weight at least, would be spot on. I actually already let a friend get that gun. He really liked it.
Even a perfect shooting air rifle has no value to me, really, I'll just get another one next week. I actually don't need but one air rifle, my Steyr LG110 .22. Maybe a .30 to hunt with (got an FX Boss FT).
Most guns don't shoot quite as good as that Cricket 2 Tactical did, but the guns I'm testing these days, like the Katran for example, are all outstanding shooters. It's like PCP tecnology was pefected a while ago, then everybody got ahold of the technology, which at this point in time is simple to these manufactures. Then in todays market, if your gun doesn't do one hole groups at 50 yards, then don't even bother making it.
When I started reviewing guns 3 years ago, there was no Gauntlet, no Fortitude, no Avenger. The only guns that had regulators were over $1K. Now we have the M3 with 2 regs!
...we just don't have any pellets. ....a .30 cal Diabolo bullet mold is on the way to my house!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kalibrgun asked me to send a photo of myself with the gun the day after the video came out. I had to tell them I no longer had the gun they had just gifted me...that was an awkward moment!
Steyr's HP Single Shot rifles: This gun shoots every weight JSB pellet perfectly, out of the box. No tuning required...ever. It sat in the case for 3-5 years with no air, I aired it up, It held air perfeclty, still does. I think the barrel is chrome lined, it did not require cleaning. If any of you didn't see the review, here is a look at what is now the Steyr Challenge Hunting.
