I'm not much of a video person, but I decided to give this a shot! Hopefully this is not too much like NPR doing an airgun video :p Anyway, check out my impressions of the Cricket II after shooting it for about one month:

BTW, I was worried about not having enough to say and the video ended up being almost 30-minutes long so I guess that was an unfounded worry... ;-)

Good Job Matt .

I like the one point you brought up about filling, i found the exact same thing when i fill my .25 off the 100cu.in. Omega bottle, just open the valve and let it equalize . It took me a few fills to realize it won't overfill .

This is my 1st Cricket , and i was not aware of the " slow fill " , i actually like it and think all guns should have this ..

Great, great video. You didn't mention the weight on the .22 or the .25. I have a the original .22 and used to own a .25, and I noticed the .25 had some weight to it which is good for the bench. My .22 is a little hefty but not like the .25. After watching your video, I'm now wanting the cricket II but I don't need it but would be cool to have one. There are just too many good pcp's right now.

Thanks for the kind words regarding the video! Here are the weights of my guns:

  • .22 Cricket II wood stock (scoped) = 10 lbs
  • .25 Cricket synthetic stock(scoped with bipod) = 11.75 lbs
  • .22 Brocock Sniper HP synthetics stock (scoped) = 10.25 lbs
  • .177 RWS 34 wood stock (scoped) = 9.75 lbs

@wyshadow, what do you figure the gun would weigh without the sumo and bipod? Those must add about one pound, right?

Very nice!

I have not paid much attention to big bore air rifles, but it looks like they offer a 35 caliber not a 30 caliber...

Edit... HAM is showing both 30 and 35...
