So, the KalibrGun Cricket "Rifle" is a thing?

Pezz · Oct 29, 2015

WOW, I had no idea that KalibrGun made a Cricket rifle but this regulated .25 caliber 43 ft/lb monster is a bloody tack driver at 50 yards and is a mechanical beauty. Very smooth and with Ernest Rowe's tuning and awesome single shot tray this can't be beat for the price I feel. Hard chrony data to follow but Ernest reported a 9fps ES and under 2fps SD across 60 shots, holy cow I am impressed.

More data and pictures to follow when the weather breaks in a few days. I am also trying to get a review video ready ASAP as there are none on YouTube of the rifle that I can find, would be awesome to be first with that. Soooo for now a little gun pic but I will say even though this is my first "high-end" PCP it dose make my beloved AT-44 look kinda bad in comparison. But is triple the price also...

50 yard 6 shot group...nice!

78 yard 7 or 8 shot group, I lost count...oops But this one is a shooter...

I am getting very excited for this year's shooting...

"blackdiesel"I think Jim Fussell on this forum have two Cricket rifles.

Pretty sure Jimmy just has two cricket pups... Maybe he does, I don't know?

Oddly enough, I just stumbled across this rifle today from maybe a Brazilian translated site.. I forget, but I was intrigued for sure! Only a single shot rifle?

blackdiesel · Oct 29, 2015

Nope he has a 25 cal and 177 cal Cricket rifle.

I have both a .25 and a .22 Cricket carbine, love em both! Try the new JSB King Heavy in your rifle. Mine prefers the Mk I over the Mk II. Check out groups 2 and 3 which I shot at a 100 yards with the Mk I's. Two successive 5 shot groups under 3/4 inch!

This rifle and these pellets are an amazing combination!

That is one cool lookin' rifle! I assume you have the option to use a magazine instead of the (well engineered looking) single shot tray? Congrats and best of luck with that beauty!

Well hot dog... So wait, does he have two pups too, or am I crazy(er)?

What at are these running price wise? I would definitely consider one in .25 if it had a indexing magazine option.

scubajeeper · Oct 29, 2015

The breech is the same as the pups, it is a multi shot, 14 in .22 and 12 in .25

Yup, the same 12 shot .25 mags work great. I have three but I will say my early results are trending that single loading dose offer a touch more consistency at range it seems. The weather is starting to break so I hope to get more shooting and a review videos ready in a couple of weeks or so.

Yes I am on a FB group with Jim and he did show me he has two of these babies...very nice!

One a .25?

Pezz · Oct 29, 2015

Hey gang! Here is a video of Ernest demoing the single shot tray on my Cricket rifle. They are slightly different than the trays he makes for the bullpup due to limited loading angles but the idea is the same. (not sure why no audio now, its a backup account he made when he was locked out of his main YouTube for a few days)

nsw812 · Oct 29, 2015

I am a big fan of the Criket here, I have the two rilfes in .22 and .25, plus a bullpup in .25. All of them are super accurate, the .22 rifle is my current favorite shooting very tight groups at 114 yards. I am waiting to get my hands on some of the JSB .25 MK II to stretch out the .25 rifle.

CampFussell · Oct 29, 2015

Hey Dave (Pezz), your Cricket Rifle looks even better on here than it did on Facebook ;-) I know that thing has to be a keeper for sure. Both of mine are.

Hey Ryan ( Swing360) Yeah, I've only got the two Cricket Rifles. One in .25 and one in .177.
I'm shouldering a fellow air gunner's Cricket Bullpup in my Avatar.
Rob in NC let me get a picture of myself holding his Bullpup last year at the NC Airgun Show in Hickory.
I'm not sure if Bullpups are for me just yet? Maybe one day?

Here's a short video I did on the magazine of my Cricket Rifle last year.

Don't know who made this video, but it's my favorite Kalibrgun Cricket music video !!!LOL

Pezz · Oct 29, 2015

That scope and mounts look kind familiar to me, lol.

"boom yowl!"

Pezz · Oct 29, 2015

Oh BTW whats up with my barrel being fully floated and yours has a band in the middle?

-Dave

CampFussell · Oct 29, 2015

Dave, I dunno? Both of my rifles have the barrel band? The .25 is bone stock. The .177 was supposed to have been tuned by Ernest?
I wonder if Ernest did the float job (modified existing barrel band) on your Cricket?
My scope is a 8-32X56. Looks like you have three screws in your mounts and I have 2.
I got the poor boy version on the rifles? ;-) LOL
