Cricket Rifle .22 owners

[MartyB]

WWAG has the Cricket rifle on sale $1295 new. Precision Airguns has both the .25 or .22 for $1495. These would be who I would buy from if I was buying. Both excellent customer service and stand behind what they sell.

How do you plan on filling? If you have easy access to air this statement will not really matter. None of the other guns mentioned in this thread are even close to the air efficiency of a regulated Cricket.

I currently have 2 68ci 3000psi bottles.  One regulated to 1400 for my FDPCPs and the other to 2200psi for the BAM.
And I've also got the FD HPA pump.  The cricket's efficiency is one of the reasons it's on my list.  50-70 regulated shots out of a fill is enough for a trip to the range.  Fill it, go out, fill it up when I get back.

More efficient than the Daystate that's for sure. Don't need a 500cc tank to get 70 shots from and it's proven by the Cricket.

If you are looking at accuracy, look at bench rest result in the past year both in the US and Europe. This would be for 50 yards and up. This will give you a good idea.

Someone mentioned the AA 510. This are great guns for the price. I shot a friend's first time shooting it I was able to do 1 MOA in elevation and 1.5 MOA in windage. This was in wind bad conditions. I was very impressed. I have an as MPR .177. And it will stack at 50 yards with ease. Of cource if there is no wind.

My recommendation stands at you would try to hold and shoot some of this guns and find the best fit for you. A good example is that I have a long forearm and most butts are short for me.

If you are interested in offhand shooting,  you may want to consider a bullpup.  They appear awkward, but are incredibly well balanced. I have a synthetic cricket bullpup I  .25 cal. It's not only super accurate,  but easy to wield. The bullpup setup puts all the weight of the rifle in a much more manageable position. You can literally shoot one handed with ease.  The .22 in a pound and a half lighter if I am not mistaken also.
 Also, I bought mine from jim and Nancy at precision air. I am a michigander so I just drove to their store and picked it up. Great folks, I would certainly recommend buying from them.
  If you are in Michigan,  you are welcome to punch some holes with my gun, and see what you think!

Looking at the hummingbird or the other bullpup now in .25, maybe .22, we shall see.  But love the cricket I have now.

Anyone in Indiana own the Cricket Carbine ?  I would like to see/hold one since it is on my short list.
