Other How would one value this rare PCP?

[AaronKrebs]

I bought this piece of airgun history almost a decade ago. It was the most affordable way to step up from my Diana Stormrider, at a time when money was tight but accuracy was a priority.
This is the Calibr Hooligun, a single shot predecessor to the Kalibrgun Cricket. Almost all Information on this rifle has dissolved into the abyss of internet archives. I have just a few printed documents and schematics that could add historical context.
I guess the question is... Does this thing carry ANY value? It shows signs of its age but functions perfectly.

if you give me a dollar ill take it.

That is cool. Never knew about this one. I have an Ocelot and they get no mention either.

We'll start the bidding at -$1.00! Do I have -$.50??

i like the way that looks...reminds me of how we imagined future space rifles would look like back in the 60s.
how about thirty dollars.

I don’t think there is any collector value in that rifle. Nor any early “modern” PCPs. No offense but early Gen pcps don’t gain much value unless they’re around the Girandoni’s age. Take for example the Daystate Huntsman MK1. A fine rifle that’s also single shot. Can be had for $400-$600. FWIW, used Kalibrgun Cricket Gen 1’s go for $600-$750.

No idea but I agree probably no collector value. Who knows someone put a similar looking Uragan up for 1250. Seems massive wishful thinking to me but just depends on how bad someone wants something that doesn’t show up often

It's just like an Edgun R3, single load, simple, probably accurate as hell & built like a tank. I doubt any "collector" value, just normal used PCP value ($700ish) but don't take my word for it. Derrick Wall (zx10wall) might know more.

It may be closer to an original Edgun Mk1 Mod1. Straight back cocking, single shot, Bullpups. Cutting edge about 15yrs ago!

How accurate is it great piece

Exactly! Multi-shot pcp's were revolutionary, and priced accordingly.

It is very accurate. I would guess that it utilizes a .22 CZ barrel, though it is Russian built, not Czech. I could get 3/8" at 40 yards with Hades. I haven't fired it in years.

Does this thing carry ANY value?

Certainly. However, "rare" does not equal valuable.

As if finding qualified buyers willing to pay top prices for anything anymore isn't difficult enough in 2025, your rifle will find virtually no motivated audience.

I helped the editor of the Thirteenth Blue Book Of Airguns establish many of the values in it, after warning her that task was virtually impossible. She persevered anyway, and any value being discussed in that professionally-assembled value guide draws criticisms from amateur 'experts'.

In my opinion your rifle is realistically worth between $250 and $400. However finding a buyer is another thing.

Functional and quality being far greater that any Turk or China Bullpup .... $500 or so would be a steal for anyone who knows Jack
