After answered to a previous post " gun in your safe that you don't like " in which I said that I didn't like my Cricket .25 because it was not very accurate , I must apologise to it
.
This gun was reputated to be VERY accurate , from all the comments or videos I saw . Why not mine? Maybe the shooter , but I get very good results with my others Kalibergun , so there was a problem elsewhere .
I usually shot the JSB 34gr King Heavy at about 800FT/s ; I switched to the 25gr at 890 Ft/s.
I changed the Hawke Sidewinder for an Aztec 5.5 X 25 , checked the crosshairs with a plumb line as described by EMU in another post.
Cleaned the barrel
Put a UTG Tac bipod.
Resized and lubed the pellets
Put a DonnyFl shogun to replace the Hugget and checked the concentricity with the bore , shooting through a piece of tape glued to the end of the moderator ( not a very accurate method but .....)
I don't know which of this changes make a difference , but accuracy is back . Cricket .25.
And here is the result; no wind this day. This is my best group , but I shot several others close to this one.
