I'm thinking to buy a new one but which one do you think is better?? Shot count and accuracy?? Any help will be appreciated..
"T3PRanch"I have both.
Cricket is 50 ft/lb and Wildcat is 40 (with JSB 34 grain).
Shot counts are similar at about 40 shots per fill.
Cricket is Heavy and Wildcat is light.
Both are tack drivers and fairly quiet.
Both are regulated.
Cricket is a higher pressure fill. (I fill mine to 250 bar but it is rated to 300)
Wildcat is a 230 bar fill.
Cricket cocking is at the right rear so hand has to leave the trigger area to cycle the action.
Wildcat cocking lever is well placed in center over trigger and requires minimal hand displacement to operate the action.
I would state some hunting information but the truth is I destroyed every grackle with my Cricket this spring and have had none to use the Wildcat on since I got it.
I have taken a Coyote at 50 yards with a lung / heart shot with the Cricket.
Bottom line I would buy BOTH to avoid any buyers remorse after purchasing just one or the other.

Just want to add: On the Wildcat with some pellets in your pocket or pouch one never has to pull the mag if you don't want or find that fiddly. After the third shot you can just plunk new pellets into the empty slots of the mag which conveniently protrudes from the right side of the gun. Yes carrying extra mags is good but I've already lost one mag with that flimsy mag holder that is so popular. Maybe the other one that attaches above the trigger is better. Don't know."zebra"

Good idea. That is so much easier than choosing!
Where can I get these?"RNMike"Yeah, I have the mag holders that mount on the rail & I love them.
