Nice! Great gun, great shooting. My .25 Cricket is BY FAR the deadliest small game pcp I’ve ever owned. Great combination of power, accuracy, agility in the woods. Death ray. It’s funny that such a deadly rifle has such a cute, harmless name. Keep it up, man.

Nice shooting on the nutters.
What's the balance like with the Cricket? It just seems like such an unnatural design, but everyone seems to love them. Does it shoulder comfortably? How do you make a cheek weld? Does the action behind your ear make is so you have to bring the rifle down to cycle the action again? Can you do it with a follow up shot while you still have the target in the scope?
Thanks,

The balance is good, it shoulders great. With the rear cocking leavers you do have to pull of target. But this gun out shoots me I haven't had a follow-up shot yet

That top one is a Fox Squirrel, not a Red. Reds are smaller, about half the size of a Fox Squirrel. A Cricket is still on my "Someday List".

If that is your first time, don’t want to see the damage you can do after a few times out with it! Nice shooting. Gotta love them Crickets.

Not to hijack a topic but since BeachGunner asked, my Cricket .25 out shoots my Impact. Just shot my best group this weekend at 100 yards. Ten shots into a group measuring 1.025" w/ MKII, off a bag.
Mine is with synth stock and feels heavy until you shoulder it and then the weight seems to disappear. Don't know how that happens, but it does. Very comfortable gun.
Anyway, just my $.02.
Great shooting, Acwilson004!

Wow, that is fantastic shooting and performance from your Cricket. Just a tad over MOA, AND with a 10-shot group. Very, very impressive.
Thanks for your feedback.
Regards,
Michael

Edit: I see that someone else just said the same thing, LOL...
"That 'red squirrel' isn't really 'red squirrel'--it's a fox squirrel. They're a bit larger than grey squirrels (we have both here by me). True 'red squirrels' are a little larger than chipmunks and inhabit pine forests (primarily)-we have those up north. Nonetheless: excellent shooting! Nice setup too!"

I have always wanted to get one of the black squirrels, but they seem to only be in the city limits of Bowling Green or on campus. Have never seen one outside of town.
Nice pics
