Kalibrgun Love my Cricket .22

[DBlue]

I really love shooting my Cricket .22....for the past couple months I've really been into deer hunting and shooting my powder burners. I got a new 220 20 ga. slug gun and bought a mold and casted my own slugs and worked up an awesome load for them and got a new Ruger PCC 9mm, I worked up another awesome load for it with the 124 XTP bullets...my poor Cricket has just been sitting in my shop in the case. Today the weather was nice and I pulled the Cricket out and shot it some on my backyard range at 50 yards. The first target, I shot two clips at the same bull with the Nielson 17.5 slugs and it made me smile...... The bull is 2 in dia...........

It is a rock solid brand. I've rarely heard anything bad about them.

It’s a Cricket 2 long, it has a longer carbine barrel on it. I bought it from a member here on the classifieds….

I have a cricket carbine 22 cal. long, 22 cal. tact II 60 and a tact II 45 in 177 cal. Couldn't find the other tact in 22 in my file but will post later, what dia. nsa you using as I have never tried slugs in any of them.

Here’s the ones that shoot the best in mine….I tried the .216’s, .2165’s .217’s and the .2165’s definitely shot the best…..
