I have the.30 it’s a tack driver with that polygonal barrel I used to have the impact which has more power with the 700mm barrel but this gun with that barrel shoots slugs perfect and I think more consistent in my testing

Kalibrgun Cricket II Tactical .30 + Share n' Compare + AEAC video + RDW!!!
- Thread starter Airgun Nation
- Start date
Great review on the Aeac vlog and really appreciate all the member comments regarding their experience with kalibrgun cricket 2 tactical . This or the delta wolf may be a good alternative to my Daystate Wolverine .303 and only 10 ft lbs less than the wolverine , should be enough power , get a ton more shots ( regulated ) and be way shorter in length while still being back yard friendly . I think I want one in .30 cal .

I just got the Argus 60 in .30cal, unfortunately things have not been so good out of the box. The gun was only shooting at 690fps with JSB 44.75gr pellets. With the hammer spring at the max, I only got 790fps. So I just disassembled the gun and adjusted the regulator, so hopefully today I can put some rounds through it and hope they perform as expected. I also have the DonnyFL adapter so I can throw on my Ronin if it's still a bit loud.
I also have two Benjamin Bulldogs .357s, but they are 2-4 MOA guns at best, and I am seeking more accuracy.

That rifle looks beefy! Nothing dainty about that. I've never owned a Cricket rifle before but after seeing this one that my change!

Very nice rifle. However, I'm not a fan of this type of magazine. I prefer the preloaded rotary type like on the FX Impact. The problem with this type like the WildCat MKII is that when you remove and reinstall the mag it isn't idiot proof as to lining it up so that your on the next pellet.

I like more the traditlook, but the wood metal synergism on both tacticals looks good. Can't argue with the performance- .30 come my way

I use old and new magazines in my 25. At first I has cycling issues. I diagnosed the problem as some strange leverage / timing
In the picture below if I cycle normally (not too slow, not too fast) holding the red area I don't get any problems with new or old mags.
If I get into the yellow area I will get problems. I think it causes the cycle to slow down when I use that area.
The issue is usually from cycling too slow.
I can also say after shooting several tins through it the problems has greatly reduced. I can't remember the last time I had a cycling issue now.

Might need to adjust the drag on the magazine the way Michael was showing in our video. He was having the same issue until he completed the process.

AoA just yesterday received the picture pack from Kalibrgun of the laminated stock options, of which I've included in the full review. I assume since they're the Kali importer now, that's where you'll find them.

It didn't annoy me, no but I wasn't trying to manage it off the bench either, had I... yes, I probably would have gotten a little frustrated with it, lol. I'll discuss further in the full review

Hello guys as I have mentioned I have the .30 and the compact.22 . I have been testing slugs and I noticed with the.217 size I am getting a lot of lead fouling and I decided to do some investigation and what I discovered is the CZ chocked barrel is actually is .213 so I have bought NSA 215.5 and they Leed into the barrel very nice l will attach photos of a slug before and after

Im new to the pcp world. This stuff is mind blowing. I never thought air rifles could do the things you guys are doing with them. Now I must up grade my Beeman chief to one of these fine shooters

Very new here to air guns, what’s the benefit to having a chocked vs not chocked barrel? Just to shoot slugs? Does it make shooting pellets less accurate?
Upvote 0
To answer your question most air gun barrels are chocked for the simple purpose to help with the accuracy for pellets and there inconsistency of sizes. So for getting a slug to preform really well in a chocked barrel usually it takes a lot of testing to get really awesome results but with that said you can usually get excitable results in most cases I just want a repeatable accuracy so this why I go as far as I do.

Thanks for that! So for someone like me who would shoot more pellets and then the occasional slug would be better off getting a chocked barrel
