Allen Z. tuned the 25 cal to get 73 shots on the regulator @ 42 FPE. Both guns are shooting lights out.

I have been searching for a natural wood grain stock for it. I even considered sanding the camo dip off, but everyone seem to like it. So instead of replacing it I think i will try to find an additional stock in wood and keep both.

So it is dipped? How does that feel? I'm thinking about dipping a stock but not sure how the texure will feel afterwards

Very nice carbines BD. For the money Cricket rifles are hard to beat. How do you like the triggers? AZ tuned my 22 carbine and did incredible job on the trigger and overall tune. Enjoy shooting those bad boys..

Jimmy I know you are reducing to smaller calibers, but I couldn't see letting go of the 25 cal. I love 22 cal for the pellet prices but I love long range plinking. Just hitting targets at 150+ yards is what I like. I can do it with the 22 cal but it seems easier with the 25 cal.

Wow, 150 is a long ways out. I used to do some hundred yard shooting when I first got mine. I could put about 10 out of 12 pellets inside 2" which was amazing for me at the time since I was just a newbie. 50 yds is about my max now days. Too many mosquitoes and mud holes once I get into the woods beyond my backyard ;-) Maybe I'll get out there and clear that lane again one of these cool winter days?
I think that's cool that your's is tuned for shot count. Anything over 40 FPE is overkill around here!!!!LOL My .22 Colibri is shooting 32 FPE and I've got a .22 Cricket pup coming from Charlie that's gonna be pushing 36 FPE. He say's it's a laser and pushing the 18.1's at 950 FPS? You would think they would spiral at that speed? We'll see?
My .177 Cricket Carbine was pushing the 8.4 gr JSB's over 950 FPS and they spiraled at the 50 yd line? I tuned it down to 890 FPS with the 10.3's
Never thought I would see myself with a pup, but the bug has bitten me? Crap, if I don't sell the Carbines I'll have 5 Kalibrguns sittin' around??? That would make a pretty picture!
Check out my .177 Cricket Carbine hanging with the Thomas!!!!! I have both set up for field target and 28 yds is my zero for FT

That's outstanding. funny thing a while back I was shooting with a buddy who has an AT44 long. He was shooting the crosman ultra magnums domes at 960 fps and all his 50 yard groups were under 1/2". On a whim I shot some at 50 yards in my Cricket and they were shooting the same 960 fps and they shot as well as the JSB 18 gr pellets. Even when we stretched it out to 130 yards shooting cans they were still shooting straight with no spiralling. The only draw back is that at this speed they foul the barrel faster and I hate cleaning often.

That doesn't surprise me. I find it easier to shoot my Cricket 25 with the power cranked up a little too.
I was shooting H&N hunter Extremes at 42fpe for a while and I wasn't happy with the trajectory. A quarter turn of the HST adjuster and it was at 49fpe and the difference was night and day. It's amazing how much difference an extra 50 fps makes. The extreme spread dropped too, which surprised me. I guess I was below it's sweet spot before.
The Cricket 25's power adjuster really has amazing range compared to my other guns.

I too like that came job on the wildcat. Is it dipped? Will the stock material on the Wildcat take a dip?

Not sure if we are looking at the same thing but Blackdiesel posted a dipped Cricket Carbine.
