Congrats on the Cricket. I've had my P.T. Cricket for a long time. Purchased it new from Charlie. He also ported and polished mine. It shoots crazy accurate. It's definantly a long distance shooter. We were shooting aluminum plates that had 3/8" holes drilled through them. We could put the 34gr JSB through the hole at 50yds. They are tack drivers. I target shoot using the 25gr & 34gr. JSB but hunt with the H&N Grizzlies. Enjoy it.

Yes, Ft. Lauderdale area, a bit far from Tampa, and on the West coast they are not that far north, I have friends telling me they are starting to show on the west coast but a bit south! You are welcome to come and visit me... anytime!

That's some good shooting, Norm. I love my "Charlie" tuned cricket too. I have stretched mine out to 100 yards with NSA 30 grain slugs shooting 925 fps and consistently shoot inch to inch and a quarter groups. The cricket has some quirks but I live with them because it is accurate. Chet

Awesome, glad you were able to get it sorted. I bought a 25 cal Cricket with the skeleton stock for my father back when they offered it, and he loves it. I had it in my arsenal for a while before he took delivery, and I can say that it is a very accurate rifle. When he came to pick it up, we were shooting a half-empty water bottle on a fence about 30 yards away, and I was aiming at the top portion of the container. I had taken about 5 or 6 shots, and the bottle wasn't even moving. I thought that I was missing, and I became concerned rather quickly, but after walking up to the bottle, we both looked at each other in awe. The group was tight, and it was hit with enough speed that it wasn't even moving the bottle, just passing through and through. Great rifle, he tells me often about picking off grey and red squirrels in his yard at all distances.
