Johnkn; I have to agree with the .22 Cricket owners. It has the power to do what you want out and past 100 yards, ammo is cheap FPS can be anywhere between 880 - 910 right out of the box (after the regulator settles down should be a pretty consistent 875 - 880 with out a tune). Accurate as hell if you do your part, and you will have a lot of fun learning what works the best for you. Relatively quiet depending on what you're definition of what quiet is to you: shooting on a farm or house spread apart no problem, shooing in your backyard with housing just about touching, ok as long as your neighbors are cool. The cricket is heavy about 8-9 pounds with a scope and 4 mags in the holders and maybe a bipod, but you get use to it.
Why not a Wildcat, still kinda new some issues with the linkage between the action and the trigger, some people complaining about leaks, and AT not sitting flush with the stock. It is most likely a great gun but may require a little loving / work to make it so. I would consider it in .25 as a second gun later once all the dust has settled.
Why not a impact, still too some leaks, some action issues, one index lever issues, and they are really hard tom come by right now.
I love the thought of a bobcat MkII but that is even heavier and longer than a Cricket but from what i hear accuracy as hell and adjustable power settings is awesome, but its a bit pricey.
The vulcan gets a lot of praise and very few issues and too is accurate, light weight, a little loud, and a little pricey, so pound for pound my money if i were shopping for a .22 would be the Kalibru Cricket synethic stock hands down. It was my first regulated airgun.
Good luck and happy shooting.
