the Airgungearshow on youtube with giles, his latest review is of the Kalibrgun Cricket, the performance of this rifle is nothing short of breathtaking, if you`ve not seen it, I`d suggest you take a look, now I admit to having a soft spot for Bullpup designed rifles, just the cost putting me off, that may change!

Well I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't like Bullpups and I don't like Giles, but I'm not biased
The rifles are brought in at FAC levels but are reduced in power by the Gunsmith.
So they've proved themselves "Capable".
The rifle tested was running at 10.5FPE, too low.
Had to be pushed forwards to cock and reload.
Looked to be very uncomfortable to shoot seated but no indication what they are like to shoot prone, kneeling and standing. Scope eye relief looked like your head was hanging off the back of the stock.
Targets should have been placed out at random distances (unknown to the shooter) as a better measure of capability.
The only advantage appears to be they are not fitted with AT so that's a bonus. No mention of price so I don't know if I could afford one even if I wanted one.
Sorry Wastrel
ATB
Ray.

My pals got one , and has restocked it in some really lovely laminate ..... However he has had a few problems with it .... It's a known problem ( unknown to me ) with an awkward known fix .. Yet to be carried out .. So it's currently sitting in the " naughty cupboard " ..... I think it's something to do with the fact it starts its life a lot higher in output ...
Before he came across problems I did have a go , and yes it was very accurate for something that looks more fun than business

each to his own Ray, I respect your opinions, but, for a grand, I`m having one- & I`ve never said that about any airgun anywhere near that price before!

I quite like the look. Would be a good ratting gun. But for a Grand????
I'll stick with the MFR..

Shoulders really well.
Looks like his broom was more comfortable to me.
I like the look of bull pups but there seems to be not enough eye relief.

It looks like the person holding it should be wearing full body armour and periodically shouting "clear!" as they go.There again perhaps that's the appeal of the design?.
