    cricket air rifles.....

    Hi lads I've been looking at these for the last couple of days and really want one but they are not ready available in the UK.
    As any got one and what are they like for performance and reliability, handling etc.
    I've a few questions if any one can answer them please.

    1, how much are they?
    2, how many shots do you get off per charge (.22 and 177) in 12ft pound.
    3, how gud is the mod on them or do you need extension?
    4, were to send them if anything goes wrong?

    I think that's it, ha

    There is loads of different stories about the supply of these at the moment, Imports from cyprus vers one that the Ratworks are doing for Solware.
    Like you i am intrested in getting one but going to wait untill there is some clarity.
    One thing they are very popular across the world and can not be made Quick enough to satisfy demand.

    Kalibrgun.. Yes , we are now going to stock them.
    With needed changes to the valving to make them perform better at 12ft/lb
    and a proper UK importer with back up and warranties we feel these guns are now right .
    The rep is coming in shortly with prices and samples and we hope to have stock fairly soon after.

    ps i totally agree with you Dave

    i have ordered one and looked at all the research first i have steered well clear of any supplier using ratworks as they have been doing scaremonger tactics in cahoots with certain proposed suppliers none of which can not seem to supply them only take deposits at this moment in time and after watching that video on the airgun gear show showing the cricket with the person from ratworks on there it does not fill me with confidence he would not be stripping anything of mine he almost looks embarassed when asked about the gun .I will remain in line and wait for mine but one thing is positive ratworks aint touching mine.
