    bullpups are not really target guns. but they are fun

    i would get a cricket, if you have the funds a vulcan. thats an evolved cricket.

    Wildcat- no contest

    The sidelever is very ergonomically placed, whereas the Cricket's is under your ear! Just so much nicer to use- that's why I bought one!

    for build quality and accuracy, and easier cocking go for the Vulcan or cricket second best, or try an edgun matador, fx build quality does not come close!

    One thing to remember with both FT and HFT, after you have shot a lane you must remove the magazine before moving to the next one, so that you are carrying an unloaded gun.

    Have you considered a semi bullpup like the Brocock Bantam? I looked at them at the show a few weeks ago and they really impressed me.

    Do ya self a favour and do some research befor deciding where to buy from the uk stockists asnt got best reputation where crickets are concerned

    If your wanting a high grade walnut stock your better off contacting kalibrgun and buying direct they will also set it up right for 12ftlb with out drilling extra port holes in the barrel ect to bring the power down

    Cricket all day long, I have two wildcats and a cricket, both wildcats are up for sale since buying the cricket.

    There are two things I don't like about the cricket, the magazine loading system, it's terrible, and the cocking lever needed to be further forward, the wildcat comes out trumps on both these issues, but, not as accurate,, not as well built, not as reliable, my brand new one had to go back to the importers as it was terrible.
    When you pick both guns up, you really can feel the difference, the wildcats feel like a plastic toy next to the cricket.

    In limited supply if you are willing to import. Personally I would wait and get one.
