    Another thing worth mentioning with ordering from Alex is he does not take any money off you until the gun is in his hands and ready to post. No laying money out with never materialising delivery dates. There are also no RFD fees and the gun can be delivered to your door which could potentially save you another £25-50 in rfd fees unless you live close enough to collect from a UK stockist. Currently no stockists in the UK though, just websites with pictures where you can place a deposit.

    Arrival of the guns with Alex have been delayed on recent orders (if he says 4 weeks it might be 6) but thats down to Kalibergun not sending on time so out of his hands. It also doesn`t help when Kalibrgun UK whine like bitches about pricing to Kalibrgun and parts of Alex`s order gets delayed from the factory because of this.

    If you don`t like competition Kalibergun UK don`t start a business

    I also got not e from Alex, it took 4 days to arrive from Cyprus Alex is a very nice guy to deal with, solware had me waiting for weeks and weeks so I got fed up waiting then I brought it from Alex hassle free,

    As for the rifle its a high end pcp's the accurac is amazing build quality is good, the only problem is hammer is very badly designed mine was 12flb version but the power was all over the place, so you will have to get the hammer spring screw changed, the silencer is not very quiet and when you shooting your ear sits top of breach, the cocking action its not as smooth.

    Has anyone been in touch with Alex over the last week? He sent me an email last Monday saying he had a Cricket for me(had one on order since before Christmas) and after I sent him my details to arrange payment he hasn't been in touch nor replied to the last 3 or 4 emails I sent?

    Maybe what kalibergun uk want to trade them at but I very much doubt Alex was selling them at trade prices and making no profit just to be kind to his customers . Different countries , different exchange rates different taxes will make one country more competitive than the other. I found a dealer in Czech Republic that will sell them cheaper than Alex . Dunno if they will ship and Ive had good service from Alex so I`d still rather shop with him than try and save a few more quid.

    It's not semi-auto as promised. The mechanism wasn't reliable so they made it manually operated. Not the most reliable one in that either.

    Calibrgun is actually old news, these Vulcans are starting their deliveries in a week or two:

    Viking Mk2 .177/.22 bullpup, BSA Scorpion SE .177, BSA Scorpion .25 100M gun, BSA Scorpion .224 100fpe 100M gun,
