So, what would you say if someone told you Kalibr is coming out with a Cricket .30 ?
Would you be stoked, indifferent or just wouldn’t understand the need for ?

Ok, you got some inside info ?
TELL US THEN PLEASE :fishing:

Talking factory Cricket .30 …I know that there’s conversions out there.
Ernest offers .30 cal power tuned Crickets.
I would say that you inhaled too much glue.
No, but if the .30 Cricket becomes reality I will sell my current quiver and buy me a power tuned .25 and a .30 Crickets
I think it would be great as well as wise for them to release a .30. Did your inside guy clue you into possible pricing? Perhaps even on par with current Cricket .177/.22/.25 pricing?
Let’s just say I heard a little very well connected bird mentioning it being only a few months out :biggrinn: :biggrinn: :biggrinn:
It would be spectacular a cricket carbine .30, but it’s just to know or you have information about it ?
I shoot a .177 Cricket Compact the most and then the Mutant Shorty .22 second and then the Cricket std .22 a little bit and finally the Edgun 30 cal which is reserved for raccoons and other bigger critters like an occasional coyote. Maybe 200-300 shots per year now tops vs 5000 shots for the .177 and another few thousand shots for the .22s. Most of my shooting is backyard pesting by far. IMO a typical backyard shooter which is most of us just doesn’t need a 30 cal much. They are not really backyard friendly because of energy rather than noise for me. I get some terrific sounding ricochets too which help make it an occasional use gun and it is tougher on targets, etc. My backyard is acres and woods with a giant hill/backstop behind me but 75+ ft. lbs. is just getting to be a lot of energy approaching a weak 22 LR. I can’t imagine it in a typical subdivision.

Agree on all counts, …….a .30 cal is not to replace typical .22 and .17 use
The thing about a 30 cal for me is …

Your mileage may vary. 😉
Well, anyway it shot the standard .357 JSB 81gr pellet really, really well.
But this post was about the real possibility that Kalibrgun is coming out with a .30 cal Cricket,…..from factory not cooked up by some tuner.

Yes, I remember I ask you a while back if you shot Michael 9 milly.
The actual bore size measurement is about .354″ and if sized down the accuracy improved.

Actually I shot the Cricket .357 when Went had one and shot the JSB 81gr real well and they chamber just fine, …..just like every other .357 airgun I had or shot.

I had a 30 caliber rifle of another brand, but after i bought it, I determined that I didn’t have any need for it, since I’m not a hunter. I do have a Cricket .25 which shoots 60 fpe and with Ratsniper slugs, I’m sure it can dispatch any critter that needs it.
