Cricket or Edgun POLL
Which do you prefer and why?
I don’t have neither but looking seriously into the Cricket. To me it has all the advantages over Edgun: price, shot count, superior regulator, magazine (that works) and looks. I’m going to wait a few months to see if they come up with a .25 compact. Otherwise I think I will get the .22 tactical standard. I just love the size of the .22 standard. Would prefer the .25 but it’s a little too long for me…

My Cricket is very accurate only up to 200 shots, then the barrel requires cleaning….Edgun I only cleaned it once after about 2000 pellets.
Edguns are special !!!!
Mater the newer Crickets in .22 are and have been arriving hotter at 890-905+ with the 18.1s, I guess because of the demand and the stronger hammer spring and higher reg setting out of the box now.
.177 – .22 Standard 26.75″- 679.45mm 280cc

Length of the barrel?
I promise you will be reading through the table

Until you take my right
They sure are! Untill you need parts for them. After waiting those for a month or two they feel more special than ever.

Also, we must remember a Cricket will shoot a 18 gr @ 850fps and a Edgun @ 900-920 out the box , something to keep in mind when considering efficiency.

Damn based on the compact size I think I talked myself into a 3rd cricket, a compact .177 sounds nice.

That would be a sight – Me having the closing arquement, with a Finnish accent, holding a Bullpup on my lap and loudly preaching the Gospel of Guns but swearing over the ugliness of the Bobcat and the treacherous ways of Women in general.. I´m sure they would reward that appearance with a vacation at Guantanamo Bay , paid by the US Government.
Never thought it that way… Maybe you should represent yourself. I´d get all that mixed up at one point or another.
I have two Crickets a .22 Std. WST and a .25 WSTL, I passed last Dec. on a R3 .22 Std. after waiting over a year and while watching others receive theirs who had placed orders after mine. I have shot an Ed R2.5 .22 Std. and it was very nice. I am partial to the Cricket for the following reasons and I’m not saying the Ed is lacking in any of these areas it’s just different. First accuracy, trigger, weight, reg consistency, shroud removal ease and upgradeability, and the ease of disassembly for either repair or adjustments. They are both great pieces of hardware and one cant go wrong with either. :1:
😆 😆 Those were meant to be my parting words, my Sorté !
Lol….at least 15 times, I think. 😆 😆 😆
I can’t vote yet….just got the Edgun and Cricket is on the way.

I have been using my Std Cricket 0.22 for more than 7 months. I have tried various setting combinations of HST , firing valve spring tension and regulator setting.it proved to be very versatile gun suiting hunters ,plinkers and target shooters. You can pump it up to 200 bars only and get as many as 70 or more consistent shots of 880 fps 18 grn JSB for long range target shooting with Extreme Spread not exceeding 10FPS and SD of 1 to 2 FPS. Or you can pressurize it up to 300 bars and squeeze out more shots as powerful as 990 fps of the same pellet for long range small game hunting. Getting sub half inch 5 shot groups at 50 yards is a tedious routine.
Since I don’t own an edgun matador I can not tell wich one is better. Nevertheless, from my reading in this great forum I can tell it is a remarkable gun engineered by a talented engineer who really cares about his customers and listen to their complaints ,comments and criticism and tries his best to resolve problems and improve his guns. I do intend to get a MS R3 matador at a later stage after taking care of the malfunction complaints I am reading here about the mag. Indexing and bolt problems.
Frankly the Cricket dealer that I purchased my gun here in Kuwait has all the spares and consumables so there are no complaints in this regard. I have to admit that I wish that the Cricket manufacturer follow Ed’s steps and read this forum and listen to his guns users.
