How light can you make a .22 Cricket?
I know the ‘skeleton wood stock’ will save some weight, any other ways of saving weight?
How about a smaller air tube? (weight savings??)
How about a carbon fiber stock? (weight savings??)
Shorter barrel (at the cost of accuracy?), (weight savings??)
Can anyone give me the weight of:
.22 Cricket with no stock.
Synthetic stock.
Wood stock.
Skeleton wood stock.

Some weights!
Standard 22 Cricket metal gun only 4# 15 ounces
Standard wooden stock with cheek piece 2# This is the stock with magazine holder but no magazines!
Same Stock with 4 full magazines loaded with 18 Gr JSB’s #2 4 ounces
My gun only, no stock= scope with rings weighs 6# 10 ounces “Scope and rings are 27 ounces”
My entire gun with stock, mags, pellets, scope and rings is right at 9#
What I am doing is going with skeleton stock which knocks off a full pound. Next is a lightweight scope that will knock off another pound so I will end up right around 7 pounds.
Somewhere around 7lbs scoped is what I’m getting with a compact skeleton 22cal. My digital bathroom scale reads 7.0 but i doubt it’s dead on.. Just saying around 7lbs. My scope weighs about 17.5oz.
Just get a light scope and you’re golden. I don’t see much else from your list besides the skeleton stock that’s worth the effort.
are you talking about a standard .22 cricket????
If so get a compact AT and barrel!
