I guess the $1100-$1300 price tag was a myth

Who cares. I’ll own a .177 Compact soon. Very soon…

Yes an M79 is very good. :suprisedn:
Just a picture with size perspective. Puts me in mind of a M79.
That’s right! You did sell that beautiful Air Ranger. Ya crazy o’l Hoot. Man, I would have loved to have owned that Gun! And the stock was really special! 😯 😀

But I like fire extinguishers. You did after all, have one hell of a good looking Air Ranger! 😀

Right on ‘Knife…but there is no comparison. An Air Ranger put out 60 fpe in .22 caliber, a drop dead beautiful stock, a great unregulated shot count, nail driving accurate, and it was a full sized air rifle, with a large diameter highly effective Pamona Air Guns custom shroud. It was a man’s gun, and did absolutely everything I expected out of it. Plus, I sold it at a profit. I now wish I had kept it, and installed a regulator in it. Hindsight…hindsight always grabs you by the ass!
Kalibr took a cute, functional, 24″ prototype mini-multi-shot, pcp, that fit a very narrow niche market, and instead produced the pcp equivalent of a red headed, buck-toothed, one legged stepchild, afflicted with the shits. Even worse, they then think we are stupid enough to believe it is worth $1500 so we can spray pellets like water out of a garden hose!
I’d place this market mis-match right up there with the Evanix full auto, and the Benjamin Rogue! Once people get this gun in hand they will realize what it doesn’t do, and what it isn’t. THINK people, just THINK…what will you do with this bastard half-breed? Besides waste pellets, time, and a LOT of money! The idiots had it right the first time, but some VP must have had a pcp semi-auto wet dream, and all his minions took a good idea, made it longer, heavier, more complex, and raised the price by 50%.
I wanted one, but I sure as hell don’t want THIS one, at any price! It doesn’t fit any type of shooting I know of. I do, however, still want a light, short, multi-shot, .22 caliber, magazine fed, bolt/lever loaded “truck gun” for opportunistic shooting as I came across it. That leaves the unavailable single shot Lelya, and the Cricket Short, as the only guns that might work in that niche.
Shame.
Hoot:
Stocks covered up and not quite horizontal but Steve has one on the WWAG site with the synthetic stock. It’s fugly. 😯
Girls and a horizontal hand held bird.
I notice they never hardly show pictures of them horizontally in the marketing photos because they are just plain fugly when they aren’t vertical or have a good angle to them. I am having a Bobcat moment but not a Beluga moment. 🙄 Anyone get a good weight on the final long one – maybe 6 lbs?
Hey, Hoot: I like the looks of that new thunder chicken with the custom red air tube, I didn’t know they were gonna offer that. It looks to have a flexible tether setup too.
Hoot, ALL Bottle guns have fire extinguishers hanging off the Front! :rofl:

A Fire Extinguisher. :hoot:
I be fine without semi. I liked the one we first saw that was compact and had the bolt on the left. Thought it was pretty cool.
but not sure on what it has transformed to now… maybe they can bring another one to the market, like what we first all saw 6 months or so. then have to price points. semi or non semi
Wow no signer uppers here yet, !!!
I am with you on the Hummingbird. Going the Compact Cricket in .177 instead of considering the Bird was a no-brainer. I am hoping they modify the Hummingbird once it is out six months to the shorty version and fix the problems they are supposedly having right now. :ugeekn: No one needs a buggy Big Bird. :smilen:
