I tried some Barracudas and some others, but nothing shoots like the JSBs. I consistently drill starlings in a big dead oak from my front porch lasered at 53 yds. Dead bird every time.
I always wanted to try .25 Polymags (my .22 Cricket…Read more

I got the gun back after having it tuned to shoot 34 gr Kings Mk II at ~910 fps. Shoots them well, but I was surprised to find it shoots the 24gr JSBs at 980 fps very very well. I have been shooting them out of it exclusively because I get a much flatter trajectory farther out. FP are…Read more

My goal is for a super hunting stock.
Also very easy to work with. Here’s a link to how the wood looks unstinted.

He free floated my barrel. Haven’t had a chance to shoot yet but will this coming weekend. Shooting JSB 18s @ ~920 fps
And I do remember a post about free-floating the barrel but I cannot remember where either :whistle:

Should be getting my .25 back from Ernest soon. Having him tune it to shoot the heavies. FPS set at 895 w the Mk I. Not the greatest shot count (27 from 220 to off reg) but not my biggest criteria. Purely hunting gun so shot count / fill not a big deal.
ER only had Mk II to test with so I will try both.

If I get 3 clips at 900 fps I would be okay with that. How often you get 30 shots while hunting? Chances are ER will get more out of her but we shall see

Was concerned w lack of news. I would be first in line for a Colibri in .25 semi or not!!
I was really hoping for some news about getting a lighter stock for the Cricket.
Wish they would bring back the skeleton as an after-market option.
