Edgun is meant to be a good long range choice”or so I’m told so once zero it will be straight out to 100 yards if…Read more

The cricket was very accurate and consistent on the chrono but I did not like the overall finish on the cricket”would was very poor..metal finish was also poor with marks on the shroud/air…Read more

Can you tell me which type I would need please?? Or will the long and short poly mags fit the edgun magazine??

I still have my picatinny mounts I used on my kalibr cricket will these mounts fit the edgun matador or will I need to change?? My current mounts are medium mounts for my hawke air max scope 4x16x50 which I’m sure will be a great combo

For the limited amount of time it was in my hands the cricket shot very well and was pellet on pellet at 60 yards..one ragged hole groups at 52 ft lbs..

When you place spit over the pin hole it forms a bubble which very slowly increases in size until it pops but does take some time to do…Read more
