The Kalibrgun bullpups are super accurate.

[@theGunLocker]

So I've heard...hope to find out one day.

[@stephengspencer1583]

17:30 Thank you. I like your choice of this attractive carbine and the rationale behind it. Nice to see these Czech carbine and optics. The Czech's have a long and proud record of engineering excellence.

[@garynasrallah8710]

I have had a kalibr cricket 60 for a year now love it its got the 3 piece laminate orange and gray kit. its a.25 cal. Nice to see one being reviewed they dont get much publicity not sure why they are great guns.

[@theGunLocker]

Hi Gary, glad to hear that you love your Cricket. From what I've seen so far, it's a great gun. Hopefully I get to review others from the KalibrGun range. All the best and thanks for watching

[@Rain-i3m]

What exactly makes this the second gen Cricket Carbine? I have the mk1 Carbine for 10 years now and I can't seem to find any difference between these. There's a Cricket 2 bullpup, which has the forward cocking. The Carbine is exactly the same, on the outside at least. My Cricket is still excellent and accurate as ever, and yes... it's better than the hw100 except for the finicky mag loading.

[@theGunLocker]

Hi @Rain-i3m, apologies for the late reply. Honestly couldn't answer your question so I've put it to the guys at KalibrGun. As soon as I get an answer I'll let you know.

[@theGunLocker]

Hi @Rain-i3m. Just heard back from the guys at KalibrGun and it appears that I have made a mistake. It's not a Mark II. It is in fact a Mark I. My apologies for any confusion. All the best.

[@mikebird8290]

CONGRATULATIONS SIR. LIKE YOU SAY SAY'S ALOT ABOUT WHAT THEY THINK OF YOUR CHANEL. SHOULD BE PROUD 🎯🇬🇧👍🏼

Thanks Mike... I'm over the moon and yes very proud! All the best and thanks for watching

[@edgarmaynard9817]

Nice ONE 👍👍👍

[@24745037]

Brilliant, glad you got some manufacturer interested in your channel. Just one thing, Czech republic is nothing to do with Chechen, easy to get confused, you were getting mixed up with your vocabulary somewhat today😂 Really enjoyed this video, still halfway through it. That rifle looks first class.

[@theGunLocker]

Hi... thanks for watching and glad you're enjoying it. My pronunciation may be off but I meant to say Czechian...meaning residing in Czechia. All the best

[@gnarlyboot477]

Great review, I bought my HW100 after your review, and haven’t regretted it. Love your multi colour target, is it available to print?

[@theGunLocker]

Hi @gnarlyboot477, thanks for your comments and glad to hear you're getting on with the HW100...it's a great air rifle (legendary). Also good to hear that you like my targets. You can find them on my shop: ko-fi.com/thegunlocker/shop All the best!

[@MrRockstar1968]

I've searched many UK websites for Kalirgun rifles, though unfortunately there's not many UK suppliers from what I could find.

[@theGunLocker]

At present you're correct. The only UK dealer as I'm aware is Vector Air in Newark, Nottinghamshire. They're also supported by Andy from AAR.

[@MarkHomer-rj3uh]

Is it £500 better then the Weihrauch though? that's the question.. That's a damn good scope on top if you think about it.. Seems like a great gun, see a few down our range ( not that model) they seem happy.. Tremendous review yet again, but I'll say this, you can't drop points because it ONLY has a 14 shot mag, I mean, years ago you could only load one at a time.. 14 is plenty, yes FX have a 21 shot, and I think one rifle ( can't think what make) has a 37 shot mag or around that, don't think it should lose points on mag size... Let's see face it, we weren't all born with big Willy's, small ones make babies anawl... If ya get me drift, still think your the best reviewer on the Tube though .. 4.2/5

[@theGunLocker]

Omg... haha 😆🤣 That is probably my most favourite of all comments on this channel. I give you 4.3/5.0 hahaha 🤣

[@scottkelly379]

Great video mate, ive got the kalibrgun cricket mk1 and its fantastic ,could you please try and get a kalibrgun cricket mk2 tactical 45 target rifle for review as there doesn't seem to be any reviews of this particular rifle on KZbin, this will be my next rifle or the one your testing now, the guns from from the Czech Republic are brilliant as well as my old cricket ive got the agt vixen and a airmaks katran, cheers 👍now subscribed.

[@theGunLocker]

Thanks Scott! I'll do my best. Thanks for watching, subscribing and taking the time to comment!

[@davepearson2736]

If you don't mind me saying your technique was much better with the pellets that grouped well , much more relaxed and your hold time on target after the shot was greatly improved.

[@theGunLocker]

Hi Dave...no I don't mind. There's a lot to worry about when trying to shoot and film at the same time. Because I do all the filming by myself, I'm never quite sure whether I'm in shot or even if the camera is recording. I never really relax into my shooting when all that's going on. I also have this constant battle going on between shooting consistently regards timings and trying to keep the video within a time limit. Anyway, that said, all positive criticism is welcome. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. All the best

[@davepearson2736]

[@davidtaylor5384]

Might have had better accuracy if you don’t shoot off a plastic box with by-pod legs .rifle will be more stable on a solid base .i shoot a Day-state red Wolfe 177 sub12 it shoots J.S.B 8.44. 4.52. also QYS.8.48 4.50 pellet on pellet at 25 meters. Still a good review .

[@theGunLocker]

That's just the point...the rifle isn't bolted down or clamped into a bench rest...it's not being shot in an indoor range...and it's being shot at 30m with wind affecting the shot. All the best and thanks for watching

[@garydaubney4025]

when you start with "i hope this the start of a long relationship" with kailbr gun, then you are no way going to give your first gun a bad reveiw..you should have kept that bit of info quiet,

[@theGunLocker]

Why should I have kept that bit quiet? Why shouldn't I be honest? At the end of the day, I've worked hard to get to the point where manufacturers are asking for my opinion and that's something I'm proud of. And in truth, they know that I'll not hold back, so if something's bad, it will be highlighted. On the other hand, if it's good, it's good! Works both ways, but a decent manufacturer will take criticism and make improvements as a result. You may feel that my review is biased and you're perfectly within your rights to do so. All I can say, is that I have treated it the same way as every other rifle I have reviewed. And I have been critical of it on many counts and especially about the loading of the magazine. I have compared it to the HW100T (which would be its closest rival) and made no attempt to hide anything. At the end of the day, Kalibrgun will either continue to send me rifles or not and that comes down to whether they have the courage to have their rifles publicly scrutunized by some one like me that's not afraid to tell the truth. And if I don't receive another rifle from them, then I guess we have an answer. I'm not contracted to them in anyway. And for your information along with whoever else might be reading this reply, the guys at Kalibrgun are looking at this review and reading these comments. They take this sort of thing very seriously, as they should. That said, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Apologies for the long winded reply but I pride myself on my honesty and this needed to be said. Also, as a closing point. Yes I do like the Cricket II Carbine for many reasons and hopefully they will come to light in future videos. All the best

[@stephenbudd-kt8pt]

30 minutes max, pls zero scope no review seem to do it only takes a few shots great vid

[@theGunLocker]

I've tried shorter vids but they're just not me. Time stamps allow you to skip through if you want. And regards zeroing the scope...yes I could but the results are more than sufficient. I've just watched another KZbinr shoot an indoor range at 25m fixed to the bench using an Anschutz and his grouping wasn't any better than mine on a breezy day at 30m. There's plenty of short vids on KZbin if that's your bag. That said, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. All the best

[@MrRockstar1968]

The cocking mechanism sounds off putting to me.

[@theGunLocker]

To be honest and once the mag is in place the cocking is sweet as anything. Don't let my in experience of loading the mag put you off. It's a great gun! All the best as always and thanks for your continued support!

[@carlssonfan]

Looks like Kalibr are doing pcp only.

[@theGunLocker]

Hi @carlssonfan...appears so. But if that is what they're good at, better sticking to it. All the best and thanks for watching

[@Guns2411]

Nice.too expensive

[@theGunLocker]

It is very nice and extremely high quality. You get what you pay for with a KalibrGun...excellence!

[@stevenpritchard3519]

Surely it’s better than that 😢

[@theGunLocker]

Give it time... straight out of the box... barrel's not cleaned and it's not leaded in. You'll see more of it soon enough. All the best and thanks for watching

[@janbergen2109]

Keep it shorter

[@theGunLocker]

It's what I do...there are time stamps if you want to skip through but most of my subscribers prefer the long format. All the best

[@cybersmart_eu]

KALIBRGUN has Russian roots (founded in Moscow) which for me atm is a show stopper touching their products as to me the link back to Moscow is unknown. But anyways I stick to my Weihrauch …

[@theGunLocker]

I understand where you're coming from with all the troubles in Ukraine, but for all intent and purposes they are now a Czechian (Czech Republic) company and may have absolutely nothing to do with those troubles. Have you stopped using Chinese products due to their supporting Russia? The market is flooded with Chinese made scopes
