Well out of my range price wise but I enjoy the mix of weapons on here and (your) Andy's consistent format. The channel it's self has assisted me in various ways since discovering Air gunning over lockdown and I think helped me avoid a few pitfalls.
Andy, great video of a lovely rifle. Get yourself a rabbit eared rear bag and squeeze the bag to alter the elevation. It takes away the human element of heart beats and the jitters that plague folk like me who suffer the highs and lows of caffeine and nicotine when on the range. Thanks for all your ongoing effort and kindest regards from Scotland.
I was looking for a compact 22. that I didn't have to take apart just to tune one way or another. I found out talentunes was selling these ones for 1250 american pre tax, and immediately jumped on it. It should be here on thursday and it's gonna be fitted with the vector veyron 3-12x44 ffp currently on my 177 flashpup. Beautiful review as usual, and thank you for your time and dedication put into your videos!
Now that is a seriously nice bit of kit. And I love the fact that even when you said 'that shot was my fault' it was still inside the 10 ring. Nice gun, nice shooting.
GOT IT! last week, disapointment is an understatement. Asked for a chrono print out before i bought it, what was sent was a printout for another cricket not the one i had they said, so what was the point of that.. best i can get out of mine is 10.9 with QYS - jsb 10.34 come in at a miserable 10.76. One of mags needed new O rings as it wouldn't hold the 10.34s. The mk1 is by far a better rifle, should have known better.
I love these guns more so than the fx impact which I have both , but the impact will be sold on as I prefer the later , personal preference, great review.
I've been in and out of the air gun world for a while now but love watching your videos and how you present them. My r10 se in 177 is turning up next week 😁
Very nice but if I had to find a fault, I'd like to see some color in the gage, so I don't have to remember numbers, but I'm old with more than one gun
The Czech barrels are really very accurate! Nice rifle, but I wouldn't trade it for my Airmaks Krait for anything! Even more compact than this! (400 mm barrel)
Loving the look of this gun, and it's accuracy. But I am wondering if you could do some kind of video for people that might want to start competitions without busting the bank, or maybe 3 different budget levels or something.
The tactical hunting rifle market is getting pretty crowded - great to see more options to choose from. Just a put a little black on the safety "safe" side of the switch.
Good review Andy, this looks a good gun for uk market sub12ft rifles don’t need power adjustment wheels or more than one regulator . Personally I don’t think £1500 to £2000 is a excessive amount to pay for a hobby keep the rifle for say 5 yr and if you want to change it , it would still be worth £1000 that means it’s only cost you £200 a year for your hobby , how many hobbies are that cheap.👍
Hi Nice comment. Yes hobbys, I used to fly remote control aircraft, spend weeks and hundreds of pounds building it and a couple of seconds crashing it. So totally agree compared to golf even match fishing, air guns are a cheap hobby compared to the ones I've mentioned.
Kinda cool. Like that the orange color scheme reminds me of the orange CZ Shadow ACCU pistol - and the Cricket then has a CZ barrel..😁 -Not fond of that safety. All over red colored? Both ends also? .. And I'd (as a righty) rather have a safety button be pushed into fire mode from right side to left with my index finger - as then my hand would be well placed around the grip, and my finger up-front, off the trigger when the trigger gets live.. Now I'm thinking of an odd position with a twisted wrist to press the safety with my thumb?. (I hope the safety was not an automatically resetting one..🤣)
Cant decide between this tactical 45, A regular C2 bullpup compact or the Mini carbine. Ugh. This thing weighs the most out of them and just seems like the bulkiest of the 3. Not that thats a bad thing. I just want something light and compact I can toss in a duffle bag or throw in the truck.
Hi Andy I need to stop watching you. As I was down at Newark for a wee break and I found the vector air shop so it would be rude not to drop in and have a look. Which cost me a few pounds as a got the cricket 2 and moderator. Great to talk to the boys and see the shop. Can't wait to see what you have in your next show if am aloud to watch.
That's a nice gun . I do wish you had fired it without moderator on . But cracking gun all the same thanks for great review 👍👍👍😜🏴🦄🦕😁✌️🤞 Ps going to be a nightmare when aluminium pellets become law
Definitely a nice gun but Well out of my cost of living crisis price range . think you should do a new pcp rifle that is in the cost of living wage well under the £500 range
Also...why do some of them seem to come with the matching laminate cheek piece and others just have a black (what i assume is metal) top cover? Its like different sellers sites all show different versions
Miniscule detail but is 4:44 backwards? The image shows left to right, 'depressed' is safe, and right to left, 'Pushed in' is fire but the transcript says opposite.
Hi Andy, why don't you sight the rifles in high so you retain your POA for smaller groups. love your reviews. I now want to get rid of my new HW100 to get the BSW R12 but it looks like they are not in Australia yet. Keep the reviews coming.
Yes I never sight dead centre target shooting , on precision pistol target shooting I set the sights at the bottom edge of the bullseye, so the rounds hit dead centre of the bullseye.
Mr AAR, quick question, if you had the choice between the Cricket 2 tac 45 or the Brocock Ghost plus to part with your £1500. Which would you choose ????
Great video as always. I have a skan r32 ultra with a broken bottle receiver. I have struggled to find anyone with knowledge of the platform. Does anyone have any contacts?
Please explain two stage trigger,, i have 4 rifles with this and just don't get it,, once you start that seem it no return? basically whats the difference between a single stage and a two stage? excepting that of course that a two stage being a softer pull
Andy , I am looking for the air rifle (springer or PCP) with the prettiest, most highly figured walnut stock available. Which factory make and model would you recommend? Thanks!
My boss knows on a Friday morning as soon as I get to work I watch your latest release in my workshop. He's sat watching it in the office lol
Well out of my range price wise but I enjoy the mix of weapons on here and (your) Andy's consistent format. The channel it's self has assisted me in various ways since discovering Air gunning over lockdown and I think helped me avoid a few pitfalls.
What was the price if I may ask?

The older I and my wrist get the more I appreciate tactical stocks and pistol grips 👍

Love to see the high end as well as the (my level) budget guns. Another brilliant review :)

I'm about $ 18 K US . In the pipe dream world of AAR's reviews this year.
I've been in and out of the air gun world for a while now but love watching your videos and how you present them. My r10 se in 177 is turning up next week 😁
Nice to see something that can be used by those of us who 'overcame' being right-handed,
that is, left-handed.
CRAZY HEAVEY FOR SUCH A SMALL GUN!!!!
cz is top ,a cz75 9 mm is still the standard and base for many custom guns .
Really really like it. I need the christmas fairy to leave one under the tree
Very nice but if I had to find a fault, I'd like to see some color in the gage, so I don't have to remember numbers, but I'm old with more than one gun
Morning Andy, another brilliant review
Let's see the power levels.. humm same as every other sub 12 for the uk.
Iv'e told her indoors its a terrys chocolate orange and i want it for xmas.she did'nt fall for it andy!!!
Became aware of this manuf after another RUclips video - not too keen on the stock stocks as per the website - this video has upped my interest
The Czech barrels are really very accurate! Nice rifle, but I wouldn't trade it for my Airmaks Krait for anything! Even more compact than this! (400 mm barrel)
Seems to be a great gun. My question is if with this magazine you need to count your shots to know when it is empty…
Loving the look of this gun, and it's accuracy. But I am wondering if you could do some kind of video for people that might want to start competitions without busting the bank, or maybe 3 different budget levels or something.
love the color and the setup beautiful gun would look good under the christmas tree
Well it's ok for the time of year as it looks a bit like a Christmas 🎄 Tree!
Cool vid.
We’re all allowed to dream 👍🏻👍🏻
The tactical hunting rifle market is getting pretty crowded - great to see more options to choose from. Just a put a little black on the safety "safe" side of the switch.
Very nice and yeah agree about safety catch.
Very Good Andy , thank you .
Brother, that’s some darn good shooting.
Hi Andy 👋, great review of a stunning Rifle..This rifle is up there ! With the best rifles ... Thank you Simon
Love it, but yes premium price
Thanks for showing us
Great shooting especially sitting on a flimsy chair a table that doesn’t look very solid either . 👍
another great review Sir, thank you
Another great review thanks Andy 👍
I also camed delivered from the factory with a cocking indicator. Didn’t know that was a safety measure tho…
Love the gun nice con from Ireland 🇮🇪

So totally agree compared to golf even match fishing, air guns are a cheap hobby compared to the ones I've mentioned.
Divide your numbers by 4, and you could speak for the common person. Most of us need that 2k for vehicle repairs, rent etc 😂
You get to shoot the nicest boy toys.
Kinda cool.
Like that the orange color scheme reminds me of the orange CZ Shadow ACCU pistol - and the Cricket then has a CZ barrel..😁

Your reputation is on the line, just bought one on what your saying. I'll be back
Another temptation....when will it stop.
I presume you’re looking to buy a new gun as well I’m in the same boat😂
Wow
Nice Revue Andy ,thanks 👍
Cant decide between this tactical 45, A regular C2 bullpup compact or the Mini carbine. Ugh. This thing weighs the most out of them and just seems like the bulkiest of the 3. Not that thats a bad thing. I just want something light and compact I can toss in a duffle bag or throw in the truck.
I wonder if a cut cotton swab and pin would make a good dart.
A straight-pin through the end of a shoelace does!!
I need one of these in my quiver 👍🏻🍺
I’ve wanted this gun for a looong time and I really glad you got to do a review of one! It’s just affirmed my desire all the more! 😂
It would be good to position the camera slightly behind you where the target is visible too so that the viewer could see the distance and accuracy.
Hi Andy I need to stop watching you. As I was down at Newark for a wee break and I found the vector air shop so it would be rude not to drop in and have a look. Which cost me a few pounds as a got the cricket 2 and moderator. Great to talk to the boys and see the shop. Can't wait to see what you have in your next show if am aloud to watch.
The guys informed me of a foreign invader visiting (😉) great choice, enjoy it. stay safe. Andy
@@AAROnair thank you very much going home skint now
Morning Andy. There is a knob just above the butt , when you cooked the rifle a red indicator pops out ( you missed this ).
Actually he didn’t, it pops out to show when the gun is cocked.
No it was pointed out by Andy .
Another great review
That's a nice gun . I do wish you had fired it without moderator on . But cracking gun all the same thanks for great review
👍👍👍😜🏴🦄🦕😁✌️🤞
Ps going to be a nightmare when aluminium pellets become law
Awesome!!!
The face on the tree lol
Nice rifle. Great review as usual.
Nice one Andy and please don't be so hard on yourself Man.
Nice
Nice, & i now don't feel bad about paying £2150 for a Steyr Hunting 5 semi auto!
Bagus....good.
Definitely a nice gun but Well out of my cost of living crisis price range . think you should do a new pcp rifle that is in the cost of living wage well under the £500 range
Wow beautiful
I wish I can have one ❤
Not my thing but when it shoots like that can't complaine
Nice gun
Интересный аппарат получился👍
Thank you Andy, great review as always, not for me but clearly a great gun!
Does anyone know where I can get this rifle in the Uk excellent video
You didn't mentioned about shot count. This gun looks more compact than FX and other bull up. To me it has got low velocity than FX.
Want one!
Also...why do some of them seem to come with the matching laminate cheek piece and others just have a black (what i assume is metal) top cover? Its like different sellers sites all show different versions
Precisa de mais meu amigo
I love this stock hope to get one for myself soon
could solve the red saftey with abit of mrs aar s black nail varnish
Sharing
Respect Andy. I see a master of the background sr900. A very good air gun for little money.
These, AGT and Airmaks seem very similar
would you choose this gun over AGT Vixin short?
mmmm nice. I think that accuracy is as much about accurate zeroing of the scope, as it is the rifle itself.
Miniscule detail but is 4:44 backwards?
The image shows left to right, 'depressed' is safe,
and right to left, 'Pushed in' is fire
but the transcript says opposite.

Doesn't work for me, looks like a nerf gun/fire extinguisher combination.
Mr AAR, quick question, if you had the choice between the Cricket 2 tac 45 or the Brocock Ghost plus to part with your £1500. Which would you choose ????
I had a look for that scope and could not match the one you mentioned. Would you mind linking the scope used in this review please.

Andy , I am looking for the air rifle (springer or PCP) with the prettiest, most highly figured walnut stock available. Which factory make and model would you recommend?
Thanks!
How many shots per charge does it give in 5.5 at 900fps??
สวยมากครับ
Seems like your channel has outgrown us "plebs".
hi andy hi everybody, how much shoots can you get with the sub 12 /16 joule version cricket 2 wtc 45 on 177 4,5mm ? shot count per 300 bar fill ?
What's tactical about it ?
Amazing rifle, and I think value for money really. Now, which one do I sell, a child or a kidney?
If you have 2, always the child 😉
You can always make another child, the kidneys, not so much.
👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
Is there a 20moa on the picatinny rail does anyone know please?
