paulk73 151 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Anyone shot one or had any experience with one?? I'm hearing lots of good things about them. Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Would be better if it was a HW100 bullpup. 1 Quote Link to post
kanny 20,779 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I've heard a lot of good things about them a lot of the rapid boys have got into them but they don't do it for me I just don't like bullpups. Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Really ment to be mint mate. Its the pup look that you either like or dont. Id have one. If I had the cash spare. Loads of pups out there now though. Someone needs to develop pup springer Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 HW97 Bullpup. 1 Quote Link to post
paulk73 151 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 It's not the look I'm after. It's the performance of the shorter lighter rifle. Quote Link to post
paulk73 151 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I mainly just shoot rats at night so I'm thinking one of these bad boys might be the way forward. Bit lighter than my kt Quote Link to post
kanny 20,779 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) I mainly just shoot rats at night so I'm thinking one of these bad boys might be the way forward. Bit lighter than my kt if you have a hw 100 kt then there both the same weight 3.3kg ?...its one of the few bad things I've heard about the cricket is that they are heavy for what they are also yourcheek/ ear is right up against the gun body not very pleasant in winter with the cold metal and with the compact weight a few have said the balance isn't great .I would definitely recommend shouldering one before you buy ....All that said if you can get on with one there ment to be a very handy tool.

Bunnyblatter 1,012 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Cricket is no good for me being left handed as the cocking lever would be in my ear hole lol. I've just got a Colibri but yet to get out with it due to work commitments. I'm sure you'll get on with the cricket. I used Dave G's when he had it and it was spot on Quote Link to post
paulk73 151 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Cheers lads. Just looked at the weights of them. Would you lads go for the standard or the compact and why? Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 HW97 Bullpup. Funnily enough there is one for sale at Blackpool Airguns. A custom job. Quote Link to post

bugg 84 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Airgun gear show on you tube has a positive review quite funny too Quote Link to post
paulk73 151 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Red there is also a second hand cricket in..they are £1000 new. And the second hand 1 is up for £998. So if you are prepared to forfeit 12 months warranty,you could save yourself 2 quid. Quote Link to post
