KalibrGun Cricket 2 Tactical PCP Air Rifle

Ultra-Compact, Ultra-Consistent, Ultra-Accurate – A Bullpup Built for Performance

The KalibrGun Cricket 2 Tactical is a refined, modern evolution of one of the most celebrated bullpup PCP air rifles in recent history—the original Cricket Mk1. Built from the ground up with tactical functionality, regulated consistency, and exceptional accuracy in mind, this rifle is a serious contender for anyone demanding pellet-on-pellet performance from a compact and rugged platform.

🔥 300BAR Fill, Carbon Tank, and Regulated Precision

Unlike the standard Cricket 2, the Tactical version boasts a lightweight carbon fibre air tank that fills to 300BAR, delivering a huge shot count of approximately 200–300 shots per fill (calibre-dependent). Pair that with one of the most consistent regulators we've ever seen—achieving single-digit FPS spreads—and you’ve got a precision rifle that’s as efficient as it is compact.

🎯 Why the Cricket 2 Tactical Is a Standout Bullpup

• Exceptionally Compact – Just 700mm in length, yet full power and full performance.

• 450mm CZ Choked Barrel – A carefully matched twist rate and long choke deliver top-tier pellet stability.

• 12-Groove CZ Barrel – Renowned for class-leading precision and consistency.

• Sub-16 Joule Sweet Spot – Perfectly optimised for UK legal limits, with low friction and high efficiency.

This is one of the most accurate PCP rifles we’ve tested—period. Whether you're benchresting, pest controlling, or stretching your paper-punching to new distances, the Cricket 2 Tactical doesn’t just hold its own—it sets the standard.

🔄 Advanced Rotary Magazine System – Built for Precision, Designed to Preserve Pellet Integrity

The KalibrGun Cricket 2 Tactical features one of the most advanced rotary magazine systems on the market. Unlike spring-loaded, self-indexing magazines—common in many PCP rifles—that often squash soft lead pellets during loading, KalibrGun's mechanically indexed magazine ensures each pellet is chambered with total alignment and minimal contact.

This system offers exceptional consistency and reliability, allowing shooters to enjoy multi-shot convenience without sacrificing accuracy—eliminating the usual need to switch to a single-shot tray for best results.

🔢 Magazine Capacity:

• .177 / 4.5mm: 14 shots

• .22 / 5.5mm: 14 shots

⚙️ How It Works – Dual-Mode Operation:

The magazine system can operate in two selectable modes, giving you control over how it's indexed depending on your preference:

• Cock the rifle so the bolt is locked to the rear (open position).

• Pull back the magazine retention pin at the front of the breech. This retracts the locking detent.

• Insert the magazine from either side—the detent will prevent it from sliding through.

• Lift the magazine gate, then push it forward to select a mode:

  • Midway Position – Manual Indexing Mode: You rotate the magazine by hand between each shot. This reduces the resistance during cocking and offers a smoother cycling feel for HFT or Benchrest shooters.

  • Fully Forward – Auto Indexing Mode: The final part of the cocking stroke rotates the magazine for you, enabling faster follow-up shots.

Unlike spring-loaded mags that rely on retention tension, the Cricket’s system ensures the probe always pushes the pellet directly and precisely into the breech without deforming it. This maintains the pellet’s integrity and flight stability—ideal for both target and pest control use.

🔇 Shrouded + Threaded for Stealth Shooting

The CZ barrel is fully shrouded for excellent sound suppression straight out of the box. If that’s not quiet enough, the muzzle is also threaded 1/2" UNF to accept your preferred moderator—ideal for discreet pest control and back garden plinking alike.

🧨 Built as a Bullpup – Not Converted into One

Many bullpups suffer from spongey, rod-based trigger linkages. The Cricket 2 Tactical, however, was engineered as a bullpup from day one. The result? A crisp, predictable trigger with none of the slack or slop typically associated with this format.

🛠️ Features That Matter

• Cocked Indicator – Know your status at a glance.

• Manual Knock-Over Safety – Simple and intuitive.

• 20MOA Picatinny Scope Rail – 220mm of real estate with a built-in incline for long-range optics.

• Accessory Rail – Lower 60mm Picatinny for grips or bipods.

• Side-Mounted Pressure Gauge – Easy to read while shooting.

• Reversible Sidelever – Suits left or right-handed shooters.

• Thumbhole Tactical Stock – With integrated magazine storage.
