Airmaks krait

Hello,
I am looking for info on the kraits before i buy one.
I know a couple of friends have the krait in .177 and are extremely accurate.
Are the .22 versions as accurate?
Also what pellet is best suited to the .22 ?
Thanks

every gun tends to be different but i have found all my previous Airmaks rifles have liked jsb diablo heavies. in 177 and .22. there is a new Krait coming out you might want to hold out for that bud

I don't know about the .22 versions but the .177 ones are superb.
The accuracy is sublime with JSB Express pellets.
The rifle has an appeal which spans the generations from youngsters to pensioners.

I have been considering a krait myself, however thinking ahead, what are these like for servicing? Are these the type of rifles that our in house air rifle gurus are happy to work on,or are they avoided due to being not so straightforward or issues with getting spares.
Cheers,
Shawn

The krait is a very easy gun to work on and cdr guns has absolutely loads of how to videos on YouTube
And you don't need a degree in rocket science to fix them

Thank all for the replies, I am going look out for the newer model and treat myself.

I bought a 177 and like everyone's saying a very accurate rifle and fun to shoot. Decent build, nice magazines with 14 shots in 25. I can't speak about 22 but I can talk about the .25 as I bought a barrel and bits for mine. The accuracy is fine for me and the pellets of that size work for my stiff gnarly hands. I struggle with the 177's as they're too diddy I don't know that many people go the 25 route for punching holes. My consideration was rats and it deals with them no problem
As a general rule I find the 22 rifles pretty much always makes for a bigger group when compared to a 177. There have been a couple of exceptions one being the Panthera which was pretty good to say the least. John from Hawkeseyetv reviewed one on his channel and I got to put a few pellets through it V nice!. I'm kinda lucky in that regard as I have opportunity to shoot lots of different rifles without parting with any cash. There has to be some advantage to having a range where reviewers do their thang eh Adz from adzhunts has recently bought a wine rack in 22 that shoots nice groups. Cant remember the model, I believe it's one of their newer models. Maybe not as tight as the Panthera but pretty good for a 22... bit cheaper too I believe...
I like the air arms diablo fields in mine. An excellent pellet in my humble opinion. My Prophet and my Priest both liked em

I'm using JSB Hades in .22 and they're accurate enough for my use.

Don’t quote me on this but I was pondering over a Krait myself and read somewhere June is the release date for the Krait 2

I've been holding out for the new model too, lets hope it drops in June.

Ive had a session with thr krait l .22 at my club and seemed fussy with pellet choice but once I used jsb hades it truly was a fantastic accurate rifle
Also worked well with barracuda 15s

My .22 krait loves jsb jumbo rs 13.43 gr

My Krait Long lite is an exceptionally accurate & not really pellet fussy.
It's.177 & I use it for hunting & at the range as it has a massive shot count.
jsb 10.34 & h&n ft's are what I use .

Think I'm right in saying airmaks are set up using jsb heavies has above mine like the baracuda ft's and heavies it will shoot lighter pellets okish but it does prefer the heavier ones

I looked on airmaks site but can't see anything.

The one to ask would be @Ganton Gunner himself, he was a guest on the Airmarks stand the other week. I think there is an AGF U-tube vid showing the MK2
