The Crickett My First Rifle is a purpose-built .22 LR bolt-action rifle designed specifically for young shooters and beginners stepping into firearms for the first time. Manufactured in the USA, this single-shot rifle has earned its reputation over more than two decades as a trusted first gun for hunters, target shooters, and families introducing kids to safe, responsible shooting. At under 3 pounds with an 11½-inch length of pull, it's proportioned for smaller frames without sacrificing the handling and ergonomics that build good shooting habits.
The rifle's simplicity is its strength. The manual cocking bolt-action design is intuitive to operate, and the single-shot capacity keeps the focus on marksmanship fundamentals rather than rate of fire. The adjustable rear peep sight and fixed front post are practical for learning proper sight alignment, and the blued 16.1-inch barrel keeps the overall length (30 inches) compact and manageable for young shooters. The 1:16 rifling twist is optimized for standard .22 LR ammunition, which is affordable and readily available for practice and small-game hunting.
Whether you're introducing a child to shooting sports, looking for a reliable small-bore rifle for light hunting, or building a collection of American-made firearms, the Crickett delivers quality and reliability at its price point. The lifetime warranty reflects the maker's confidence in the design, and the rifle's straightforward mechanics make it easy to teach and maintain.
