The Keystone Sporting Arms Crickett in .22 LR with synthetic stock is a purpose-built first rifle for young shooters learning the fundamentals. Manufactured in the USA, this manual bolt-action single-shot .22 has been the gateway rifle for beginners for over two decades. The compact 11.5-inch length of pull and featherweight build—under 3 pounds—fit smaller frames comfortably, while the straightforward single-shot design forces deliberate, safe shooting habits that build real marksmanship skills.
Safety is engineered in: the rifle features a rebounding firing pin that's automatically blocked to prevent accidental discharge, and it ships with a trigger lock. The 16.1-inch barrel pairs with adjustable rear peep sights and a fixed front post for intuitive aiming. Loading is simplified with the EZ Loader system (a Crickett exclusive), making the manual process quick and confidence-building for kids. Standard scope base and swivel studs let you adapt the rifle to your setup, whether open sights or optics—perfect for backyard plinking, small-game hunting, or developing competitive rimfire shooters.
Every box includes ear and eye protection, so you're ready to head to the range straight out of the case. The synthetic stock handles weather and rough handling that comes with youth use, and the .22 LR round delivers low recoil, modest report, and ammunition availability that won't drain a young shooter's budget—or yours. This is serious training iron, not a toy.
