There is something refreshing about a firearm that does one thing and does it well. The Crickett 41001 Hunter from Keystone Sporting Arms is a manual-cocking, bolt action single shot chambered in .22 Magnum, built around a 9 inch blued steel barrel and a handsome American walnut stock. It is sized for adults, not kids, and the whole package weighs in around two and a third pounds, light enough to carry all day on a squirrel hunt or stash in a pack without a second thought.
The action is about as straightforward as it gets. Drop a round in, close the bolt, then pull the metal cocking knob back when you are ready to fire. Until you do that, the rebounding firing pin stays blocked, which is a nice layer of peace of mind on a design this simple. Every shot is deliberate, and that is the appeal. This is the kind of gun that slows you down and makes you focus on fundamentals, whether you are working steel plates or thinning out pests around the property.
Keystone fits this Hunter model with Williams Fire Sights, pairing a bright fiber optic front with an adjustable rear so you can dial things in for your preferred load. The muzzle comes threaded from the factory, so adding a suppressor or other muzzle device is easy when you want to keep things quiet. And the walnut deserves a mention on its own. In a market full of polymer, the warm wood and blued steel combination gives this one a traditional look that stands out at the bench.
Chambered in .22 WMR, it hits noticeably harder and flatter than a standard .22 LR, which makes it a legitimate small game and varmint option rather than just a plinker. If you appreciate simple mechanics, classic materials, and one well-placed shot at a time, this little single shot earns its spot in the safe.
No, this model is chambered specifically for .22 WMR, also called .22 Magnum. The WMR case is longer and slightly larger in diameter than .22 LR, so the two are not interchangeable in this chamber. Keystone does offer a separate Hunter model chambered in .22 LR if you prefer that round.
After you load a round and close the bolt, the gun still is not ready to fire. You pull the metal cocking knob at the rear of the bolt to cock it, and only then will the trigger drop the firing pin. Combined with the rebounding firing pin safety, it makes every shot a deliberate, two-step process.
Yes, the 9 inch blued steel barrel comes threaded from the factory, and retailer listings for this platform show the common 1/2×28 pattern used by most rimfire suppressors and muzzle devices. Paired with .22 WMR, it makes for a fun and quiet setup with a can attached.
It shines as a lightweight small game and varmint gun, and it doubles as a fun precision plinker at the range. The .22 WMR round runs faster and flatter than .22 LR, giving it more reach and authority on squirrels, rabbits, and pests. At around 2.36 pounds, it is also an easy companion on long walks in the woods.
