There's a certain charm to a pistol that does exactly one thing and does it well. The Chipmunk Hunter Pistol from Keystone Sporting Arms is a manually cocking, single-shot bolt-action chambered in .22 WMR, and it earns its place in any rimfire lineup. It's lightweight, accurate, and straightforward to operate. The 10.5" fluted bull barrel in blued steel gives it a clean, classic look while adding barrel mass that helps tame what little muzzle movement there is. The American walnut stock looks sharp, feels solid in hand, and carries well in the field.
Out of the box, the Chipmunk Hunter Pistol ships with Williams Fire Sights, an adjustable rear paired with a fiber optic front. These are quality irons that work well in a variety of lighting conditions and give you a clear, fast sight picture. If you want to run a magnified optic or a red dot, the receiver is drilled and tapped to accept a scope base, so that path is open whenever you're ready for it. Plenty of owners go the optics route and see a real improvement in their groups at distance.
The action is about as simple as it gets. You manually cock the pistol by pulling back the rear bolt knob, drop a round in, close the bolt, and you're ready to fire. The rebounding firing pin design acts as a passive safety, automatically blocking the pin to prevent an unintended discharge when the trigger isn't being pulled. The bolt operates on the left side of the receiver, which makes sense ergonomically for a right-handed shooter who wants to keep their firing hand on the grip. Trigger pull on these runs approximately 3 lbs, which is manageable and gets the job done.
Keystone backs the Chipmunk Hunter Pistol with a lifetime limited warranty and manufactures it at their facility in Milton, Pennsylvania. At 2.2 lbs and 17.5" overall, it's a genuinely compact package that travels light. Whether you're running a trapline, picking off pests at the farm, or just having fun at the range with a unique rimfire pistol, this one covers the bases without any extra weight or complexity to slow you down.
Trigger pull on the Chipmunk Hunter Pistol is listed at approximately 3 lbs from the factory. It has a fairly straightforward feel given the simple manual-cocking bolt action design. Some owners choose to have a gunsmith smooth it up over time, which can clean it up nicely.
Yes, the receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope base, so mounting a pistol scope, red dot, or other optic is straightforward with the right base and rings. A lot of owners go this route to get the most out of the .22 WMR cartridge at longer distances. The Williams Fire Sights are ready to go out of the box if you prefer to keep it iron-sighted.
The Chipmunk Hunter Pistol in .22 WMR is well suited for small game and varmint work. The .22 Magnum cartridge gives you noticeably more energy and reach than .22 LR, making it a solid choice for squirrels, rabbits, and similar targets at reasonable handgun distances. The 10.5" fluted bull barrel helps with stability, and with the drilled-and-tapped receiver you can add optics if you need more precision at distance.
This is intentional and actually works well in practice. With your right hand gripping the pistol, you operate the bolt with your left hand, which keeps your firing hand in place the whole time. It speeds up the reload process and keeps the gun properly oriented without having to switch hands between shots.
The .22 WMR version, like this one, is chambered for the longer, more powerful .22 Magnum cartridge and cannot fire .22 LR ammunition. The .22 LR version can actually chamber .22 Short and .22 Long as well, which makes it more versatile for casual plinking. The .22 WMR offers more velocity and energy, making it a better fit if small game or varmint hunting is the primary goal.
Yes, Keystone Sporting Arms backs the Chipmunk Hunter Pistol with a lifetime limited warranty. You'll want to register the firearm with Keystone Sporting Arms within 10 days of purchase to ensure your warranty coverage is on file. Manufacturing is done at their facility in Milton, Pennsylvania.
