There is a reason the Crickett has been the go-to first rifle for over two decades. Keystone Sporting Arms builds these little bolt guns in Pennsylvania specifically for beginners, and everything about the design reflects that. The action is a manual-cocking single shot, meaning the rifle only fires after the knob at the rear of the bolt is deliberately pulled back. Load one round, close the bolt, cock it, take the shot. That one-round-at-a-time pace keeps a new shooter focused on the fundamentals instead of racing through a magazine, and it gives whoever is coaching plenty of time to talk through each shot.
This version wears the Muddy Girl Serenity camo, a synthetic stock finished in soft purples and teals that has become a favorite for young shooters who want something with a little personality. The 16.1 inch blued barrel keeps the whole rifle around 30 inches overall and under 3 pounds, with an 11.5 inch length of pull sized for smaller frames. As a Gen 2 Crickett, it also gets the EZ Loader feed ramp, which makes dropping a round into the chamber noticeably easier for small hands, plus installed swivel studs if you want to add a sling later. The rebounding firing pin automatically blocks the pin unless the rifle has been intentionally cocked, which adds a solid extra layer of protection.
Because this is the full package, you get a 4×32 scope with an aluminum base along with a matching soft rifle case. The rifle also has a fixed front post and adjustable rear peep sight, so there is a great opportunity to teach iron sight fundamentals before moving to glass. It handles 22 Short, 22 Long, and 22 LR, so quiet, low-recoil practice ammo is on the table too. Keystone backs it with a lifetime warranty, and these rifles have a habit of getting handed down from one kid to the next. If you are looking to start a new shooter off the right way, this is a proven place to begin.
That is exactly what it was built for. The manual-cocking single shot action means the rifle cannot fire until the bolt knob is deliberately cocked, and the one-shot-at-a-time design keeps new shooters slowed down and focused. The 11.5 inch length of pull and sub-3-pound weight are sized for small frames, not scaled-down adults.
Yes, this package includes a 4×32 scope along with an aluminum base for mounting it. The rifle also has a fixed front post and adjustable rear peep sight, so you can start with irons and move to the scope whenever the shooter is ready. A matching soft rifle case rounds out the kit.
It chambers 22 Short, 22 Long, and 22 LR interchangeably since it is a single shot with no magazine to feed. That flexibility is handy for training, because quiet low-velocity 22 Shorts make a great starting point before working up to standard 22 LR. Just load one round at a time directly into the chamber.
Yes, this is a Generation 2 Crickett, which includes the EZ Loader feed ramp to make chambering a round much easier for smaller hands. Gen 2 models also come with swivel studs already installed, so adding a sling down the road is simple.
