There is a reason so many people learned to shoot on a Crickett. Keystone has been building these little single-shots in Pennsylvania since 1996, and the formula still works: one round, a manual cocking bolt action, and a rifle scaled down to fit a kid instead of forcing a kid to fit the rifle. This G2 version wears the Amendment stock, a synthetic hydro-dipped finish covered in American flag styling that stands out on the rack and holds up to being dragged around the farm a lot better than wood.
The heart of this rifle is the manual cocking system. After you load a round and close the bolt, nothing happens until the shooter deliberately pulls the cocking knob at the rear of the bolt. The rebounding firing pin stays blocked before and after every shot, which gives parents and instructors an extra layer of control while teaching the fundamentals. The G2 generation also picked up some genuinely useful upgrades over the original, including an EZ Load feed ramp that makes dropping a .22 LR round into the chamber much easier for small fingers, plus factory-installed swivel studs so you can add a sling right away.
The 16.125 inch blued barrel is paired with a fixed front sight and an adjustable rear peep, a great setup for teaching proper sight alignment from day one. When the kid is ready to stretch things out, the receiver is drilled and tapped for Crickett scope mounts. The 11.5 inch length of pull is the real difference maker here, sized for young or smaller-framed shooters who would be swimming in a full-size stock. Trigger pull runs in the neighborhood of 2.5 to 3 pounds, light enough that new shooters are not yanking the rifle off target.
Plenty of these get handed down, and that says a lot. Whether it is plinking cans, first squirrel hunts, or structured range time, the Crickett G2 Amendment is a simple, safe, American-made way to start someone in the shooting sports.
With an 11.5 inch length of pull and a weight around 3 pounds, the Crickett G2 fits most kids from roughly age 5 or 6 up through the early teens, depending on their size. Adults can shoot it fine too, it just feels compact. Adult supervision is the key ingredient at any age, and the manual cocking design makes supervised teaching much easier.
Loading a round and closing the bolt does not make the rifle ready to fire. The shooter has to deliberately pull the cocking knob at the rear of the bolt before each shot, and the rebounding firing pin stays blocked before and after firing. That gives an instructor a clear, visible checkpoint between loading and shooting.
Yes, the receiver comes drilled and tapped for Crickett scope mounts, so adding a small rimfire scope down the road is simple. Out of the box it runs a fixed front sight with an adjustable rear peep, which is a great setup for teaching sight alignment before moving to glass.
The Generation 2 rifles add an EZ Load feed ramp that guides the .22 LR round into the chamber, which is a big help for small hands, plus swivel studs installed from the factory for sling attachment. Both generations share the polymer cocking knob and the same proven manual cocking single-shot action.
