There is a reason so many people can point to a Crickett when asked what they learned to shoot on. Keystone Sporting Arms has built its whole reputation around getting the details right for small-framed beginners, and this purple stocked .22 LR is a perfect example. At around 3 pounds with a 30 inch overall length and an 11.5 inch length of pull, it fits a kid the way a full size rifle never will. No stretching for the trigger, no wrestling with weight, just a rifle that actually matches the person holding it.
The design is where this little rifle earns its keep. It is a single shot bolt action that must be manually cocked before each shot, which means loading and firing are two separate, deliberate steps a parent can supervise. The rebounding firing pin is automatically blocked to help prevent an accidental discharge, and the one-at-a-time capacity naturally slows things down so every trigger press is a thought-out decision. That pace is exactly what you want when you are teaching fundamentals like sight alignment, breathing, and muzzle discipline.
This is the Generation 2 version, which adds the EZ Load feed ramp for easier chambering with small fingers, plus factory installed swivel studs so you can add a sling down the road. The adjustable rear peep sight paired with a fixed front post teaches proper iron sight shooting from day one, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped for Crickett scope mounts when your young shooter is ready to stretch their range. It happily digests .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle ammo, so quiet, low-recoil loads for the first sessions are an easy option.
The blued barrel and tough synthetic stock shrug off the dings and dirt that come with real range trips, and Keystone backs it with a lifetime warranty. Made in the USA in central Pennsylvania, this is the kind of rifle that gets handed down once the first owner outgrows it. For a lot of families, that first Crickett becomes the start of a tradition.
With an 11.5 inch length of pull and a weight of about 3 pounds, it fits most kids from roughly 5 to 12 years old, depending on their build. There is no set age though. The real test is whether the child can shoulder it comfortably and reach the trigger naturally, and this rifle is scaled to make that happen years before a full size .22 would fit.
After a round is chambered and the bolt is closed, the rifle will not fire until the cocking knob at the rear of the bolt is pulled back. That extra deliberate step slows the process down and gives the supervising adult a clear checkpoint before every shot. Combined with the rebounding firing pin that stays blocked until the trigger is pulled, it is one of the most beginner-friendly setups out there.
Yes. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory to accept Crickett scope mounts, which are sold separately. Most families start with the adjustable peep sight to build iron sight fundamentals, then add a compact rimfire scope once the shooter is ready for longer targets.
It is chambered to handle .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle in standard or high velocity loads. That flexibility is handy for new shooters, since you can start with quiet, soft-shooting .22 Short or standard velocity LR and work up from there. The Gen 2 EZ Load feed ramp also makes single loading easier for small hands.
