Crickett Youth Crick KSA2221 .22LR Stainless Barrel 16.12" 1-Round Pink Rifle

The Crickett Youth KSA2221 .22LR rifle is a single-shot rimfire built from the ground up for young shooters learning the fundamentals. This stainless-barrel youth rifle combines proven safety features with an ergonomic design that grows with the shooter—making it an ideal starter rifle for kids entering hunting, sport shooting, or marksmanship training. The manual cocking knob and single-shot action enforce deliberate, controlled shooting habits, while the rebounding firing pin safety automatically blocks the pin to prevent unintended discharge.

At just 3 pounds and 30 inches overall with an 11.5-inch length of pull, the KSA2221 is proportioned for smaller frames. The adjustable rear peep sight and fixed front sight give young shooters a classic aiming system, and the rifle is drilled and tapped to accept Crickett scope mounts if optical sights are preferred as skills develop. The synthetic stock with hydro-dipped finish is durable enough to handle youth use without babying, and the EZ Load feed ramp makes chambering rounds smooth and intuitive.

Safety is woven into every function. The Y.S.P. (Youth Safe Trigger Pull) designates a 5-pound-or-greater pull—heavy enough to teach trigger discipline without creating frustration. The rifle is on safe before and after every shot, and unloading follows the same logic as letting down the hammer on a revolver, so kids grasp the motion intuitively. Made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty, the Crickett is the choice of instructors and families who take youth marksmanship seriously.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Crickett safe for youth shooters?

The Y.S.P. (Youth Safe Trigger Pull) is a 5-pound-or-greater trigger designed to teach discipline without frustration. The manual cocking knob adds an intentional step before each shot, slowing down the firing process. The rebounding firing pin is automatically blocked to prevent accidental discharge, and the rifle is on safe before and after every shot—making it nearly impossible to fire unintentionally.

Can I adjust the rifle as my child grows?

The KSA2221 has an 11.5-inch length of pull, sized for youth. Crickett offers length-of-pull spacer kits separately to adjust the stock as the shooter grows, allowing the rifle to fit properly over several years of use.

What's included with the rifle?

The Generation 2 model includes an EZ Load feed ramp to simplify chambering and swivel stud screws. The adjustable rear peep sight and fixed front sight are standard. Scope mounts are sold separately, though the receiver is drilled and tapped to accept Crickett scope mounts.

What caliber does it shoot?

The KSA2221 is chambered in .22 LR (.22 Long Rifle) and also safely handles .22 Short and .22 Long ammunition in both standard and high-velocity loads.
