Product Overview

The Keystone Sporting Arms Crickett/722 .22 LR youth rifle is a bolt-action rimfire built from the ground up for young shooters learning the fundamentals of marksmanship and hunting. This is a purpose-built training rifle—not a scaled-down adult gun—with proportions and ergonomics matched to smaller frames. The walnut stock and blued finish deliver classic rifle aesthetics while keeping weight and recoil minimal enough for kids to shoot comfortably all day. A 20-inch barrel balances handling with velocity, and the 1:16 twist rate is optimized for standard .22 Long Rifle ammunition, the most forgiving and affordable way to build good habits.

The bolt-action design teaches correct shooting mechanics: load, aim, fire, unload. There's no semi-auto distraction, no magazine fumbling—just deliberate practice. The 7-round capacity keeps sessions focused without constant reloading. Whether you're introducing a young hunter to firearm safety in the field, setting up for rimfire competition, or running a marksmanship program, the Crickett/722 stays out of the way and lets fundamentals do the work.

At 37 inches overall and chambered in .22 LR, this rifle handles like a .22 should: fast to aim, gentle on the shoulder, and forgiving of less-than-perfect technique. It's the rifle that turns a curious kid into a confident shooter.
