Keystone Sporting Arms Crickett Walnut .22 WMR Youth Rifle - Brown Finish
Keystone Sporting Arms
The Keystone Sporting Arms Crickett Synthetic .22 WMR is a purpose-built youth rifle designed to introduce young shooters to the fundamentals of marksmanship in a safe, manageable platform. Built in the USA and refined over two decades for beginner shooters, this single-shot bolt-action rifle chambers the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire—a step up in power from standard .22 LR, making it well-suited for small game hunting and recreational target shooting once a young shooter has mastered basic rifle skills. The synthetic stock keeps weight to under 3 pounds and length of pull at 11½ inches, fitting smaller frames comfortably without sacrificing control or accuracy.
Safety is engineered in from the ground up: the rebounding firing pin is automatically blocked to prevent accidental discharge, and every rifle ships with a manual trigger lock for secure storage. The 16.1-inch barrel wears adjustable rear peep and fixed front post sights—traditional iron sights that teach proper sight picture before moving to optics. A scope mounting base is drilled and tapped for future upgrades. At just 30 inches overall length, the Crickett handles like a rifle, not a toy, encouraging proper technique and responsibility from day one.
Every Crickett arrives with scope base, swivel studs, trigger lock, and hearing and eye protection—everything needed to get to the range or field. The manual cocking single-shot design keeps operation simple and ammunition discipline tight, reinforcing deliberate, accurate shooting habits.
