Keystone Sporting Arms Crickett .22LR Rifle, Hydrodipped Synthetic Stock, Mossy Oak Break-Up - KSA2166
Keystone Sporting Arms
The Keystone Sporting Arms Crickett .22 WMR rifle is purpose-built for young shooters and small-game hunters learning the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship. This single-shot bolt-action rifle chambers the zippy .22 WMR cartridge, delivering more velocity and energy than standard .22 LR while remaining manageable for developing shooters. The Mossy Oak Break-Up synthetic stock offers durability and weather resistance without the weight—at just 3 pounds, it's genuinely easy for smaller hands and frames to handle all day in the field.
The manually cocking single-shot action forces discipline and builds solid shooting habits. There's no rushing; every shot demands focus. The trigger breaks cleanly at approximately 2.5–3 pounds, and the rebounding firing pin safety automatically blocks the pin to guard against accidental discharge. The 16.125-inch barrel keeps the overall length compact at just 30 inches, making this rifle equally at home in tight hunting blinds or at the range. An 11.5-inch length of pull fits youth and smaller-framed adults without sacrifice.
Sights are practical and adjustable: a rear peep sight for precision and a fixed front sight ready to work out of the box. The receiver is already drilled and tapped for Crickett scope mounts, so adding optics is straightforward when you're ready to dial in longer shots. Whether you're introducing a young hunter to centerfire rifles, setting up a small-game rig, or looking for a lightweight, no-nonsense plinker, the Crickett .22 WMR delivers honest, dependable performance.

Yes. The lightweight design, compact length of pull, and single-shot action make it ideal for young shooters and beginners learning solid fundamentals. The .22 WMR delivers more power than standard .22 LR while remaining manageable in recoil and noise.
Absolutely. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Crickett scope mounts, so you can easily install an optic when you're ready. The iron sights (adjustable rear peep and fixed front) work great for starting out.
The length of pull is 11.5 inches, which is designed primarily for youth and smaller-framed shooters. Adults with shorter reach or younger hunters will find it comfortable; larger-framed adults may prefer a full-size rifle.
The rifle ships with the synthetic Mossy Oak Break-Up stock, adjustable rear peep sight, and fixed front sight. It is ready to shoot out of the box (you'll need to supply ammunition and may choose to add a scope).
