Keystone Sporting Arms Crickett Precision .22LR Youth Rifle - Black Finish
Keystone Sporting Arms
The Keystone Sporting Arms Crickett Youth .22LR bolt-action rifle is purpose-built for young shooters just getting serious about marksmanship. At 3 pounds with an 11.5-inch length of pull, this single-shot rimfire fits smaller frames without sacrificing the fundamentals of good shooting—a rigid bolt action, a clean trigger break, and sights you can actually adjust. The .22 LR cartridge is forgiving on recoil and ammo costs while being powerful enough to teach real rifle skills. Whether your kid is heading to 4-H, joining a youth shooting league, or learning rifle basics in the backyard, the Crickett delivers the simplicity and reliability that makes instruction stick.
The rifle's 16.125-inch blued barrel keeps things handy, and the green and black laminate stock handles the knocks that come with learning. Fixed front sight and adjustable rear peep sight mean you can dial in your zero without buying extra optics—this is iron-sight marksmanship, the way it should be taught. The single-shot design removes distractions and reinforces trigger discipline and follow-through. A 3-pound trigger pull is light enough to break clean, heavy enough to be safe in young hands.
Setup is straightforward: the rifle ships with the EZ Load Feed Ramp and swivel stud screws, so you're ready to shoot. No complicated takedown, no aftermarket essentials. Just a rifle that lets your young shooter focus on the fundamentals—sight picture, breathing, trigger control—without fighting the gun.
