Keystone Sporting Arms Crickett/722 .22LR Youth Rifle - Brown
Keystone Sporting Arms
The Keystone Sporting Arms Standard Chipmunk .22LR youth rifle in brown is purpose-built for young shooters stepping into firearms handling with confidence. This single-shot .22LR rifle combines a lightweight design—just 2.6 lbs—with the ergonomic proportions of a true youth rifle, making it an ideal first gun for kids learning marksmanship fundamentals. The Chipmunk's reputation rests on clean, honest engineering: a left-hand bolt action, American walnut furniture, and sights that let new shooters focus on the basics without unnecessary complexity.
Built on Keystone's Generation 2 platform, this rifle incorporates practical improvements for young handlers. The EZ Load feed ramp smooths magazine feeding during practice, while the included trigger lock adds an essential layer of safety when the rifle isn't in active use. A fixed front sight and adjustable rear peep sight combination lets you dial in groups at distance, and the approximately 3-pound trigger pull is manageable for developing proper technique. The 16.125-inch blued barrel keeps the overall package compact and pointable for smaller frames.
The 11.625-inch length of pull is designed specifically for youth dimensions, so young shooters can mount and control the rifle naturally. In brown, this Chipmunk carries classic sporting aesthetics without flash or fuss—it's a working rifle that won't distract from the job of learning to shoot straight. Whether you're introducing a child to .22 rifle discipline or setting up a beginner-friendly platform for a smaller-framed shooter, this Keystone delivers reliable, uncluttered performance.

Yes. The youth-specific length of pull (11.625 inches) and lightweight 2.6-pound frame make it well-suited for smaller shooters developing fundamentals. The single-shot action encourages deliberate, disciplined trigger work without the complexity of a semi-automatic platform.
The rifle comes with a trigger lock for safe storage and installed studs for mounting eye and ear protection—everything you need to start shooting responsibly right out of the box.
The rear peep sight is adjustable for windage and elevation, allowing you to dial in your point of aim. The front sight is fixed, so precise sight adjustment happens at the rear.
.22LR ammunition is low-cost, low-recoil, and widely available—ideal for extended practice sessions where a young shooter can build confidence and technique without fatigue or flinch development.
