Purpose-built youth rifle featuring a 16.1" blued barrel, black synthetic stock with 11.5" length of pull, and adjustable rear peep sight. Manual bolt-action single shot with rebounding firing pin safety and drilled/tapped receiver for scope mounting.
For over two decades, Keystone has manufactured the Crickett rifle specifically for young shooters discovering the shooting sports. This is a rifle designed with intention—built to teach proper fundamentals in a platform scaled appropriately for smaller hands and frames.
The Crickett is a manually-cocking, single-shot bolt-action rifle. This deliberate design encourages safe handling practices: each shot requires conscious, controlled action. The rebounding firing pin is automatically blocked to prevent accidental discharge—a critical safety feature for any youth firearm.
The Crickett teaches respect for firearms, marksmanship fundamentals, and safe handling in a package appropriately scaled for young shooters. It remains the choice of parents and instructors who understand that proper training begins with proper equipment.
