Keystone Crickett 22 LR Youth Rifle, Pink/Black Laminate

The Crickett: America's Premier Youth Rifle

The Keystone Crickett represents the gold standard in introducing young shooters to rifle marksmanship. This single-shot 22 LR is engineered from the ground up with safety, reliability, and proper shooting fundamentals in mind.

Safety-First Design

Manual Cocking Mechanism: Unlike semi-automatic rifles, the Crickett requires the shooter to manually cock the firing pin before each shot—much like a revolver's hammer. This deliberate action builds safe handling habits and prevents accidental discharge.

Rebounding Firing Pin Safety: The firing pin automatically blocks itself, providing an additional layer of protection against unintended firing.

Light Trigger Pull: At approximately 2.5 pounds, the trigger is responsive yet forgiving for developing shooters learning proper trigger control.

Practical Features for Learning

• EZ Load Feed Ramp: Simplifies ammunition loading, reducing frustration for young hands
• Adjustable Rear Peep Sight: Allows precise sight picture adjustment as the shooter develops
• Fixed Front Sight: Provides a stable aiming reference
• Sling Swivel Studs: Ready for a shooting sling to support proper rifle handling

Ergonomic and Durable

The pink and black laminate stock is both attractive and practical—laminate resists moisture and wear far better than wood. The 11.5-inch length of pull fits youth frames comfortably without requiring adjustment. At just 3 pounds, the rifle is light enough for young shooters to handle confidently.

The blued steel barrel and nickel-plated alloy receiver provide reliable performance and corrosion resistance. Overall length is 30.5 inches—manageable for youth shooters while maintaining proper sight radius.

Made in America, Backed for Life

Crickett rifles are proudly manufactured in the United States and come with a lifetime warranty. This is the rifle recommended by shooting instructors and parents nationwide for teaching the fundamentals of marksmanship.
