Purpose-built for young shooters, the Crickett features a manual-cocking single-shot design, adjustable peep sights, EZ Load feed ramp, and a 2.5-lb trigger pull. Stainless steel barrel, synthetic stock, weighs under 3 lbs. Made in USA with lifetime warranty.
For over two decades, the Keystone Crickett has earned its reputation as the finest first rifle for young shooters. This is not a scaled-down adult rifle—it is purpose-designed from the ground up for the beginner.
The Crickett's manual-cocking mechanism operates like a revolver's hammer, giving the young shooter direct control and immediate feedback. The rebounding firing pin is automatically blocked to prevent accidental discharge, and the 2.5-pound trigger pull is crisp and predictable. These features combine to create an inherently safe platform for learning proper shooting fundamentals.
With an 11.5-inch length of pull and an overall length of 30.5 inches, the Crickett fits the shooter rather than forcing the shooter to fit the rifle. At under 3 pounds, it is light enough for extended practice without fatigue. The black synthetic stock is durable and requires minimal maintenance.
Manufactured in the USA, the Crickett is backed by a lifetime warranty. It is the rifle that teaches proper technique, builds confidence, and creates lifelong shooters.
