The Crickett: America's Premier Youth Rifle
For over two decades, the Keystone Crickett has earned its reputation as the finest introduction to rifle shooting for young marksmen. This is not a scaled-down adult rifle—it is purpose-designed from the ground up for the developing shooter.
Safety First
The Crickett's manual cocking mechanism operates like a revolver's hammer, giving the shooter complete control over the firing sequence. A rebounding firing pin is automatically blocked until the trigger is deliberately pressed, preventing accidental discharge. The 2.5 pound trigger pull is light enough for young fingers to manage cleanly, yet heavy enough to prevent unintended firing.
