Purpose-built for young shooters, the Crickett .22 LR features a manual cocking bolt action, adjustable peep sights, and a 2.5 lb trigger pull. Stainless barrel, Mossy Oak Break-Up stock, made in USA with lifetime warranty.
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.
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.
Specifications:
The EZ Load feed ramp simplifies ammunition loading for small hands. Sling swivel studs allow attachment of a shooting sling for stability and carry. The stainless steel barrel resists corrosion—important for rifles that may see outdoor use.
Every Crickett is manufactured in the United States. Keystone backs each rifle with a lifetime warranty, reflecting confidence in its construction and durability.
The Crickett teaches fundamental marksmanship: trigger control, sight alignment, and breathing. It is the rifle that has introduced countless young Americans to the shooting sports.
