The Keystone Crickett is America's favorite starter rifle for young shooters. This manual-cocking single-shot features a rebounding firing pin safety, adjustable peep sights, and a light 2.5-3 lb. trigger pull. Includes 4x32 scope, mount, and carry case.
The Keystone Crickett represents a time-honored approach to introducing youth to rifle shooting. This is not a scaled-down adult rifle—it is purpose-built for smaller hands and developing shooters.
The Crickett's manual cocking mechanism works like a revolver's hammer, giving the shooter complete control over the firing sequence. A rebounding firing pin safety automatically blocks the pin to prevent accidental discharge. The trigger pull of 2.5-3 lbs. is deliberate and predictable, teaching proper trigger control from the start.
This complete package arrives ready to shoot:
The Crickett accepts .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle ammunition in standard or high-velocity loads. Generations of young shooters have learned fundamental marksmanship with this rifle. It remains the gold standard for youth shooting sports.
