The Keystone Crickett: America's First Rifle

For over two decades, the Keystone Crickett has introduced countless young shooters to the fundamentals of marksmanship. This purpose-built youth rifle combines proven design with modern safety features to create an ideal platform for learning proper shooting technique.

Design and Operation

The Crickett is a manual-cocking, single-shot bolt-action rifle chambered in .22 LR—the ideal cartridge for developing shooters. Its straightforward operation teaches the essential mechanics of rifle handling without overwhelming complexity. Each shot requires deliberate action, reinforcing safe gun handling practices from the very first round.
