The Keystone Crickett is how generations of kids have safely learned to shoot: a genuinely child-sized, single-shot .22 LR bolt action that must be manually cocked before each shot, keeping every round a deliberate decision. This model pairs a blued 16.12 inch barrel with a tan synthetic stock accented in black webbing — tough enough for a kid to actually use. At around three and a half pounds, it fits small shooters properly, and the one-shot-at-a-time discipline builds marksmanship fundamentals the right way. A first rifle done correctly.
