The Crickett My First Rifle in .22 LR with a blue synthetic stock and a blued barrel (brand part no. KSA2302) is a manual-cocking, single-shot bolt-action youth rifle. Keystone Sporting Arms builds it in the USA for beginning shooters, and this Davey Crickett model has been aimed at that job for more than 20 years. Loading one round at a time keeps range sessions slow and deliberate, and the rebounding firing pin is automatically blocked to prevent accidental discharge. A peep rear sight and fixed front post give a new shooter a clean, simple sight picture, which makes it a sensible first rifle for the range or the backyard.
