The Davey Crickett Blue Laminate .22 LR Youth Rifle (Davey Crickett part no. KSA2222) trades the usual synthetic stock for a laminated wood stock finished in blue, giving a young shooter a more traditional look with the added rigidity laminate construction offers over solid wood. It’s built in the USA on the same manually cocked, single-shot bolt-action platform that’s taught fundamentals to generations of new shooters, with a rebounding firing pin safety that keeps the action inert until it’s deliberately cocked. The scaled-down length and light weight fit a smaller shooter properly.
