The Davey Crickett Blued Walnut .22 LR Youth Rifle (Davey Crickett part no. KSA2238) pairs a traditional walnut stock with a blued barrel and receiver, giving a young shooter a rifle with classic good looks alongside the same trusted single-shot bolt action that’s introduced generations to real rifle fundamentals. Built in the USA, it’s manually cocked before every shot, and its rebounding firing pin safety keeps the action inert until that step is deliberately taken. The scaled-down length and weight are sized specifically for a young shooter.
