The Crickett My First Rifle .22 LR in walnut and stainless is the classic-looking version of Davey Crickett‘s youth single-shot, with a wood stock instead of synthetic (brand part no. KSA3238). It is a manually cocking bolt-action rifle with a stainless-steel barrel, a rebounding firing pin that is automatically blocked to prevent accidental discharge, and an adjustable rear peep sight over a fixed front post. The 11 1/2-inch length of pull and light weight suit a beginning shooter. It is a good fit for a family that wants a first rifle with a traditional look that can be handed down.
