The Davey Crickett Purple Laminate .22 LR Youth Rifle (Davey Crickett part no. KSA2228) finishes a stainless steel barrel in a durable purple laminate stock, giving a young shooter a rifle that’s both tough and eye-catching, built on the same trusted single-shot action that’s introduced generations of new shooters to real fundamentals. Manufactured in the USA, it’s manually cocked before every shot, with fixed front and adjustable rear sights for genuine zeroing practice, plus a rebounding firing pin safety that keeps it inert at rest. The 11.5-inch length of pull is scaled for a smaller shooter.
