The Crickett CPR My First Rifle is a single-shot .22 LR youth rifle (brand part no. KSA2143) from Davey Crickett, purpose-built to teach new and young shooters the fundamentals on a scaled-down platform. It pairs a 16.13-inch carbon fiber threaded barrel with a Picatinny rail receiver for mounting a scope or red dot, and an adjustable bipod forend helps steady the rifle for younger or smaller shooters. The tan stock with black webbing and a thumbhole design gives a secure, ergonomic grip that is easy for beginners to manage. As a single-shot design, it forces deliberate, safety-conscious loading and firing, making it a popular first rifle for supervised range days and hunter education.
