The Crickett My First Rifle .22 S/L/LR with a blue synthetic stock is a single-shot, bolt-action youth rifle from Davey Crickett, built to start a beginning shooter on the right habits (brand part no. KSA302). It is manually cocked, so the shooter handles every step of the firing sequence, and the rebounding firing pin is automatically blocked to prevent accidental discharge. A blued 16.1-inch barrel pairs with an adjustable rear peep sight and a fixed front post, a sight picture that teaches fundamentals. At under three pounds with an 11 1/2-inch length of pull, it fits smaller shooters without feeling like a toy. Crickett rifles are manufactured in the USA and carry a lifetime warranty.
