Davey Crickett Blue Synthetic .22 LR Youth Rifle

The Davey Crickett Blue Synthetic .22 LR Youth Rifle (Davey Crickett part no. KSA2302) pairs the Crickett’s proven scaled-down bolt action with a bright blue synthetic stock that stands out in the gun safe. Built in the USA specifically for young or first-time shooters, it’s manually cocked before every shot, adding a deliberate safety step to the learning process, and its rebounding firing pin keeps the action safe at rest. It’s sized to fit smaller shooters properly instead of forcing them into an oversized adult rifle, which makes early range trips far less frustrating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the barrel blued or stainless? This version has a traditional blued steel barrel paired with the blue synthetic stock.

What’s the trigger pull like? It’s a light, youth-appropriate pull designed to be manageable for smaller hands while still requiring deliberate trigger control.

Can this rifle grow with a shooter? It’s built as a dedicated first rifle rather than an adjustable platform, so most families move up to a full-size .22 LR once fundamentals click.
