If your young shooter wants a rifle in their own color, the Crickett My First Rifle with a purple synthetic stock and blued barrel is the model to look at (brand part no. KSA2306). It is chambered in .22 LR and runs as a manual-cocking, single-shot bolt action, built in the USA by Keystone Sporting Arms. The rifle pairs a 16.1-inch barrel with a peep rear sight and fixed front post, and the rebounding firing pin is automatically blocked to prevent accidental discharge. This Davey Crickett youth rifle gives a beginner a straightforward platform for learning safe handling and basic marksmanship.
