The lightweight and affordable Crickett combines excellent build quality, fast handling, a good trigger, a simple battery of arms, excellent peep sights, a good looking and functional stock, and compact size that fits kids perfectly. It Is the perfect training rifle to teach your small shooters responsible and safe gun handling, trigger and sight picture control, and ammunition conservation… all while having fun. Produced by the Keystone Sporting Arms Company in Milton, PA, the gun is backed by a company that has shown superior customer service with its customers. The diminutive Crickett rifle comes in a wide variety stocks, finishes, and even is offered in a full sized adult version, the Model 300 (all models and styles subject to change of course). Shown in the video is the Model 252 Crickett rifle and it has served my family well (”Chipmunk” branded .22 rifles are also very similar). These guns make memorable gifts items for your family members and are affordable heirloom items. Accuracy, durability, and ease of use are all superb. Surprisingly, this is a fun gun to shoot and costs next to nothing to do so. Bolt actuation adds to the fun and simple plunger bolt is effective. There are other single shot rifle options but the Crickett rifle is my favorite and has my highest recommendation. . /////////////Nutnfancy Likeability Scale: 10 of 10

If you conferderates had armed their cavalry with that cricket rifle. The union would be defending itself from a southern? empire!
My little brother doesent have a gun loving father, his dads not anti gun but doesent shoot often so luckily I get to teach him to shoot.
Im lookin in to getting him a 22. this might be a good choice.
Cant? wait till his 7th birthday!

Nova Scotia supports the TNP
I just bought my 7 year old? neice a cricket for Christmas, but I don’t know if I can wait.
I love the? original Crickett. Just well made.
Mr. Mom ? 0_O
ahh the 1022 thats the gun i learned on by my father? and i intend to use the very same gun to teach my kids to shoot someday
I remember learn to shoot with a? Remington single shot shot.
Funest gun I have ever shot.
I first learned to shoot with an? .22 air rifle, because gun laws are really strict in my country. However, I shot with a .22 LR rifle and a Colt .45 auto when I lived in the US.
Crrection to my comment below this one: the? Rouge River Rifle Company.
I have an old very rare Rouge Rifle Company .22 cal single shot, same thing as the cricket because the cricket copied it exactly. The Rouge Rifle Company was formed by two brothers. One of them died, so the one that survived went off to make the cricket. The name of the rifle I have is called the “Chipmunk”. It? was my first gun.
I grew up on a single shot after 4 years i got a bolt action then 3 years later i got a semi ruger 10/22. My father re married? and her son got a bolt action for his first gun and threq a fit becuase he didnt get a semi auto like mine!
a single? shot .22 bolt rifle, its nutnfancy….
i think i might get one of these rifles for my mom to shoot, as well as a neat little bush rifle. it looks like a great little rifle! i will be using iron sights, i don’t need a? scope to hunt. my hunting rifle is a single shot rifle with iron sights.
@themattlyone Get her? a pink one
I so enjoy? your videos.
i started with a one shotmpelet gun open sights and then a cooye .22 12 rounds? bolt which is still open sights
neat little rifle, single shot .22 how cool is that? would make a nice little collectible?
I like bolt action more its just the satisfaction of reloading? a gun manualy and sliding the bolt into place. idk why other than that
the stock of your 10/22 is beautiful nutn
?
@themattlyone i say from personal experience is get? her a bb gun, and if she wants to, that next Christmas get her a 22, and if you want to also teacher her how to shoot a shotgun, think about getting a rossi 22LR/410 combo(it has separate detachable barrels)
I have a dau that will be 8 soon. She has not shot a gun yet. You think it would be better to start with a bb gun? or just start with one of these 22 cricket rifles.
Great Video as usual
