KSA Crickett Gen2 .22 LR | Black Synthetic | KSA2240

The Keystone Sporting Arms Crickett Gen 2 is a compact, manual-cocking single-shot bolt-action rifle chambered in .22 LR designed for beginning and youth shooters. It pairs a blued metal finish with a black synthetic stock and includes an adjustable rear peep sight and a fixed front sight. The rifle is drilled and tapped to accept Crickett scope mounts and includes swivel studs for sling or accessory attachment. For an optic under $1,000, a reliable choice is the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 (rimfire-capable) which provides useful magnification and durable construction suited to a lightweight youth rifle.
