Keystone Crickett Gen2 | .22 LR | 16.1 in

The Keystone Crickett Gen2 is a compact, bolt-action youth sporting rifle chambered in .22 Long Rifle. It features a hydro-dipped Desert Storm synthetic stock, a blued barrel and an industry-proven manual cocking mechanism designed to encourage deliberate, safe handling. The receiver is drilled and tapped for optics; a modest, reliable optic such as the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 pairs well for training and small-bore work without exceeding practical budgets. Typical uses include youth marksmanship instruction and small-bore target or rimfire range practice.

Compact and deliberately simple, the Crickett Gen2 is built to teach safe handling and fundamentals. Its single-shot bolt action and visible cocking procedure slow the user’s cadence for deliberate practice, while the drilled-and-tapped receiver and included swivel studs make it easy to add optics and carry equipment appropriate for supervised training and range work. The hydro-dipped Desert Storm finish offers a durable, low-maintenance appearance suited to outdoor instruction and youth programs.
