Keystone Crickett KSA3168 | .22 LR | 16.12in

The Keystone Crickett KSA3168 is a single-shot, manually cocking bolt-action .22 LR rifle intended for new and youth shooters. It pairs a stainless-steel barrel with an Amendment-style synthetic stock and adjustable peep sights for straightforward, low-maintenance use. Its safety design emphasizes a rebounding firing pin and a manual cocking mechanism to reduce the chance of accidental discharge. For an optic under $1,000 that matches the rifle’s intended use, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 or an equivalent low- to mid-power scope for basic range work and small-game applications.

Recommended uses: youth marksmanship training and introductory small-game hunting.
