Keystone Crickett G2 .22 LR 16.125″ Blued/Tan KSA2235

The Keystone Sporting Arms Crickett Gen 2 is a compact, single-shot bolt-action .22 LR rifle designed for beginning and youth shooters. It pairs a blued 16.125″ barrel with a lightweight desert tan synthetic stock and basic iron sights for simple, reliable function. For shooters wanting a low-cost optic solution, a compact low-power variable optic such as the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 is a practical choice under $1,000 and complements the Crickett’s short barrel and light weight. This model is drilled and tapped for scope mounts and features safety-focused design elements suitable for training and small-game informal plinking.
