Keystone Crickett KSA2245 | .22 LR Single-Shot | Black Synthetic

The Keystone/Crickett KSA2245 is a compact, youth-oriented single-shot bolt-action rifle chambered in .22 Long Rifle. It pairs a lightweight synthetic stock with a stainless-steel barrel and user-adjustable rear peep sight, making it suitable for new shooters and field use.
