Keystone Crickett G2 .22 LR Mossy Oak | KSA2166

The Keystone (KSA) Crickett Gen 2 is a compact, single-shot bolt-action .22 LR rifle built for youth shooters and compact sporting use. It pairs a Mossy Oak Break-Up synthetic stock with stainless metal and a simple, rebounding firing-pin safety for straightforward, low-weight handling. Typical uses include youth marksmanship training and small-game hunting or range plinking. A rimfire scope such as a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 (priced well under $1000) is a suitable optic to mount on the drilled and tapped receiver for improved sighting.
