Inside the Crickett Black Synthetic Stainless 22 LR
Every single shot Crickett works the same way. You open the bolt, drop in one round, close it, then pull the cocking knob back before the rifle will fire. That extra step gives a parent or instructor time to watch each shot.
Length of pull is 12 inches, which suits most young shooters, it weighs about 3 pounds and it comes with iron sights and a receiver drilled and tapped for an optics rail. The Crickett line carries a lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship from the maker.
Stainless steel handles rain and sweaty hands better than bluing. It’s a good choice if this Crickett Black Synthetic Stainless 22 LR will ride in a truck or get used at deer camp.
The .22 LR cartridge
.22 Long Rifle ammo is cheap, easy to find and mild to shoot. It’s the standard for teaching, backyard plinking at a safe range and small game hunting. Wikipedia has a good .22 Long Rifle history, and SAAMI publishes the chamber drawings.

Getting the fit right
A rifle that’s too long is the most common reason kids struggle. With the stock in the shoulder, the child should reach the trigger with the first pad of the finger and keep the elbow bent. Crickett’s short length of pull is what makes that possible for small arms.

Care and storage
After a range day, run a few patches through the bore from the breech end and wipe the metal down. Store the rifle unloaded and locked, with the ammo kept somewhere else. A cable lock through the open action is cheap and works.
