What you get with the Crickett Blue Synthetic Blued 22 LR
It’s a single shot bolt action that has to be cocked by hand after the bolt closes. The rebounding firing pin stays blocked until then. For a first rifle, that slow loading routine is a feature, since it builds the habit of treating every shot on purpose.
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. Synthetic stock models are drilled for sling swivel screws, so you can add a sling for carrying.
The blued barrel has the traditional look. Keep a light coat of oil on it and store it dry.
.22 LR in the Crickett Blue Synthetic Blued 22 LR
The .22 Long Rifle is the cheapest and quietest common cartridge, with almost no recoil. That’s why most people learn to shoot with one. It’s also good for squirrels, rabbits and plinking out to about 75 yards. Wikipedia has a good .22 Long Rifle history, and SAAMI publishes the chamber drawings.

Fitting the Crickett Blue Synthetic Blued 22 LR
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.
Who the Crickett Blue Synthetic Blued 22 LR is for
The Crickett Blue Synthetic Blued 22 LR is a good fit for:
- Grandparents who want to start a grandkid shooting
- Youth programs and 4-H shooting clubs
- Adults who want a light trapping or camp gun
Supervise young shooters every time. The National Shooting Sports Foundation has a helpful safety resource page for families.
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.
