What you get with the Crickett Brown Laminate Blued 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. One takedown screw under the stock holds the barreled action in, which makes cleaning simple.
The blued barrel has the traditional look. Keep a light coat of oil on it and store it dry.
Why .22 Long Rifle?
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. For the technical side, see the SAAMI cartridge drawings or the .22 LR article on Wikipedia.

Getting the fit right
Fit matters more than looks. Have the child shoulder the rifle with both eyes open. If they can see the sights without craning the neck and reach the trigger comfortably, the stock fits. A short length of pull is the reason these rifles work for kids.
Is the Crickett Brown Laminate Blued 22 LR right for you?
Most buyers pick the Crickett Brown Laminate Blued 22 LR for one of these reasons:
- Adults who want a light trapping or camp gun
- Parents buying a first rifle for a child
- Grandparents who want to start a grandkid shooting
An adult should always supervise a young shooter. The NSSF firearm safety page has free material for teaching kids the basics.
Keeping it in good shape
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.
