Crickett Chipmunk Left Hand 22 LR features
The Chipmunk is a single shot bolt action, which many instructors prefer for teaching. The bolt must be opened, a round inserted, the bolt closed and the action cocked by hand before every shot.
This is a left hand Chipmunk with an American walnut stock and a Picatinny optics rail, which is hard to find in a youth rifle.
The blued barrel has the traditional look. Keep a light coat of oil on it and store it dry.
.22 LR in the Crickett Chipmunk Left Hand 22 LR
A .22 LR costs a few cents per round and barely moves the rifle when it fires. Kids can shoot a whole box without flinching, and it’s plenty for small game and tin cans. For the technical side, see the SAAMI cartridge drawings or the .22 LR article on Wikipedia.

Fitting the Crickett Chipmunk Left Hand 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 Chipmunk Left Hand 22 LR is for
The Crickett Chipmunk Left Hand 22 LR is a good fit for:
- 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
Teach the basic safety rules before the first range trip. The NSSF safety guides are a good place to start.
Keeping it in good shape
Cleaning is easy. Remove the one takedown screw under the stock, lift out the barreled action, run a cleaning rod from the breech and wipe everything with a light oil. Store it unloaded with the bolt open or removed.
