What you get with the Crickett Desert Tan Stainless 22 LR
The action is a manually cocking single shot bolt made from alloy nickel plated steel, and the firing pin rebounds so it’s blocked unless the rifle is cocked. One shot at a time is the point: a new shooter slows down and thinks about each one.
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 Desert Tan 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.

Sizing the Crickett Desert Tan Stainless 22 LR
Check fit at home first. The butt should sit in the pocket of the shoulder, the cheek should rest on the stock and the trigger finger should reach without stretching. If the rifle is a little long, the shooter will lean back, and that’s when accuracy falls apart.
Is the Crickett Desert Tan Stainless 22 LR right for you?
The Crickett Desert Tan Stainless 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
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
Rimfire ammo is dirty, so clean the bore every few hundred rounds and wipe the bolt face. Store the rifle unloaded in a case or safe. Teach the shooter to check the chamber every time they pick it up.
