Crickett Purple Laminate Stainless 22 LR details
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. One takedown screw under the stock holds the barreled action in, which makes cleaning simple.
With a stainless barrel, the Crickett Purple Laminate Stainless 22 LR is easy to keep clean and holds up to humid weather.
Why .22 Long Rifle?
.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 Purple Laminate 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.
Who the Crickett Purple Laminate Stainless 22 LR is for
Most buyers pick the Crickett Purple Laminate Stainless 22 LR for one of these reasons:

Care and storage
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.
