What you get with the Crickett Purple Synthetic 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. The Crickett line carries a lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship from the maker.
The blued barrel has the traditional look. Keep a light coat of oil on it and store it dry.
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. For the technical side, see the SAAMI cartridge drawings or the .22 LR article on Wikipedia.

Fitting the Crickett Purple Synthetic Blued 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 Purple Synthetic Blued 22 LR right for you?
Most buyers pick the Crickett Purple Synthetic Blued 22 LR for one of these reasons:

- Parents buying a first rifle for a child

An adult should always supervise a young shooter. The NSSF firearm safety page has free material for teaching kids the basics.
Setup and care tips
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.
