KEYSTONE SPORTING ARMS CRICKETT 22LR BL/PINK

Youth shooters and small-frame hunters often need a rifle scaled to their size and strength. The Crickett .22 LR delivers exactly that—a lightweight single-shot platform built for young marksmen learning fundamentals. Whether you're in San Jose or anywhere across the South Bay, understanding your options starts with knowing California firearm laws and what applies to youth-oriented rifles.

Single-shot simplicity for new shooters

The bolt-action Crickett strips complexity away. No magazine, no rapid cycling—just one round at a time, forcing discipline and shot discipline at the range. At 32 inches overall and weighing 3.6 pounds, it fits smaller hands and lighter frames without sacrificing reliability. Open sights keep focus on fundamentals. Before bringing any rifle home, review our California gun-buyer FAQ to understand DROS timing, background checks, and what documentation you'll need as a first-time buyer.
