Description
The Crickett KSA2228 is a purpose-built youth rimfire rifle chambered in 22 LR, designed to introduce young shooters to bolt-action marksmanship in a compact, easy-handling package. Built around a single-shot bolt action, this rifle pairs a 16.12″ stainless steel barrel with a matching stainless steel receiver for corrosion-resistant performance that stands up to years of use.
The rifle wears a distinctive purple laminate stock with a fixed configuration and an 11.5″ length of pull, sized specifically for smaller-framed shooters. Built for right-hand shooters, the stock complements the stainless metal finish for a clean, modern look. At just 3 lbs and an overall length of 30″, the KSA2228 is light and compact enough for younger or smaller-statured shooters to shoulder, maneuver, and shoot comfortably.
Sighting is handled by a fixed front blade paired with an adjustable rear peep sight, giving young shooters a clear sight picture while learning the fundamentals of aimed fire. The action features a single-stage trigger and a rebounding firing pin safety, meaning the firing pin automatically returns to a safe, decocked position after firing – an important safety feature for a rifle aimed at new shooters.
Chambered for the ubiquitous and inexpensive .22 Long Rifle cartridge and fed as a true 1-round single shot, the KSA2228 keeps operation simple – load, bolt, aim, fire. With its stainless steel barrel and receiver, purple laminate stock, compact dimensions, and youth-focused ergonomics, this Crickett is a reliable training and recreational plinker ready for hunting and target shooting.
