Crickett KSA2157 .22 WMR 16.12" 1-Round FDE Rifle

The Crickett KSA2157 .22 WMR 16.12" 1-Round FDE Rifle is purpose-built for shooters seeking a compact, lightweight platform for small-game hunting, precision marksmanship training, and youth firearm instruction. Chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, this rifle delivers adequate velocity and energy for varmint control and target work while maintaining mild recoil and low noise signature—critical attributes for training scenarios and hunting applications where follow-up shots and sight picture maintenance are priorities. The flat dark earth (FDE) finish provides contemporary aesthetics and practical camouflage in transitional terrain.

At 6.2 pounds with a 16.12-inch barrel and compact overall profile of 34.8 inches, the Crickett delivers maneuverability without sacrificing sight radius or ergonomic control. The single-round capacity reinforces deliberate fire discipline and ammunition awareness—essential for precision shooting and instructional environments where one-shot accuracy is non-negotiable. .22 WMR ammunition offers superior ballistic performance compared to standard .22 Long Rifle, with flatter trajectory and retained energy at extended ranges, making this rifle suitable for small-game at moderate distances while remaining controllable for less experienced shooters.

This rifle benefits hunters, competitive shooters, and instructors who prioritize accuracy and minimal recoil over magazine capacity. Law enforcement and military personnel often select .22 WMR platforms for marksmanship fundamentals training and low-report field work. Compatibility with standard .22 WMR ammunition ensures widespread availability and cost-effective practice. The compact form factor and light handling characteristics make it ideal for transportable training systems and hunters operating in dense brush or from elevated positions where weight and bulk management directly impact sustained accuracy and field endurance.
