Crickett KSA2172BSC 22 S/L/LR 16.1" Single Shot 4x32 Scope included Rifle

The Crickett KSA2172BSC 22 S/L/LR 16.1" Single Shot 4x32 Scope Included Rifle is purpose-built as an entry-level training platform for young shooters and first-time rifle operators. Weighing just 5.4 pounds with compact overall dimensions of 37.5 inches, this rifle delivers low recoil and minimal muzzle rise—critical attributes for shooters developing fundamental marksmanship skills. The single-shot design reinforces trigger control, sight alignment, and breathing discipline without the distraction of rapid follow-up capability, making it an ideal choice for supervised range instruction and youth firearm safety courses.

Chambered in .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle, the Crickett accepts standard rimfire ammunition across three common cartridge lengths, offering operational flexibility and cost-effective practice rounds. The factory-installed 4x32 scope provides adequate magnification and light transmission for target acquisition at typical training distances, eliminating the need for additional optics investment. The 16.1-inch barrel balances velocity retention with maneuverability in confined spaces, while the single-shot action ensures mechanical simplicity and ease of maintenance—essential for instructors introducing newcomers to firearm operation and safety procedures.

Law enforcement youth programs, 4-H shooting sports clubs, and certified firearms instructors benefit most from the Crickett's predictable handling characteristics and minimal training curve. Its compact profile suits smaller-framed operators and indoor range environments where space is limited. Installation and zeroing of the included optic require no gunsmithing; standard adjustment procedures apply to the factory-mounted 4x32 scope. For compliance with local regulations and range safety protocols, verify FFL transfer requirements and age-appropriate supervision mandates in your jurisdiction before deployment.
