Ksa Crickett G2 .22 LR Bolt-Action Rifle

The Keystone Sporting Arms Crickett G2 .22 LR bolt-action rifle is an ideal entry platform for young shooters, precision enthusiasts, and trainers seeking a reliable, low-recoil firearm for skill development and small-game applications. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, this rifle delivers inherent accuracy advantages while minimizing shooter fatigue—a critical factor for building fundamental marksmanship skills in youth and novice contexts.

The G2 designation reflects Keystone's refinement to their proven Crickett platform, incorporating feedback from experienced instructors. The bolt-action mechanism provides positive primary extraction and reliable chambering, which are hallmarks of manual-feed design preferred in various environments. Weighing 5.56 pounds and featuring a barrel length of 16.125 inches, the rifle balances pointability with control, allowing shooters to develop consistency in sight alignment and trigger press without compensating for excessive weight.

The black synthetic furniture resists weather degradation and is easily maintained in field conditions, while the .22 LR cartridge delivers sufficient energy for target work and small-game hunting with minimal noise signature and zero recoil-induced accuracy drift. This rifle is particularly beneficial for youth programs such as 4-H and Boy Scouts, as well as for novice shooters looking to enhance their skills in a supportive environment.
