Introduced in 1996, Crickett Youth Rifles are the younger sibling in the youth rifle market, yet they remain the top choice for young shooters in the industry. With a wide array of stock and platform designs available, including Synthetic, Hydro-Dipped, Wood, Laminate, EX Target, CPR (Crickett Precision Rifle), and Mini Mil-Surp options, there's something to suit every preference while ensuring safe firearm handling education. Both the generation 1 and generation 2 models feature a polymer cocking knob and front sight post. Additionally, the generation 2 models boast an EZ load feed ramp (22LR) and installed swivel studs for sling attachment. The Crickett line offers versatility to cater to the tastes of any youth shooting sports enthusiast. The tried-and-tested manual cocking mechanism, present in both generations, ensures that the firing pin is blocked and the rifle is on safe before and after each shot. This deliberate step of manually pulling the cocking knob serves to slow down young enthusiasts, facilitating firearm safety education, building confidence, and instilling a sense of responsibility while enjoying the process of learning to shoot.
