Customer Reviews for Crickett 16.12" 22 Long Rifle Single Shot Rifle

I started all of my kids with this little gun, and am now going to do the same for my grand kids. It is a well built and handy little rifle for children.

My grandson was extremely happy with his new rifle. We had a great time on the range!!! As always it’s easy shopping online at BUDD!!!

Got this for my little 9yr old boy. I cleaned it and took it to the range to sight in before giving it to him on his birthday. Sights needed slight adjustment that was easy to do. Accuracy of this rifle is excellent! Parts quality is as expected in this build class. Being a single shot bolt action youth rifle, it's a perfect training tool for proper use of the rifle. Once loaded the bolt needs to be cocked before the trigger becomes active, thus minimizing accidental discharge when the weapon has a round in the chamber. Safety features on this rifle are well thought out. Youth sizing is great for little people learning proper rifle use. Accessories and replacement parts are available, easy to find, and are fair in price. Service life will be longer than the rifle will fit the little person. Scopes and red dots are also available for this model.

Bought this as a first gun for my nephew and so far he loves it and never wants to put it down. Couldn't ask for a better starting gun.

These are nice, but the kids quickly out grow them. I was glad to get them for each of my boys when they turned 7. I think it will be cool when they pass them on to their kids. The cocking before firing adds a level of safety that I liked and encouraged good habits. I’d recommend the crickett for a really young shooter possibly 5 or 6, but not for an older 7,8,9 shooter. As a legacy item that will get passed on for generations it’s cool. Quality is very good.

Love it son learned to shoot with it, than my cousins son.

Awesome gun. Bought for my two boys as their first gun. Already had my 2 1/2 year old shooting it. I recommend this gun for little kids. Simple and easy to use.

Fantastic gun for the youth shooter. Much easier to shoulder and aim than the kinds of .22 rifles most of us grew up with. Oddly fun and satisfying to shoot as an adult, too!

I bought this 22 youth rifle for my grandson.
For the price, it will do nicely.
We haven't fired it yet, but the design is very safe.
Considering the virus situation around the country, Bud's has excellent customer service.
I received the rifle in a short time, and my grandson is chomping at the bit to start his experiences with firearms.
This is a perfect starter rifle for a young boy.
Thanks Bud's.

Bought this as a training rifle for my grand children. looks like it will be an asset for them, I am a little concerned about the peep sight. I am looking for a scope.

I bought this Cricket because it reminded me of the first rifle I shot with my Dad as a youngin'. It is surprisingly well made for the price, and the adjustable peep sight can get you right on the money. A real treat to shoot, I highly recommend this nice little plinker!

This is a great choice for your children highly recommended.. Like always Buds has fast and good service...

Excellent choice for my Little Grand-Daughter! Great learning vehicle! Smooth and easy to operate, will be good for Her in about 2 more years. As always, Bud's is the only place anymore I buy guns! You can work with these people, which makes them stand out among the rest. This makes number 8 I've purchased from Bud's! Thank You Bud's! don c

Great little gun, fast shipping, and easy to use instructions to get this nice rifle ordered. With all of the 1st person shooting games out there, my kids understood how to use a scope, so ordering the Cricket 4x32mm scope made alot of sense. Now I only wish I could find some 22LR ammo so we can go shooting more.

Got this for my kids to shoot great gun for kids to start shooting

This is a great starter rifle for the little ones. Some drawbacks, I found the rear sight to be less than superior and the safety bolt locking mechanism on the bottom of the gun can be irritating, especially if you left the key at home. There is a little button/lock on the bottom under the receiver. Push it in and the bolt will not close. You must have the key to unlock this little range headache which your kids will inadvertantly push at least 50 times! It is, however a great safety feature when storing the gun. My brother has used this gun for his kids and it went over quite well. I have purchased another one, but in Stainless, so my my niece and nephew can continue using my original. Definitly not a high quality rifle, but my kids love it and for the price I picked it up for, I really cant complain.
