Youth shooters and trainers need a rifle that is safe, simple, and built to teach fundamentals. A light, manual-action bolt rifle that rewards trigger discipline and sight alignment sets the foundation for lifelong marksmanship.

CRICKETT CRICKETT is a manual-cocking single-shot bolt action designed specifically for the youth shooting experience. It features a rebounding firing pin safety to prevent accidental discharge, a crisp 2.53 lb. trigger pull, an 11.5″ length of pull, and a 16.125″ stainless steel barrel. The rifle ships with a fixed front sight and an adjustable rear peep sight, and it is drilled and tapped to accept Crickett scope mounts. This model sports an American Walnut stock and is priced at $236.99 — a practical entry point for parents and programs alike.

Why this bolt action is ideal for new shooters

The bolt design is intentionally simple: manual cocking and single-shot loading eliminate the distractions of magazines and feeding issues. A rebounding firing pin safety provides an additional layer of protection when handling and teaching safe gun manipulations. The short 11.5″ length of pull accommodates smaller frames without forcing uncomfortable posture adjustments.

Trigger and barrel: training-focused components

A 2.53 lb. trigger pull gives young shooters a predictable break that reinforces trigger control without being hair-trigger sensitive. The 16.125″ stainless steel barrel balances maneuverability and accuracy, making it easier to establish consistent groups from bench and offhand positions.

Sights, optics, and customization

Factory-installed fixed front sight and adjustable rear peep sight teach sight picture and windage/elevation fundamentals before adding magnified optics. Since the action is drilled and tapped for Crickett scope mounts, upgrading to a red dot or low-power scope is straightforward as skills progress.
