    More Crickett Photos

    These are my Grandkids Crickett rifles, junior sniper version. With the birth of my newest Granddaughter last month, I'm going to have to build another pink one, or maybe a purple laminate stock.





    They all have their own 10/22 rifle for when they are big enough.

    Where did you get these? I have been looking for a pink one for my daughter but haven't found a LGS that carries them.

      Nice! As simple and cheap as they are, Cricketts are surprisingly accurate...

      Go with the purple... You know you want to...

        Cute rifles, but using the word "porn" when you're talking about something relating to your grandkids?

        Maybe I'm oversensitive.

          Nice rifles... Ron, what scope is that you're using? My six year old daughter wants a "Pink Princess" rifle : )

          I want to get her a Crickett to start off with. Cheap and single shot. Will teach her to conserve ammo and make the most of her shot..... I think.

          He is an anti-gun guy and he said. "Well, you can't eat ammunition". I replied with "When I'm starving to death with a case of ammunition, who's door do you think I am going to knock on?"

            My nephews each have their own Crickett rifle, and they do well with them - when they can get them away from us big kids!

            They had always been restricted to CB shorts and CCI Quiets, so this summer when I gave them their first few Stingers, they loved it! Great rifles for the young ones, and keeps them from devouring all my ammo.

            Honestly, I have been wanting one in .22 WMR for my backpack

              I love seeing the Crickets with bipods and scopes. Awesome set, RS!
              You will never, in your life, have a chance like this again.
              If I were you, I would not pass this up. I would not let this go by...this is rare.

                My Grandkids live in Arizona. These came from Walmart. Gotta love free states.

                Yeah, My oldest Grandaughter loves purple more than pink, so I may order her a purple stock. The youngest is only two weeks old, so time will tell.

                The scopes are all made by Crickett, along with the scope rail. 4x32 with mil dot reticle. They are very accurate.

                The bipods are 2 Winchesters from Walmart and 1 is a Caldwell from Midway. It helps them steady the rifle and they hit what they aim at. They love shooting them.

                Never thought of it in that sense. Just though some people would like to see some fun rifles.

                They all started with iron sights, and know the principles. These are for fun. One has vision problems so the magnification helps.

                      I think kids should start out with iron sights and single shots rifles for safety.

                        Very nice OP.

                        My daughters will for sure love the pink Crickett one.

                          Reading comprehension issues? If you will note my previous comment, they all started with iron sights.

                          Please tread crap somewhere else.

                            Hi Ron-Solo,

                            I'm looking to purchase a youth sized rifle for my 10 year old grandson. Why did you choose the Crickett say over a Savage Rascal? How difficult is it for a kid to pull back on the cocking mechanism? The Savage does not have this.

                            Also, how stiff is the trigger pull on the Crickett?

                            How much total did you spend for rifle and scope?

                            Thanks,
                            Steve
