I bought one for 49.95 Christmas Special sale in 1991 and used it to teach all 4 of my kids my oldest has it now teaching his kids . I used CB caps to start in the basement with a bullet trap was great way to spend a rainy day.
I had one a while back for my grandson. Hell, I shot it more than he did. Very accurate little rifles. Sometimes, the simplest things are the most fun.
My first rifle was a marlin model 60 witch I bought at K mart in the 70s and still driving nails at 100 yards with it today.
That was my first gun too ! Bought at Kmart in the 70's for my birthday . But was stolen☹️ . If I remember seeing a reciept for 69 bucks, and it had the squirrel 🐿️ in the stock. I miss that thing.
God, I'd love to find one..
I bought mine at Walmart for 80 bucks about 20 years ago For my son I think I have used it more than my son did great squirrel killer
Awesome!
@@WHOTEEWHO do you except donations??? If so I would like to send you one 2 of these 22 conversations I've built one is a Henry survival rifle normally they are 22 lr but I've built one in 22 mag and 17 hmr then the cricket chambered in 22 mag,that has a vortex red dot,
I carried one of those rifles in the tote on my quad. It was small enough to easily fit and I shot a lot of grouse, rabbits and ptarmigan with it. Maybe I liked it because I’m just a big kid at heart.
I bought my grandson a S&W 15-22 for his first rifle. He was 6 when I bought it for him and at 9 he's very proficient with it. Some people don't feel comfortable starting a kid with a semiautomatic rifle as their first gun but I wanted something that could grow with him and would have a similar manual of arms to a regular ar.
My grandma got me the same rifle when I was 11 and I saved up all my money from working with my uncle to buy the scope for the cricket. It is by far my favorite rifle.
My first rifle was a .22 “Chipmunk”. Got it back when I was about 10 years old. Pretty much exactly the same as this rifle, but mine has a wooden stock. My parents still have it in their gun safe! I’ve harvested many squirrels and various birds with it ha! Great content as always, much love from Texas!
Rogue Valley S. Oregon... Chipmunks...
@@spektr540hemi what?
@@lucasblanchard47 Interesting. Not sure why that posted like it did. The "Chipmonk" rifles were originally made in Southern Oregon, Rogue valley, White City , IIRC.
@@spektr540hemi oh ok
Oregon Arms. I have one too
Got my first rifle in 1967, a Remington 341. Restored and still have it.
I've got one just like that from like 15 years ago that was given to me for my 8th birthday I believe. They are surprisingly accurate little rifles. I've shot thousands of rounds through mine and plan on passing it down to my kid one day
Same here, excellent little rifle
young dude keep it in the family forever. i'm an old man of 62 now and remember my first rifle, it was alot like this. it was a full size savage stevens, but the action worked like this. load a round, then have to cock it by pulling it back. i have a vague memory of it having some kinda sleeve on the back of the bolt that when id rotate it it would block the bolt and act as a safety. the only thing id have different on it would be a v back sight instead of a peep. alas i let an older distant cousin talk me out of it and have regretted it every since.
@@kennethrisner8648 You can do (or could have done) any of these 2 things: 1. cut the upper half of the "circle" and make a shallow dent at the bottom of the lower half; 2. replace it with the back sights designed for an airgun/pistol, with or without "fiber optics".
@@DrAgan_tortojed the gun is good as is, i'm sure i could get used to the peep site.
@@kennethrisner8648 Sure. It takes a little time, but one finally gets used to it. I still remember how it looked awkward to me when for the first time I shot from a rifle that was equipped with a "peep" (prior to which I shot many guns with "M+I" system).
My first rifle was a Remington 33 same action as that one, accurate little rifle that has killed tons of squirrels and birds!! Still got it after 45 years and it's still shooting great!!
Perfect rifle for any young learner. Better than a semi auto hands down less bang bang bang. Great for teaching to appreciate each shot more than shooting in general
Plus they’re safe, my daughter is gonna be getting one of these or the small savage .22 single shots. She’ll be following me through the woods with it slung over her shoulder, action open and unloaded for a little while. Learn proper rifle etiquette, once she’s proven she responsible then she’ll get some bullets and we’ll go small game hunting
@@sleeper.simulant7327 Those savage rascals are great youth rifles as well. Can't go wrong there.
Bought a Cricket for my son at about age 7. He's 42 now, still has it. Where did the time go...
I ask the same question,it's crazy how fast your kids grow up and you don't know where the time goes
Yup! My oldest turned 40 last year, my youngest 37. What blows me away is that my darling bride turned 65 five days after me and she’s still hotter than 95% of the women 20 years her junior. My body feels 65 because I’ve busted my butt , got hurt in the military and I fight two serious autoimmune conditions that are degenerative. Life is degenerative! But life is worth the hurt!
I had one of those as my son's first rifle. He liked it but now at 12 he had outgrown it. I traded it for him and picked up a Savage Mark II. He loves it. I missed the little Crickett and ended up getting one of the Crickett pistols. That thing is a lot of fun! Good video WTW!
My first 22 was similar- single shot bolt action Remington M33 with the pull plunger. It was the most accurate 22 I ever shot with open sights- took a pile of squirrels, rabbits, and doves with it. The single shot plunger guns are a great option for kids.
Had one new in box,sold it for 40 bucks more than I bought it! Loved that thing! 👍🏼
Those youth bolt action .22 rifles are pretty freakin accurate! And almost everyone makes one, and all are cheap!
Cool little guns used to sell them when I worked in sporting goods at Walmart
Got one with the American flag stock, fantastic little rifle!
Now THAT'S worth seeing!!!
This is about to be a real fun video
I agree!
Forgot to say they have the best warranty ever
My dad was given a used Stevens single shot just like that when he turned 13. This year my dad turned 91 and he just told me it shot a carton of shells a week squirrel hunting. I think it’s still around here somewhere. Great little gun you had there.
A carton of shells? I thought it shot bullets. What is a carton?
@@georgehays4900 I should have used quotes, “it shot a carton of shells a week”. That’s what he called them, I assume it’s something people much older than I might say.
It's interesting! In your country, guns are very common and in our country Iran also has machetes, swords and boxing claws is very common!
My first gun was a single shot Springfield that had an action like that. I learned how to shoot with it.
I had one in 70s 👍😊
The Williams fire sights are a great upgrade along with metal cocking knob .
Which Williams foresight in particular is compatible with this?
I was wondering the same thing
I have these in PISTOLS! LR & MAG. (Chipmunk & Cricket) Great fun range toys!! I use them for something ta shoot while barrels are cooling.
I still have my Oregon Arms Chipmunk rifle that my parents bought for me when I was little. And it will be my daughter's first rifle as well.
A few months ago my grandfather died and it hit my like a truck well a couple days after i found the 22 crikitt he got my when i was 4 years old im 21 to and to this day its still a fun gun i almost cried the first time shooting it in years i loved that it gave me so many good flash backs rip charles Higgins 2023 he died at the age 67
Like that little rifle, especially the peep sites.About 30 years ago when my eyes were very good I tried out grandpa’s old enfield 303 British at the range and was surprised when I put 6 rounds inside an inch at 100 yards with the military peep sites!
i got one of these when my nephews was little good starter gun.also have a few buddies that coon hunt and one of these is what they carry..they say it does a great job at bringing those big boars out of the tree tops and is small and ez to carry when chasing the dogs
What a fun "novelty" to plink with as an adult! I'd look like baby Huey holding that rifle! I want one!!!
Me too!
They make an adult stock for the Chipmunk version.
Me too
You won't regret purchasing this little rifle..I have 2 of them and a pistol version...fun little accurate plinkers...I use mine to take out snakes on my little ranch...makes a great trap gun also
I'd love to see one made for adults but keeping the same little youth size. Get rid of that "pull back" charging style bolt safety & add something like a built in, 5 round, internal magazine, like a lot of larger caliber bolt guns have.
A tiny little rig like that would make a PERFECT, lightweight, compact, squirrel gun. Could easily carry it around camp & on hikes. Talk about fun.
Great video WTW, thanks 👍
There are plenty of other small .22s that already do that, I think this one is just focused for youths.
Damn! Super impressed with this as a backyard plinker. Thanks for sharing!
That’s great i wanted to buy one a couple years ago but the local store was sold out. I ended up buying a savage rascal instead for my boys. The savage does not have that extra pull back feature though. I can’t shoot well with it so small, but my boys shoot the spinners no problem.
Picked one up a while back in walnut, great little gun for my grandson to learn with. Exile Armory keeps a decent number of them. (I had to give them a plug, they’re awesome)
I just picked one up for my 6yr old. They are made about 30 miles from my house in Milton, PA.
I've got two of those I bought my kids for Christmas years back. They love them. They are fun to shoot and accurate. The trigger is a bit heavy for my liking but understandable for new shooters.
Kinda takes me back as a kid with an ole 22 Target Master.👍
i feel kind of embarrassed saying this , but this was my first rifle when i was 18. My parents were insufferable liberals with no concept of rights so there was no wholesome father son learning experience for me. I had to get out there and learn the basics of firearms handling alone and by god this little rifle was a good teacher. great little gun for sure!
The age doesn't matter when you have the most appropriate learning tool. Sounds like it worked perfectly!!
No worries. I've purchased many guns but bought this one for myself in my early 30s just to play with in the backyard with cci quiets. I wanted something other than another pellet gun for the yard. Good choice.
It is an awesome little rifle no matter what age you acquire it. I bought one at the tender age of 37, and it accompanies me and my black lab on walks deep into the wilderness. It is so very light that it does not burden me and I keep it in a little ozark hydration backpack that I repurposed by removing the water bladder. The barrel fits perfectly down the little hole in the pack bottom and the stock peaks out the top just slightly. Mine is in 22 magnum, stainless, with a camo synthetic stock. I chose this rifle specifically because in my state we are allowed to hunt hogs during small game season, but we have to use the same firearm that is legal for the small game. 22 magnum is a killer. So it gives me like 5 months to possibly bring home some bacon. I have a cheap little scope on it, but it is a freakin tack driver.
I'm 47 and to this day use this little rifle to hunt squirrel's ...I also have the cricket pistol to hunt with....I'm not embarrassed at all..
Im 28 and I’d buy it cus its small and accurate it would be a great light rifle for a small game shooter while big game hunting
My first rifle was a 1923 Marlin Model 93 lever-action 30-30 (all matching serial numbered parts). It’s still a sweet rifle. My dad took it back from me after a decade and gave it to my brother because I wanted to replace some missing barrel band screws and retire the original stock. 336 parts fit the Model 93 and I had planned on putting a Realtree APG stock on it. Nope. I did get to slightly polish the action before he took it though. I cleaned it up and made it buttery smooth. Haven’t seen it almost 12 years. I’m 34. He also had no problem taking my $40 Weaver mount and $60 rings. (Yes, someone decades before me drilled and tapped the receiver…..)
We have two. Super accurate, an excellent trainer and snakeshot rifle.
That rifle is more accurate and has more of a reach than people would expect. I wonder how this one turned out for you? I guess we'll find out later 👋🤠👍
Absolutely is
You would be dangerous if you actually sighted in for yourself, I didn't expect it to be that accurate. Good video
@@WHOTEEWHO I just had the chance to watch and those groupings are something to truly appreciate.
The thing about it not ejecting in the first try sometimes I found to be happening for 2 reasons.
1 - the slot where the ejector arm goes into when you close the bolt gets dirty pretty easy and it cause the ejector arm to not clip onto the rim of the round, so that's why it tends to eject on the second or third try because the gunk got moved out of the way.
2 - waxed ammo in a dirty chamber grips really good and with the spring tension of the ejector arm being kind of week, it causes the ejector arm the slide over the rim of the cartridge. This also happens sometimes but more rarely with non-waxed ammo.
My husband and I watch one of your videos everyday. Your awesome and very knowledgable on guns and ammo. We enjoyed your crickett .22 video so much that were getting our grandson one. Keep em coming job well done...
Appreciate yal watching
I bought one for my son when he was very young, we spent many hours together shooting squirrels and all sorts of other stuff. He’s 17 now, I’ve made sure he has a shotgun and rifle and a four wheel drive. 🇺🇸
Nice groups! Always a fun watch!
100 yds open sites that’s a nice group and them golden Saber bullets are a good bulk bullet never had any problems with them😊
Just bought one in a .22 magnum for my nephew!! It’s a super fun bang bang!!!
My first rifle was a Marlin Crown Prince which I given, new, over sixty years ago. It is not as pretty now but is still probably more accurate than I am.
Great youth rifle..& for adults also ! Nice and light but accurate! Perhaps it would make a nice survival rifle ? Instead of a semi-auto Henry AR7... Perhaps this would make a good survival rifle for an adult.. lightweight looks like it would fit in the backpack.... Definitely a handy rifle you could keep behind the seat of your pickup truck.. ?
Good little rifle. Excellent for a kids first gun. Thanks for the video.
Looks like a great starter or for a handy tool for all types of stuff.
That is a great gun for the woods for sure.
You need to crank in all the Zoomies!!!! When you take your son out for squirrels and rabbit, he can shoot the Davy Crickett and you can use your Dam Ol' Boom. I had a Stevens Crackshot for my first rifle. Really fun to shoot. One of my uncles had an old Remington Single shot. His dad would give him one boo lot. He had to bring in a rabbit to get another boo lot. Taught him marksmanship. That was back in the late 1920s and early 1930s in Wyoming.
Bought my grandkids one when my granddaughter turned 6 she's the oldest. That was 5 years ago her and her brother have put hundreds if not thousands of round. Been very impressed with it. My granddaughter has shot rabbits and squirrels with it.
over 30 years ago my dad use to set me up in the window and give me a box of rounds to fire off out the window into whatever, shoot anything just not the power wires he said so you know what i spent the entire box trying to hit lol. i was so young i use to struggle to pull the plunger back so after 10 rounds or so id have to use a hook he made to make it easier. was an accurate unit i used it to hunt rabbits years later till it got stolen.
It’s a little pricey for a kids rifle. But, that CZ457 scout is pretty nice. You can get a single shot adapter and later on it can grow with the child. You can restock it with an adult size stock.
I’m impressed with the peep sights on my son’s. It really makes you center the front sight.
My oldest daughter's first rifle was one of these crickets. We all enjoyed shooting it! If you can find some 22 CB rounds they sound like regular 22 suppressed out of these, and up close the low velocity doesn't make a big shift in point of impact. Great for training young kids.
For my other two kids I ended up going with the Savage Rascal when they were old enough. At the time it had several nice upgrades that the cricket didn't have yet. Their accutrigger is hard to beat.
There is a port on the side of that rifle that is used for when a round is overpressure or if something catastrophic happens with a round. It's designed so that the gas blows out the side instead of blowing the barrel or reciever apart. Make sure your kids keep their fingers away from that overpressure hole when shooting that gun. You may have to tell them a few times not to put their hand there...
Thanks another great video! I bought my then 6 year old grandson a cricket 2 years ago for his first learner firearm. Every time he visits we go to our range for a hour of proper handling/use and then some shooting wild beast, space aliens and assorted monsters . He just loves his cricket now that he's learning to slow down aim and proper trigger usage. He's pretty accurate with it out to the 50 yard mark with the factory sights. I bought his cricket at a local sporting good store for $91 out the door on clearance best $91 I've spent in years. How many of you remember your first firearm that you fired or the first one you owned? The first firearm I ever fire was a Paragon 12 double, Dad had to help me hold it up " I was 4" to fire , the first I worked "cut grass for 2 years" for to buy was a Model 81 marlin, I still own both the Paragon and Marlin all these years later. Dad ordered the Marlin through the old Gander Mountain mail order for me, my Grandpa was the original "He and Dad swapped" owner of the Paragon and he mail ordered it from the Montgomery Ward Christmas wish book right after WWII yeah I'm that old! lol!! Sometimes I wish I was the little boy again out shooting with Grandpa and Dad.
Cool little plinker my first rifle my father got for my uncle when he was drafted during the Korean war it went to my brother after the me and my younger sister I gave it to my nephew and he is now teaching his little ones that old 22 has been well used and I hope my nephew's kids will keep the tradition going
Perfect rifle for a new young shooter. One shot at a time makes them take their time and focus on doing things right instead of just rapid fire, I like that 👍
I have 2 , they shoot great with the right Bullets, mine doesn’t like heavy 40 gr Bullets, carried it many yr chasing raccoons in the hills of Pennsylvania, super light to carry when handling dogs @ night !!! 😀
Also my second rifle I put a scope of it n it’s awesome !!
Bought my daughters the Keystone My first shotgun version ( 410 single shot ) things great other then a double digit trigger pull
I got my grandson the tactical one , has a scope rail, adjustable cheek rest, and a threaded barrel. It was $200 vs $130 for the least expensive ones but it has been awesome especially suppressed. Super quiet and deadly accurate, really likes Norma TAC 22
Bought my kids a Crickett years ago. To this day I still need to find a gunsmith to fix it. Cost me a little more than $100 new. Jams every shot, won't extract, and all rounds have to be peeled out. Shells get stuck in the chamber.
This was the first and last time I will buy one for my kids.
Instead, now using the AR platform with a BCA .22lr upper. Found it likes CCI mostly. Haven't found another round it likes.
Got a cricket they are accurate guns I use 40gr 22 hp. My camp gun or hiking gun. If you put a 4x scope on it you ll be amazed. Cricket sells the mount for a scope. 👍
Cool little first rifle
I bought both of my boys their own cricket rifles for their 5th birthdays, the oldest just got the 22lr but I bought the second one in 22wmr. I didn't even know the made them in 22 mag. Lol
Pretty impressive grouping for my first rifle… but then again that could be the Who_Tee_Who legendary shooting!
My daughter's have a Savage rascal they barely used it before starting out with 5.56/223
Bought the pink on for my daughters seven years ago. It’s great.
It's a Keystone criket because they are made in the Keystone state
I've seen these for sale for about $99 , but never bought one . This video makes me want one now . I think this would make a great stealth backyard pest gun loaded with 22LR subsonic cartridges . Those 22 Shorts are hard to come by , and I don't believe anyone makes 22 Longs anymore . I've tried 22 caliber airguns with little satisfaction . The 22 air guns start out costing more than a Cricket , are less powerful , and use spring pistons for power . The spring piston system creates two recoil impulses that wreck scopes not made for it , and require the shooter to use the " Artillery Hold " grip for accuracy . The cheapest 22 air gun I tried out was a $300 spring piston gun PCP ( Pre Charged Pneumatic) gun . The pump didn't work as advertised , the air chamber didn't hold pressure , so the gun was useless . Even the guy at the SCUBA shop couldn't help me , so I got my money back from the gun store . Reliable air guns cost more than 22 rimfire guns anyway . Thank You , Adam . Maybe your friend could let you hold his gun a little longer and try out some subsonic ammo in this little shooter . Those slow moving slugs can be quite accurate within appropriate ranges without a lot of fuss from the neighbors .
I love the Cricket rifle both my sons have one but I bought my daughter a Savage Rascal it's basically the same thing but the Savage is a lot better it has a thumb safety instead of a plunger style you get along more for just a few dollars more.
My first rifle was a Remington 514 some 55 years ago.
I'd love to get one for my grandson's I had to learn to shoot when I was 5 yrs old on a double barrel shotgun with a 22 over talk about a heavy rifle.
I here late , cool little rifle , and with owner site in stop a candle flame. Like Treetop outdoors.
I got one for mine. The kids aren't small anymore. It's still fun for us grown ups. I know you can get an Adult stock for them. We haven't gotten around to that yet though.
I bought my daughter the pink one when she was 7. She's 10 now and shoots like a pro!❤
I got one for my oldest boy years ago. My 2 younger boys will be running it soon.
This was my first rifle, and I passed it down to my brother, then to my cousins, we are getting a new rear sight because we replaced it with a reflex sight and lost it
That is one cool little bing bang! Saw one online with a laminate stock.
Very refreshing to see. Brought out the kid in you.
I got my first 22 single shot Cooey when I was 10 years old, I'm 57 now. My father was a crack shot who taught me well, I really miss him.
Really showing up the difference between the UK and the US here! The idea that there is commercial sense in making an actual firearm for kids, and that you can buy a "bucket" of bullets! It's a different world over there, and I wish some of it would spread over here!
😆😆😆
Looks like a similar design to the Winchester Model 60-22 which I inherited from my pappy.
My first was a Stevens Crack Shot 26 22 short, long LR.. Granddad bought new many many years ago. Burned in a house fire. Many bad words.
Keystone Crickett has the best warranty ever I don't care what you do to it they will fix it free
Your boys will love this. They clearly can operate a full sized bing bang, but this will fit their little hands much better. 😊
I've been thinking about getting one for my 7-year-old granddaughter. Just waiting for mom and dad to say it's ok.
Had a range day cut short by some shotty ammo, so I decided to peruse the shop and found this little guy. Got it on hold and I'm gonna buy it to teach the god kids on. Can't wait, I had more fun with it in the shop than anything else
Reminds me of the 22 cooey I learned to shoot on up here in Canada
What would you recommend for a 22 or 17hmr brand wise that's affordable, another great video
Good first rifle, teaches marksmanship. 👍😊
That Crickett is cool, my first gun was kinda like that. Don't know why I got rid of it, it was the best shooting .22 I ever had. Darrell
Got my son one when he was 7 , he’s 28 now and still has it .
Seems to get better the more you put through it
I gotta envy the youngster that's gettin' that rifle!
These are cool. Any kid would be lucky to get one. My first was a Ruger 10/22.
My dad bought me one when I was six. If I had a dollar for every squirrel and grouse I've harvested with it the last 16 years, I'd be pretty well off
