[BUCKMARK]

The Crickett is a decent little rifle. I think they are great for those little kids that cant hold up a "youth model" rifle. very short and light. Her gun extracts and runs just fine. She can break small balloons at 25 yards from the bench, and she LOVES to shoot it. She likes the fact that it's pink and that it is HER gun...not a loaner from dad.

I broke a few balloons with it @ 100 yards which is some task since it is so short. If I put my shoulder on the stock, I can't get any decent sight picture. I hold it out like a pistol to shoot it.

For a $100 rifle that will only be shot for a few years before being retired or passed down....I dont think you can beat them!

I still have the old Hamilton single shot .22 that I got as a very young child...I hope she hangs on to this pink Crickett forever also.
