Description

The Keystone Sporting Arms Crickett CPR 22LR Carbon PKG delivers a precision rimfire platform built for shooters who demand consistent accuracy from a compact package. This bolt-action rifle features a carbon fiber-wrapped barrel for reduced weight and improved thermal stability, making it a solid choice for training, small-game hunting, or entry-level competition.

Key Features

• Carbon Fiber Barrel: Why it matters — reduces barrel weight by nearly 40% compared to steel, improving balance and heat dissipation for longer shooting sessions without accuracy drift.
• Threaded Muzzle (1/2×28 TPI): Why it matters — lets you mount a suppressor or muzzle brake quickly, cutting report and felt recoil for faster follow-up shots in competition.
• Adjustable Trigger: Why it matters — factory-set at 2.5 lbs pull weight, giving a crisp break that helps you stack rounds in the X-ring without overtravel.
• Compact 16.5″ Barrel: Why it matters — keeps the overall length short for easy handling in tight spaces while still delivering enough velocity for sub-MOA groups at 50 yards.
• Integrated Picatinny Rail: Why it matters — mounts optics directly without aftermarket adapters, so you can zero a red dot or scope in minutes.

Who It’s For

This rifle targets competition shooters who want a lightweight rimfire trainer that mirrors their centerfire rig’s ergonomics, plus precision enthusiasts who value consistent accuracy without breaking the bank. It also suits young shooters or those with smaller frames, thanks to the 12.5″ length of pull and low 3.2 lb weight.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Carbon barrel cuts weight and heat buildup; threaded muzzle is suppressor-ready; adjustable trigger breaks cleanly; compact build handles well in barricade work.
• Cons: Factory trigger adjustment range is limited to 2-3 lbs — some competitors may prefer a lighter aftermarket trigger like a Timney for sub-1 lb pulls.
