Key Features
- Gen2 Adjustable Trigger: The upgraded trigger lets you dial in pull weight from 2.5 to 5 pounds, which means a crisp release for young fingers or precise shots on squirrels and rabbits.
- Threaded Barrel (1/2×28 TPI): A factory-threaded muzzle allows you to attach a suppressor or muzzle brake, cutting down noise for backyard practice or keeping the peace on public land.
- Multi Cam Synthetic Stock: The camo pattern blends into most hunting environments, so you won’t spook game while stalking or sitting in a blind. The synthetic material shrugs off rain and mud.
- Manual Safety with Red Indicator: A visible red band shows when the safety is off, giving new shooters a clear visual cue. It’s simple and foolproof for teaching safe handling.
- Blued Steel Construction: The blued finish resists rust and wear from field use, keeping the rifle looking good season after season without needing constant oiling.
Who It’s For
This rifle is perfect for parents teaching kids to shoot, small-framed adults who want a lightweight trail gun, and hunters who need a quiet, low-recoil option for small game or pest control. It also works well for new shooters at the range who want to build fundamentals without the noise or cost of centerfire ammo.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Lightweight at 4.5 lbs, threaded barrel for suppressors, adjustable trigger, durable synthetic stock, affordable price point under $320, reliable Crickett action.
- Cons: The factory trigger, even adjustable, can feel a bit gritty out of the box and may benefit from a light polish. Also, the synthetic stock has a hollow feel that some shooters might find less solid than wood.

FAQ
What is the barrel length on the Crick KSA2147 Gen2?
The barrel is 16.125 inches long with a 1/2×28 TPI thread pattern, per manufacturer specs. This makes it compact enough for young shooters while still allowing suppressor attachment.
Is this rifle safe for children to use?
Yes. The Crickett Gen2 has a manual safety with a red indicator, and the adjustable trigger can be set to a heavier pull (up to 5 lbs) to help prevent accidental discharges. Always supervise young shooters and follow basic firearm safety rules.
Can I mount a scope on this rifle?
Yes, the receiver is drilled and tapped for standard .22 scope bases. You can add a rimfire scope for better accuracy at longer ranges, but the iron sights are adequate for 25–50 yard shooting out of the box.
Does it come with a magazine?
No, this is a single-shot bolt-action rifle. You load one round directly into the chamber. This is a feature for training and safety, as it forces the shooter to focus on each shot.
What is the effective range of this rifle?
With .22 LR ammo, you can expect reliable accuracy out to 50–75 yards on small game or targets. Beyond that, bullet drop becomes significant. For plinking or squirrel hunting, 25–50 yards is ideal.
