22 crickett or heritage 22

I've a Crickett .22 Mag in the adult walnut stock -- I had LGS order it for me. Keystone Sporting Arms had to catch up their production to get these out again recently. Less than 3-lb. single shot bolt and will fit a diminutive-framed adult. Nice piece of wood. Barrel length is fine. Trigger could be worse. Adjustable reay peep sight is simple and functional but designed to be zeroed in and set. Main issue I have is the cocking piece...

...it is too far over the wrist for me and interferes with a great grip at the web of my hand. Yes, basically a copy of an old Winchester "boys" rifle. It was $220. Scope mount was another $17.

However, mine was obtained primarily to create this one-lb. .22 Mag folding backpacking rifle.

He might have been a genius,,,

What marketing genius came up with that name?

Actually they were playing off of the Davy Crocket thang,,,
Click here please.

It actually might qualify a "genius" idea,,,
The kids at the time might not know who Davy Crocket was,,,
But the parents and grandparents of the kids knew the name and identified with it.
