Picked up a little .22lr single shot at a yard sale it is a crickett. its about the size of the stock on a regular rifle, it has a bull bbl sans sights and has a scope mount. the trigger feels surprisingly light and crisp with no slack and only a little overtravel I put a small 2.5 power weaver I had laying around on it and have yet to shoot it.

On guns America I didn't see a crickett of any kind for less than 149.00 got this one for 100.00.

Any info or comments on this little piece would be welcome

These guns are inexpensive, simple and shoot very very well! Mine loves the bulk federals better than eley biathlon ammo!

I got mine from wal-mart for $99 two years ago. It has a slim barrel, a plastic stock, and peeps. I love it! I keep it in the truck in case of needing to dispatch a hit deer or some such. It works realy well for busting squirrels too. It makes up for being so cheap by being light weight and handy. I'm a big guy, but I can snuzzle up to that bitty little rifle no problemo. It's the perfect compromise between a pistol and a rifle, and its probably the only type of gun that could pull it off. You did good!

It's a favorite with coon hunters! And that bull barrel version is fairly rare.
