Chipmunk 00005 Gen2 .22 LR 16.10 in Single Shot Rifle

The Chipmunk 00005 Gen2 .22 LR 16.10 in Single Shot Rifle is a manual-cocking, single-shot bolt-action trainer built for teaching the fundamentals of marksmanship. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle with a 16.10-inch tapered blued barrel and fixed camo laminate stock, this Gen2 iteration brings an upgraded metal cocking knob, the EZ Loader system for simplified loading, and factory-installed swivel studs for sling attachment. A rebounding firing pin with automatic blocking provides the safety mechanism. Per manufacturer specs, the overall length is 30.75 inches and weight is approximately 3.5 pounds.

Key Features

• Upgraded Metal Cocking Knob — Why it matters: The metal knob provides positive tactile engagement over the plastic version, reducing the chance of slippage when cocking the bolt, especially with cold or gloved hands.
• EZ Loader System — Why it matters: This integrated loading ramp guides the .22 LR cartridge into the chamber without the user having to thumb it in, making single-shot loading faster and safer for new shooters.
• Rebounding Firing Pin with Automatic Block — Why it matters: The firing pin retracts into the bolt face after each shot and is mechanically blocked from contacting the primer until the trigger is pulled, providing an extra layer of drop-safety.
• Factory-Installed Swivel Studs — Why it matters: You can attach a sling immediately for standing position practice or field carry without drilling or aftermarket hardware.
• Fixed Camo Laminate Stock — Why it matters: The laminate construction resists warping from moisture and temperature changes better than budget birch stocks, maintaining bedding consistency over time.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for three specific shooters: the parent teaching a child rifle safety and marksmanship fundamentals, the adult looking for an ultra-light plinker for backpacking or survival kits, and the precision shooter who wants a dedicated .22 trainer for dry-fire and live-fire practice on a budget. The single-shot action forces you to make every round count, reinforcing shot discipline.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: The EZ Loader eliminates fumbling with small cartridges, a real advantage for small hands or low dexterity.
• Pro: At 3.5 pounds, it’s light enough for a child to hold in the prone position for extended training sessions.
• Pro: The manual-cocking mechanism lets you practice the cocking motion before every shot, building muscle memory for larger bolt-action rifles.
• Con: The fixed stock means length of pull is not adjustable — taller adults or very small children may need aftermarket spacers or a different stock.

Comparison

The Chipmunk undercuts both the Savage Rascal and Keystone Crickett on price while adding the EZ Loader and factory swivel studs — features that reduce frustration for new shooters and eliminate aftermarket costs.
