Keystone Crickett CPR 22 LR Kryptek 16.12″

The Keystone Crickett CPR 22 LR Kryptek 16.12″ is a single-shot, manually cocking bolt-action rifle built for precision small-bore practice and plinking. It ships as a Complete Package with a threaded muzzle brake, Crickettinny rail, scope, bipod, sun shade, EZ Loader, and eye/ear protection — everything you need to hit the range immediately. The bull barrel and adjustable stock give you the stability to print tight groups at 50 yards without spending a dime on upgrades.

Key Features

• 16.12″ Blued Bull Barrel: Heavier profile reduces barrel whip and heat-induced POI shift, giving you consistent sub-MOA groups at 50 yards with match-grade .22 LR ammunition.
• Adjustable Cheekpiece & Length of Pull: Dial in comb height for perfect cheek weld and LOP for shooters of any size — critical for repeatable head position and consistent eye relief with the included scope.
• Manually Cocking Single-Shot Action: The bolt cocks on the upstroke, not the closing stroke, letting you load and fire with deliberate control. This eliminates any chance of accidental discharge from a dropped round.
• Threaded Muzzle Brake (Included): Reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise — minimal for .22 LR, but it helps keep the reticle on target for rapid follow-up shots in practice.
• Complete Package with Accessories: Ships with a Crickettinny rail, scope, bipod, sun shade, EZ Loader, and eye/ear protection — no separate purchases needed for a functional range setup.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the shooter who wants a dedicated .22 LR precision trainer without the hassle of piecing together a kit. It’s ideal for introducing new shooters to bolt-action fundamentals, or for experienced riflemen who want a low-cost, low-recoil platform to work on wind reading and trigger control. The adjustable stock fits youth shooters and adults alike, making it a versatile option for family range days.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Complete package saves you roughly 15–20% compared to buying scope, bipod, and accessories separately.
• Pro: Bull barrel and adjustable stock give you the ergonomic and mechanical foundation for precision work right out of the box.
• Con: The single-shot action limits magazine capacity — you’ll be reloading after every round, which slows down practice volume. If you need a semi-auto for rapid fire, this isn’t it.
• Con: The included scope is a budget unit; serious benchrest shooters may want to upgrade to a higher-magnification optic for 100-yard work.

FAQ

Why This Rifle Stands Out

Over 200,000 Crickett rifles have been sold since the brand’s launch, making them one of the most trusted names in youth and training .22 LR firearms. The CPR takes that reliability and adds precision features — bull barrel, adjustable stock, threaded muzzle — that turn a simple plinker into a legitimate trainer. You get a complete kit for $311.26, which is about what you’d pay for just the rifle and a basic scope from most competitors.

Final Verdict

If you want a no-fuss .22 LR precision rifle that comes ready to shoot out of the box, the Keystone Crickett CPR 22 LR Kryptek 16.12″ delivers. It’s not a semi-auto, and it’s not a high-end custom build — but for a dedicated trainer that teaches fundamentals and prints tight groups at 50 yards, it’s hard to beat at this price point.
