Parents who buy the Crickett Gen2 Youth as a first rifle for young shooters appreciate the intentionally small dimensions and the single-shot discipline it teaches. The Blue Gold Webbing stock is popular with kids, and owners note the Gen2 improvements over the original design are noticeable in the fit of the action.

The stainless barrel and receiver combination gets good marks for durability, particularly from families who keep the rifle in a truck or take it to wet outdoor ranges. The single-shot format is both a teaching feature and a point of frustration once a young shooter outgrows the learning phase.

Adults who pick up a Crickett as a small-game or trail rifle sometimes find the youth dimensions genuinely awkward, though the .22 LR chambering and compact size remain practical for those applications. Trigger weight is considered acceptable for the platform's purpose.
