• The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting and finished in blued steel to match the barrel. 
• A crossbolt safety blocks the action to help prevent accidental discharge.

Owners of the Crickett My First Rifle Gen2 generally find the simple bolt-action design reliable for teaching a child the basics of loading, aiming, and firing safely. The single-shot function forces deliberate, one-at-a-time shooting, which many parents like as a first step before moving to repeating rifles.

The stock length and light weight make the rifle easy for smaller shooters to hold and shoulder, though some parents note kids outgrow the youth-length stock within a few years and need a full-size rifle after that. The synthetic stock holds up to drops and rough handling from new shooters.

Value opinions are mixed: buyers appreciate the low cost of entry and the range of color options Crickett offers, but a few feel the aftermarket support and parts availability lag behind more mainstream .22 LR platforms.
