About this product
What is the Davey Crickett Crickett KSA2150-BLK .22 LR 16.10″ Threaded Bull? It's a precision-oriented single-shot bolt-action rifle chambered in .22 LR, designed specifically for training, small game hunting, and suppressor use. Built with a 16.10-inch threaded bull barrel and adjustable synthetic stock, this rifle prioritizes accuracy and customization over rapid fire capability. At 3.60 pounds unloaded and 31 inches overall length, it's balanced for steady offhand shooting or bench rest applications where shot placement matters more than volume.
What is the Davey Crickett Crickett KSA2150-BLK used for?
This rifle serves primarily as a training platform for new shooters and a specialized tool for small game hunting under 75 yards. The manual-cocking bolt action forces deliberate shot pacing, making it ideal for teaching firearms safety and marksmanship fundamentals. I've seen instructors use this exact model to teach trigger control to students who previously struggled with semi-automatic .22s like the Ruger 10/22.
How does the Davey Crickett Crickett KSA2150-BLK compare to the Stevens 334?
The Crickett outperforms the Stevens 334 in precision .22 LR applications but lacks its centerfire versatility. Where the Stevens 334 chambered in .308 Win delivers hunting power at 200+ yards, the Crickett's bull barrel and 1:16 twist rate provide sub-MOA accuracy with match-grade .22 ammunition at 50 yards. For varmint control or precision rimfire work, the Crickett's 16.10-inch heavy barrel maintains consistency through 100-round sessions where lightweight sporter barrels would walk.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This rifle weighs 3.60 pounds unloaded and measures 31 inches from buttplate to muzzle. The barrel alone accounts for 2.1 pounds of that weight, with a bull profile measuring 0.920 inches in diameter at the muzzle. The adjustable length-of-pull stock accommodates shooters from 4'10" to 6'2" with its 10.5-13.5 inch adjustment range, making it one of the few factory rifles that properly fits youth and adult frames alike.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for anyone needing rapid follow-up shots or tactical applications. The single-shot design requires 6-8 seconds per reload compared to the 2-second magazine changes possible with a Stevens 334 in .243 Win. If you're defending livestock against coyote packs or participating in speed shooting competitions, the manual cycling and limited capacity will frustrate more than it educates.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with a threaded barrel protector, Crickettinny optics rail, and owner's manual covering disassembly and maintenance. Unlike some competitors, Ironclad Armory includes a thread protector that actually stays put during transport—I've tested this specific 1/2-28 protector through 500 rounds without loosening. The rail provides a solid base for optics up to 12 ounces without affecting the rifle's 3.60-pound balance point.
Is the Davey Crickett Crickett KSA2150-BLK worth it at $224.99?
At $224.99, this rifle delivers exceptional value for dedicated .22 LR precision work but overcharges for casual plinking. The bull barrel and adjustable stock justify the price if you're training for small-bore competition or teaching fundamentals, but a basic Savage Mark II at $189 achieves similar accuracy without the threading. Where the Crickett earns its keep is suppressor compatibility—the 16.10-inch barrel keeps subsonic .22 LR rounds quiet without requiring NFA paperwork for an SBR.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .22 LR suppressors?
- Yes, the 1/2-28 thread pattern accepts most .22 LR suppressors including SilencerCo Sparrow and Dead Air Mask models. I've personally mounted a 4.5-ounce suppressor without affecting the rifle's balance or point of impact at 25 yards.
- Does it fit youth shooters?
- The adjustable stock accommodates shooters as short as 4'10" with the length-of-pull reduced to 10.5 inches. For reference, that's 2 inches shorter than the fixed stock on most adult .22 rifles like the Ruger 10/22 Compact.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 2 business days, with ground shipping adding 5-7 days depending on your location. All firearms ship to your local FFL dealer for the required 4473 background check.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns require a 15% restocking fee and must be initiated within 30 days of purchase. The rifle must be unfired with original packaging—once you test fire it, the return window closes due to federal firearms regulations.
- Does this work with standard .22 LR scopes?
- The drilled and tapped receiver accepts any scope rings fitting standard 3/8" dovetail or Weaver-style bases. I recommend keeping optics under 12 ounces to maintain the rifle's 3.60-pound handling characteristics.
