Yea, I bought one for my son a couple years ago. Its the blued with the laminated stock. I put a 4X32 scope on it for him. He's out grown it now, still debating on keeping it or not, being his first rifle I might put it back and keep it. There no match grade rifle, but they do shoot pretty good.

I bought one a couple of years ago for my nephews to learn on. The only problem was the rear peep sight kept loosening up, but a different retaining screw fixed that.It has certainly been worth the purchase price.The fact that it has to be cocked manually after chambering a round is a great safety feature and training tool for new shooters. Surprisingly, it is an accurate gun.

Cute little My-First-Rifle. :t Aperature sight the size of a coffee can.

They are very small, Fatstrat. How old are your nephews?

When they start asking about customizing it... they're ready for a 10/22.

I've got the CZ Scout, companion to my Special. It's a little larger; good for up to an early teen. The Cricket is probably getting a little small for a 12-13 y/o.

It's great having a youth rifle around, especially if you have a large family with youngsters, or a lot of the little gremlins in and out the house.

Their eyes sure light up when they see a rifle just their size and get an invitation to shoot it. (Gotta ask the parents first. :1t )

...I might put it back and keep it...

Keep it, Shootnut.

Grandkids are the best reason for not choking your kids when they got out of line and tried pushing all your buttons at once. :angel:
