The Crickett Chipmunk Adult Hunter gets a chassis. For Kids.

Keystone Sporting Arms Chipmunk Adult Hunter pistol in their Crickett Alloy Model 6061 Rifle Chassis

Although intended for adults (It’s right there in the name), I got my Chipmunk Adult Hunter pistol with kids in mind. This single shot, bolt action .22 rimfire from Keystone Sporting Arms is a great trainer. First, it’s inexpensive to shoot, accepting .22 short, .22 long, and .22 long rifle ammo.

Boyds Pro Varmint Stock for the Ruger 10/22 Takedown

I recently purchased a Vortex Razor, and realized the included mount on a factory rail was just way too high for pistol use. So … Read more
