That cricket looks like my Chipmunk on LSD. The little guys and gals love them though and can shoot them well.
Have fun with those.

I really like that Crickett...your boys should love that. They go fast here in the local shops....I may have to buy one for my boy until he can heft his Marlin 39A.

I have been thinking about getting a cricket for my daughter. She is 8 years old is kind of on the fence when it comes to shooting. When I ask her if she wants to go out and shoot with me I get about a 50/50 positive response. Last time we were out she asked me if they made pink guns :shock: . Well cricket does. I guess if that is what it takes to keep her interested in shooting I will do it. Just never thought I would buy a pink gun. I like the looks of the red, blue, and white laminated stock in the picture a lot better than the pink composite. Maybe I can talk her into that one!!

Congrats Jeremy!!! :D

The pink-stocked crickett my daughter saw at a gun show inspired me to make the one I did for her for Christmas.

Congrats, my kids really enjoyed the single shot Remington I bought several years, that is until they found out how much fun a 10-22 is. By the way that handi- rifle is actually an E.B.S.S.(Evil Black Single Shot) or maybe an A.S.S. (Assault Single Shot) aw heck I don't know. Have fun with both of them.

Take me with you!!!!!!

At least its not a Soulless Auto Loader :D :D . Until I can atack it with Krylon and make it look like a bush I will just call it my EBR.

Ysable
The funny thing is my wife saw the pink one sitting in the rack and joked with the boys about it. The owner over heard and pulled out the red, white, and blue laminate and the boys fell in love with it and brow beat me into getting it for them. The owner was cool and threw in 20 targets (10 each) and a box of Rem Thunderbolt Hi-Speed for them to break it in with.

I love the Patriot colors on the Cricket's stock. Is the rifle a single shot? My Grandfather always had a single shot .22 on hand at the cabin until someone broke in and stole it back in the late 70's. Never replaced it, but after seeing yours I would like to do so.

Single shot bolt action. I have been looking at one for awhile now and figured it was a cool looking gun at a decent price why not right.

You can't hardly beat the 308 for an all around cartridge.

Congrats on the rifles.

That is what I ws thinking. Plus it allows me time to refinish the stock on my enfield and get it bedded with out having to keep swaping the plastic stock on it to go hunting. But I wont totaly retire the enfield she just wont get taken out as much.

I have one of those Survivor's but mine's a 12 Gage.

Picked it up at a show for $100 just for kicks. I was really amazed how well made it is! A lot of fun too!!

I really like NEF products. Here's my Cricket. I got it at the gunshow for $60.00 with the factory case.

Jeremy, it sure seems unreasonable to have to wait till the 27th to take those dangerous and evil looking rifles home. California hasn't got to Kansas yet, but maybe McCain will encorage our governor to clamp down on us a little, as he reaches across the isle, to even the field? Im glad you got 2 new guns!!

Yeah 10 day wait for a long gun sucks but it realy sucks that we can only buy 1 hand gun a month no limit on long guns though.

I hope the rest of you never have to deal with this level of stupidity.
