RE: wanted to buy. .22 cal. cricket
If your referring to the small children's 22 LR gun then maybe I can give you a little personal view. Got one for my son about two years ago,however in retrospect I would not get the same gun. I got it for
$100, impulse buy. However, after looking at numeorus other kids guns since then I would recomend the Savage cub rifle or the henry mini bolt. Both have excellent sights and good workmanship. The cricket is okay but it is very crude in comparison, particularly the sights.Guess its reflected in the cost but if I had a choice to do over I would have spent the extra 50-60 bucks on the savage or henry. Good luck whichever you choose and hope it helps.

Don't forget about an NEF Youth. When they grow up just change the stock and they still have their first gun. Start with a lite centerfire, 22hornet, 223 etc. and they are set for life. Just my opinion.

Forgot ... Chambersburg store in PA. And yes it is very drivable from Fred. MD. Drove up and back over lunch. I believe I also saw one at Sparks in Martinsburg over the holidays. Could call before driving to make sure.
