For a while Crickett has been the household name for a pint sized .22LR starter rifle, but that’s all fixing to change with Savage Arm’s new “Rascal” series.
The first thing most shooters will notice when they see the Rascal is that it contains Savage’s admired AccuTrigger. This is quite impressive for a youth-sized single shot .22. In addition to the manual safety the AccuTrigger ads an invaluable safety option to this rifle, but best of all is the crisp break. Trigger control is everything for shooting accurately and younger shooters will be able to pull off much better shots with a light, crisp trigger. The one I tested came set at 3 pounds. Some folks might think that is too light, but you’ll need to remember the strength of the little shooter’s index finger for which this was designed. But if you want it heavier, simply insert the adjustment tool and give it a few twists until you find it to be to your liking.
Savage’s new Rascal is the perfect starter rifle for that new shooter you are training up. Retail price is $174 for the colored option composite stocks and $213 for the wood stock. An excellent value for a rifle designed for younger shooters and full of great features that should last until the next generation.
