I would look for an old Winchester or Remington myself. If you are interested in a new production rifle, I would go with the CZ or at least the savage chipmunk or even the rascal over the cricket.

Quoted:
I do, i kinda just want a super slow kinda relax and zone out in the woods kinda gun, you know just keep it simple. So looking around i see Cricket is making a chassis rifle that takes AR grip and butt stocks. Looks kinda cool. Are Crickets decent rifles or are there other options i should consider? I want something that can mount optics, but would like irons as well. Also i dont want to spend much more than $300. For new (and in your price range) look at the Savage Rascal (youth Model) or the Savage Mk I (full size). |

Contender is an option as well

I have the KSA (Cricket) 722 PT. It takes a seven round magazine, so it isn't a single shot.
I just bought it last week and only have 170 rounds through it right now. I really want to like this rifle, but for now I'd say get something else. I am hoping this will break in and be a decent rifle. The accuracy potential is there, but the reliability so far is not. I think this is the one you are referring to (don't laugh at the insanely high optic. It's the only mount i have on hand at the moment).

Plenty of old classics like the Winchester 67 kicking around for around 150 bucks or less. I may be biased but think the old classics are the way to go

CZ 455 Scout with the single shot magazine adapter is what you seek.

Look at old Marlins as well. All the old rifles have character, and surprising accuracy. Just not all the fancy whiz bang bolt on goodies.

I have my grandpa's Remington 514 single shot that he bought in the 50's. I dig out of the safe whenever one of my kids or nieces or nephews want to shoot for the first time. With CCI Standard, it shoots like a laser.

After seeing the quality of my daughters kricket look elsewhere.
Have you looked at the ruger precision rimfire? Ruger sells 1rd 10/22 magazines that should work with it. If you are set on a single shot, try to find a good used Anschutz. I’ve had repeaters in 54 and 64 actions. For a single shot I would get the 54. I liked the 64 better for hunting though. |

Mossberg made a lot of single shot .22s, they also made barrels that shot straight. Marlin, Winchester, Remington, Stevens, and all the major players made SS .22s.
The used market will always be your best bet for a man-sized .22 single shot but you will have to put in the work to find them as they should be purchased with gun in hand so you can inspect the bore. IMHO one of the best optic ready sporter lot was the Remington 580 single shot.....Very accurate.

Yeah - A few options. Might have to look around to find one for $300 though. https://i.imgur.com/X5ixIrv.jpg |

Last Sunday my skeet shooting buddies wanted to shoot .22 pistols after we got done with shotguns. I hauled out an assortment of nice pistols but I also brought two single shot .22 rifles: an old Ithaca lever action (but still single shot) Model 49 and an old H&R Model 365 "Reg'lar" training rifle. Everyone loved the Ithaca but they really loved the H&R with it's beefy barrel and original peep sight. Definitely was the hit of the session.

You SBR'd and suppressed a contender, I like your style. What caliber and how quiet is it? 
I think I've got a dozen or so barrels. Most subsonics are just silly quiet. The SBR in the picture above has a 10" .300 Whisper barrel. Shooting .38 Special is especially quiet too. Except when I shoot wadcutters at the 100-yd range. They make a funny whizzing sound as they fly. I currently only have one .22LR barrel. I had it cut back to 4" and inletted the forend to fit the stainless can. Great for discretely popping critters. |
