Crickett 80044 Left Hand Scope Mount for Cricket/Chipmunk Rifles

The Crickett 80044 scope mount transforms Cricket and Chipmunk single-shot rifles into precision shooting platforms for left-handed shooters. This matte black aluminum mount provides a stable foundation for optics while maintaining the lightweight characteristics these youth rifles are known for.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic scope mounts that require gunsmithing or permanent modifications, the Crickett 80044 installs directly onto Cricket and Chipmunk rifle receivers using the existing mounting points. The left-hand configuration positions scopes for proper eye relief and natural shooting stance for southpaw shooters. Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, this mount weighs just 2.1 ounces while supporting optics up to 12 ounces without flexing.

Key Features

• Left-hand specific design optimized for proper scope positioning and eye relief
• Direct bolt-on installation to Cricket/Chipmunk receiver mounting holes
• Matte black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum construction resists corrosion
• Weaver/Picatinny rail compatibility accepts standard scope rings
• 4-inch rail length accommodates scopes from 3-9x up to compact tactical optics
• Maintains rifle's 4.5-pound weight balance for young shooters
• Includes stainless steel mounting hardware and thread locker

Field testing demonstrates this mount maintains zero through 500+ rounds of .22 LR ammunition across temperature variations from 15°F to 95°F. The low-profile design clears bolt operation while providing 0.75 inches of scope clearance above the receiver. Hunters report consistent accuracy improvements when transitioning from iron sights to 4x scopes mounted on this platform.
