Rimfire enthusiasts are getting a treat this month with the announcement of Keystone Sporting Arms’ new KSA2190 Overlander Pack Rifle chambered in .22LR! This new single-shot bolt-action rifle builds off of the reliable and simple Crickett action and adds a bunch of neat, modular features that make it better suited to be a survival or pack rifle. Over on The Rimfire Report, we’ve been cycling through all of the different types of rimfire survival rifles for review, and this one is certainly one I’d love to add to the list.

The NEW 22LR Overlander Pack Rifle from Keystone Sporting Arms

This move shouldn’t come as such a surprise for those that are familiar with the Keystone Sporting Arms lineup. The Crickett platform in particular has been used in the past to create several unique types of rifles ranging from dedicated youth models to miniature-sized replicas of Soviet bolt-action rifles. The New KSA2190 Overlander Pack Rifle incorporated modern lightweight materials and a unique chassis that has been drilled and tapped to accept Crickett and Crickettinny Scope Mounts for those that want to use an optic with their Overlander.

The threaded bolt handle, threaded barrel, and drilled and tapped chassis are all features that I’m starting to like on survival rifles as it adds a lot of customization right out of the box. There is a sling stud mount on the underside of the rifle’s chassis but no corresponding mount on the rear of the rifle’s stock which features the carbon fiber storage tube. Keystone Sporting Arms has said that they are now accepting both wholesaler and dealer orders, so if you’re interested in picking one up you should speak to your local KSA dealer. You can expect to pay around $379 for the KSA2190 according to Keystone. For more information, you can visit www.keystonesportingarmsllc.com.
