I have (had) both for my kids. We ended up selling the Crickett. Savage has a nicer trigger, easier for a kid to load and in my situation, the Savage was a bit more accurate. With the Crickett we got their scope, it sat about 4" above the barrel, looked as odd as it shot. The Crickett also had the plunger style cocking device, more times than not little fingers would get snagged in it, creating a whole new kind of flinch.
I also heard there was an accident with a small child in the states with a Crickett, and the company all but disappeared after that, have not followed up on it though.
Crickett, at the time of our purchase, had some very cool offers and clothing for kids, from ear protection to youth glasses/cases and other apparel to make them feel included.
