Found something interesting today

[Wild Deuce]

Came across this today at the LGS ... Chiappa Little Badger. Found it interesting.

I hope this isn't a dupe .... took a look around and the only mention was on a Bradis Guns announcement.

Hmmmm. what were they asking for it??

 

[Dirtebiker]

Details man, details! How much? Where?

 

[williamnewman1]

hmmm, ......this rifle just leaves me confused , not sure if i even like it

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

It looks weird for sure but does it shoot well for the price? The inventors must have had a SHTF design in mind.

The piece of rail behind the trigger guard is a neat idea. Let's you add a vertical grip if so desired. Definitely SHTF meets Tacticool. The poo would be hitting the fan big time with a break action single shot!

 

[Wild Deuce]

Sorry ... I'm pretty sure they were asking $189 (could have been $199). It was at Blythe's in Griffith, IN. The link I provided to Bradis Guns has it listed at $179.

It felt solid and locked up tight. Even with the rails, it felt as minimalist as it looks. The sights caught my interest. I was wondering if they were simple number graduations or really meant for 300 yard shots.

Kinda reminds one of the o/u M6 survival rifle from yesteryear. Those came in 22Hornet over 410 , folded and hd ammo stowage space in the buttstock. Actual Air Force issue models had a shorter barrel than the commercial version by Springfield Armory seen below.

Interesting concept, would like to see one in a 22 mag.

It is intriguing. About $170 at Kentucky Gun Company.

A local shop around me had a couple of these. The owner of the shop liked them so well that he kept one for himself. Actually shot very accurate. Cool little rifles.

It looks like it might be threaded?

ooh. Video. I just watched and it IS threaded. I like this.

 

[BogWalker]

Definitely interesting at that price point.

Cheap price, ugly as home-grown sin, looks as comfortable as a barbed-wire bed.

Price is the only virtue I see here.

A Henry's .22 Mare's Leg would be a better back pack gun. They are quite convenient and are accurate when shot with a cheek weld on the short stock.

If you want a long gun, go for a .22/.410 over/under.

I like the looks of this little rifle, a very simple and light design nice

 

[danielson]

Hmm, sealed breech, plus supressor, equals great SHTF gun..

 

[Hoosier8]

I don't know, I have one of those Henry Survival Rifles and it does not sound much different than the silenced Chiappa and packs smaller and floats and is semi-auto.

Says it is available in 22 mag.
