In the realm of survival rifles, few can rival the Chiappa Little Badger in terms of compactness and utility. Designed with both practicality and portability in mind, this firearm is available in two calibers: .22 LR and .22 WMR. The key to its versatility lies in its break-open single-shot action, which allows it to fold down to a mere 17 inches overall length when not in use—a feature that makes it an ideal companion for any adventurer.
At a feather-light weight of just 2.9 pounds, the Little Badger boasts a wire frame stock that minimizes heft while maintaining functionality. This design includes an integrated shell holder capable of storing twelve cartridges, ensuring you have ammunition readily accessible at all times.
The rifle's precision is enhanced by M1 Carbine style front and rear sights, providing reliable targeting capability right out of the box. Moreover, Chiappa has equipped this model with Picatinny rails on all sides—top, bottom, left, and right—just forward of the receiver. These rails are perfect for mounting optics or other accessories according to your needs.
Adding further value is an optional handle/cleaning kit combination accessory that conveniently screws into the bottom of the receiver—a thoughtful touch for those who prioritize maintenance on-the-go.
Finished with a Desert Sand Cerakotee coating on its 16.5-inch barrel and fore-end quad Picatinny rail setup; whether you're trekking through dense wilderness or planning for emergency preparedness scenarios—the Chiappa Little Badger stands as a testament to efficient design meeting rugged capability.
