Chiappa Little Badger

[paulg]

I bought one of these last year to throw in the truck. It comes with a flimsy back pack type case but it does the job of protecting the little shooter from getting banged up in the truck. I wouldn't depend on it for serious backpacking trips. It folds up in a neat little package. Now if you put a red dot type optic on it, which I did and removed it because you can't fold it up enough to fit in the case. This little thing is accurate and surprisingly easy to shoulder for clean shooting. It comes with M1 type peep sights that are very functional and plenty of adjustment for various ammo. The little thing is very well made. Nothing flimsy about it despite the appearance. The best part is it has a very, VERY good trigger. I'd guess about 4.5-5 pounds maybe but it is very crisp and right there when you need it. You have to be sure of your target before laying your finger on that trigger. It is hammer fired and the hammer spring is strong enough to bust any rim it drops on. It's simple, strong and plenty accurate enough for any small game hunting you want to do. Put a dot or scope on it and you can really reach out there with it. I'm gonna buy another this year in .22 magnum. That's how much I like them.
