Chiappa little badger can be had for less than half the price and has caliber options other than .22LR.
The chiappa little badger is an accident waiting to happen. I have one, and when I handed it to a friend who happens to be an NRA Certified instructor, professional firearms trainer, lifelong shooter etc, he closed the action and the rifle put one right into the dirt.
Here is the video he made, and the rifle in the video is mine. The Chiappa little badger is a complete and utter piece of crap and it's a safety hazard to anyone around it. I sent mine back into the factory and when it came back it's got light primer strikes in addition to firing off a round when the action gets closed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MJfIZWzHp4
Those youtube comments were harsh - everyone talking about not having any problems and Russ doesn't know what he's talking about. Until they have an ND.
I wish Savage would make their shotgun/rifle available in 12ga or at least 20ga.
