Hot damn, I got this rifle today and can already pop 2in groups

>>28628406
Nice how much was it? How is the recoil with that stock?

>>28628406
sweeeeet, what is the gun?

also what is the gun sitting on top of? interesting scenery (treadplate wall, pleated surface table, etc)

>>28628406
You need to redpill everyone on it now.

Also more pictures please. I've seriously thought about getting my girlfriend one.

>>28628425

I've always wanted one in .17hmr.

>>28628545

like this?

Why bother with this?

> 2in @ 25yd is handgun tier
> Physically larger than any handgun
> Break action

It just seems like a curiosity firearm. The only reason why I'd get one is if it were exceedingly cheap, but it looks like they go for ~170, which doesn't really fit what it is.

Am I missing something?

>>28628626
>Am I missing something?

It's a prepper thing. The next best option if you can't get an M6 scout.

>>28628626
Well considering I've had the gun for 10 min at that point it ain't bad

>>28628415
Got mine for 150 plus tax, weighs fucking nothing, 2.2lbs, holds 12 on the stock. Honestly, it's a fun, cheap plinking/survival rifle.

>>28628415
The but pad plastic sits nice on the shoulder, and no recoil really, the damn trigger is very sensitive.

Chiappa little badger in 22lr, fantastic little gun with no weight. Small, compact, cheap to shoot, easy to sight in.

>>28628422
It's a grooved rubber mat at my range in Missouri, best range I've been to for the price. Call me a pussy but I'm not going to an outdoor range when it's 5degress outside if there's an indoor one the same distance.

Man, I bought one off Bud's 2 weeks ago and it finally shipped 2 days ago. As I type this it is 15 miles away in a UPS depot. Got it for $160. I'm glad I waited since I finger fucked one in my LGS and they wanted 250 dollars for one. Hopefully within 10 hours I should be firing it.

Holy fuck I picked up one of these at the ground today and can already pop 2 in groups at 25 yards.

>>28628406
Great, now you just need to wrap the stock with 50 feet of paracord and you are all set for SHTF

>>28628732
you know what, i don't even blame ya. that's cold as fuck. thanks for sharing man. i want one now

It's pretty aight.

>>28628873
lol, scope weighs 3 times gun. they look fun but what about a ruger charger?

>>28628884

That isn't really a fair comparison. They're completely different.

For what its worth, the Little Badger is easier to come up with a use aside from "range toy". I use mine for possums.

>>28628884
because ruger is fucking gay

>>28628891
they look like theyd be good for camping/backpacking. target practicing while you are in bumfuck nowhere. couple boxes of 22 wont weigh you down much

>>28628765
Like I didn't order the paracord yesterday, do you even prep bro?

>>28628919

Wouldn't a normal 10/22 takedown be just about the same size, but have the added bonus of a stock, making it infinitely more suited for target practice/small game?

>>28628406
>25 yards
nigger what I can't even tell if this is a bait thread.

i dont know, can someone who has one explain the POU? purpose of use

i get the cheap fun factor, just wondering what else you guys have in mind. like a leave in the car trunk at all times gun?

>>28628957
writing an acronym then writing out what it stands for afterwards doesn't make a lot of sense. especially when you get what it stands for wrong. fuck off, nutnfancy.

>>28628970
nutn would have actually refused to say what POU stands for and told you to watch his acronym explanation video.

>>28628936
does it look like there's no stock to you?

>>28629008

On the 22 Charger? Yes, there's no stock.

>>28629021
no one gives a fuck about ruger guns m8

ruger sucks dick

>>28629028

I feel I must have misinterpreted something said earlier.

The Little Badger is good. I like mine.

>>28628732
Where in Missouri?

>>28629003
>mfw there are actually 2 videos on all the acronyms he uses

I was about to give you shit on only managing 8MOA with it OP, but then I realized those irons must be absolute garbage.

>>28628406
Have one in 22mag can confirm is great

Well that's kinda crazy, I bought mine yesterday and was going to make a thread about it today. Cheers to you OP, love this little thing.

Only complaint? The sights sit so low and the wire stock sits high so I can barely get my eyeball low enough to even see through the peepsight, and I'm a small guy - didn't think I'd have this problem. Otherwise though? Dead accurate. Gonna grab a cheap scope for squirrel hunting. The little backpack is great for it, going to replace the velcro with maybe a magnet strip or make some kind of drop leg holster for this thing so I can store it while I keep my actual rifle in hand yet have this ready to go when the squirrels come out to play.

>ruger sucks dick

if by "sucks dick" you mean sets the gold standard of semi auto 22 rifles and pistols then I guess so.

>>28628720

wow you never see those keltec carbines anymore. forgot all about them

>>28629574
Yeah same for the sights sitting low, and I'm a skeleton. Also not a fan of them being made of plastic.

I'd change the sights for something metal and a tad higher, bu not sure how I would go about that. That is, without spending as much as I paid for the rifle itself.

>>28628897
Watch your mouth bitch

>>28628406
Any ND's on closing the action?

I read a few horror stories about that and decided it wasn't worth my money even for a tiny fun gun.

How is that stock attached to the main body? I'd only get one to make it into a stupid long barrel pistol.

>>28628415
>recoil
>on a .22

>>28630869
Thats only if you drop the hammer after opening it. When you open it, it goes half cocked by default.

>>28630885
Really deep in there with screws and the pressure of the body.

>>28629162
Near St. Louis, range in Arnold.

>>28628936
Mags can fail, weighs more, needs more maintainance. Don't get me wrong I love my 10/22 but both guns serve a different purpose.

Had one. It was a total pile of shit.

>everything is plastic
>trigger is spongey garbeg
>sights aren't even molded properly, rear aperture is shaped like a blob
>rear sight moves with the breeze or any slight shock
>that stupid fucking rail under the grip isn't even a standard rail that can be used for anything

That's what I get for buying a Chiappa

>>28631429
Oh, forgot to mention

>those clips that are supposed to hold cartridges
>everything goes flying off with the slightest bump

10/10 quality design here

>>28628406
It's like an oversized, exponentially less-useful SUB-2000.

>>28628406
You do realize that...

>rifle
>2in groups
>25 yards

...is nothing to be impressed by ever, and makes you sound like a serious idiot, right?

>>28631542
As an ex-Little Badger owner, I can tell you that 2" at 25 yards is quite a feat, especially with the dogshit-tier plastic sights.

>>28631559
I plan to put a cheapo red dot on there once I get the money.

They fixed the problem on the later models, the hammer is pushed to half cock when you close the action as well.

I think it has something to do with the tolerances ecause the mecanism in itself didn't change.

how does one actually hold those seems like an exposed railsections an uncomfortable grip

>>28631978
>how does one actually hold those
uncomfortably

>>28631978 a bit weird but works.
