Going to Uni in a year and plan on taking a toy with me. I have

If you have some cash, either a serbu super shorty or a serbu RN50 with an 18 inch barrel. It folds up and you can carry in it your bag. You could also try a KSG or, if you're set on .22, an AR-7.

The AR-7 looks pretty cool, disassembling and all, but if I do go .22, I'd prefer magnum. The Serbu shotguns are a bit high. I'm more looking for pointers between the two rounds.

>>34822443
I would just get a ruger American rimfire or the savage equivalent. They're like $200 bolt action with built in irons. They're both available in all popular rimfire cartridge so iirc. But if you're dead set on a breachloading single shot the Chiappa seems to be a safe bet.

>>34822734
This. Ruger American .22s are cheap as shit, good quality, and probably some of the most fun one is ever gonna have with a .22 Mag bolt gun.

>>34822734
The Savage 93 is the same price as the Chippa so I don't see why I wouldn't go for the Savage, other than for length and weight. That lays that to rest. I'm assuming that .22 mag is the consensus since I've only gotten one suggestion for a 20 gauge.

>>34822930
I'm not doubting that. Ruger is an A-grade manufacturer, but there's cheaper options. Price is my main concern here.

>>34822971
Then get the savage. Also I would recommend getting it in .22lr if your only reason for .22 mag is the stigma. .22lr is half the price per round and kills paper, varmints, and people just as well inside of 150 yards or so.

The only toy you need is between your legs.

Seriously though, what >>34822734 said.

>>34823127
As an added bonus with the .22lr you can load it with cci quiet or Aguilar subsonic and plink in areas where you couldn't with a normal gun. Those rounds are only as loud as a multi pump air rifle.

Hey....

You're not wrong.

Welp you can have both.

But that's more expensive than a Little Badger and a 20 gauge combined so probably not such a good idea.

Anyway I have a little badger and love it. The main reasons are the weight and compactness. Break action guns are fun to shoot, sure they are slower than semi or even bolt actions but you don't have to fiddle with magazines so you can shoot non stop and end up burning quite a lot of ammo. The LB also lends itself well to various customization projects, look for examples on forums.

Of course any single shot 22 will be more ergonomic than the LB. Get it if you like the looks and style, bit for serious target practice I think I'd prefer more traditonally shaped rifles.


If you mainly want to plink and shoot for fun you could also get a break action 20 or 12 gauge and add a rifled .22 adapter so you can shoot 22 with it. gunadapters.com has the widest range of adapters I believe.

Good to have a Badger owner chip in. I'm not sure what you are referring to when you said ((it)) would be more expensive than both. Regardless, the LB seems to have its pros. I'm mainly looking for firearm to keep in my car, hide in my dorm, or hide on person. I guess the Badger would be the best for that.

>Looking for firearm
That meets all my requirements, of course.
Cheap.
Small.
Light.
All that jazz.

>>34823701
I was refering to the picture, it's the Chiappa M6. It has a 20 gauge barrel over a 22lr barrel, but is a bit pricy for what you get (at least according to the few reviews I've seen).

>I'm mainly looking for firearm to keep in my car, hide in my dorm, or hide on person. I guess the Badger would be the best for that.

Definitely. For the longest time I kept mine stored in the little backpack that comes with it, slung over the back of my desk chair with a jacket thrown on top. It was invisible.

The only long gun as compact as this I can think off would be the Kel Tec Sub 2000.

>>34823763
Well, I definitely came to the right place for this question. Thanks for the advice, Anon and /k/. Think the Little Badger is gonna be my next purchase.

>>34822443
22 magnum ammo prices make it pointless. get something in 5.56/223

>>34822443
>Chippa Firearms Little Badger (.22 mag)

Hm, I'd be interested in a Little Badger in 17HMR. There's plenty of ,22 mag firearms out there, far fewer in .17. As long as you're going for a mouse gun round that isn't a 10/22, take a look at the range and ballistics of the .17HMR.

don't bother

ok
You did say you wanted a toy. Why not an airgun? You'll be able to use it in your backyard.
I mean, if you're trying to not die, both a .22 and an airgun will probably not work too hot.

college is no place for fancy guns or fun guns. Only if you stay outside of school.

Get a cheap shotgun. 18" barrel and a pistol grip. Get use to shooting buck shot with it....
