Chiappa Little Badger Survival Rifle **FULL REVIEW** by RACKNLOAD

[@donnk]

its very beautifully minimalistic. I reckon it'll be great as a first gun for kids too

[@matthewsimonds1707]

I like mine. It is in .17hmr. shoots great. They also make one in .22 mag and 9 mm flobert

[@mdh6977]

I own quite a number of rifles and shotguns... I love my little badger, I agree about great for a new/young shooter... a lot of fun for the price... got mine new for $160 here in Canada and I feel I got better than what I paid for

[@scriptguru8]

Chiappa Little Mammal. Brilliant! Great review, thank you!

[@racknload]

Thanks for watching!

[@vincentking9980]

Thanks heaps for your Practical advice/review!

[@timothylaverdiere629]

Right from the start i love this little rifle! It looks small and a good challange to shoot! I have barely watched past the begining this is amazing

[@racknload]

+Jago2170 It's a great little rifle. Atb, Rack

[@jafiwam]

I have one of these things and love it. The sights on mine were WAAAY off and can't really be adjusted far enough to work. I put a red-dot sight on it and have it hitting dead on now. Also, the little ammo holder doesn't hold all of the brands of ammo I tried in it. If you put another sight on it, then it won't fit in the little pack that comes with it anymore. I use a bigger bag for it that holds ammo, ear and eye protection as well as targets and a first aid kit. Scored my first two kills with it helping my dad remove woodchucks from under his barn foundation last weekend.

[@KevinCGleason]

Wrapped mine in 550 paracord, love it.

[@TheCaptainsStuffThings]

Immediately thought "Duuude, I want one!" when I seen it :D

[@Xellos14]

I've wanted one of these ever since I saw one at the local gunshop that was in for repairs. It was in a rough vehicle accident so I didn't take it as a mark against the rifle itself, but I just love the look.

[@juliogonzo2718]

That is why I never let my firearms drive

[@doubleutubefan5]

Paid $189.99 for mine. I bought one with the scope attached. 4x20 fixed power. It runs great but unfortunately the scopes elevation turret seems to be off Also I'm sad I didn't get a bag with mine

[@gr8sl8m8]

chiappa has come out with some really interesting things lately. thanx for showing the cool .22 survival rifle. i see it has threads on the muzzle... hmmmm.. however i really like the over under. shot gun ald most other ammo.. it comes with adaptor tubes for various calibres.

[@thebes83]

I just ordered the 22 mag version and can’t wait to shoot it.

[@darkfoxbill9657]

I would love to see a "Big Bear" version chambered in something substantial. Ideally 45.70. If i could have that I would never go bacpacking without it. (actually this is another one of those where they really should have just made it easy to swap barrels then sold a barrel for every caliber under the sun.)

[@boface187]

check out the x caliber by chiappa

[@fatbikejamie]

Have you seen the X-Caliber?

[@darkfoxbill9657]

+Jamie Smith Is the xcaliber not just more insert adapter bullshit?

[@jafiwam]

Yes. Not for the Little Badger though. That is for the M6-22 clone, a different but similar firearm.

[@bestpapertowelintown9008]

I want one with a .410 barrel underneath

[@JohnnieShooter]

16:44 Two seconds of tension...and here comes big reveal: BACKPACK :D :D

[@jarkoer]

Yes, definitely pass on the pistol grip. It's made of cheap flimsy plastic and feels strange in the hand. I bought one, and I keep it in my pocket just for the cleaning kit. For a .22 caliber survival rifle at that price, I think it's quite good for what it's made for. The adjustable rear sight and crisp trigger are great, and the threaded barrel and the rails offer a lot of good options. I hate that front sight, though.

[@greenlawnfarm5827]

You like the plastic rear sight and plastic rails?

[@MylesNicholas]

Taking off the bottom rail should make even smaller when folded.

[@gr8sl8m8]

+Myles Nicholas if it comes off i agree.

[@mohamedfaroukbalouli7809]

who would hate it . it's lovely

[@GunCollector007]

looks great. I have to get one now.

[@racknload]

They are great fun...

[@bellakaldera3305]

A friend has a "Double Badger" and it is a nice gun, though I prefer my Savage 24 .22/.410.

[@unab84]

As a fishing gun, to finish off big fishs that would be uneasy/dangerous to fight Inside a small boat... Have the barrel cut and a pistol grip installed and tada!

[@z3r833]

This was posted on my birthday :)

[@gettitnow3785]

I'll Waite for the 556 version

[@TheNickathome]

These guns are great but they're not as light as you'd think. My Henry AR 7 is slightly lighter than the little badger. A bit of advice, use a ranger band or some other type of system to hold the extra ammo into that ammo holder. It doesn't hold very well and you will be surprised to learn that your ammo has escaped if you carry the rifle around such as when hunting. I learned this the hard way one time on a squirrel hunt when I looked at the ammo holder and found a couple rounds had jumped ship. .

[@herculesrockefeller2984]

Really? The Henry is lighter? I was about to replace my ar7 in my backpack with one of these, but not if the badger is heavier. Bummer, thanks for the info

[@greenlawnfarm5827]

And the little badger is made of pot metal. The sights, rails, and thread protector are plastic. It is a nice gun for a 3 year old tho.

[@8Jory]

Hercules Rockefeller I'd still take a metal wire frame stock over an abs plastic stock. plus there are fewer components to take care of, and thus fewer things that can go wrong. not that the ar7 is unreliable, just risk reduction so to speak.

[@enorytall9919]

is what reality is 3.5 LB heavier than 3, Because the henry at 7 is 3.5 lbs and the chiappa is 3lbs

[@brigond1]

interesting, the 22 magnum version I own says Little Badger . Bought in the US.

[@kylegump2069]

I love mine always get more questions about it then anything else mines chambered in .17hmr

[@yorhedasplode5501]

you can get a .17 HMR one too

[@AllodialTitle]

I wouldn't mind one in .44 magnum.

[@Zefferum]

I much prefer the US breakdown rim fire. it looks like it packs down more compact, has capacity for 2 5 round mags in the packed up rifle and is semi auto. also legal in the UK 🇬🇧

[@Zefferum]

ok I just checked. it's called the AR7 and has already been mentioned lots

[@scriptguru8]

@@Zefferum AR7 is a famous rifle, but the stock is very thick. Take a look at Marlin Pappoose - it's 22LR take down semi-auto as well, very light, but has better ergonomics IMO. With better sights (I've used Williams fiber optic sights) it's very accurate.

[@echoesofthedead]

racknload: thanks for the video. great job, as usual. the point of shooting a little rifle like this is: it is not the amount of rounds you put down range as fast as you can, but how much fun you can have while shooting. if a rifle like this can make a shooter smile, and let them have fun, well then why not? why not shoot it? and smile while you're doing it? yeah there are modifications that people have and will do to this rifle, but either way, it is fun to shoot, and fairly cheap to boot. i'm picking mine up in .17hmr, soon. are there mods i am going to do to this rifle? sure. are the mods gonna be extensive? no. but that's something i'd LIKE to do. whether i do them or not...well, that's my choice. but at the end of the day, i'm still gonna smile, just at the sheer fun of shooting little holes in paper, tin cans, 2-liters, or whatever i choose to shoot at that day on the range. and after all, when all is said and done, isn't having fun what shooting sports are all about anyway? and as always: semper fi, carry on!!

[@racknload]

+John Hattabaugh Cheers buddy! Couldn't of said it better myself, it's just a fun gun to shoot. There is a written review of this rifle that I did that's in this month's Shooting Sports Magazine. Atb, Rack

[@Slay_No_More]

It wouldn't be my first choice since I'm spoiled by the stuff we have in the states lol.

[@adventure3114]

I want to buy and have it delivered home, what is the price and shipping cost?

[@smashie2000]

Hmmm looks like I'm going to fill another slot on my ticket. Looks like a lot of fun.

[@racknload]

+smashie2000 Don't blame me lol! ATB, Rack

[@racknload]

As many as you want as long as you have good reason and storage for them.....

[@jrdirty4797]

Are threaded 30/31cm barrels available for it, or could you get an RFD to chop and thread it for you?

[@greenlawnfarm5827]

The gun is like $200 so you would spend money to redo the threads?

[@danielross5292]

I don't mind it at all it would be great for Hunting for small Game like Rabbits!

[@mrwagman]

What I want to know is, is it a great little rifle????

[@racknload]

Sold it lol!

[@desantos1234]

I'd have the 9mm as it's single action

[@blizte3]

can this have the 3 barrels for it switched 22lr 22mag 17 hmr?

[@gerrigamble4950]

I like it

[@ABCDEFGHIJKELA...]

hair..in the barrel, GET IT!

[@av0-cad03]

I'm pretty sure you can use a Magpul forgrip or some other grip instead of that tube.

[@imbadwrench]

+Takasuka Curtis Too wide, Chiappa rail is too skinny for any unmodified grip

[@av0-cad03]

imbadwrench oh

[@imbadwrench]

theres a page called the little badger project on facebook. there is a how to for modifying a grip to work.

[@EZink69]

Hi rack n load I'm new to shooting and I've been helping on a farm with pest control,I've been looking at getting my own little rifle would I need a license to own one of these in the uk and does it shoot pellets and how would I be able to buy one , any info would be great thanks 😉👍

[@racknload]

+MrEVILSPUDDY This is a rimfire rifle and requires an FAC in the UK. You need the land cleared for it, check with your county police force.

[@EZink69]

RACKNLOAD hi thanks for info RACKNLOAD Is there any none fac rifles that look like this

[@sharonw8988]

I like that gun

[@davidnichols1568]

Interesting'

[@joefoster5219]

Little Badger, Little Squirrel? Actually if you look at the markings this one is a Little Rabbit!

[@longshotmanufacturing]

Some accessories for this gun are in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWXchIajZpudq6c

[@FoneStar78]

They're cool little guns for what they are and what they cost. But their shortcommings kind of leave me wanting an M6 Survival. * The rear aperature sight wobbles all over and feels like it will break off * The rails are all plastic and are too close to mount things on (had to replace mine) * The hex screws on the rails will strip if you breathe on them. * Super short stock makes it uncomfortable for extended plinking sessions * Hard to find a hammer spur wide enough for this hammer, had to modify mine On the plus side, mine's super accurate with sub sonic ammo and is probably tough enough to live a long time if you're not taking it apart often to change things.

[@TheNickathome]

+Fone Star An M6 will set you back about $700, a little badger, maybe $180. If you can afford an M6, go for it. I can't

[@smirkystirky7103]

any chance you could link me to that bracelet you are wearing?

[@racknload]

+Smirky Stirky I very reviewed it so check out video. They are available on Amazon it's a Leatherman Tread.

[@smirkystirky7103]

+RACKNLOAD aright thanks gonna look at your video now

[@asssface2000]

[@iamnotaherobrittanyriley2896]

有没有拆卸分解基亚帕小獾的视频呀

[@racknload]

+Brittany Riley Yep.

[@crzmirror2577]

were did you get it from and what price

[@racknload]

+Keanon Holmes Livens gun shop in the UK (Staffs) £170

[@crzmirror2577]

I'm from Stafford

[@crzmirror2577]

Not a bad gun

[@av0-cad03]

can that shoot all of the sizes of .22 LR?

[@gr8sl8m8]

+Takasuka Curtis a .22 long can shoot shorts and up to lr but not magnum... a .22 magnum can shoot anything .22 all sizes

[@av0-cad03]

sgt. Nickel cool

[@hallmonkey8325]

Why buy this when you can get an AR-7 with an (8) round mag, disassembles to a smaller size than think and it's lighter...

[@herculesrockefeller2984]

True. The only reason I can see is if you want a different caliber than .22lr

[@58mjhodgson]

Why are u wearing hearing protection for a .22 ?

[@racknload]

+mike hodgson Using hv and was transitioning from shotgun, rifle...

[@paulman1970]

The correct pronunciation is kee-oppa.

[@tomickes409]

for my 11-year-old daughter as a training gun.......

[@racknload]

Or maybe a Marlin Papoose..

[@sekhotolohe7309]

Chiapas wats the prize?????

[@dougdunlap6638]

,what's not to like

[@NGMonocrom]

I love the designs. Including this one. But the execution and build quality is so piss poor, they're not worth it.

[@donaldcho21]

lol starts out exactly like nutnfancy review

[@racknload]

Does it? A graphic that shatters then an animated bullet....

[@donaldcho21]

+RACKNLOAD lol u no wat i mean. cool vid tho

[@rixsta1256]

endless customisation options. wish I could own fac 😡

[@dreamcrusher-mkv2346]

Was it so hard for chiappa to put a spring loaded ejector?

[@varanthe8th609]

Dreamcrusher - MKV probably because you don’t want to lose the round in case you don’t fire it

[@dreamcrusher-mkv2346]

Varan the 8th you can catch it but 22 is so cheap it really doesn't matter. My Stevens model 94 (single shot 20 gauge) has a spring loaded ejector and it's great. Another down side to this gun is you have to break it open fully to extract the casing which greatly increases the amount of time to do a follow up shot.

[@varanthe8th609]

Dreamcrusher - MKV I agree, that is a big downside. It’s a very, very simple mechanism and that’s part of the appeal. It allows little room for mechanical failure and makes it very small and lightweight. I personally might buy one because I hunt and I never expect to fire a second shot unless the animal is wounded and is dying. In that case, loading another shot wouldn’t be a problem.

[@tuduytu1834]
