I just saw a Chiappa Little Badger at Elwood Epps hunting store. It had just came in and was so new that it wasn't in their system yet, sot they didn't have pricing. Has anyone else seen it yet? What kind of pricing? Forum retailers, feel free to pipe in.

I just saw this at Reliable Gun in Vancouver yesterday too... The guy showed it to me and said it's a couple hundred bucks (but don't quote me on that). If I hadn't just spent so much on a 10/22, I would've picked one up for kicks... They look like a fun little gun.

Actually, come to think of it, I also got to take a look at a .50 BMG they had sitting on the counter too... That thing's a beast. I think it would be funny to compare the size of the Little Badger to one of those...
 
2 arrived yesterday at the gun store I work at. Neat little guns, that's for sure. They've even got a piece going across the skeletonized stock to hold the .22 LR shells.

Our retail price is $169.99 so I'm assuming other retailers are somewhere around there.
 
Price seems pretty good - not much else out there for $169 (although I did just buy a takedown Norinco ATD .22 semi auto, new, from a dealer, for $169). It might make a good last-ditch, subsistence-hunting, SHTF backpack gun.

Yeah, personally I think I'd prefer a takedown semi over this single shot, at least for the price... It seemed nice, but I didn't play around with it long enough to figure out how to take it down, and the single-shot might get old quick. Only nice thing is the extra storage on the stock for ammunition, but you've still gotta pull them out and load them after each shot...
 
Damn, I shouldn't have go to gun store, I played that little badger for a bit, very nice little gun. Ask the clerk to bring two pack up for me, one for my wife and for me. By the time, he went to pack up, another clerk hand me the Rossi ranch hand in .357 mag for 440 $, I couldn't resist, I cancel the little badger and grab the Rossi hand instead.

My opinion about this little badger, since it's a single shot, it might get bored very fast. At the end of the stock, it has plastic .22lr holder. It won't break down in two piece basically you simply unload and fold it down unfortunately due to its design, you can't fold it completely like Sub 2000, the trigger guard and reload lever will on its way, the front rail will stop there. It's kinda awkward. The front sight is plastic as well the rear sight, it build very sold, no play at all. You can mount pistol grip on it but you will need something accept 20 mm rail like vertical grip for AR.

I will go pick it up once I have more coin. My local has it for 159 $.
 
Not bad... It would be nice if we could have it with the silencer, but that's a whole other story.

I wonder if you could take out the screw connecting the two halves and replace it with some sort of pin with a retaining clip/cotter pin on the side... That would at least allow you to fully take-down the rifle for storage. Or, modifying the stock so it folds, and installing the pistol grip...
