Chiappa - Double Badger .22 mag & .410 - Questions

[ronecol]

Wondering if anyone has experience with this firearm, ie. quality, reliability, accuracy. Thinking of it's use as a trapper's firearm, .22 for dispatch & .410 slug if encountering an aggressive bear?

Any comments / views will be appreciated.

Bought one for my daughter. Accuracy wise, both the magnum and shot barrels shot to point of aim for her at 25 yards. We had a fruitless season afield this year so no grouse were taken with the gun. One thing I had to do was loosen the action screw a couple of turns as it quickly became a Herculean task to open and close the gun; impossible for her and very tiring for me. It's simple and robust enough for a 12 year old, so I imagine it would hold up well enough for your needs.
