Little Badger - WOW

Yes I love them. They are hated by some but I say they are my favorite 22 of all time. Simple to clean, simple to shoot. Accurate as he'll. I lost count at 50 squirrels mostly head or neck shots.
 
i got me two of them little suckers now, 22lr and 22wmr, , i always have one in the pack when i`m hunting, cci stingers and and the grouse fall, love it!! , my buddies think i`m nuts , but i love those little things haha
 
its hard to argue with results.

i had to laugh the day i was shooting subsonics and quiet's through mine, i could actually SEE the bullet arcing down to the target through the scope.
ive never seen that before, made me laugh.
 
The 17hmr ones are fantastic too. Its a shame I had to have one ordered from the US because a certain Canadian importer is dragging their feet on importing them. if you get a chance to get one I highly recommend it!

Buddy laughed at me once when I took it out at the range, but he wasn't laughing at the accuracy and price.

I was hitting a 200 yard 8'' gong with mine in 22lr, consistently. And its a breeze to clean. I don't recommend using bare lead rounds in them though, or any 22 for that matter. Gums up with lead too easily.
 
Great little rifle, but just noticed something. Cabelas has been out of stock online, and all of their locations for over a week already. As well, they even dropped the 22 WMR off the drop down list. Was this a quick sale thing for them and no longer getting them in?

The market is for sure there for it in 17hmr. Its too bad they haven't been imported.

There was a batch imported this year. There are more online if you google it... mostly sold out unfortunately.


I went with the 22lr. Installed a LongShot rail topped with a cheap Barska 2.5x20. I chose it for the low power and longer eye relief... only problem with the Barska is the weight. 10oz!!!. Will eventually get a lighter scope with a bit more power. Too bad a Weaver V3 is tough to find in Canada. Would be perfect for it.

Ive got a 17hmr and i like it so far except for the needing two hits to set off the primer. Might just be the brass because i haven't tried any other brand of ammo.
