Don't have the Rascal, primarily because I tried shouldering it at a gun shop and... Well... It's for little people. Pretty awkward.
I've run hundreds of rounds through my Badger since I picked it up over a year ago, and it was hell on the gophers last year, because it was easy to throw onto the dash of the gator while I was toodling around my uncle's place helping him with chores. Considering I only used it for quick "opportunity" shots, still managed to get a few dozen with it. I found it a little tough to be accurate past 25 yards or so, but that's the shooter, not the rifle.
Extraction was pretty easy. The extractor pulls out the shell enough that a quick flick with your thumbnail completes the job. I got pretty quick about reloading after a while. I did cover the wire stock with cloth cammo tape, because I was actually using it for plinking in Feb. while it was still cold out, and was not fond of the way the metal wanted to freeze to my cheek. I put rail covers around the bottom 3/4's of the pic rail fore end and wrapped the whole thing in more cloth tape, which gives it a nicer grip on the fore end.
This year's addition to the collection for easy to pack .22s (well,
one of this year's additions, I seem to be developing a minor collection) it the Marlin Papoose. Semi auto, easy to scope, assembles quickly, and I'm surprised at how easy to point and accurate it is. Maintains zero between barrel installs. And a base one goes for about $150-$180 depending on where you get it and whether or not it's on sale.
Haven't taken it to the gopher patch yet, but I've been having a gas plinking with it.
