Chiappa Little Badger | .22 LR | 16.5″ Barrel | 500092

The Chiappa Little Badger is an ultra-light, packable break-open rifle chambered in .22 LR with a 16.5-inch threaded barrel and a folding wire-frame stock that incorporates a cartridge holder. It is designed for low-weight carry, simple operation and straightforward field use; the rifle includes Picatinny rails for mounting optics or accessories and ships with a nylon carry bag. A reliable, affordable rimfire option, it suits activities such as varmint/ small-game field use and range plinking.

For optics, a compact low-power variable like the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 provides flexible magnification for target work and small-game shots while staying well under $1,000. A red-dot or low-power prism optic also pairs well for fast target acquisition in a lightweight setup.
