Chiappa Little Badger Folding Rifle | 22LR | 16.5in

The Chiappa Little Badger is a compact, folding single-shot rifle chambered in 22LR intended as a lightweight, easily packed utility rifle. It folds for compact storage and features a 16.5-inch threaded barrel and a wire steel stock with an integrated shell holder. The design emphasizes simplicity and portability for informal range use, plinking, and small-game field use. A compact low-power optic such as the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 pairs well with this rifle and stays well under $1000, giving clear sight picture without adding undue bulk.

Its folding design and threaded barrel make it a practical choice for recreational plinking, small-game hunting, or as a minimal, packable utility rifle. The quad Picatinny section accepts a small bipod or light accessories while the adjustable M1-style rear sight allows basic iron-sight zeroing.
