Chiappa Little Badger Black Matte .22 LR Folding Rifle

The Chiappa Little Badger Black Matte .22 LR Folding Rifle (Chiappa part no. 500.092) is a compact, break-action single shot built to fold in half for easy storage in a backpack or truck, making it a favorite for backcountry use, survival kits, and truck-gun duty. Chiappa built the action around a threaded 16.5-inch barrel and a hammer-fired break-open design that’s simple to operate and easy to keep clean. Its skeletonized takedown frame keeps weight low while adjustable sights let a shooter dial in a real zero instead of relying on a fixed bead.
