The Chiappa Little Badger Desert Sand .22 LR Folding Rifle (Chiappa part no. 500.255) finishes the popular takedown Little Badger platform in a desert sand color, matching its compact, foldable frame to a field-ready look. It’s a hammer-fired, break-action single shot built around a threaded 16.5-inch barrel, with adjustable sights that let a shooter dial in a genuine zero rather than relying on a fixed bead. The skeletonized takedown design folds flat, making it a natural fit for a pack, vehicle, or emergency kit.
