    I own one in 22 magnum. I have a red dot on it and have the use of the pep sights. The trigger pull is outstanding. I love this little rifle.

      22LR here. I was really surprised with a few things. Trigger is excellent. I'm getting annoyed with single shot, but I put the 400th round through mine last night. Obviously with a break-barrel it's gonna be quieter, but with a suppressor, say, shooting 710FPS is like a snap of the fingers loud. Basically, if someone has a basement & appropriate mini-range, you can shush it and put 1070FPS through it all night, no one's gonna hear. But it does handle the stingers just great for actual hunting. I have a cheap pellet rifle scope on mine, but I think I'll take it off, the stock sights are plenty for the 25yd - 40yd range. I'm looking at getting a Chiappa lever action in 44wm or 45-70, and I'm researching whether people find Chiappa to be a reliable product. I want a takedown, so if I choose Chiappa over Marlin or Henry, I want to know what I'm getting.

    I got one of these a few months ago in 22LR, put about 400 rounds through it. I put an old pellet gun scope on it (Crosman 4x-9x) and it's really fun. Mine's the one that folds into a triangle, it's not takedown but it fits into a backpack folded -but the scope kind of defeats the purpose of how discreet it is. New takedown extreme allows it to be easily pulled in half & stored in a hard-shell carrier tube. I loved the 710FPS, but obviously with how quiet it is. I found it shot most accurately with 835FPS (at 30yds), but my go-to is 1070. Shot a few stingers through it (1640FPS), that's what I'd get if I were hunting or doing pest control, but subsonics are perfect for this little toy. Barrel never gets hot, obviously with single shot.
    I really agree with most pundits & reviewers - the trigger is much better than you'd think it would be. I never measured the pull, but the point is, it's not gonna be the weak point for accuracy.
    I can't believe YT decided to censor stuff like accessories, breakdowns and repairs. What an odd, arbitrary hill to hold...But yep, the threaded barrel is a real treat. With a suppressor, especially with 710FPS, you could disguise it with a cough.

    Very nice. Thanks for reviewing this gun, I didn’t know about it before seeing you shoot it.

    I prefer this version to the "bigger" wire stock version. If you're going to make a tiny rifle then make it as tiny as possible.
    I think a pistol-grip, a small optic and a tiny suppressor, make it a great true backpack survival package.
    Perhaps the AR7 semi-auto has the edge overall but I'm not so keen on 22LR semi-auto, especially subsonic with suppressor. They always seem to have feed issues.
    A bolt-action, or manual-feed, keeps things simple and reliable (2 things essential in a survival tool). My starting point for simple & reliable is a high quality small forest Hatchet.

    • @RattlesnakeDefense
      @RattlesnakeDefense  3 месяца назад +1

      You have to keep it simple, I dont think the AR7 is worth the extra size it would take up, but some kind very small takedown bolt .22 would be handy. You could doctor this rifle up and make it everything you need.

    • @OhGawdHesGotAGun

      I heard about the feed issues on semi-auto. Guy who runs my local gun store has some Derya, sounds like diarrhea, whatever, cool looking semi auto 22's, and I asked him how they work with subsonic. He claims he uses 835FPS, which I do as well in my 'Badger sometimes, and they feed reliably. Since my go-to is 1070FPS, he said I should be alright. Just don't know if he's pitching the sale or telling the truth. I'd use Stingers for any kind of pest control/hunting, but I like to be discrete.

    I have the original with the wire stock. Hard ,to ( near ) imposible to get a low enough cheak weld to line up with the rear peep sight .Took couple of partridge that way. Moded mine with a paracord barell wrap , a small camera pouch in the stock and an aimpoint . Now its SUPER FUN and useful , my grandson loves it . Ontario Canada .

      That's a great idea - I have the same, in 22LR. Good advice on those mods! I found 835FPS rounds to be extremely accurate - but my go-to for targets is 1070FPS. I'd use stingers or any other supersonic to do pest control. Friend of mine is a cop (Nova Scotia) who might or might not have let me use his silencer that he's not supposed to own. He has 40m deep range in his basement strictly for 22's. With 710FPS, like I posted above, you could disguise it with a cough! I put a scope on mine, a cheap one I got from a Crosman 'F11' pellet rifle from Canadian Tire, and it's quite accurate - but I'd rather go with the stock sights. Seems wrong to add bulk to this fun toy.
      Thanks for sharing the mod ideas.

    I am a big fan of guns like this.
    I view Gun Ownership like owning a Tool Box.
    You have hammers, screwdrivers, chisels, drill bits....etc.etc. So this Little Badger is a tool that you may never need, but how awesome is it to have it when you need it?
    This type of gun makes me happy since there is a gun smith in Chiappa or Kel Tec (sub 2000) that say, you know what? Lets tinker a bit, and think of something, and then they make it.

    • @RattlesnakeDefense
      @RattlesnakeDefense  6 месяцев назад +1

      I think that is the message that fails to reach my audience. There is a spot for high end guns in my safe, but there is also a spot for simple and cheap. I tend to reach past my custom guns for something simple when I need one.

      A little red dot on it, and you can use it nicely as a ""pest"" control rifle in a rural home on the truly cheap.

    Any idea of some better iron sights on this?
    Mine came with a broken rabbit ear on the front sight post. The company (very responsive) Is sending me a new one for free, but the idea of them breaking easily bothers me.

    • @RattlesnakeDefense
      @RattlesnakeDefense  2 месяца назад +2

      That is an interesting question and a well placed concern, I do not know of any replacement sights for this model and because of the way its made it would be very difficult to get anything to fit. You could use some kind of low profile sight on the rail, but it would be a challenge to find one small enough. Wish I could help you more.

      Depends on the purpose. For plinking I would use the 22LR, but for survival the 22 Mag would be much better. 22 Mag is capable of taking down medium game if aimed well.
