It’s also superb for clearing live catch traps as it’s so easy to fold up and store, as well as carry discreetly for house calls to chicken owners who have caught ‘visitors’ that they are unsure how to deal with. I actually found a PARD 008 was a pretty much perfect fit over the rear sight and I do intend to do some rabbiting further down the line with this rifle.

I got to grips with the rear peephole and front blade on paper before Raytrade supplied an Aimpoint for a slightly easier life. Small scopes, red dots or even night vision are simple enough to fix in place with the correct mounts, which need to be high enough to keep the optic above the rear sight. Back down the barrel you next meet a four-way Picatinny style mount, again in polymer for accessories. The thread has a tight polymer cap, and once off shows well-cut smooth steel right up to the shoulder ahead of the blade foresight. The 14.6mm diameter barrel is 420mm/16.5' long and screwcut ½'x28 tpi for a moderator, which I happened to have in the form of a DPT end-of-barrel unit. Whether used as a fast-handling gun to keep in the cab around the farm or a fun plinking rifle, the Little Badger definitely offers no frills service with a very honest reputation. 22 WMR I asked for the latter version simply because it seems to encapsulate the perfect use for the rifle – a tool to do a job. I do love an unusual rifle and Chiappa’s Little Badger is definitely that. Chris Parkin explores something a little different in this test and review of the Chiappa Little Badger in 22 WMR.
