Chiappa Little Badger 22LR 16.5″ Single Shot Desert Sand Folding

The Chiappa Little Badger is an ultra-compact, break-open single-shot rifle engineered for extreme portability and straightforward function. Chambered in .22 LR with a 16.5″ barrel and a minimal wire-frame stock, the Little Badger collapses and disassembles to a very small footprint while retaining practical sighting options, accessory mounting, and a simple, dependable action. Its lightweight design and modular features make it an adaptable choice where simplicity, packability, and low weight are priorities.

Designed for Packability and Simplicity

• Break-open, single-shot action with a folding/compact profile — when folded or with the action open it stows to roughly 17″ overall length, allowing easy transport and storage.

• Minimal wire-frame stock with integrated shell holder keeps overall weight extremely low while providing on-gun cartridge storage (holds up to 12 rounds).

• Picatinny rails top, bottom and on both sides forward of the receiver give straightforward mounting options for optics, lights, and other accessories.

Built for Practical Use

• M1 Carbine–style front and rear sights provide a rugged, familiar sight picture straight from the factory.

• Threaded barrel allows for muzzle accessories where permitted.

• Optional handle/cleaning kit accessory threads into the bottom of the receiver to add a compact carry/cleaning solution.

Construction and Finish

• Cerakote desert sand finish resists corrosion and blends with outdoor gear.

• Ambidextrous handling characteristics due to the simple single-shot layout and reversible mounting orientation.

• Included backpack/case enables convenient transport and storage without adding bulk.
