The Chiappa Little Badger is a break-action .17 HMR rifle built for hunters, ranchers, and outdoors people who need a lightweight, packable shooter that doesn't compromise on utility. At just 2.9 pounds and 31 inches long, this gun folds down small enough to strap to a pack, toss in a truck, or stow in a bug-out kit—yet it delivers the accuracy and reliability you expect from a dedicated rimfire. Chambered in .17 HMR, it's ideally suited for varmint control, small-game hunting, and ranch work where precision and portability matter equally.
The Little Badger's break-open action is straightforward and rugged: manual extraction, half-cock hammer safety, and a single-stage trigger keep the design simple and field-friendly. The 16.5-inch barrel is threaded (1/2x28 TPI), so you can add a suppressor or muzzle device if your local laws and hunting situation call for it. Up top, you get a fiber-optic front sight and adjustable rear sight, giving you a functional iron-sight picture right out of the box—no optics needed, though the quad Picatinny forend gives you the option to mount glass or accessories if you want them.
Built from alloy and steel with a blued finish, the Little Badger is designed to handle field use without pretense. The wire-steel folding frame keeps weight down, and the integral ammo holder means you're carrying your reload without extra gear. Whether you're stalking coyotes, dispatching ground squirrels, or keeping a truck gun handy for unexpected opportunities, the Little Badger balances practicality and accuracy in a package that won't wear you out during a long day in the field.
