The Chiappa Little Badger TDX is a break-action .22 LR rifle built for shooters who value compact, lightweight performance without compromise. At just 1.5 pounds, this carbon fiber–shrouded takedown rifle is a genuine backpacker's choice—perfect for small game hunting, plinking, survival kits, or teaching new shooters the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship. Its 16.5-inch barrel and folding design make it easy to stash in a pack or vehicle, yet it delivers the accuracy and reliability you'd expect from a centerfire-class gun at .22 LR cost and report.

What sets the Little Badger TDX apart is its purposeful design for mobility. The wire steel stock and alloy frame keep weight minimal, while the carbon fiber shroud adds durability and a touch of modern aesthetics. Manual feed and single-shot operation mean you'll load one round at a time—a deliberate choice that forces discipline and is ideal for controlled hunting or range work where speed isn't the goal. The break-open action is intuitive: point, aim, fire, extract, reload. No complexity, no margin for user error.

Safety-conscious shooters will appreciate the half-cock hammer design, which serves as a manual safety when the gun is at rest. Black finish on the steel barrel and frame resists corrosion during field use. This is a rifle for minimalists and adventurers—hunters pursuing rabbits or squirrels in rough country, backyard target shooters, or anyone building a lightweight survival kit that actually works. If you want to travel light without sacrificing rifle capability, the Little Badger TDX delivers.
