Chiappa Firearms Double Badger Chia 500.097 Doubl Badgr 22Lr/410 19 Wd

The Chiappa Double Badger is a break-action, over-under rifle that gives you two calibers in one compact package: .22 LR on top and .410 shotgun on the bottom. At 19 inches with an overall length of 36 inches and weighing just 5.5 pounds, this is a true backpack gun—lightweight enough for a day hike into varmint country or small-game hunting, yet versatile enough to handle both rifle and shotgun duties. The Double Badger's wire-frame design keeps weight minimal without sacrificing the durability you need in the field.

Break-action simplicity means no levers, no complexity—you crack the action open, load a round of .22 or a .410 shell, close, and you're ready. The matte black steel barrel and semi-gloss beech wood furniture give it a clean, no-nonsense look. Fiber optic front sight and adjustable rear sight let you dial in shots quickly, and the threaded barrel opens up options for suppressors or other muzzle devices if you want them.

This is a gun for shooters who value versatility and portability over capacity. Varmint hunters, plinkers, and small-game hunters all find a home with the Double Badger. It's the kind of rifle you grab when you're not sure what you'll encounter and you want to travel light.
