Chiappa Double Badger Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 сер 2015
- The Chiappa Double Badger chambered in .22LR and .410 shotgun seems to be a good option for small game and/or survival hunting. Compact, lightweight, and the ability to fold in half add to its good accuracy and ease of use. Young and old(er) hunters alike will definitely bag a lot of game with this handy combination gun.

I just won this rifle in a raffle, great review. Thanks.
Congrats
That’s so awesome!
Chiappa make the best odd guns... it’s like kinds of guns no ask for, but definitely want.
I love how the Canadian ammo went to the left!! I’m guessing it’s produced by a government run ammo company ! LOL
I have one of these - great little guns. And great review mmatt
Great review, and great gun. I've been thinking about one for awhile, and jumped on it a few weeks ago.
I really like the handing, finish, and sights on this gun. I've found the accuracy of the .22 to be more than adequate and I'm really looking forward to bringing it along on future camping trips to supplement the fresh fish with some fresh red meat. :)
And now I know why I can't seem to keep these things in stock long enough to sneak one out to the range. They really do seem to perform as nice as they look, which is rare at the sub $300 price range. I just wish they'd finally release a .17HMR over .410 loadout.
@@arcyswopes9633 you meant 20ga
Great vid. This gun is perfect in the 20ga/22lr
Always had great results with challenger 410 ammo... cool review
I would like to see a review on the 20 guage inserts that allow for chambering pistol rounds, particularly, the 357 mag...supposedly they are available for the double badger.
That's a good idea with the shell holder
Ideal for plinking, paper targets, pest control and small to medium size game (slugs!) hunting. Also, not bad as the self defense gun... I guess, if that choke could be removed, the upper barrel would've been able to chamber 45 Long Colt too. Nice review!
Great gun, I like your editing. Just picked up the .22LR over 20Ga. model and the triggers are reverse order. It is a lot of fun as well.
I didn't realize they made a 20Ga. model! I've got a new gun on my wishlist now. :-)
Cool. Hope to see a video. You'll love that it has choke tube options as well!
Love the review. Now I want one! I've got a savage 42 in 22 mag over .410 but.. No chokes. Your starting to cost me money tho mclatchey ..
Great video.
Cutting the optic is damn clever.
Super carabine simple courte robuste , bien finie
thanks just ordered mine
How about a follow-up video on the .410 using rifled slugs.
@@kimfagerstrom3649 you can safely shoot rifled slugs through a full choke.Extra full ones are the ones you have to be careful.
Badger, we don't need no stinking Badger! 😁
Haha...just don't teach them poodles how to fly.
I like the looks of this little gun, where can i find one?
you should do a hunting video with the gun.
They should make a more skeletal one, like the Little Badger with an extra barrel.
cool gun. i want one so bad
Seriously good video.
obviously when sighted in for .22 ammo and using the peep sight the same way the shotgun patterns go left. ALL of your patterns went leftJjust sight over the top of the aperture when using the shotgun barrel. Your pattern will be slightly high but should be on windage wise
how's it holding up the use
What is the size of the weapon rail please?
Why Winchester 555 pack, if it's not super X then it's likely going to misfire with it being Winchester ammo
shot a brand new one and on the 15th .22 mag shot the firing pin was stuck out after cocking. Gun store is now having their gunsmith check if it is defective. Chiappa states his is caused from dry firing. I had not dry fired it, but I dont know if it was prior at the store, but it did shoot 14 rounds before failing. I like the gun when it worked.
Thanks for letting us know about that. Sorry to hear that it failed though. Hopefully it can be fixed quickly for you.
How is the longer range target accuracy with the .22?
чапа как всегда на высоте!
Hey could you tell me what sight you ran on the back or what you replaced the stock on with? Also crushed mine. Had replaced with an adjustable one but even all the way down its still too tall. Thanks!
+Brad Olmstead
I had an Williams peep sight laying around from a previous build that I used. If I can find the part number, I'll post it here later.
Have you tried shooting a .45 long colt thru the .410? Or the very rare .41 Special? I do it all the time during deer season, but they have to be close. 30 or 40 yards, as the bullet is swigged down to a .41 caliber and sort of tumbles. The 22/410 is a great all around food gun, but having the ability to shoot a .45 LC as a backup is great. I killed a couple of wild hogs over the years that would have eaten me, if they had the upper hand!!
No I haven't tried that. I have heard that some .410s will be fine doing that anthers will not. Mine isn't stamped for .45 LC so I doubt I'd try it without a long string that pulls the trigger while I'm 50 feet away. lol!
Have you tried it with slugs. That might give a better idea of accuracy.
I am very much kicking myself......I should have looked at more options before buying my savage 42.....this looks to be a much better gun, at least you can use the double badger's sights....
I have one of these, it's much better if you open it differently. Tuck the stock up into your armpit and push the lever with the back of your shooting hand/fingers like you would a lever action rifle. Use your other hand to hold the gun under the hinge to support the barrels and stock. Let both ends fall gently so that the breeches are looking right back up at you. Hold it like that with your support hand and load with your strong hand.
If you hold the gun with one hand and work the lever with the other like in the video then you stand a chance of pulling the lever crooked and jamming the gun. I know because my girlfriend did this with mine... twice...
from london area eh, no kidding ive been into bullseyes a few times hha, cool video
I ordered the rifle online but from what I hear, Bullseye is a great place to shop in person too! I did actually used to live in London, but I've since moved to NB
I've always wanted something like this in a center fire for deer over a 20 or 12ga
A Savage 24 might be what you're after
@@mmatt
Super hard to find but your exactly correct
Baikal MP94
This was my brothers first gun
There's something to say about simplicity. So, do you like eating groundhogs, aka pigwhistles?
Im having problems with the .22 trigger it wont fire. Can anyone one help?
From London too. Looking for one
Interesting. Been wanting a combo gun. I was a little surprised at the pattern size with the full choke. I expected them to be a little tighter. I almost wonder if there is too much constriction and it is causing pellets to bounce off each other- that is known to happen. No choke tubes though, so u can't test a different choke. I hope they make a centerfire version- I would love to have a 223 (or 30-30 or 308) over a 12 or 20 ga. That would be very useful. Or even a 357 or 44 mag. A 22 mag is fine for starters, but they need a centerfire- that is an unexploited market. Obama banned the Baikals from import by exec order, so i hear, and Savage has not mafe the 42 in centerfire, and their stock looks crappy and the quality control seems iffy. Come on, Chiappa!
I was hoping for better results from the shotgun barrel too, but I guess you really can't expect too much from a .410
I'd love to see a .22LR over 20 gauge with screw in chokes kinda like the old Savage 24.
A .223 over 12 or 20 gauge would be pretty awesome too though. :-)
I think Baikal makes those... and Gobles is your local distrib
Not a big Chiappa fan but this gun is pretty damn good!
Thanks for the video, I just bought one.. where did you get the shell holder?
Walmart
This is a great little rifle, but does it take Glock mags?
Whoa ....
Ravnar 777 Yup. With enough hacksawing and possibly soldering, anything is possible.
No oc not i mean look at it. This definitely takes AR mags
Okay I'll say it. How about .30-30 over 20gge? Or .22 Hornet(or.22 Savage Hi-Power do they even make that one anymore?) Or that cool .30-06 over a 12 gge. I saw over 25 years ago back in a pawn in Carolina(damned if I can remember the make)?
savage
Should I point out that the animal on the target is a prairie dog and not a gopher?
I just took this gun up to bear hunt this year. I used it to small game hunt in the afternoons. best small game gun ever!! I rocked a few grouse a Coon and some squirrels. I went for the 22 wmr model it melts anything coyote and under
I ended up not buying one. What I didn't like about this one was primarily the odd lever that you have to have two hands to use. I much prefer being able to pop the gun open with one hand while going for the cartridges with my other. That, combined with some serious quality control difficiencies being reported and I'm out. I still want it to work, though. I have some old Savage combination guns that I prefer, but they don't fold in half. You can take them down, but I prefer a folding shotgun like the Beretta 412 series and the new ones coming out of Turkey.
RyeOnHam The two handed lever is a bit of a pain, but you get used to it quickly. I just have to remind myself that it's not a rapid fire gun so be sure to make the first shot count.
I have never needed to, but hunting with the .22 lr on the Savage, I always figured I could follow it up with the 20 gauge if I was really hungry.
its not a two hand lever at all. hold the gun under your right armpit, lever wth your right hand, away she goes. simple and actually rather comfortable (with mine anyways(
how much did it cost
OK mmatt, now it's been a couple of year, well nearly four, since you made this review,...before I order one, I thought I'd ask you if you're still happy with your Double Badger.
Should I buy one or now,..and if not, what would you suggest?
I still have mine and I love it. :-) I'd get one if I were you.
@@mmatt That clear's that away,...I think I'll order one first thing Monday morning.
Thanks for your reply and help!
Since this is a fixed full choke how would slugs or buckshot do?
I haven't tried yet. I will and will report back when I do.
good survival gun
redneckmini14 what other rifles make good survival guns that are available in canada
id say most popular 22s make good survival guns. 10/22, 795, model 60, etc. a good shotgun would be good too, but if u need to carry a lot of ammo id go with a 410.
Nice hack with the front sight.
any chamber adapters available for 410 from chiappa yet?
+smokeymountainrain you can put a 45 colt pistol round in the 4-10 chamber and you can hunt deer or any game it is league to hunt with.
and what will happen when your .451 caliber bullet hits that .390 full choke
Not to mention the bore itself is only .410
Still asking for the 9 mm magazine fed version.
Whoa ...
I think I'll have to buy one.
Then custom make a bayonet mount , for those " just in case" moments.
Are you going to wear a Bearskin?
@@laysorangejuiceandtoothpas2747 i won't need to.
Theres plenty of drug addicts, maybe i can find one and make a floor rug.
Will the 410 barrel fire a .45long colt as well?
+Lawrence Evans No, it's not chambered for .45LC.
Thank you.
can i shoot .45's outta the .410 barrell?
Nope. The Chiappa has a .410 chamber. Guns that shoot both .45LC and .410 shells are actually chambered for .45LC and so the smaller diameter .410 shell will fit in the chamber. A larger diameter .45LC might fit in a .410 shotgun's chamber but the bullet is likely too largely to exit the barrel which could potentially cause significant damage and/or injury.
I would like to know if it can handle 1/4 oz slugs?
.410 slug is actually 1/5 oz slug about equal to .357 mag
@@tedsell1455 you can also get 1/4 Oz slugs in 2 1/2 inch
Got to try cut shells.
Can you fire both barrels at the same time?
+Jamoke Anderson It's kinda awkward and mostly useless, but yes you can. :-)
Thank you. I'm sure it's not practical but i just wanted to know the limits of this rifle.
Can this gun shoots steelshots?
Xco Yco I would assume so as it’s only a full choke but anything tighter and I wouldn’t
Xco Yco yes
nice combo gun lot cheaper then the savages
I didn't know savage has a drilling what model is it?
@@calebreutener870 yes model savage model 24s. . Where mix of calibers. Rifel in shotgun together hard to find theo
And savage 42s. 42 are 22lr/410. 22mag/410
If only I could find one lol
Too bad the larger X-caliber doesn't have a wood stock like this one.
needed to be 223 under 410
Savage Model 24 is where it is at
The biggest trick is finding one for sale.
Definitely not the ammo missing XD
hay man do you live in London Ont
+dr fezz
I used to. I live in NB now.
oh cool do you still use the double badger
All the time. It's one of my favourite guns.
Buenas armas
Put a .45 colt, or a .410 000 buck shot cartridge in that thing and you've got a small game hunting rifle that will stop a bear from stealing your rabbit.
No Worries - the fiber optic sights would have broken eventually anyway. I hate them on firearms in general.
They are all the rage these days but like you say, the vast majority of them are too large and poorly defined to provide precision aiming. They are also very fragile, and will leave you without an aiming reverence at all the first time your rifle take a knock.
And only $800 in Australia
223 over 20 plz.
That would be handy.. .
Nice combo...I like the idea of 20g over 22 WMR.
Quelqu'un peut traduire "in French" please
22 hornet/.223 over 20 gauge would be a far more useful combo. a 20 gauge slug will kill ...a lot.
can it shot 22 mag
Definitely cylinder bore choke
Me want
Cut the nylon thread protector in half, to make a thick washer. Thread it on before the steel protector. Tighten the steel against the nylon. Baddaboom, baddabing.
I don't think it's relevant to rate this gun as a rodent gun using .410 ammo at more than 25 yards. The .22 would be the definite choice for rodent targets at further distances.
looks better then the piece of shit savage makes... 555 is a great choice...
This gun isnt thst great, you dont have control over the hammer.
Once you close it the hammer is set.
Kill a golfer? They will lock us up and throw away the key.
Not a good review without 000 buck.
Pretty gun i bought , lol the worst gun i ever bought, or even found in a junk pile. Dont waste your money
Canadian ammo is 👎👎
Not very impressive.
What is it with you ID10TS using #6 for small game you should never shoot anything but a #4 for more power and smaller spread!!!
You sure have a nice way of sharing info... lol
Do you assume that anyone is an idiot just because they don't know everything you know? Does that make you an idiot because I know some things that you don't? Or are you someone who thinks that they know everything and isn't willing to learn anything new anymore... 🤔
Love the review. Now I want one! I've got a savage 42 in 22 mag over .410 but.. No chokes. Your starting to cost me money tho mclatchey ..
