try to zero the scope for V-max 30gr Hornady, another 3 shot, adjust too much, come back a little, should be zeroed now, the last one fly far away, could be me could be the barrel heat up again (still can be covered by 50 cent coin though..), will try more later,

it's really cool to shoot it, 22WMR feels like CF but without much recoil...

Whats the rail set up you've got on it? I've got one too but the plastic rails are pretty hopeless. Hoping to upgrade the open sights rather than put an optic on it though.

Oh and it folds neatly in half. That’s just great.
So it will fit in my safe.
Oh crap, look at all the aftermarket stuff you can get to customise them.

Not entirely certain without trying myself but appears like SHV has removed the plastic rails and mounted a series of these or similar https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/193140417937?hash=item2cf810e591:g:YqgAAOSwkr5ZktKk

There’s different variations on those that offer quad or bi rails. I’d go with an alloy version because the advantage of this gun is the weight.
Being in there is none. You could attach it to a belt loop.

My badger is still a work in progress. The plastic rails need to go. They are good for nothing. In fact you can only use two at a time because of how they are mounted. And whatever you mount flexes. Well actually the whole gun flexes :D
It is what it is. It’s not a great gun but its just so much fun.
Great care has to be taken removing the rails. They are torque screws, however a driver that fits them precisely dose’nt exist in the world. The shroud beneath has mitered corners, allowing for SHV’s clever solution.

I haven’t had any misfires with mine and the potential for great accuracy is there, as SHV has shown.

The other issue is a consistent cheek well. Being in there is none :D
But you need to get your parallax sorted :crazy:
Red dots on these seem popular, but the fast aiming compact scope is where its at. Looks like a 1-4 or 1-6 on SHV’s ?

I love this thing. When i eventually figure out what I’m doing with it I’ll post pics. But thats the fun of it, constantly evolving and improving on something thats very rudimentary.
But still your need to keep it simplistic or you defeat its purpose.
The challenge is minimalism and efficient function, cosmetic appeal for the win.
Well played SHV

Pretty much.
It’s like carrying around an armed telescope. :)
Then you just crack it open like a baby grenade launcher and drop your your pill in.
Unfortunately its also about as accurate as a baby grenade launcher would be.
Not really getting spectacular groups with it .. :?

Sooo. Intended purpose. State forest close to home bordered by a lot of private properties. And theres heaps of foxes and dens around the edges. I mean heaps. These things are running in packs. Pups are playing on the roads. They’re not really shy. Seem to think they’re pretty safe and will literally sit there and watch you in the mornings.
Apparently theres dogs around also but am yet to spot one.
Plenty of roadkill nearby to keep these guys well fed and hooray for horseflies.
So a lot of walking. And i want 22mag sub sonics sighted to 70 yards. But my groups are a really s**t. I made a metal top rail to suit. Made no difference.
Enjoying the exercise and travelling light. But i dont think I’ll persevere with the gun for that purpose.

Might be getting a make over not so different to op’s. Might be culling tin cans at around 25 yards with a red dot on a lazy days. Good to take camping for a bit of fun.
I’ll just carry the boring marlin for hunting i think. At least i can hit things with it.

Nothign wrong with the groups you're getting mate, at elast not those you posted. 50m with a group inside a 10 or 20c coin is just fine - if it was a starling you woulda hit it! No question for a fox or bunny.

Get into the field with her and challenge yourself, leave the paper the range.

Not a 22WMR, but a 22lr.

I get the same type of groups as SHV at 50m I have a metal picatinny rail that is made for the rifle that I bought from the US. I also have a tactical threaded end cap for it as it's a single shot just in case a rabbit charges me. :unknown:

I 3d printed the front forend to make it larger and allow the rifle to fold closed more.

Thanks for sharing Fionn. I love the foregrip you made. And the barrel mount sling swivel good idea too.
What ammo are you using ?

I see you have some longshot accessories. https://genuinelongshot.com/shop/ols/categories/chiappa

I found this bloke in NZ printing a few ideas too https://www.vtp.co.nz/shop/little-badger-upgrades/5

Ray trade brings in genuine chiappa accessories here too. https://www.raytrade.com.au/products/category/GMMWSTID-rifle-shot-gun-accessories/970.473--chiappa-little-badger-grip
I have the tactical extender on mine. It extends the guns tactical range. :D

I guess I’ll have to find some hornady vmax and put in more practice :thumbsup:

I am using CCI Quiet-22 Segmented Hollow points, I find them very good on rabbits up to about 50m, although the accuracy drops off at this distance. Best around the 30m mark or less.

The barrel mount sling swivel is from eBay I think, I just have to find a sling short enough to use with it. When I have time I think I will make a paracord one.

Yes I have, I also have the hammer extension but as the scope is mounted fairly low it got in the way and was harder to use.

I have been thinking about 3d printing a cheek rest/mount for the wire stock like this,Image

Sitting or prone i like the pistol grip fine. But shooting off hand not so much. I just feels more natural to me to squeeze it like a lever action with a straight stock. Probably because theres not too much to it, so kinda squeeze all round. My trigger has no give and is not particularly light, nor is the gun well weighted for balance :) so i just kinda squeeze the whole thing to hold my aim.

The grip i have is the chiappa one, made to fit the gun so fits flush with the reciever. Cosmetically its perhaps the best looking one out there, but she still ugly. I’d say its angled about 30-35 degrees so feels better than just fitting a generic stubby grip on there.

Lots of options out there, including this one which i think would be a perfect happy medium. Just gives you a bit more meat to hold on to.

There’s also one that i cant find i think chiappa used to make, had a large slot down the middle that fits the barrel when folded.

Yeah the current grip doesn't bother me much, something more to hold wouldn't be bad, when I have time I will print one up to see if I like it.

With the trigger, is yours bad? I find the trigger to be very good, actually I would say its great, light and very crisp. I was surprised how good it was for such a cheap rifle.

Not really bad. Perhaps I’ve been spoilt with triggers. Probably just new and new springs.
