New folding .22 rifle.

[Sheriff_Of]

Thanks for the find! I've been debating on what small rifle to get for backpacking/small game hunting recently, I'd love to have the M6 but, well scarce and expensive doesn't suit my needs right now, been considering the AR-7 mostly because its semi-auto, but the Badger rifle looks pretty promising.....Here is what I found.... Weight 3.5lbs Retail price $169!!!!!! I need one of these!

You should check out the Packrifle. A little pricey but at 15.5 ounces, probably the smallest lightest 22 rifle available.

Thanks Sheriff,
At $169, unless it is a real POPoop, it would be quite a buy!

S&W is also bringing back the high quality model 41 .22 pistol...

Rear sight looks better than M6... Don't know about the rest. Better trigger maybe or at least a conventional style. Reminds me a bit of the old Bronco mixed with a Galef...

That was my thought as well......

Now if they would just make one with a .22/.410 combo.

Talk about ultra light. Looks like its fun, but not sure I would want to trust something that ultra light with my survival.

I'd rather have it than nothing at all.

At $169 I could see several badgers in my future

Interesting. I do not like the way it folds though, seems they need to get it to fold closer somehow, maybe an inlet for the trigger group. Looks "clunky" and just not right in the folded position for me.

I agree, it could fold better BUT it does fold and would fit in a pack. The rails don't look very comfortable either. I bet some rail covers could be found to be put on to make it better.
