I may just have to pick one of them up, want a combo gun that is reasonably priced,but don't want the new hunk of plastic savage came out with.

it looks like it would work but for 169 i can get something thats only a little heavier and i can take apart

ill make final judgement once i can feel it at a store

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...

Didn't think anybody else ever heard of a Galef!!! Was my fist gun back in 8th grade 43.00 3" chamber downed a ton of birds with that gun and still have it in the cabinet, use it for tree rats sometines, clocks in at a whopping 6.25 pounds!!!!! Can't find 'em like that anymore! Blew the doors of the "topper"

Double Badger not a bad looking little piece, wish they weren't illegal here in the Demokratik Peoples Republik of Hawaii.

Illegal? How is that?

Yeah, that double is not too bad looking. Glad someone is making something like this again. The barrel band looks too big, plastic-y, and out of place, needs more refined, classic lines. Not sure about the trigger/hand guard. Is that a functioning lever to break the action open or just a hand guard? Also, a takedown pin would be better, I think. The folded up position looks awkward to carry/store.

The rear sight on the Badger is the same one as on their M1 Carbine clone.

I handled one at SHOT and it was absolute crap. Die cast, loose adjustments, and very cheap.

Not illegal to own just illegal to hunt with. No combination-rifles allowed in hunting area during gamebird season, 410 and 22LR chambered rifles illegal to hunt mammals with here. We have no small game mammals in the islands. Don't get caught in the field with a combination-gun especially a 410/22.

This was last year, and I handled the M1 Carbine clone.

Sorry for the confusion.

The Double Badger looks like a neat gun, but based on the quality of some of their stuff I'd want to see it in person before I bought one.
