Oh how I lust after something like this - NorthernRaider - 3 July 2013
Look at this superb little chipper, I would love something like this, Hell I would be happy with an air rifle version, so compact, concealable and adaptable. If I was to get an FAC this is the sort of tool I would get.

The other alternative would be this

I really do not NEED anything bigger, I dont live in the highlands so I'm not hunting red deer at 500 yards, I'm living in rolling undulating countryside with plenty of hedgrows, trees, walls and fences.
Sigh..... if only our gun laws were not so futile.

nice, handy and concealable, just a pity its American.

Alas fellows, we Yanks also lust after these specific items!
You see, the Little Badger is a marketing ploy that does not exist in real life. Not only is it never found, no one knows when it will appear on the shelves or at what price.
As for the takedown 10/22, it is like Nessie or Sesquach, a thing heard about but only spotted by a select few after great searching and much cost.
Here is some eye candy n the hands of an actual citizen that you can dwell on;

Hmm seems a little different to the 10/22 takedown my mate has just ordered direct from Ruger through a local gunshop....have to wait and see if it arrives
It comes with its own backpack too!Oh it did cost him £525 though - but she is well worth it!

Handled a take down ruger 10/22 at a show last year. Very nice it was but not worth the expense of trade in and the mickey mouse transfer issues in this country.
RE: Oh how I lust after something like this - Mortblanc - 3 July 2013
Another pretty to contemplate.
This is the Henry Survival Rifle which breaks down into butt-stock, barrel and receiver sections. I use an accessory stock on this one, not because it offers any real advantage but due to the "cool factor"
In spite of what anyone comes up with they will always hold this rifle as the standard; its as light as the AR7/its as accurate as the AR7/ it is more reliable than the AR7/it is as compact as the AR7.....blah...blah...blah...
Yet they can not come up with a single model that has all the advantages of the AR7.
Why not just get an AR7?

We had the original Charter Arms AR7 for a while, very crude in its time.
RE: Oh how I lust after something like this - Grumpy Grandpa - 3 July 2013
I have two of those now. One sits at my bedside and keeps my stuff within easy reach and the other, I use to have my lunch on when I'm sitting in the chair by my window...

NR,
The TD Ruger is very nice. You could get one if you went on the radar.
So no need to lust when you can acquire.
