This week, we’re taking a closer look at the Chiappa Little Badger Take Down Xtreme. A minimalist survival rifle, this .22 LR-chambered single shot is perfect for small game, stowing easily into a pack to carry into the backcountry while scouting for the season. With the press of a lever the gun comes in half, boasting a small enough profile to be stored in a small tube. Meanwhile, a length of Picatinny rail atop the barrel means the gun can be fitted with a reflex sight, though iron sights are included from the factory. Learn more about it in the video embedded above, hosted by Editor in Chief Scott Olmsted and Digital Associate Editor David Herman. MSRP: $310.37; chiappafirearms.com

Hardware Review: Marlin Model 1895 Dark

If you think lever-action rifles should only have walnut stocks and a blued-metal finish, then the new Marlin Dark series with its polymer buttstock and aluminum AR-esque handguard probably won’t be your thing. That’s a shame, because this recent offering in Marlin’s line of modernized, capable lever-action rifles has a lot going for it in terms of performance, functionality and fun.
