Any one ever handle or shoot a Chiappa 22 mag Rifle. They almost look like a toy and are really lite with a wire butt stock. They fold up for ease of backpacking. At $171.00 I think it would be a good rifle to play around with to see if I could make decent plinker out of one.

Gunz are icky.

Can’t speak to the rifle you asked about but my experience with Chiappa products overall is poor.
Approach with caution.

SE Oklahoma, I'm claiming it for Texas!

Is it a single shot? It's kind of hard to screw those up.

I went out and put ~300 rounds through my Rhino yesterday.

While I am not ready to agree with "poor" I will say it isn't up to say S&W or Ruger quality levels.

That's my only experience with any of their products. I will post a review shortly.

I still want to shoot it at the reunion if you don’t mind. I’m just curious.

'Top of the hill, Kerr County!

Does it align with the phrase, "shoot the chit"?

Absolutely. If schedule allows me to attend everybody is more than welcome to try it out.

What moonpie said. I handled and looked one over. Was not impressed.

Consider 200-300 dollars for something light, fun, but also useful. I love my ruger American in 22 mag. Can’t go wrong with a 10/22 built the way you want. Stretching more into 350 and up I’m a fan of the sub2000 in 9mm. Probably the only keltec guns I will own. I run mine suppressed as my primary pest gun.

I don't think I've ever fired the sub 2000. I have been really thinking about getting one.. Like I need another 9mm firearm...

For cheap plinking I prefer my SW M&P 22

The buttstock is not the stock one. I replaced it with the one that came with my DB15CCB and put a bushnell TRS25. I only have one magazine because they're expensive.

You’re always welcome to shoot mine. Today I’m also bringing a 10/22. Haven’t shot a 22lr in a while. FYI I do my shooting in the Palmer area. Orbitup also uses a range near that area I believe. Haven’t gotten the time to head that way. One of these days work will give me a Saturday off lol
