Interesting, I think folks are finally starting to catch on to combo guns. There are pros and cons to every gun and I'd sure like to handle one of these. I don't put much stock in sub-caliber adapters (most I've tried were disappointing), but if this is supposed to be a Mad Max type setup, then what the hell. I didn't notice an MSRP. Also, .22LR/12ga will make alot of people happy. I guess I'm neutral and leaning toward hopeful. I do like the looks of the double badger better, I wonder if they will expand the caliber options in a wood furniture line as well.

Looks like 1 part Springfield M6 and 1 part Staggs-Built combo in its design. Nothing wrong with that, just interesting. I'm willing to give it a chance, but I wish they could have put the shotgun on the bottom like a Savage.

Interesting.
I was planning on picking up a few subcaliber adapters for my 24 and stashing them in the buttstock for "just in case" use...
I can't say I'm too impressed with the styrofoam buttstock, but other than that I don't see a problem with it. I may have to check into prices. If its inexpensive (chiappa stuff usually is) it might be a worthy addition to the arsenal.
I agree on having the rifle barrel on top. If nothing else it gets the sights closer to the proper plane.

This is an interesting company
I wouldn't want their combo gun but I have held the 357 "rhino" they make and its pretty cool!Putting the barrel in line with the bottom of the cylinder really reduces recoil

There is a video out on these where the company spokesman says the retail price will be close to $800. The adapters are short so will be pistol ballistics and accuracy. That's a lot but I got my M6 and 24C for less than $150 each many years ago so I guess it all evens out. I'll probably pick one up since I collect so-called survival guns.

Half Little Badger, half M6. Just hope it doesn't wobble like they others I saw.

Yeah, but with a little badger costing $150 or less it's hard to justify the extra $600 price.

The one thing I don't like is there are no chokes on the 12 gauge barrel. Stuck with only cylinder.

Agreed. I was looking for an M6 when I found my 24. The asking prices for them (and even for some of the 24's I saw) really had me scratching my head. At least until I remembered all the unnecessary mania that's currently swirling around gun bans, ammo shortages, and "prepping" for anything from the zombie apocalypse to the downfall of civilization to the rapture... Crazy people (not referring to anybody on THIS site! We're the level headed ones  ) making our lives difficult I guess. ... I am kinda worried about those zombies though. Maybe I should buy more bullets on the way home.... |
