I'm looking for a .22lr 12g under-over, and I recently came across the Chiappa M6-22. Anyone on /k/ have experience with it? What are your thoughts?
With all the people on here who talk about NDing, I think it's likely that hunters have fucked up with these combo rifles. Imagine that rabbit that got slammed with a load of 12. Or the boar that got pricked by a .22.
Is it cheaper than the savage?
The few reviews I've seen were not very good, as expected of Chiappa most of the time. Their typical mix of interesting idea and shoddy making.
The rails are plastic and have been seen shearing off under recoil with an optic on.
The sub caliber adapters are expensive for what they are and not very accurate, but you can get the rifle without them.
Still not ure about the durability of the stock in adverse conditions, but for everyday use it should hold up.

Savage is a .410/.22LR while the Chiappa is a 12GA/.22LR or 20GA/.22LR.
i have a savage 24F that's 223 over 12ga, im thinking about that chiappa pouch with those barrel inserts and an additional 223 to 22lr
although its heavier and more expensive than the chiappa, the savage adds just a little extra versatility with the ability of a centerfire rifle
the 24Fs are a little pricey at around $500

Chiappa is a gamble. Some are good some are terrible. You think a company making firearms would figure out that shitty QC on shitty triggers would be important.
Also fuck their customer service/warranty.

Springfield (cz made) actually makes one of these that works.

So, are there any reliable .22lr/12g over under rifles currently in production on the market?

I've heard only bad things about the Model 42. However I've got a model 24 .22/.410 and I love it. I can't figure out why savage doesn't just start production back up on them instead of making that POS
>>29445954
I sure you could find an old 24 for cheaper than a new 42
Hell they made those old ones in .223 rem or 30/30 winchester over 12 gauge.
in addition to any 22 cal you could shake a stick at.

I bought a chiappa m four .22 a while ago and the thing was a lemon I took it to the range and it failed to fire every round I put in it.
I have since cleaned it thoroughly hoping it was maybe it was just some grime but I haven't tried it yet since then.
Chiappa doesn't really have the best quality control it seems.
