I just received one in the guns from the nwtf for their annual banquet. it is a badger. the best description I can muster is it is crude. That description is being quite generous and nicer to it than the manufacturer was.

I'm a gun/gear snob and I don't find the double badger crude at all. Have never seen any of the other guns.

Only negative I can find is the .410 with slugs and .22 aren't particularly close to shooting in the same place. Looks like I'll have to sight in for one or the other.

I ordered a Vhiappa .45-70 side-by-side. It never got out of the store. CRUDE would have been high praise - cut my left thumb trying to PRY brass from the chamber while HOLDING the action open because it would not open far enough to allow the brass to be taken from the chamber - I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THERE IS A REAL PRICE FOR EVERYTHING - AND AT THE PRICE OF THE CHIAPPA THERE WAS NO RAINBOW, ONLY RAIN!!!!
