Chipmunk 40101 Hunter 22 S/L/LR 9" Single Shot Stainless Bolt-Action Rifle

The Chipmunk 40101 Hunter 22 S/L/LR 9" Single Shot Stainless Bolt-Action Rifle is purpose-built for young shooters, small-game hunters, and marksmanship trainers seeking a reliable, low-recoil platform. Chambered in .22 rimfire—which handles Short, Long, and Long Rifle ammunition—this rifle delivers consistent accuracy without the noise signature or cost of centerfire rounds. Its compact 9-inch barrel and 3.35-pound total weight make it ideal for youth hunter education programs, pest control, and introducing new shooters to fundamental bolt-action discipline.

Built with stainless steel construction, the Chipmunk Hunter resists corrosion and requires minimal maintenance in field conditions—a critical advantage for hunters operating in wet or variable weather environments. The single-shot bolt-action mechanism enforces deliberate shot placement and teaches proper breathing, trigger control, and sight picture management without the distraction of follow-up rounds. The 9-inch barrel reduces overall length for easier handling in brush or confined spaces, while maintaining sufficient velocity for .22 rimfire ballistics. Stainless finish eliminates rust concerns and maintains aesthetic integrity over extended storage or hard use.

This rifle benefits youth programs, wildlife control specialists, and tactical marksmanship instructors who prioritize safety and precision over firepower. Its lightweight profile and minimal recoil make it suitable for shooters with limited upper-body strength or recoil sensitivity, while the .22 rimfire caliber compatibility—accepting Short, Long, and Long Rifle ammunition interchangeably—offers operational flexibility and cost efficiency. The single-shot design is ideal for teaching range safety protocols and instilling respect for each round. Whether for summer camp firearms training, small-game management, or introducing hunters to bolt-action mechanics, the Chipmunk 40101 delivers proven reliability in a durable, low-maintenance platform.
