.410 vs .22LR

[u/Riversruinsandwoods]

Hey folks trying to decide between the Chiappas big badger .410 or the Chiappas little badger 22LR. Was curious if the .410 is worth it and if anyone has experience with these guns. Looking for something lighter to take with me when I go fishing. Is there any point to getting a .410 or should I find something in 20 gauge. Mainly want it for the odd bird (grouse, woodcock, maybe a duck and something to scare off a black bear. Already have a 12 gauge but find it’s pretty heavy to hike out with.

I've got a double badger in 410 and 22lr, it's awesome. Sights aren't my favourite so I slapped a red dot on top, which has been great.
