I have no personal experience with it, but spoke to a guy at the range last week that shoots the Badger. He loves it. He said it had very little to no recoil and was very accurate. The 17 peewee is another cartridge based on the 30 carbine case.

The 17 peewee you refer to, is that the same as the 17x33?
I saw one of those a couple of years ago that the guy was firing
solid copper projectiles out of. It was astounding as far as accuracy
goes. They would form little U's on impact (a couple were under the hide on the off side.)and left a pretty impressive exit wound on coyote when they left. The exit wound was normally much higher than the impact wound so that little U must have tumbled terribly inside.
All but one died where it was hit, That one stumbled about 10 yards
before falling. His rifle must have been custom made as I have never seen anything like it. It weighed about 12 pounds!
