Thanks for helping me feel like the Henry All Weather 30-30 and Marlin 1894 .357 are good decisions, having bought both in a 2 week period. Lol

I have thought about getting the Chiappa in 45-70 for a bear defense gun, what caliber do you have? Any issues with it or notable qualities you can elaborate on?

I just got mine today so havent shot it yet and its in 357. the action and trigger feel good, but I have noticed a few cosmetic rough spots on the reciever and barrel witch is disapointing but oh well.

See the piece on the right - a Chiappa 44 caliber, 12 inch take-down? That's part of a custom run in 2014 (?) for Canadian back-country.

There is now some really fast 44 ammo that makes it a viable big bear gun. It's heavy though. That barrel is massive.

Mines 357. So i wont be using it for bears haha.

I'm surprised. Looks like a larger bore barrel.

I have a 44mag Chiappa, same as Author just the 20" barrel, the Alaskan Takedown is still in production, Matt chrome looks nice, easy to clean.

It's good looking, and doesn't mind the snow. They also came with loops sized for mitts.

Man, I love that stainless takedown. Dream gun. I have a couple 60’s Marlins in the safe. Wish they were accurate.

u/moonpie_888 7d ago

Is that lever on the left 357?

u/Leather-Tour9096 7d ago

What is the mag fed lever? Can’t make it out

u/SolemnSpider 7d ago

How do you find chiappas? Thinking of getting an 1892 in 357 or 44

Honestley not great so far i only got one because there essentially the only ones who make short silly guns like this other then even worse turkish brands.

I had two 45-70's from chiappa one was a exspensive 3k gun and the QC was so bad i sent it back and got a refund didnt even wanna try again. It wasnt even close to being acceptable. my 1/3 of the price henry was nicer in every possible way.

The second one was one of those all black alaskan takedowns and it was better but still had some issues, the fibre optic was missing from the front sight and had not the greatest fit and finish I gave it to a friend. He says he likes it tho so

This 3rd one is a 357. And the action and such feels leagues better then the other two guns i had but the fit and finish for metal parts again is not good, theres some markings and decently bad metal work on the crown and reciever, both seem cosmetic but theres a 3rd spot where it looks like one of the screws was sunk to far on the reciever or something and the hole for it looks like a chunk or two of metal flaked / cracked out, i dont have any pics because im away from home but i've had 3 chiappas and every winchester, henry and marlin i've own have been better in everyway while being comparable in price.

I'd say if you can man handle one in person first then yea but my luck ordering online has been not good.
