    Has anyone done up a review, video, etc on one of these rifles?

    Great looking gun, really debating selling off my stubby 870 to help finance one of these babies.
    Looking for members in Grande Prairie Alberta interested in wilderness skills, survival skills, camping, prepping, shooting, etc.

    Try as I might! But still can't get this rife out of head! Lusting after a short 45/70 . All other rifes just don't do it for me. Have been saving up the money for one ( but life keeps getting in the way) and now there's no more! Ya! Ya! I know there's a tear in my beer! Trying to look on the bright side ! All that money that I can put elsewhere!

    I too would like to see some range reports and how some of those who purchased these guns since their debut now feel about them.

    I like the looks of the new chiappa but it would probably send my 126 pound frame into a low earth orbit.
    A beauty of a gun that should have a 16" bbl.

    Nah, put your shoulder into it girl! Own it. I'd be interested if it were a 16" barrel (and longer magazine), and the metal finish problems they were having got sorted out.

    I can find a few things about the little blaster that turn me off of it, besides the money gouge.

    1) It's a take down.

    2) It's fitted with that crap Skinner peep that is mounted too far from the eye to be usable in any fast action situation.

    3) Stainless & black rifles do zero for me as far as appearances go.

    4) It's a fookin' Chiappa.

    I would go around 2k for a solid frame Pedersoli version of this beasty though if it came with the bolt mounted peep and blued steel/walnut stocks with Pedersoli recoil pad like my 86/71.
    *LEAD* Still the best boolit material for huntin' & plinkin' for over 600 yrs.
    Shoot well & load better.

    Political Correctness is Fascism pretending to care.

    The quality is so variable with the remlins, rossis and chiappas that you have to judge each individual gun on its own merits.
    One gun could be great and the one beside it on the rack a piece of junk.

    ...equates to a no no purchase over the internet. In hand inspection only, gawd I wish that modern production could actually make a consistently decent product.

    After you have been stuck with a couple of lemons with neither the dealer or manufacturer wanting to take ownership you learn the folly of sight unseen gun purchases.
    At least some do.
    The stupid and their money are soon parted.

    I buy no gun that I haven't checked over manually first.
    The days of pride in product, honor and integrity are long over.
