Chiappa 1886 Ridge Runner 12" 45/70 Take Down Non-Restricted

I have one of these on order in .357 mag. They are beautiful guns. The furniture is leather wrapped hardwood, and it’s got fantastic grip. They have really nice, smooth actions & a good trigger. That octagonal barrel is Heavy! They’re a perfect length; I’ve had my Rossi for a dozen years & 15,000+ rounds with a 12in. Barrel...best bush gun I’ve ever owned.
I have this 12” version G and it is ideal for dense bush hunting. The large aperture ghost ring sight makes target acquisition almost instantaneous and the rubberized fore stock and butt stay “grippy” even when wet. Action is butter smooth right from the factory and it cycles the Hornady Leverevolution 250gr Monoflex flawlessly. It is a solid chunk of stainless steel and makes recoil from the 45-70 round very manageable.
Have used this rifle for a couple of years now for stand hunting Black Bears.

Where did you get the rail? Or did it come with the gun?
Thanks!
