Chiappa Lever 22?

[kamlooky]

Chiappa LA322 Takedown Deluxe .22LR

Anyone have one of these?
Looks awfully similar to the Marlin 39's.
Do they compete on compare wise?

Priced in and about the same as the Awnrie.

Let's'ear it................

I would buy if I could find one without the ugly fake colour case hardening.

It would be ok if you weren't planning on shooting it (much)......

The chiappa sits in the cabinet about as well as the Marlin. That is where the comparison ends.
The take down is slightly different.
As noted it has a funny finish on the receiver.
The norinco lever .22 is a better value, but it's more a win 94/22 copy.
The jw was about 1/2 the price of the chiappa.
There are a lot of plastic parts in the chiappa if that bothers you.
Henry is in a different class - and they back their product with a lifetime waranty and friendly factory folks.
Not to say the chiappa, or norinco factory folks aren't friendly they might be.
Maybe when the snow melts I will do a sidebyeach comparison.

I was just wondering about these as well. Saw a "Kodiak' model in a store the other day and it caught my eye. Attractive little 22 to my eye!
