Chiappa Mini Sharps

[slowfire]

Has anyone tried out the Chiappa Mini sharps in .22 rimfire. The sharps 1874 style interests me , but the Chiappa's that I have handled so far (not many)
were less than impressive . Comments on the Mini Sharps and other Chiappa models are welcome. Thanks.

I really wanted the Chiappa M1-22 but they seem to get poor reviews.

I heard bad things about the M1-22 too, but their other stuff looks pretty decent.

But how hard can a dropping block action be?

A few years back I bought a Chiappa 1886. Brand new, it had 3 really nasty gouges all the way down the inside of the barrel. It took a year for North Sylva to replace it.

Pedersoli also makes a mini sharps in 22lr, its called the Sharps light and Marstar has it in stock for $1170

I've owned three Chiappa firearms, never again. 1911/22, rhino, and M1-22.. All junk
