Our ongoing dialogue with Chiappa has produced some exciting new guns over the past year and this new offering is no exception. We are please to present Chiappa's newest lever action carbine, the "Chiappa 1886 45/70 Ridge Runner". This tough, beefy 12" barreled lever action is built on the 1886 Kodiak receiver and stock set and will handle any abuse they are given and have been treated with their brand new hard chrome finish that will resist anything Mother Nature will throw at you!

Why do they go with the odd rubber covered wood stocks instead of a nice glass filled nylon stock? It's not like they're trying to keep the cost down.
 
Beautiful looking gun. Eye candy !

Perfect for back packing in Canada but I'd have a hard time getting it into the USA with that 12" bbl for my yearly deer hunt in Maine.
Anything less than a 16" bbl is a "NFA short barrel rifle" down there and needs lots of paperwork to import and possess + a $200 tax stamp even for a US citizen.

Besides if I called Wanstalls to buy a $2000 gun I might as well call a good divorce lawyer at the same time.

Sorry, not this time around.

If they made one with a 16" bbl for 1/2 the money I'd be interested.

You nailed it... A 12" in a take down doesn't make sense to me. At least with a 16" both bits would be the same length.

You could add another 4" to that barrel and gain ballistic and legal (avoid US border problems) advantages and the gun would fit into the same case as the "packing length" is determined by the longest section.
Over 2 Gs tax incl. - wow!

I dunno about that.
I've got a blue steel Chiappa Mare's Laig takedown in 44 Mag that is very well made.
I drilled and tapped the barrel and mounted a long eye relief pistol scope right behind the muzzle.
Quite accurate out to 50 yards.
I'm looking for a normal length butt stock for it.

16" would still be handy and still break down in two even pieces.
Expensive for sure.

Is the barrel drilled and tapped for a rail as well? It looks like there are two holes forward of the Skinner sight.

I like handguns too but unfortunately my Canadian home isn't in a jurisdiction where I can use handguns other than to polish them in front of the TV (with the window blinds pulled fully down so my nosy neighbors don't dime me out) or poke holes in paper targets at a bureaucrat approved range.

That Canada allows full use of non-restricted short barrel rifles like the subject firearm we are discussing and the US doesn't without a long arduous paper trail is amazing to me.

I'd joke about it only holding 4rds, but if 4rds of 45/70 don't kill it, it probably doesn't die.

I wonder if the new Chiappa levergun we are speaking of is rated for the Buffalo Bore ammo that appears to be on sale in Canada now though I haven't personally seen a Canadian sourced Buffalo Bore round of ammo yet??
If the action is a Winchester 92 clone it should be plenty strong.
 
Wow! 45/70 thats big medicine for a short package. I bit the bullet and popped for the 44 mag, liked it so much that I bought a second one ,to have a paire of them. The price was steep for them( or so I thought) but two G's ( sorry) is way to much! Totally happy with my 44's great gun. Would love to get one but can't justify the price. If they were priced nearer to the price of the 44 mag I would feel the need to get one.I am sure that they will sell to the guys that need a pack gun,pilots , trappers and guides.:wave::canadaFlag:
