Wanstalls Exclusive Chiappa Alaskan Scout 12" -- Limited Run
- Thread starter WanstallsOnline

.44 mag is the bear minimum
And Garrett cartridges are the only "proven" rounds for defence against grizzlies (you may want to verify this yourself and not take my internet word for it).
Instead of .44 mag, consider purchasing a .45-70 - that way you know you have sufficient firepower against those dangerous beasts… provided you do your part with the aiming and all.

Glad I'm not the only one who takes the empties in the head.

Finally shot mine today & it's a kickass little carbine! Could use a better set of adjustable sights but still impressive!

What is the OD of the lower tube? Trying to figure out a sling system before mine arrives. Thanks
Any way to attach a saddle ring or single point mount.

My New Alaskan Scout 44Mag takedown with 12" barrel
Good little drybag for when it's together on those canoe trips in the back woods...

29.5" OAL and 18.5" taken down for the receiver. Uncle Mike's 1331-2 sling kit for the front tube. Will allow enough play to twist the tube but is on good when the lever is locked down. Had to shorten the lever a little to make it all work 100%. Going to look for a better side saddle for the rounds. Would have room for 12rds on a velcro strip.
I like it!

Would've responded re:the OD if I wasn't out of town, glad it worked out for you, looks like a great setup. Thanks for doing all the legwork and posting, might just set mine (gf's) up the same!Well I lucked out on the OD...was .630"

What kind of sling did you go with?

Just a quick adjust Browning sling that was on one of my other rifles. Need to get another sling soon as this one will stay on this Alaskan Scout. If you do go the same as mine keep in mind that the sling attachment ring will rub the tube a bit. I expect in to show some marks eventually. I just need a proper sling for in the woods so not too worried about it being a safe queen.

Thanks for the info. Mine is also not about to sit around staying pretty, if it ends up looking too beat up I'll get it nitroned or something.

resolved my issues with a thorough cleaning.
i've got the 20" version, i'd pick up a 12" version in .44 in a heart beat.

So what do you get when you see an CGN invite for some GryphonEnergetics product testing?
I brought my new to me Alaskan scout and let the guys run it...
And tried it on a 1/2 pound charge...
No boom This was a 225gr at 1400+fps
So on to bigger and faster calibers...The rest of the crews had the right stuff
Boom!
Some more Scout pics....

Just a big thank you to Andrew at GryphonEnergetics for a wickedly fun start to the weekend!
