The 86 Wildlands model is the latest iteration of Chiappa’s 1886 lever-action rifle, designed to meet the needs and preferences of modern hunters and shooters. While preserving the core technical layout and features of John Moses Browning’s iconic lever-action, the 86 Wildlands introduces several enhancements that improve handling and control, particularly for the powerful .45/70 Government caliber.
Crafted with precision, the Chiappa 86 L.A. Wildlands Take Down lever-action rifle features a fully CNC-machined receiver for exceptional durability and performance. Coated in a Cerakote Dark Grey finish, the rifle offers superior resistance to wear and corrosion, ensuring longevity even under demanding conditions, such as extreme weather or heavy use. The modern aesthetic is complemented by dark grey laminate wood furniture, including a pistol grip stock with a rubber buttplate for comfort, and a triangular-profile forend for enhanced grip. Sling swivel studs provide additional versatility, making it a reliable choice for both field and tactical use.
Features:
- The Chiappa 1886 Wildlands lever-action rifles offer exceptional performance, combining classic design with modern enhancements. It features a take-down design, allowing for easy disassembly and convenient transport. The patented triangular forend ensures a superior grip, enhancing control for accurate shooting, while the pistol grip stock improves ergonomics for a stable and comfortable shooting experience. A MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail is integrated for easy attachment of optics, enabling precise targeting. The fiber optic front sight provides quick acquisition of targets in low-light conditions, and the threaded muzzle allows for the addition of muzzle devices. The rubber buttpad absorbs recoil, reducing fatigue during extended use.
