Chiappa 92 Wildlands Field Lever-Action Rifle

If you have been searching for a lever-action that bridges the gap between classic lines and modern handling, the Chiappa 92 Wildlands Field lever-action rifle deserves a close look. Chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, this rifle gives you the punch you need for deer or hogs without the weight of a bolt gun. It is a straight shooter that feels natural shouldered, and it is built to work in the field, not just on the wall.

Overview

The Chiappa 92 Wildlands Field lever-action rifle is a modern take on the Winchester 1892 platform, updated for today’s shooter. Chiappa uses a forged steel receiver and a 20-inch round barrel with a full-length magazine tube. The action is smooth right out of the box, and the gun cycles .44 Mag and .44 Special rounds without hiccups. This is a rifle that handles brush country, timber, and open fields equally well, and it gives you a solid 11-round capacity in a package that balances like a walking stick.

The Chiappa 92 Wildlands Field lever-action rifle keeps things simple. There is no rail for optics, no rails on the fore-end, and no plastic anywhere. You get a blued steel receiver with a color case-hardened lever, a crescent-style buttplate in steel, and a stock that is oil-finished. The action is a scaled-down version of the 1886, which means it cycles short and long .44 rounds without binding. The trigger breaks clean at about 4.5 pounds, and the hammer has a half-cock safety position.

• Magazine: Full-length tube, loading gate on right side of receiver
• Finish: Blued barrel and magazine tube, case-hardened lever

Who It Is For

This Chiappa 92 Wildlands Field lever-action rifle is for the Illinois hunter who works in mixed cover. If you hunt deer in river bottoms, thickets, or agricultural edges, the .44 Magnum gives you the energy to drop a buck at 75 yards and the speed to take a follow-up shot on a running coyote. It is also a good choice for the target shooter who wants a fun, fast-handling gun for steel plates or plinking. Because it chambers .44 Special, you can shoot lighter loads all day without punishing your shoulder. This is not a safe queen. It is a tool for the person who wants one rifle that does everything from pest control to deer season.

• Illinois deer hunters in Zone 1 through Zone 5 (straight-wall cartridge compliant)
• Handgun hunters who want a companion rifle in .44 Mag
• Lever-action enthusiasts who appreciate a smooth, reliable action
• Shooters who prefer iron sights and classic walnut stocks
