A Packable Lever Action: The Chiappa 1892 Alaskan Takedown

It’s a review of the .44 Magnum Chiappa 1892 Alaskan Takedown lever action from Taylor’s and Company! When we hear “lever action,“ most of use think of the Big Three: Marlin, Henry, and Winchester. But they’re not the only players in the lever action game. Chiappa is just one of several companies making reproductions of the classic Winchester rifles in dozens of different configurations. Winchester made takedown versions of the 1892 almost from the beginning of the gun’s production run. The Alaskan is a modern take on that original design with some 21st century features. We did a full rundown of those features and a report on how the Alaskan performed at the range. Watch the rest of our lever action series here:
