45-70 Chiappa 1886 Ridge Runner Matte Chrome 18.5" Threaded | Take Down

Nothing says classic stopping power and performance like a lever action .45-70 and nothing says this better than a Model 1886. 

Originally created by genius gunsmith John Browning and produced from 1897 to 1935, is manufactured in even more configurations today. The new models are produced with modern metallurgy and a twist rate suitable for today’s ammunition. It is the perfect choice for hunters looking for a hard-hitting lever action and lever action enthusiasts. 

The Ridge Runner Take Down Rifle features a matte chrome finish, black rubber soft touch over walnut stock & forend, a half octagonal barrel, integrated Skinner peep & weaver rail rear sight, front fiber optic sight, sling mounts, D-shaped lever, and a muzzle brake

The take down action disassembly is the same an original 1892 take down disassembly and has interrupted threads on the receiver to allow removal of the barrel. To take down the rifle the action must be levered open, the disassembly lever on the magazine tube used to unscrew the tube until it is free from the receiver, then while holding the tube slightly up from the action twist the barrel 90 degrees so that it is perpendicular to the receiver (the muzzle brake must be removed before disassembly).
