Chiappa Rifle's are they built to last or Junk ?

[Rooster Ron Wayne]

I have found a Chiappa 1892 44 mag .

With a 24" Octagon barrel. ( and NO Rossi ugly safety on top )

 

Its a very beautiful rifle in very good condition .

 

As most of you know I am a 92 man .

I love my 92s.

But all my 92s are Rossi's .

 

I would like a Nice 92 for myself .

Not necessarily for CAS.

 

Just to have and shoot .

 

I know nothing of the Chiappa brand guns.

This is not a cheap rifle ,

Its in the range of the Winchester 92s from Japan .

 

So I am just asking for some Opinions on the Chiappa made rifles .

Thank you all in advance .

I have a Chiappa 87 shotgun that is excellent quality. If their rifles are as good as their shotguns they are good guns.

My Chiappa-built Puma '92 feels like it fits together better than the Rossis I've handled. I've only had it since February though so I can't say how well it stands up over time.

Good used Browning 92s in .357 or .44 Mag can be found for $650 and up. These are very good guns.

If you like to load original wcf rounds, original 1892s can be found for under $1000 and they maintain or go up in value. I have found that original 1892s will run a bit more reliably than Rossi's.

Rossi's run great after Nate Kiowa Jones works on them. He might know something about the Chiappa.

I talked to Steve today.

He is not a fan of the Chiappa.

 

Steve said the Rossi is the best 92 out there .

Just needs a little tuning and fit & finish .

 

I love the Rossi's that I have .

Great guns with 0 Issues .

 

I just would like a very nice clean rifle .

With fit & finish .

 

I might just buy another Rossi and pull it all apart and slick it up and do the fit & finish my self .

Steve said he can weld up and reblue the bolt for about 130.00.

I just might go that way.

 

So now I am looking for a case colored 24" octagon 44 mag . ( Like New )
