The Chiappa 1886 Takedown in .45-70 Government (brand part no. 920422) pairs the classic 1886 lever action with a take-down design, letting shooters break the rifle down for compact storage or transport. Chiappa Firearms finishes the rifle in black and builds it around a 16.5-inch barrel, and a fixed fiber optic front sight pairs with an adjustable Skinner rear sight for fast, modern aiming on a traditional action. The lever action feeds from a tubular magazine with a 4+1 capacity and runs a 1-in-18-inch rate of twist tuned for heavy .45-70 bullets. Among lever action rifles, the 1886 Takedown favors hunters and backcountry travelers who want a compact, packable .45-70 lever gun.
