Opinions on Chiappa 92 Winchester clones
I haven’t seen one of these in person but I would appreciate it if anyone has one would let me know what you think?
Re: Opinions on Chiappa 92 Winchester clones
I havnt either but visually they are closet to Winchester than any other repro including the Miroku Winchesters.
Pricey though ,getting real close to shooter grade original Winchester prices.

Re: Opinions on Chiappa 92 Winchester clones
I have a takedown Alaskan. Out of the box, the action was smooth, the trigger was light and crisp, and the metal work was flawless. The action literally needs nothing done to it. The takedown is like a bank vault door and you have to have it in a good light to even see the junction between the action and the barrel. This is the only one I have ever handled so I have no idea if they are all this good or whether I just got real lucky and got a Wednesday gun assembled by a worker that had pride in his job. I have a lot of Italian guns and I think they are like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.

I find my 20" barrel 44 mag Alaskan pretty good.
This is 180gr Peregrine Hog (Non- lead) over 19.2gr of N105 at 50yds. ~0.9" c-c group so pretty acceptable for a .44 cal lever action
Other end of the spectrum: 255 gr SWC gas check in a 44 special case over 15.7gr of 2400
Pretty happy with that as shot with a 2.5x28 scout scope and a take down. Seems very workable accuracy for the platform to me.
