Some rifles are built for the bench, and some are built to get carried hard and put to work. The Taylors and Company 1892 Alaskan Take-Down is firmly in the second camp. It takes John Browning's proven 1892 action, one of the smoothest and strongest lever designs ever made for pistol-caliber cartridges, and dresses it for the backcountry with a matte black finish and a wood stock wrapped in a grippy Soft Touch rubber overmold. The anti-shock buttpad takes the sting out of full-house .44 Magnum loads, and at under six pounds this thing carries like a daypack instead of a burden.
The takedown feature is the headline here. The rifle separates into two compact halves quickly and without tools, which makes it a natural fit for float planes, ATV scabbards, backpack hunts, or any trip where space is tight. Reassembly is fast and the rifle returns to zero with the included Skinner Express front and rear sights, a setup that is quick to pick up in low light and timber. The barrel is also drilled and tapped, so adding a scout scope or red dot down the road is a simple job.
With a 16-inch octagon barrel and 7+1 capacity, the Alaskan is a legitimate short-range hunting rifle for deer, hogs, and black bear, and the action is tuned to run Hornady LEVERevolution ammo for extra reach and reliable feeding. The 1892 pattern uses a simplified ramp elevator, so cycling is smooth and positive whether you are working the lever slowly from a stand or running it fast when it counts. Built by Chiappa and distributed by Taylor's, the fit and finish reflect the kind of quality that has made their 1892 line a favorite among lever gun fans. If your idea of a rifle involves rain, brush, and miles on your boots, this one was made for you.
The rifle separates into two halves at the receiver, no tools required, so it packs down small enough for a backpack, ATV box, or bush plane. Reassembly takes seconds, and the design is built to hold zero with the iron sights after being taken apart. It is one of the biggest reasons this rifle is so popular with backcountry hunters and pilots.
Yes. The barrel is drilled and tapped for optics, so you can add a rail and run a scout scope or red dot if you want more than the irons. That said, the Skinner Express front and rear sights it ships with are fast, rugged, and plenty capable inside typical .44 Magnum hunting distances.
The action is specifically tuned for Hornady LEVERevolution ammunition, which feeds smoothly and squeezes extra velocity and downrange energy out of the .44 Mag. It will also handle standard .44 Magnum hunting loads, and the 1:20-style twist common to .44 lever guns stabilizes heavier bullets well for deer, hogs, and bear.
The rifle is manufactured by Chiappa Firearms in Italy and distributed exclusively by Taylor's & Company. Chiappa's 1892 reproductions have a solid reputation for smooth actions and tight fit and finish, and the Alaskan builds on that platform with weather-ready furniture and the takedown design.
