The lever action shotgun has a short list of true icons, and the 1887 sits right at the top of it. John Browning drew it up as the first commercially successful repeating shotgun, and Chiappa builds this faithful reproduction with real steel, real walnut, and the kind of old-world finish work you just don't see on most modern production guns. This Mare's Leg version chops the classic down to a fixed pistol grip and a 27.5 inch overall length, giving you a 12 gauge repeater that handles like nothing else out there.
The 18.5 inch smoothbore barrel wears a deep blued finish and a simple brass-style bead up front, while the receiver and lever show off genuine color case hardening with those swirling blues and straw tones that make every gun unique. The grip and forend are hand-oiled European walnut, so the whole package looks like it walked straight out of the 1880s. Underneath the vintage looks, Chiappa worked an internal safety into the solid lever design, and the action cycles with a satisfying mechanical thunk that reminds you this thing is all steel.
The chamber accepts 2-3/4 inch shells, and the magazine tube holds five rounds with one more in the chamber for a 5+1 total. A fixed modified choke keeps patterns useful at practical distances, whether you're busting clays for fun or working a cowboy action stage. At 7.8 pounds, it carries enough heft to soak up 12 gauge recoil better than you might expect from something this compact, though light target loads are still the sweet spot for a full afternoon of shooting.
Plenty of folks buy the 1887 Mare's Leg because it looks incredible, and there's nothing wrong with that. It photographs beautifully, sparks conversations at the range, and pairs perfectly with any western or movie-inspired collection. But this is no wall hanger. It loads, cycles, and patterns like a proper working shotgun, which is exactly what makes it such a fun one to own.
The chamber is cut for 2-3/4 inch 12 gauge shells, so stick with standard length loads and skip the 3 inch magnums. The tube holds five rounds plus one in the chamber. Light target and cowboy action loads are the most pleasant to run through it, though it handles standard field loads just fine.
No, the 18.5 inch barrel has a fixed modified choke rather than a threaded tube system. Modified is a solid middle-of-the-road constriction that patterns well with birdshot at typical clay and field distances, so most owners never miss having interchangeable chokes on a gun like this.
It's fully functional and built from steel with hand-oiled walnut furniture, so it shoots as well as it looks. The lever action cycles smoothly once broken in, and the solid lever design includes an internal safety. Plenty of buyers run these in cowboy action matches or just for fun at the range.
The Mare's Leg swaps the traditional buttstock for a fixed walnut pistol grip, bringing overall length down to a compact 27.5 inches while keeping the same 18.5 inch barrel. You get the same lever action, 5+1 capacity, and color case hardened receiver in a shorter, more distinctive package inspired by classic western styling.
