There's a reason the Model 1886 has stuck around for well over a century. John Browning designed it to handle the biggest cartridges of its day, and the .45-70 Government still hits with authority whether you're after hogs, black bear, or whitetail in thick timber. Chiappa's 1886 CCH Carbine is a faithful reproduction of that original design, trimmed down to a 22 inch barrel that keeps the overall length at a handy 40.5 inches and the weight around 7.4 pounds. That's a rifle you can carry all day and swing fast when a shot comes together quick.
The CCH in the name stands for color case hardened, and it's the first thing you'll notice when you pick this one up. The receiver wears those swirling blues and straw tones that made the originals so good looking, paired against a deep blued barrel and full-length magazine tube. The stock and forend are hand-oiled walnut, not a sprayed-on finish, so the wood has real depth to it and takes touch-ups easily after seasons in the field. Chiappa builds these to a fit and finish level that surprises a lot of folks the first time they handle one.
The full-length tube holds seven rounds of .45-70, giving you 7+1 on tap, which is generous capacity for a big-bore lever gun. Sights are traditional and effective: a blade up front with a semi-buckhorn rear that adjusts for elevation, the same setup hunters have trusted on lever actions for generations. The action cycles smooth right out of the box thanks to the 1886's twin vertical locking bolts, a design known for strength and slick operation.
Whether you want a serious brush gun, a range rifle with real character, or a piece of firearms history you can shoot without guilt, this carbine covers all three. It's the kind of rifle that gets handed down, not traded in.
It's a faithful reproduction of John Browning's original 1886 design, built by Chiappa in Italy with modern steel and manufacturing. It uses the same twin vertical locking bolt action that made the original famous for strength and smooth cycling. The main differences are modern metallurgy and quality control, which are good things when you're feeding it today's .45-70 loads.
The 1886 action is one of the strongest lever designs ever made, and Chiappa's modern steel construction rates it well above the old black powder era guns. Standard and lever-gun rated loads run great through it. As with any rifle, stick to ammo loaded to published specs and check your owner's manual for guidance on the hotter stuff.
The carbine trades four inches of barrel and a couple pounds of weight for much better handling in the field. At 40.5 inches overall and about 7.4 pounds, it points quicker and carries easier through brush and timber. The longer octagon-barrel rifle gains a slightly longer sight radius and an extra round of capacity, but most hunters find the carbine the more practical of the two.
It ships with a traditional blade front sight and a semi-buckhorn rear that adjusts for elevation, which is a proven setup for hunting distances where the .45-70 shines. The rifle is set up as a classic iron-sight gun and doesn't come drilled for a scope base. Most owners keep it traditional, and aftermarket peep sight options exist if you want a faster sight picture.
