Some rifle designs never really go out of style, and the Model 1886 sits near the top of that list. John Browning designed the original with twin vertical locking lugs that made it strong enough for the long, heavy .45-70 Government cartridge, and Chiappa builds this modern version to the same pattern with the fit and finish you would expect from a deluxe grade lever gun. The color case hardened receiver carries those swirling blues and straw colors that no two rifles wear exactly alike, paired with a deep blued 26 inch octagon barrel and a hand-oiled checkered walnut stock with a crescent buttplate. Set it in the rack next to just about anything else and it draws the eye first.
This is not just a wall hanger. The .45-70 has been dropping big game for a century and a half, and it remains a favorite for deer, hogs, black bear, and elk at practical woods ranges. The full-length magazine tube holds eight rounds with one more in the chamber, which is generous capacity for a big-bore lever gun. The long octagon barrel adds weight out front that steadies your hold and soaks up recoil, and the 1:18 twist stabilizes the heavy bullets this cartridge is known for. Buckhorn adjustable sights keep the sighting setup period correct and quick to pick up against fur or timber.
Chiappa puts real handwork into this model, from the oil-finished walnut with cut checkering to the polished action that cycles with a satisfying, solid feel. At roughly nine pounds and 45 inches overall, it carries like a proper full-size rifle from the buffalo gun era. Whether you hunt with it, shoot silhouette matches, or just appreciate a lever gun built the way they used to be, the 1886 CCH Deluxe delivers the strength of Browning's design with finish work worthy of the Deluxe name.
The 1886 action is one of the strongest lever designs ever made, using dual vertical locking lugs instead of the toggle links found on earlier Winchesters. Chiappa builds this rifle with modern steel and manufacturing, so it handles standard factory .45-70 ammunition without issue. As with any rifle, stick to loads listed as safe for your specific action type and check your manual for guidance on higher pressure ammo.
It genuinely does both. The .45-70 is a proven big game cartridge for deer, hogs, bear, and elk at woods ranges, and the 26 inch barrel with 8+1 capacity makes it a very usable field rifle. At the same time, the color case hardened receiver, octagon barrel, and hand-oiled checkered walnut give it the look of a display-worthy piece.
This model ships set up for traditional iron sights with a buckhorn adjustable rear and blade front, and it does not come with a rail or drilled receiver mounts from the factory. Most folks run it as intended with the irons, which suit the practical range of the .45-70 well. If you want optics on a Chiappa 1886, look at their Kodiak variants, which are built with that in mind.
The .45-70 has some push, but this rifle weighs around nine pounds and that long octagon barrel puts weight forward where it helps tame muzzle rise. With standard pressure loads, recoil is more of a firm shove than a sharp crack. The crescent buttplate is period correct steel, so proper shoulder placement matters if you plan on longer range sessions.
