Big bore power that fits in a backpack. That is the whole idea behind the Chiappa 1886 Wildlands Takedown, a modernized spin on John Browning's legendary Model 1886 built for hunters who cover real ground. It separates into two halves at the front of the receiver in seconds, so it stows in a pack, a truck box, or behind the seat of a bush plane without giving up anything when it goes back together. Chambered in .45-70 Government with a 4+1 tubular magazine, this is a rifle that hits hard enough for hogs, black bear, elk, and anything else you are likely to bump into inside 200 yards.
Chiappa did not just shorten a cowboy gun and call it a day. The 16.5-inch half octagon barrel comes threaded 5/8×24 for a suppressor or brake, and the sighting setup is genuinely useful in the field. You get a fixed fiber optic front paired with a Skinner peep rear mounted on a scout-style Picatinny rail, which also gives you a spot for a red dot or long eye relief scope if irons are not your thing. The oversized loop lever is wrapped in paracord, so it runs smooth with gloves on during a late season sit, and a paracord sling ships with the rifle for hands-free carry.
The black laminate stock and forend shrug off weather better than traditional walnut, and the matte black metalwork keeps glare down when you are trying to stay unnoticed. At 36 inches assembled it swings fast in thick timber, and broken down it is about as portable as a centerfire rifle gets. Fit and finish are what you would expect from Chiappa's Italian production, tight lockup, clean machining, and an action that smooths out nicely as you put rounds through it.
For a guide gun, a backcountry companion, or just the lever rifle you always wanted in a more packable format, the 1886 Wildlands Takedown covers a lot of bases with one gun.
The rifle separates into two sections at the front of the receiver, splitting the barrel and magazine tube assembly from the action and buttstock. No tools are needed and it goes back together in seconds. Broken down, it fits in a pack or compact case, which is the big draw for backcountry hunters and travelers.
Yes. The Skinner peep rear sight sits on a scout-style Picatinny rail, so you can add a red dot or a long eye relief scout scope without giving up much. Many owners run the excellent factory irons and keep the rail open as a backup option.
It is. The 16.5-inch barrel comes threaded in the common 5/8×24 pattern, so it accepts most .45 caliber suppressors and muzzle brakes. A brake is worth considering too, since full-power .45-70 loads out of a lever gun this handy have some thump to them.
The .45-70 is a proven big game cartridge, and even from a shorter carbine barrel it delivers plenty of energy for hogs, black bear, deer, and elk at typical woods distances. It is also a favorite for guide guns and bear defense setups where a fast-handling, hard-hitting rifle matters more than long range reach.
