Description

Lever-action rimfires are just plain fun, and the Chiappa LA322 Carbine Takedown adds a practical twist most of them lack. The rifle separates quickly at the receiver, no tools required, so the whole thing stows in a backpack, behind a truck seat, or in a compact case. Reassemble it in seconds and you're back to running that smooth lever like nothing happened. This version is chambered in .22 WMR, which gives you noticeably more reach and punch than a standard .22 LR, making it a genuinely useful little rifle for rabbits, squirrels, and pest control out past where a Long Rifle round starts to fade.

Why the LA322 Takedown Earns Its Spot in the Truck

At around 5.5 pounds with an 18.5 inch barrel and a 35.5 inch overall length, this carbine handles fast and carries easy all day. The under-barrel tubular magazine holds 10 rounds of .22 Magnum, loaded through a brass inner tube with a knurled knob, the same way lever guns have worked for generations. A traditional half-cock hammer serves as the safety, and the walnut pistol-grip stock gives it a warmer, more classic look than the hardwood you find on a lot of rimfires in this class. The 1:16 twist barrel stabilizes magnum rimfire loads well, and the muzzle is threaded if you want to add an accessory down the road.

Sights and Optics on the Chiappa LA322

Out of the box you get an adjustable buckhorn rear sight paired with a hooded front, a setup that works great for plinking and quick shots in the field. When you want more precision, there's a 3/8 inch dovetail machined right into the top of the receiver, so adding a rimfire scope or a rail is simple. Between the magnum chambering, the takedown convenience, and the optics-ready receiver, the LA322 makes a strong case as the rimfire that rides along on every camping trip and range day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the takedown feature on the Chiappa LA322 work?

The rifle separates into two halves at the receiver without any tools, splitting the buttstock section from the barrel and action. That drops the packed length down enough to fit in a backpack or short case, which is the whole appeal for camping, ATV trips, or tight storage. Putting it back together takes just a few seconds and it returns to zero well for a rimfire in this role.

Can I mount a scope on the LA322 Takedown?

Yes. There is a 3/8 inch dovetail machined directly into the top of the receiver, which is the standard rimfire mounting groove. You can clamp on 3/8 dovetail rings directly or add a dovetail-to-Picatinny adapter rail if your rings need one. A compact rimfire scope pairs nicely with the .22 WMR's extended range.

What's the advantage of the .22 WMR version over the .22 LR LA322?

The .22 Magnum runs flatter and hits harder than .22 LR, roughly doubling your practical range on small game and varmints. It's a better pick if you plan to use the rifle for pest control or hunting rather than pure plinking. The trade-off is a 10+1 capacity instead of 15+1 and pricier ammo, but for a working trail gun the extra performance is worth it.

How do you load the Chiappa LA322 Carbine?

It uses a classic under-barrel tubular magazine with a brass inner tube. Twist and withdraw the inner tube by the knurled knob, drop rounds into the loading port nose-first, then reinsert and lock the tube. It holds 10 rounds of .22 WMR plus one in the chamber.
