Some rifles are built for the gun safe. The 1892 Alaskan Takedown from Taylors & Company is built for float planes, pack frames, and whatever weather the backcountry throws at you. Made in Italy by Chiappa and imported exclusively by Taylors, this .44 Magnum lever gun splits into two halves with no tools required, so a 38 inch rifle stows into a space short enough to slide into a backpack or behind a truck seat. When you get where you're going, it snaps back together in seconds and holds its zero.
The name isn't just marketing. The receiver, 20 inch barrel, and big loop lever wear a matte chrome finish that stands up to rain, snow, and salt air far better than traditional bluing. The hardwood stock and forend are wrapped in a black rubber SoftTouch overmolding that stays grippy with wet or gloved hands, and the anti-shock rubber buttpad takes the sting out of full house .44 Mag loads. It's a working gun finish on a working gun, and it looks sharp doing it.
Underneath the modern dress is John Browning's Model 1892, one of the slickest lever actions ever designed. Chiappa tunes this one specifically to run Hornady LEVERevolution ammo, and the full length tube holds 10 rounds of .44 Magnum, which is serious payload for hogs, deer, black bear, or backup duty in big critter country. The rear peep sight sits on an integrated Picatinny rail, paired with a fiber optic front, so you get fast, precise aiming right out of the box with easy options for adding a scout style optic.
Between the tool-free takedown, the weatherproof build, and a pistol caliber that pairs nicely with a wheelgun on your hip, this is one of the most practical lever rifles you can carry into rough country. It earns its spot in the bush plane.
No, that's one of its best features. The rifle separates into two halves by hand in a matter of seconds, with each section short enough for easy packing. Reassembly is just as quick, and the design is built to return to zero when you put it back together.
Yes. The rear peep sight sits on an integrated Picatinny rail, and the barrel is set up for scout style optic mounting. A long eye relief scout scope or a compact red dot pairs really well with this platform since it keeps the receiver clear for loading and ejection.
The action is specifically tuned for Hornady LEVERevolution .44 Mag loads, so that's a great starting point. Standard .44 Magnum hunting and range ammo cycles well through the 1892 action too. The 20 inch barrel squeezes noticeably more velocity out of the .44 Mag than a revolver, making it a legitimate short to medium range big game cartridge.
It's a strong pick for deer, hogs, and black bear inside typical woods ranges, and plenty of folks carry one as a backup gun in big bear country. The weatherproof chrome and rubber overmolded furniture handle rough conditions, and the takedown feature makes it ideal for fly-in hunts or long treks where space is tight.
