Looking at Chiappa's offerings overall, I cannot be convinced that quality is there. The .22 levergun is crap-on-a-stick, as the others I've looked at, are.

Maybe they've upped their game in the past two years or so, but I'm not going to be the guinea pig to find out. I was really disappointed in that little levergun, with cast parts everywhere, and poorly cast, at that. Large gaps in places that shouldn't be open to the elements, etc.


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
