Chiappa 1892 L.A. Wildlands Core 357 Mag 8rd Rifle

The Chiappa 1892 L.A. Wildlands Core is a lever action rifle chambered in 357 Magnum. The 1892 name points back to one of the classic lever gun designs of the late 1800s, and the Wildlands Core takes that old pattern and sets it up for use in the field today. It holds 8 rounds. The barrel is threaded at the muzzle, so a suppressor or a muzzle device can go on once you match the thread. The metal is blued and the stock is walnut, a traditional pairing that looks right at home in a deer stand or behind the seat of a ranch truck.

357 Magnum makes a lot of sense in a lever gun. A rifle length barrel gets more speed out of the cartridge than a revolver does, recoil stays mild, and the round is easy to find. That makes this rifle one you can shoot often, and a sensible choice for deer at woods ranges, hogs, or a truck gun. If you already carry a 357 revolver, one cartridge can feed both guns. Work the lever without lifting your cheek off the stock and the follow up shot is there in a hurry.
