Wow I absolutely love that rifle you are so lucky to own one. I want to purchase one so badly however they are so hard to find in Canada these days. The 12 inch barrel and 44mag is my favorite config. Hopefully il be able to find one in the not so distant future.
I have the regular 44 mag Chiappa mare's leg. I think the Alaskan with the full stock would be great for shooting it like a rifle. Wish I knew about this one when it came in.
Tell me about it. I missed this exact gun a few weeks ago in .357 and it was only a half hour from my house on Vancouver Island. I fiddled around a little to long and when I decided to grab it, it was sold 😡
I'm quite sure that this rifle is Canadian. But, what do I know about Italian guns, with names from cold northern peninsulas, when I live in a mitten? 😁
Well the rifle is actually Italian. Chiappa firearms are from Italy says it on the gun. They named it the Alaskan due to the marine/adverse conditions coating. Which isn't electroless nickel it is hard chrome. This specific firearm is the Canadian version with a 12 inch barrel instead of the 16 inch barrel in America due to SBR laws. It is still considered non restricted in Canada tho :)
I would trust .44 magnum to stop a Grizzly if you use a solid bullet like a Barnes and are able to place your shots with confidence. I carry a 44 with Barnes XPB solid copper for bear country, but have never had to give it a try yet, thankfully.
James Bond 44 Mag is a powerful round out of revolvers, but turns into a completely different round out of longer barrels. The ballistics on it out of longer barrels is so much better. .44 out of just a 6 in revolver barrel will stop a bear with a well placed shot.
To macewonmouse. I watched the video again. Yeah there is something wrong with what he did. He loaded a live round in the chamber with the hammer cocked and then proceeded to load the action with more live ammo. He should have lowered the hammer or not even loaded the chamber? Why not just load the action and do the lever to put a live round ???? Makes no sense and is dangerous. Again not to be a safety sally but.....true
Is there a way to load this gun +1 in the chamber and not do that? I noticed the second time he loaded the magazine first, then loaded the chamber and put 1 more in the magazine but the hammer was still cocked
The only safety this gun has is when loaded you can drop the hammer, it does not drop all the way but in this condition nothing can be actioned until you cock it back. I would prefer loading the tube first then chambering, if want to top it, the hammer can be uncocked, then load again, always with the gun pointed downrange or away from anything, it should be fine this way; I did not like it the first time he did it, makes one feel uncomfortable. I own this gun chambered in .44 with 20" barrel, they are nice and lots of fun, we should ensure always the fun can continue. I would be very nervous going to the range or hunting with Deskdrawer.
Man, you slam that beauty down awful hard on that rusty old steel table. Did your dad buy that for you? I am a bit jealous, but, any firearm should be treated like a lady.
Nope she is mine through and through. Some guns are safe queens, and some are tools. This one is a tool to me, and I don't buy tools that need to be treated like princesses. It still looks beautiful after many years of good shooting.
Gary Fischer and you sound like a complete tool. You're the kind of man whose possessions own him. A slave to beauty and wealth, not deserving of the title free or manly.
Nice little rifle. I noticed something you did not good at all. I dont wanna preach or be a safety sally, but at 1:45 you levered the action open, put a round in the chamber, closed the action, left the hammer cocked, and then loaded rounds in the mag. Dont know where the safety is or if it was on, but that was not looking good. RUclips is filled with gun accidents and malfunctions. Dont want you to become a stat bro. I care. Awww A guy I vaguely know recently loaded me some .45 long colts for my circuit judge for pig hunting. Hog loads he told me. The first shot was like a rhinocerous load. I thought It was curtains. Blew my ear out and scope hit me in the eye. The famous weatherby brow. Over loaded is an understatement
Wish I could own something so beautiful one day.

That’s a sweet setup !
Nice video! Have you had a chance to fire it a bunch more? How's it holdin' up to use?
Going to have to pick one of these up!
Hope to get one soon!
Looks like too much fun!!!
That's awesome. How's the recoil? Could you shoot a few hundred rounds without getting a sore shoulder?
I have one chambered in 45-7p govt with a 12 inch barrel and no problem it is loud but i fired 100 the other day no problem
Take your time cowboy.

How is this still the only video about this and damn they’re hard to find for sale

Your leaving yourself open for an A D by loading it that way.
I have the one with the 16" barrel as the 12" barrel model can't be taken to the states where I sometimes go to hunt.
Will it fire buffalo bore 340 grain LFN HC +P+?
I had the same question
How long is that barrel? Which is this gun, a $200 SBR or a $5 AOW?
He says around 4:00 its a 12" barrell
He is in Canada so it is just a rifle like any other, no restrictions or additional paperwork required.
What Barrel length is that rifle? I know they offer 16" and 20". That looks a little short to be a 16"
12", legal in Canada.
How much was the "special" price at Wanstalls???
Do they make one in 454 casull?
.357 - .44 Mag- 45/70
Beleza Chiappa italy

I'm quite sure that this rifle is Canadian.
But, what do I know about Italian guns, with names from cold northern peninsulas, when I live in a mitten? 😁

You can tell who's american in the comments.... They're all confused that the barrel is only 12" lmfao!
I have a 45-70 12 inch also
12.5" in Canada for $1200 if you can find one
what's the deal with the struggle to load the magazine?
hickock45 says its easier if u loosen the mag a bit
Leaned into that fucker like your gonna shoot a 338 😆😆 bahaha
You can tell he's canadian, he just said "44magnum beaver takedown" I believe! Lol!

Wanna sell it??
Stop a bear?

why are chiappa lever actions so bad at loading compared to other?

Ya, sorry pal. You look like a spoiled brat. I am pretty sure that anyone who works for his money, would not treat a gun that way.
Gary Fischer and you sound like a complete tool. You're the kind of man whose possessions own him. A slave to beauty and wealth, not deserving of the title free or manly.
Gary Fischer you should see how he treats his lady’s ,talk about slamming things on rusty tables.
Gary Fischer AKA the internet boomer. 🙄
Can this shoot to a 100 yards?

There's nothing wrong with what he did.
Shouldn't play with guns anyways. They're way to dangerous.
