OK, so I have been lusting after a new Winchester 1886 Short Rifle and 1892 Short Rifle for awhile now and decided that my next new rifle purchase will be the 1886.
The other day I was kicking around on Chiappa's web page and found that they make 1886 and 1892 rifles in several different variants. I was a bit surprised to see this as I had no idea that Chiappa makes these rifles.. They look like very nice rifles. So I did a little looking on a popular online firearms distributor and was a bit surprised to see the prices that were coming up. They are right on par with the Winchesters on that metric..
So what I'm wondering is how the two compare?? For roughly the same money, is one better than the other?? I have observed very little in the way of poor ratings about the Miroku Winchester rifles seems as though every person who buys one loves everything about it with reports of excellent fit and finish, and perfect functionality.. A high quality firearm in pretty much every way.
How does the Chiappa compare?? Anyone have one? Anyone use or fondle one?? I do like that Chiappa offers more variants of these models to choose from in terms of length, finish, and stock/grip profile...
