## Description

The Chiappa Model 1892 Take Down is a lever-action rifle chambered in .357 Mag., combining a classic exposed-hammer design with a color case receiver and blued barrel. The 25" barrel gives it enough sight radius and velocity for hunting and sport shooting, while the 12-round capacity keeps you in the fight longer than most lever guns. Front and rear sights are both adjustable for windage, with the rear long buckhorn also adjustable for elevation.
