Chiappa Firearms Wildlands 86 .45-70 Govt 16.5" 5-Round Rifle

The Chiappa Firearms Wildlands 86 in 45-70 Government is a modern lever-action rifle built on a takedown platform designed for hunters and sport shooters who demand field-ready reliability in a powerful caliber. Chambered in 45-70 Government with a 4+1 capacity, this 16.50-inch threaded barrel rifle combines classic lever-action handling with contemporary tactical accessories, making it equally suited to backcountry hunts, hunting camps, and precision shooting scenarios where the 45-70's terminal performance is non-negotiable.

The rifle features a black anodized steel threaded barrel paired with a matte blued Picatinny rail steel receiver, enabling rapid optic mounting and light attachment without gunsmithing. The M-LOK handguard provides modern accessory integration for slings, grips, and tactical gear, while the skeletonized black synthetic stock reduces overall weight to 8.55 lbs—critical for all-day field work. Angle ejection keeps the action clear for left-handed shooters and scope mounting. The included paracord sling adds immediate field functionality. The takedown design allows field disassembly for transport or cleaning without breaking down the action itself.

This Chiappa Wildlands 86 45-70 lever-action rifle serves hunters pursuing large game at moderate ranges, sport shooters who value the 45-70's flat trajectory and energy retention, and operators who favor lever actions for their inherent reliability and low mechanical complexity. The threaded barrel accommodates muzzle devices for recoil management or sound signature reduction. With compact overall dimensions (44.6 inches) and lightweight construction, the rifle balances the raw stopping power of 45-70 ammunition with practical field mobility.
