Dayton, OH (September 2, 2025) – A great firearm comes from heritage and prestige, with a cultivated history sought after over other options. Nothing fits that definition better than the lever-action rifle. The design has been cemented into culture since its inception and requires few, if any, changes. Chiappa continues the tradition with the 86 Wildlands Angle Ejection Takedown, a firearm worth the heritage and a close look.
The 86 Wildlands Angle Ejection Takedown is a modern take on the old lever-action classic. Chambered in 45/70, it is a fully capable rifle that moves to add modern characteristics. Built with a 1:18 twist 16.5-inch barrel and a magazine tube capacity of 4+1, it is a heavy hitter that can easily follow up, shot after shot. The barrel is 5/8×24 threaded to attach muzzle devices, accept thread protectors, recoil mitigation devices, or suppressors.
The stock is skeletonized with an adjustable comb and outfitted with an attachment point for accessories or cartridge holders. An integrated adjustable cheek rest allows for precise comfort. The forend is made from overbuilt aluminum with M-LOK adaptability and features an over receiver rail for optics attachments. The lever is wrapped in black paracord for easy use and comfortable operation.
The 86 Wildlands Angle Ejection Takedown is finished in a matte blued style, adding a tactical look and style. Once fired, spent cases are ejected to the side, accommodating any optic. The main distinguishing characteristic of the rifle is the takedown feature, allowing the rifle to be separated into two pieces, connecting to the receiver’s front. Users can mount a scope on the rear portion of the picatinny rail and disassemble the rifle without removing the scope, making the 86 Wildlands Takedown perfect for easy carrying and storage while retaining full rifle functions. When assembled, quick connections are located on various rifle points for quick sling attachment and removal.
The 86 Wildlands Angle Ejection Takedown is not just any lever action, but one to carry, use, and bestow.
