Dayton, OH (April 7, 2026) – The Chiappa 92 Core in the Wildlands series is built around one priority: a lever-action that stays simple, fast, and ready without drifting into range-toy excess. It is intended to be a working rifle that shoulders naturally, cycles smoothly, and carries the features that matter most when the moment is short and conditions are not ideal. Chiappa describes it as focused on “simplicity, instinct, and reliability,” which defines the Core: practical configuration, purposeful features, and a classic platform enhanced with Wildlands refinement.
Each Wildlands rifle brings a unique, practical approach to the lever-gun market. Designed for optimal usability and versatility, Wildlands Lever Action Rifles represent a balanced blend of useful and classic design. With modern additions, each Wildlands rifle addresses needs that traditional aesthetics did not fully accommodate decades, and in some cases centuries, ago. The 92 Core has an angle eject versus top eject action, allowing for an optional picatinny mount for the purpose of adding an optic. The forend of the handsome walnut stock features three integrated M-LOK slots for tastefully mounting modern firearm accessories.
The 92 Core is chambered in .44 MAG and feeds 8+1, pairing a proven lever-action format with a cartridge that remains well suited for woods distances, property use, and close-to-mid-range hunting. Its 16.5-inch (419mm) barrel keeps the rifle compact and responsive. Chiappa threads the muzzle 5/8×24, providing compatibility with modern muzzle devices where legal and practical.
This lever gun does not require extensive explanation to justify its purpose. It is built to be intuitive. The Core format maintains clean, approachable handling, designed to mount quickly and remain balanced in the hands. For shooters seeking a lever-action that functions as a field tool rather than a display piece, the 92 Core occupies a practical position: compact barrel length, practical capacity, and modern muzzle threading while retaining the traditional spirit that defines the platform.
The 92 Core expands the Wildlands lever-action family with a disciplined configuration built for real use, responsive handling, and the core specifications shooters expect in a modern lever gun. With a traditional look and feel, and without unnecessary accessories or overbearing rail systems, the 92 Core meets the needs of backwoods users and lever-gun enthusiasts alike.
