Which 1886?
Buckaroo Lou:
I can't say for certain because I have never shot the Italian rifle, but I think the early problems have been resolved, I have only heard good things about them of late.
I fairly recently bought the new Winchester by Miroku and other than the tang safety it has a very classic look since it has the case colored frame, lever, crescent butt plate, and fore end cap. Personally I wish it didn't have the tang safety but actually it doesn't bother me that much. Neither does the rebounding hammer. Other than it not having a safety notch in the hammer it cocks and shoots just as my Browning SRC.

Iconic designs deserve to be left as is and not "lawyered" into something else.

;D
The Chiappa is not lawyered, and is well made. I"m not really that sure its a great shooter, but then I only have 130 rounds through it. I have three 45-70's to work up loads for. Sharps one done, close on 1886, and I have another. The 1886 is very comfortable to shoot being a nice heavy gun. I didn't get the Winchester because of the lawyer stuff. The Tang safety is where the TANG sight goes.

I would do that, bilut I'm a shooter MUCH more than collector. I don't like to shoot history if I can avoid it. I do shoot a ww2 Remington Rand 1911 though.
