    2 A had one of these Taylor's Alaskans 44 mag in stock. I had a hard time deciding between the two. If I would have had the money, I would have bought that too!

    I like those guns but frankly cant bring myself to purchase at the current price point. The finish is nice for a "hand pick" Chiappa but expensive. $1100 for a rubberized wood stock and a takedown is highway robbery.

    If they were closer $800 to $900 would be a more reasonable proposition.

    They are competing against the Trails End takedowns which are about $1100 to $1200.

    I understand your point. I would have liked it better if it had a real wood stock but I can see why they did the rubber coating. This gun is meant to be taken into the woods...a lot. This thing has a smooth action, I'll give it that.

    Thought you bought the 73?

    The Taylor/Chiappa 94s are ok as noted above, just not at the price point. If I was kayaking I would probably consider one. As for taken into the woods, lots of plain steel Winchester 94s have been taken into the woods a lot too, little care, little oil it will last a couple generations.

    Not knocking em, just overpriced for what they are.

    Yes, I bought the 1873. I tried the action on the Chiappa. It was smooth. That's all I was trying to say. As for price, it was cheaper than the Winchester I did buy.

    You got a real nice piece. Ive seen a few, good stuff.

    Hopefully tomorrow I will have a pre-63 94 in .32 Special joining my collection.

    I've had a couple of 94s. One was a pre 64 but I had to sell it to buy something else back in the day. I was quite a bit younger, limited funds, and had not yet learned NOT to sell anything I had bought! I miss that rifle and the 94 Trapper I had. Oh well.

    Please excuse the butt pads, those were from when my son was younger. The 1894 is showing several battle scars. I purchased it that way for $175 from White Marsh Arms several years ago. It was a DNR seized firearm.

    Marlin 336C 30-30 win. This is an older pic. I recently put a Nikon on it with a one piece mount. Much better set up now, but I still need to get it to the range.
