Despite the wide use of the polymer
in its construction, the feeling is that of
the M4; the perception is reinforced by
the constructive level of the Chiappa gun,
which is really good. The sights exactly
replicate the originals, and therefore there
is little to add; the Picatinny rail allows
mounting of any red dot, but honestly we
have not felt the need: even by precision
shooting - with a rifle in 22 LR distances
at stake are hardly those of a 223 Rem.
- dioptre and front sight performed
very well. The trigger is crisp and does
not have any excessive travel; the force
applied on the trigger was measured with
our dynamometer and resulted in 1,845
grams (4.1 lb) on average, all in all a good
rate because it combines good shooting
performance and safety.
The recoil effect was virtually

the groups we tested, is excellent for
a fun weapon and still very good in
absolute terms; furthermore, the barrel is
produced by the same Chiappa Firearms
(the company based in Brescia has an
extensive experience in the field) their
excellent level of finishing immediately
catches the eye. The action proved to be

LR cartridge does certainly not require
a similar feature. Moreover, also this
component has a realistic resemblance to
the original.
