So this is coming out of a separate discussion, but I think I like Chiappa's "Double Badger," which is their knock-off of the Savage 24 over/under combo gun.
Those of you who own Chiappa guns (either the Badge or any of their other guns), what is the build quality like? I know they make a lot of historical replicas; do they match up in quality to say the pre-1964 era guns from Winchester, Colt, etc?
Apparently, they used to be Armi Sport Italy, and I had one of their Enfield 1853 rifeld-musket replicas. (I was doing Civil War reenacting back then.) Great gun, but hard to mess up a muzzle loader. Does the company today turn out guns that I can hunt with year after year after year, and then pass down to my son, or are they mostly for show/reenactments etc?
