The Chiappa 1887 Bootleg shotgun is a modern, compact replication of the classic 1887 Lever Action Shotgun. Known for its speed and reliability in Cowboy Action competition, this model features an 18.5" barrel, matte blue finish, and a hand-oiled walnut forearm and pistol grip, offering the same robust performance as the full-sized models but in a more compact form. Chambered in 12-gauge, it holds five rounds in its magazine tube, making it ideal for both competition and home defense. The shotgun is built with a single-action trigger system, a standard lever, and features an ejector extraction system for reliability. Weighing in at just 6.6 lbs with an overall length of 27.5", the 1887 Bootleg is compact and highly maneuverable, yet maintains the rugged durability of its predecessors. With its steel construction and hammer half-cock internal safety, this lever-action shotgun offers both historical charm and modern functionality.
