Chiappa 920.188 Little Sharps | .22 LR | 24 in

The Chiappa Little Sharps 920.188 is a single-shot falling-block rifle chambered in .22 LR, built as a scaled reproduction of the classic Sharps design. It pairs a 24-inch blued octagon barrel to a color case hardened receiver and a hand-oiled walnut fixed stock, producing a traditional appearance and straightforward operation. The rifle includes an adjustable dovetail blade front sight and a diopter rear sight, and it uses a double-set trigger with an automatic safety for the hammer. For an optic under $1,000 that complements the rifle’s sighting geometry and intended uses, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 scope for clear 22 LR performance and lightweight balance.

Typical applications for this rifle include precision target shooting at established ranges and Cowboy Action Shooting events where historical form and single-shot operation are desirable.
