Modern take on the American lever-action classic. Chiappa's LA322 in .22 Magnum features an 18.5-inch barrel, 10-round capacity, adjustable sights, and quick-detach takedown design for easy transport.
The Modern Lever-Action Rimfire
Chiappa's LA322 represents a thoughtful evolution of an American shooting tradition. This lever-action carbine chambers the .22 Magnum rimfire—a cartridge that delivers genuine power for small game hunting and extended plinking sessions without the recoil or noise of centerfire rifles.

Why the LA322 Works
Lever-action rifles reward shooters who understand their mechanics. The LA322's smooth action cycles quickly, making rapid follow-up shots natural and intuitive. The .22 Magnum cartridge strikes an excellent balance—powerful enough for fox, coyote, and raccoon at reasonable distances, yet mild enough for extended practice sessions. The takedown feature transforms this rifle from a range gun into a genuine hunting companion that fits in a daypack.
Whether you're introducing a young shooter to lever actions or adding a versatile rimfire to your battery, the Chiappa LA322 delivers the accuracy, reliability, and character that define this rifle category.
