The Bush Pilot edition was jointly developed by Chiappa and Skinner Sights as a compact survival carbine. Factory takedown engineering lets the rifle separate into two 22-inch components, fitting neatly into the supplied padded case.
A 16-inch octagonal stainless barrel with hard-chrome exterior resists weather. The 1:20 RH twist stabilizes a wide range of .44 Mag and .44 Special loads.
Skinner’s barrel-mounted adjustable aperture rear sight teams with a red fiber-optic front for high-visibility aiming in varied light. Both the receiver and barrel bear “BUSH PILOT / SKINNER SIGHTS LIMITED EDITION” engraving with a bush-plane motif.
Oil-finished straight-grip walnut furniture, a crescent steel buttplate, and a steel nose-cap maintain traditional styling. Capacity is 7 + 1 rounds, and the rifle weighs roughly 5.5–5.7 lb with a 13.25-inch length of pull.
Italian CIP proof marks and date code “CU” confirm manufacture in Gardone. With limited production and matched serials on rifle and knife, this package offers both practical utility and collectible appeal.
