Watching the Sootch review now. Receiver is forged 416R, lever is carbon steel. There is a half-cock notch. Not sure I like the way the mag tube comes completely out. Flat-faced trigger, pull about 3 1/4lbs. Torx screws. Definitely a Marlin copy.
I think I’d keep a ranger band around that tube to ensure no whoopsies in the field.😱
.45 Colt and .357 coming….
