3500 is kinda steep for the wood. Buy a couple JM Marlins for that with money left over

Looks like a direct copy, excepting the extractor, of a Marlin right down to the push button safety. Why do all these companies always copy the Marlin?
I would like to see someone do something different. Maybe give the Winchester 92 design an angle eject makeover like the 94.

Looks like a Henry with a crossbolt hammer block.

Had some inside info a year or so ago that this was a possibility. I suggested .500 and .460. They'd sell the piss out of those...

When 12 year old lawyers design a lever action.

.....I suggested .500 and .460. They'd sell the piss out of those... Would agree with that! Don't know why they jumped into a crowded market with a .44 (Marlin, Henry, Rossi, Winchester). A .460 that worked with .454 and .45 Colt...... now that would be the berries!

I crossed S&W off my list after they destroyed Thompson Center.

Need a variation of a Winchester 92 for that. Understood, but when our S&W rep hinted that they were toying with the idea of a lever action I basically said to design something that would handle the .500 & .460. If Big Horn Armory could do it, S&W with all their muscle could do it, and for a whole lot less. You'd "think" they would see the benefit of production rifles in their two powerhouse cartridges. Maybe down the road...

Very nice. Assuming a 1:20 twist, I would buy the $1,200 gun if S&W would put it in a wood or laminated stock. A suppressed .44 lever would be fun.

Something like this in .44 mag. Don't care if it says Marlin, S&W or Ruger. Would be nice if it would feed an RCBS 250K or similar length and profile. https://www.marlinfirearms.com/s/leverAction-SBLSeries/

Day late, dollars too high.
Results speak for themselves. Dying brand.
I'd rather wait on a Rugerlin or buy a rossi to beat on.
We got a 357 marlin NIB day before yesterday. Priced at MSRP sold in 3 hours.
