I like it.

I have seen better coat hangers in a meth lab…

This one is targeted, at least in part, at those unfortunates who live in places where they’re denied possession of more conventional defensive rifles, at least until the various cases are decided by the SCOTUS, and that’s still uncertain. The rail is already popular on rifles like the Guide Guns, and the several M-lok slots out on the end of the forend are unobtrusive, at least until accessories get attached. I suspect more traditional models are coming, and the manual mentions .45 Colt and .357s. The stock is oogly as polymer stocks generally are, but makes sense for rough use. Hopefully it provides a decent cheek weld for low-mounted optics.

I finally got another truck, but still don’t have much need for a “truck gun”. This one looks like a good one for that.

😂😂😂😂

Thurston Howell III has spoken!

.
I think they'd do a 45-70 before they'd do a 500 or 460 only because of off-the-shelf ammo availability.
But yes, it would be nice to see a production gun in 460 or 500.
One of the reviewers said that 357 and 45LC were mentioned in the manual, so they're probably next.

I like the looks of the walnut version; I have the bank account for the other. I suspect that there will be other versions out there I hope. and yes, a 357 in the vicinity price range of the synthetic model would be interesting. I doubt I'll go with synthetic on a lever, but never say never.

Thanks Gilligan…

Stainless, synthetic and threaded doesn't exist elsewhere in the lever gun world. Doing that and offering it in the more popular chamberings seems to be a smart way to launch to me. A 357 and 45LC is definitely in the works according to the owners manual.

Was just about to opine that they should make one with nitrided SS like their auto pistols, but decided to check the specs on their fancy one first. Well, looks like they came close:

Forged 416 SS Receiver with polish black PVD finish
19.25" 410 SS Barrel with polished black PVD finish

Not sure how tough that stuff is, but I bet it’s tougher than Rust-O-Leum.

Have any of you seen one of these benched with a scope for some accuracy testing?

I might be in the minority, but I prefer the looks on a Winchester or Marlin.

Like a 336 ?????

If a South American 92 clone will handle Cassule . I would'nt be concerned on these new round bolt 94 clones

Different action required

You’d be wrong. A 92 is the strongest traditional lever action there is. It will handle pressures with ease that will lock a Marlin up in a second.

I got to look and hold one of these at the Great American Outdoor Show in pa this week. I'm a traditional wood and blued steel type o'girl but for the purpose of utility, this was really nice. The stock was grippy like their handguns, had the modern mounting systems for accessories, threaded,like what is popular today, and really nicely finished. I was impressed and could appreciate the attention to detail.

I fondled the same rifle you did yesterday at the Harrisburg show and I also like it as well. The rifle shoulders nice and just has a solid feel to it.

Did I say Marlin? No I said "round bolt '94 clones" cool your hubris Francis.

Look again, its a Henry action. The original Marlin 1894 that JM should have stayed with rather than caving to the Cowboy action shooters. Plenty strong. Even more so than a '92 as the round bolt is fully enclosed by steel on all 4 sides
