Home Forums Lever Action Central Big Bore Levers Marlin lever in .475 Linebaugh.

Anyone seen one yet?
May be later the 500 Linebaugh!!!!

Last word from the factory was that the 475/480 was dropped from consideration. The risk management dept. was apparently skeered the round was too hot for the action. If you want a 500, it would have to be a custom job. SW

Wild West Arms (?) in Alaska makes a .500 S&W on their own lever action. I have not seen one yet. They are not cheap!!! Wild West makes high quality customs. Too rich for me! Good luck.....

I wanted to order one in 475 but i was told by my dealer they stopped production i think it would be a nice rifle pistol combo i haven't found any on the auction sites either although i'm broke right now it's the time i would find one

I have handled the Rossi 454 and 480. They seem crudely finished and hence over-priced. I could see paying $300 for one, but not $500.

The 500 Linebaugh is a shortened 50 Alaskan, and hence there is only one action suitable for it, the Mdl 71.

I sure wish I could get a 480 lever as a companion to my revolver. I figure 400 gr @ 1500 fps should work ok <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

there is only one action suitable for it


So we are dicounting the Browning BLR all together
or the Winchester Mod 86.....

The Browning BLR Will handle a 50-110 Wichester

so wil lthe 1886 ...... and i would trust the Browning BLR
wayyyyyyyy before i would a mod 71.


And as for the Marlin Lever Action you can and i have shot super heavy load's through it all day long .
and i mean SUPER heavy load's..

I have also taken mine and one other to a gunsmith to have
the head spacing checked just to make sure i was not over doing it ......Zip noda ....

Before you under rate the marlin lever action
( mine's a GS 45/70 ) take one out for a walk..
