Lever action craze is real. Seems it could be a slippery slope for those looking to get into the game at this point.

What I could find is 30-30 and 45-70 only and two versions. A tacticool option and a more traditional wood stocked version.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mousehunter: Unless I am mistaken, the Dark is not currently being manufactured - well the Aero is not either, but it might be before the Dark is reintroduced. Second, it appears to have a free float hand guard, the dark was barrel band only. That said, it appears to be using a Rifle action, not the Marlin carbine action. I would suspect they might offer it in different flavors than Marlin does - Marlin really has not been trying very hard to put out a lot of new caliber options. Of course, it is entirely speculative which calibers might end up being offered eventually - for this and the S&W. Honestly, just looks alone, this is one of my favorite looking tactical lever action so far. But it is hard to say what the production models will look like - or moreover how they will function and shoot.

I just want a tacticool lever action in .357 for under $1200. I've been waiting on a Herny X but keep missing out.

Boring caliber choices, but no problem finding ammo for them (unless you're talking pistol calibers but that would take a different platform with a smaller frame ) |

I really like how their stock has the QD point centered up on the back of the stock. The other after market ones have it at the top and it causes the gun to roll when wearing it across your chest at a 45 deg angle.

I hope they come in around 1500. I think that would put them in range of the marlin dark. Those are around 1200 and don't have a full-length rail like the aeros. |

They need to lighten it up, it's heavy. Handled well though, I would hope they shave some weight for production guns.

Around the 2:00 mark the aero guy mentions product release at shot show in 2025. Lots of development ahead.

Different guns for different folks.
I own quite a few traditional levers , one of my smartest moves was buying them when prices were somewhat reasonable. To my way of thinking slapping a Lyman aperture sight or low power scope in super low rings gives me everything I need and all the do-dads would just add a bunch of nearly useless weight. Todays prices on lever guns that are mostly finished pretty rough strikes me as just plain nuts |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Cardplayer: Lever action craze is real. Seems it could be a slippery slope for those looking to get into the game at this point. Coming from a big high plains state out west where long range was king, I despised lever guns and pumpkin trajectory cartridges like the .30-30 and the obsolete .38-55 and .45-70. That changed when I moved to the black hills where pine forest, occasional dense stands of jack pine and plenty of vertical terrain made a heavier long range rifle much less practical. I bought a 1956 Model 94 for $275 and discovered it was a delight to carry. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that with a tang sight it would shoot 5 shot 1.25 MOA groups at 100 yards. I went 30 years without a lever gun and now almost 30 years later I have 20 of them, not counting the Sharps and a couple 1885s. I’m also a huge fan of the now back again better than ever .38-55. My preferred woods deer hunting rifle is a 20” Model 94 take down rifle in .38-55, followed closely by a 20” Model 64 in .30-30. —- And yet this Aero Precision thing just doesn’t speak to me at all. |
