Huh, if the price and caliber is right, i'd be game.

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

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you’re capable of great violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful, you’re harmless.

I'm definitely interested...

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

I just saw an MSRP of 1899.

My big question is what does this gun offer that the marlin dark doesn't?

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.

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

I do like the full-length rail on this aero. I wish the Marlin Dark had that.

Well it's nice to have other options, I just wish they would come in .357 and .44.

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.

Up until now I've despised 'tactical lever guns with a passion. This one has piqued my interest.

I handled the Aero last week at shot show, seems nice but I am not sure about the MSRP seems high to me to compete with similar models.

View Quote 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 |

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. |

Here is my dilemma. Do I hold out for a aero lever gun or get a marlin dark.
