I don't know why anytime somebody makes a threaded lever gun they have to make it look like something Cheaper than Dirt shit out. If this gun, or probably any lever gun, came with a nice blue finish and decent wood to go with the threaded barrel I would get in line
Edit: They do/did |

I picked up my Ruglin 1894 in .44mag last week. Really nice rifle. My most fuddish gun. The Black Walnut is excellent. Ruger has a good thing going here with the Marlin line.

View Quote I wonder if the bean counters at Ruger are reevaluating their $30 million investment considering that each model has to be re-engineered causing a painfully slow rollout of product. |

My Dad would not approve!
I like black/polymer guns, too, but I don't see the interest in this. A lever action should be walnut and blued steel. Bring on the "boomer" rants & hateposts. |

Quoted: Subsonic 45-70 still hits like a freight train. Lots of uses for that. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Are tactical lever actions a ban state thing or a range toy thing? Subsonic 45-70 still hits like a freight train. Lots of uses for that.

I like them in a weird way. I get the appeal and while I don’t think I have need of sending 45/70 here in the south East, I do like the option.
My wife’s HD choice is a 357 lever. She’s not gun savvy and not interested in training. She wielded it well in our neighborhood shooting adventure and while it’s not as whiz bang tactical as my load out, an 11 round 357 throwing hate almost as hard as 30/30 is good back up. I loaded the tube so all she has to do is run it like a red Ryder, just louder. Any idea if a Griffin Revolution 45 is rated for small doses of 45/70? Attached File |

Quoted: If it doesn't come in .35 Remington, I'm not interested. View Quote Yes they definitely need it in .35. But I’d drop some coin on the .44 Just built a similar gun with a Henry X in .357 with Ranger Point Precision furniture. It’s topped off with an Octane 9 can. Been carrying it the last few days for deer season. |

Lately I have been using my YHM R9 on it and it's still quiet. R9 is fairly cheap and comes with the threaded adapter in 1/2x28. Hopefully Ruger will have the .357 levers threaded in 1/2x28. I also have a 3 lug mount for it, but it's recommended the .357 be used with the threaded adapter. |

Quoted: I mentioned this is the last thread. I like it and the price isn't terrible. I bought my Henry X series during covid. It took the better part of a year to track one down local and I paid $850 for mine. Add on approx $200 for the handguard and $200 for the top rail/sight set and it's about where this is at and it's a 45/70. I believe the Henry X series prices have gone up as well. I fucked up the front sight while installing the X-sight. I wanted 1/2x28 anyway, so I paid a shop to chop it from 17.5" to around 16.5" and thread it 1/2x28. It's a fuck ton of fun, and pretty damn quiet suppressed. I let folks shoot it often and most think it had a squib the recoil is soft and the report so quiet. https://i.imgur.com/I4Ghpkp.jpg View Quote And 3 years later you still can’t find one at MSRP especially 38/357. |

I'm sad they don't offer it in .357 mag. That's the one I want, so I can shoot super-quiet subs through my 9mm PCC suppressor.

Yea some people like large loops and some don’t. They are easy enough to change out. If you want more traditional they have stainless and blued rifles as well in the $500 range. I’ve got a 16” stainless in .357. Sold the pig 1894csbl I had and never looked back. Put a dot on it for deer season so the kids can use. Attached File |

If they actually start producing them in greater volume you should be able to find it for $1,200 |
