I have 1894s in 357 and 44 and they are a blast to shoot.
Leverguns can do A LOT of sustained damage even in a modern warfare setting. They can be fired faster than bolt action rifles too. However, a "TACTICAL" levergun is just a marketing gimmick though. Any old functioning levergun right out the box should do fine if the person shooting it knows what they are doing. They'll get you heavier weapons in no time.
They're getting a leg up for when the ATF tells them their semis are machine guns and they turn them in.
Yeah, but only because I now have them. However, when it wasn't doing it's job in the deer stand, the 30-30 Win. lever action has been the go-to 'Don't fuck with us' carbine for ours and most households growing up and handled that role just fine.
Fast, deadly accurate and reliable, I would have no hesitation using mine again in that role.
Took the words right out of my mouth - it's the only thing, at least to me, that answers the "why" after the generic "because we can, this is America dummy!".
"Normalizing" an alternative to the "evil black rifles".
Bonus points if you see a single time in the video they use the ammo stored on their gun...
@buffalowinter now that's someone I'd like to learn from!

Fuck I bet 90% of us on here couldn't do that
Best use of a lever action is to hang it over the fireplace, *loaded, and is in wait for home invaders. Looks like an antique wall hanger but is ready to go. And cheap enough to be stolen (Rossi).
*empty chamber, safety on. Just because you don't know who might decide to finger fuck your mantle gun when you're not around.

My wife, a previous World Champion. Her targets are about twice as far and half the size in Matt Black's video
Me shooting an 1886 45-70. Targets at about 50 to 75 yds. The Black Badge I'm wearing is only given to Overall Winners of the World Championship.

Yeah and smelly good beard creams are a thing as well
Remember, not too long ago everyone thought bolt action rifles were just hunting style rifles. In the 80s you would be hard pressed to find a bolt action rifle that came in a fiberglass stock.
that is some cool shooting. I really want to get into CAS but dont have the time...
PS I hate it but I really want a tactical lever rifle.
I shot my last bear with an original 1876 Winchester in 50-90. I wasnt sure if I hit on my first shot so I levered a new round in too fast and stove piped it. ugh. Lucky the bear died. The shockwave of the 450 grain bullet killed him lol...

They are some wicked fun....also great to keep in the truck when in Californiastan....no one expects a tactical lever gun
You’re behind the times.
I’ve been saying for years that lever guns would make an excellent suppressor host, I’m just glad someone else’s finally started doing it. I’m no machinist.

They probably opening up another niche training opportunity because those calibers are the only thing thats available and cheap(ish)

Contact them. I think they will load up ammo for orders, just not stocking items at this time.
50-95 vs 6br
lots of people load these oddball calibers. just have to buy when they do a run. just found some brass on gunbroker. this rifle isnt one you shoot a bunch. kind of a one of a kind import from England.
ETA: ITS A 50-95 not a 90.

Gosh, CAS seems to have gone a bit 'IPSC',
If you think "IPSC" means targets an arm's length away and bunny fart loads then I don't think you know what IPSC means.
I want a 6br barrel bad. I don't know if I should rebarrel my old savage 10, or remage my chassis gun and swap between 308 and 6br.
I just don't need 3 rifles of the same caliber. Also want a lever gun but the prices have gone full ruhtard, and I refuse to get a new one with a cross bolt safety. I know it’s regulation bs, but why the fuck does a single action revolver or lever action need a damn safety?

What! more like 110% ,myself included.
I could put all those rounds on target, set the timer for ten minutes though
Conversely, I'm not sure I could shoot those guns that fast with a dirt berm as the 'target...'I could put all those rounds on target, set the timer for ten minutes though
I’d drop the hammer on my thumb at least once

One of these chambered in 9mm or 10mm could be a fun little plinker.
Yeah I couldn't do that. Without lots of practice and then probably not that impressive
