I wish somebody would make an affordable lever gun in 460s&w. I don't really want to pay $3,100 for one.

MI rail is on order. Mounted an extra aimpoint I had laying around on it. This is my first lever gun and I’m in love!

I can’t think of a better setup. I much prefer the Marlins to the Henry’s, although I haven’t shot the newer X series so not sure on those. But the 1894’s have a ton of aftermarket support and can be slicked up nice.
Depend who you ask. Generally you have the traditional crowd who frowns on any modern attachment lol.
I will say the Razor is a heavy bitch and it makes the light and skinny lever guns feel like they have a lopsided brick on them. Because of how short they are vertically, they feel much more awkward than an AR with heavy optics.
A lot of guys like a 1-4/1-6 on them but I’d go lighter and mounted lower

With 45-70 so prevalent I’m not sure the market is there for it.
Razor is a very nice scope but i would go would something lighter.The swfa 1x4 is a nice little scope i run one on a 10/22 and take it out to 200 yds with no problem.

Question for you lever experts. Are any or all of these cartridges safe to use in a tube? The nose on the Remington is the same size as the primer. Its not just the point, its the recoil that applies force to the primer from the round stacked in front of it. Its not enough in a 38 special to...
www.snipershide.com It's super light and functional even out to 200 yards with the .44 Mag, so it should be capable at 200-300 with a .45-70.

My son has that same rifle. I gave it to him when he was little and now he’s a Soldier and still loves his 22 the best.
Thanks I appreciate that.
The unmolested ones are getting harder and harder to find.
Most have what I referred to as
“the sniper rifle modification”
A drilled receiver to mount a scope.
I like Marlin 39A. I have given 1 to each of my 3 kids and 4 grandkids.
I don't like the ones with the push button lawyer safety.
The older ones are getting harder to find and pricy. Hope my kids are done having younguns.
I have been shooting mine for over 50 years and never had a problem with it.

It really is a good looking rifle. Clean lines, everything flows together aesthetically. Simpler times.
Great looking rifle. Very similar to the setup I want to start on.
Henry X .357 & .44, and a recent Marlin 45-70.
Debating a Dead Air Primal can for it.

Which is your fav to shoot?
In the last couple of months of 2022 I picked up 3 new Henry X models, 357 Mag, 30-30 and a 45-70. I have orders in for Midwest industries handguards and Chisel stocks. I gave my Henry .357 Mag Big boy steel side gate to my son. No picks as they all look like a Henry X model, black plastic.
