Too rich for my wallet

I really like the wood stocked model, but not the price.

 

[mcapo]

Not sure this is what the market is asking for?

Credit to SW for expanding its product line, even though many new releases the past couple years are versions of another manufacturers firearm.

I will say that I appreciate the threaded barrel on the wood stocked model. Lately it seems you have to go polymer or laminate to get that.

At BPS, we have a lot of people coming in and asking about our lever guns, we've sold a number of the Marlin 45-70's, and Henry .22's, with Rossi .357, and .44's bringing up the rear. We have the Rossi 30/30 at around $850, but I've not sold any. Levers are a thing right now, Smith is responding to demand, but the wood versions price is kind of steep..

Ugly cross bolt safety. But rifle does look beautiful. Any other caliber?

336 used to be like a $350 budget rifle. Somehow doing your own work became a premium feature.

Hopefully as more manufacturers enter the market prices will inch down.

Honest outlaw reviews already has a video up on it and shoting it. Haven't had chance to watch it all way yet

It’s a pretty rifle and I sure love lever guns but I don’t see the $$$….. you’re closely approaching Big Horn Armory Territory. My Henry’s are fine rifles and I have a 357 and 44 in the new Marlin 1894’s and they are exquisite. S&W better sharpen their pencil because they aren’t known for lever actions versus those that are. Just my .02. I would have loved a nice reproduction of the original Volcanic!!! And a removable mag tube… facepalm!!!

I have to say that, after their teaser pic, I was kinda hoping for a repro also. :-((

Lever guns certainly are doing well these days.

Same MSRP as the Rugerlin.

They look like a Henry except for the addition of the safety, and the forearm is a bit longer.

They have seen a resurgence in popularity, just ready for people to realize that you're not going to make a lever gun for 300.00 like we remember, it's not 1980 anymore. Some of the MSRP's are a bit out there though.

The problem was Ruger had to make all new machines because the old Marlin equipment was unserviceable. And S&W started from scratch so a 1200 dollar range MSRP is going to be the new norm.

That said I would have never thought an AR 15 from a major player (Colt S&W Rock River etc) would ever be less than a ln a U.S. made lever gun

Interesting times

It's a cross between the Henry big boy X and the Henry all weather

Everything was fine until he said the Henry big boy X sells for $1500 to 1600. More like 950.

Ohh look, another S&W meeeeeee toooo knockoff.
