I’ve never seen the Mossberg in the flesh, but I would lean toward putting my $568 toward a used Winchester.

I’d head straight to the next big Tulsa Wanenmacher Gun Show On April 10th & 11th and put that money towards a really nice 60’s or 70’s era pre-safety Winchester 94. Lots of nice ones there two years ago at very reasonable prices.

I want one of these laminated, marinecoted 464s; ![[Linked Image from vikingshoot.com]](https://www.vikingshoot.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/mossberg-464-lever-action-marine-laminate-grey-bg-1024x256.jpg) Canadian Cabelas only, but been out of stock for more than 12 months ! Sheesh, hold into the bread basket.

If you go with the Mossberg, the only weakness that I would be aware of is that I see it has a tang safety, which may mean a rebounding hammer. That makes the possibility of a light strike more likely. Otherwise, I don't really have any reservations about the Mossberg.
I do have a M94 already, so the likelihood of me buying one is slim.

Even if they bring them back in 30-30 I'll line up for one.

Got a 65 Win 94 in my safe.
$400 when they were just collecting dust on dealer shelves used.
Hell 10 yrs or so back nobody wanted the damn things (unless pre 64).
