This one is targeted, at least in part, at those unfortunates who live in places where they’re denied possession of more conventional defensive rifles, at least until the various cases are decided by the SCOTUS, and that’s still uncertain. The rail is already popular on rifles like the Guide Guns, and the several M-lok slots out on the end of the forend are unobtrusive, at least until accessories get attached. I suspect more traditional models are coming, and the manual mentions .45 Colt and .357s. The stock is oogly as polymer stocks generally are, but makes sense for rough use. Hopefully it provides a decent cheek weld for low-mounted optics.
I finally got another truck, but still don’t have much need for a “truck gun”. This one looks like a good one for that.
What fresh Hell is this?

Had some inside info a year or so ago that this was a possibility. I suggested .500 and .460. They'd sell the piss out of those... Marlin action, which is what that is, ain’t strong enough for those. Need a variation of a Winchester 92 for that. Understood, but when our S&W rep hinted that they were toying with the idea of a lever action I basically said to design something that would handle the .500 & .460. If Big Horn Armory could do it, S&W with all their muscle could do it, and for a whole lot less. You'd "think" they would see the benefit of production rifles in their two powerhouse cartridges. Maybe down the road... . I think they'd do a 45-70 before they'd do a 500 or 460 only because of off-the-shelf ammo availability. But yes, it would be nice to see a production gun in 460 or 500. One of the reviewers said that 357 and 45LC were mentioned in the manual, so they're probably next.

I like the looks of the walnut version; I have the bank account for the other. I suspect that there will be other versions out there I hope. and yes, a 357 in the vicinity price range of the synthetic model would be interesting. I doubt I'll go with synthetic on a lever, but never say never.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

Stainless, synthetic and threaded doesn't exist elsewhere in the lever gun world. Doing that and offering it in the more popular chamberings seems to be a smart way to launch to me. A 357 and 45LC is definitely in the works according to the owners manual.

Was just about to opine that they should make one with nitrided SS like their auto pistols, but decided to check the specs on their fancy one first. Well, looks like they came close:
Forged 416 SS Receiver with polish black PVD finish 19.25" 410 SS Barrel with polished black PVD finish
Not sure how tough that stuff is, but I bet it’s tougher than Rust-O-Leum.

Have any of you seen one of these benched with a scope for some accuracy testing?

I might be in the minority, but I prefer the looks on a Winchester or Marlin.

Looks like a Henry with a crossbolt hammer block. Like a 336 ?????

It will handle pressures with ease that will lock a Marlin up in a second.

I got to look and hold one of these at the Great American Outdoor Show in pa this week. I'm a traditional wood and blued steel type o'girl but for the purpose of utility, this was really nice. The stock was grippy like their handguns, had the modern mounting systems for accessories, threaded,like what is popular today, and really nicely finished. I was impressed and could appreciate the attention to detail.

The rifle shoulders nice and just has a solid feel to it.

Need a variation of a Winchester 92 for that. Look again, its a Henry action. The original Marlin 1894 that JM should have stayed with rather than caving to the Cowboy action shooters. Plenty strong. Even more so than a '92 as the round bolt is fully enclosed by steel on all 4 sides
