Love the lever actions. I have over a dozen of them, but none of the stainless and grey laminate.........yet. Wouldn't mind one of these in a 45/70 as well.

I dunno Lund. It may not have the tactical look, but this picture makes it look pretty badass also.

But, I've been told that I shouldn't buy a firearm that looks good...

Obviously everyone has their own preferences..... for me a wooden (or fake wooden) gun is the last thing I want. Not sure why, but it reminds me of the old west, without the ability to shoot people in the street. I like the look of black/metal or if it has to be wood, at least be real good quality wood. I still want but it hasn't been in stock in Calgary since I started looking in November. I even emailed them and b!tched lol.... I may have to settle for:

I don't like it quite as much, and I'm not sure what caliber I'd get. /sigh lol

You are crazy to post those links in here. Someone may think you are wanting to be rambo or something!!
Those are some good looking firearms, and I would have a hard time deciding as well.

It is beautiful, for sure. Unfortunately, that means that we shouldn't be purchasing one.

I buy them just to pizz those types off. Last time I checked Canada wasn't a communist country.

I think I might buy one of each. Also a handgun, because I can. I may spend my life's savings on guns now, and NEVER shoot a living thing.

Nah, no Rambo here (joke understood)... I didn't even like most of the movies (1 was awesome) lol. I just want to have a few casuals beers with a life long buddy, and play Battleship. If I am ever shooting at anything living, it's purely for food, and the world has erupted in to total chaos. (Part of me can hope, right?)

I might not be a good shot but I have lots of ammo

I'm not sure what happened to the picture... if I messed up and didn't notice, or if it was removed. I'll try again.

Weird that your having issues. Ole chrome dome said the site was getting a major upgrade in February or March, I'm sure. Dale?

The stock you see on the pic of that 45-70 is not fake or cheap.
Its a cocobolo wood, in this case it's found only in South America.
Its the heart of the tree (centre) and it's very very hard and extremely expensive.
Look it up, it's not a laminate.

It's freaking beautiful too! I will definitely be looking for one.

The M590A1 is definitely badass, They do have a firing pin issue but not all of them do. If you end up with one let me know and i can send you the upgrade to fix the issue. After the upgrade they can fire thousands of rounds with no problems.

You should consider a 45-70 guide rifle, it has far better bear stopping bone crunching power then a 12guage. Nice and compact, fun to shoot, has a certain cool appeal and can easily drop any large north american animal at over 100yrds, if needed. It will leave a big asss hole also.
Though it doesn't have that military black gun look, more the John Wayne....

You've really got me thinking that I might go with the Marlin 1895 SBL first.

Question...... how is the ammo to find? And is it ridiculously spendy?

About 40.00 a box at Cabela's and never had an issue finding it. Usually use Hornady as well for most of my firearms.

One thing I have found is you really have to shop around for ammo. I have seen 556 as low as .56 and as high as .79. Adds up when you start using a lot.
