37 inch lever action rifle weighing 6 ½ lbs with a six round magazine and minute-of-angle accuracy. The rifle is re-chambered for the new hot 457 WWG which fires a 350 grain bullet at around 2,300 feet per second. The rifle is also able to fire all lever action .45/70 loads and single feed a 2.5″ .410 shot shell giving it a wide range of cartridge power making it extremely versatile.
.45/70 is good, but how about 30/30, or .45 Long Colt? And lose the stock engraving (unless you could do a skull, or flag).
I'd want it in a less pricy/more available caliber, too. That .45LC would do just fine- and it looks too much like a Red Ryder BB gun for my liking. One of "seven favorite truck guns," is it?
ReplyDeleteWell, at that price I wouldn't be chucking it in the back of the pickup, but no doubt somebody would!
When I looked at the price, I confirmed that they seem inordinately proud of that rifle.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a beauty but take-downs are notorious for becoming loose over time and use.
ReplyDeleteI could see a 45LC or better yet a 454 Casull. But their price will keep me away. I can build a quick disconnect, sub-MOA, SBR 458 Socom much cheaper.
ReplyDeletewhere does it say the price?

DeleteThis is the rifle featured in the 2017 Hollywood movie, "WIND RIVER".
ReplyDeleteplywood furniture for that much???
ReplyDeleteThe associated article on favorite "truck guns"? Holy heck, he's got to be kidding. The truck guns I'm familiar with cost less than $300, come from pawn shops, and aren't chambered in any custom calibers. Guess I'm not in the target demographic, even though I own multiple lever guns and a bakers dozen revolvers, counting the cap-n-ball fun guns. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteI hear that. A mini 14 in .223 can reach out and do a number on a coyote for a lot cheaper.
DeleteWell, considering that today's trucks now cost the same as a house, the $200 truck gun just isn't going to cut it anymore. After all, who wants to put a $200 gun in their $80,000 truck?
DeleteM134D on a flexible mount. and how much 7.62x51 can be hauled in the bed of an F550?
DeleteI would like to buy/purchase 2010 cases and use all of them myself, everybody else can buy their own gun.
