Admittedly, a lot of those guns seem pretty odd and impractical to me. Although, as mentioned, at least a 28 gauge revolver makes more sense than a .410. But if you look on page 8 of the link above, you'll see they might have a winner with the Rio Grande lever action rifle. No, not with .410, but with the 45-70 option. The Marlin 1895 lever actions have become more popular than ever in recent years. If Rossi does it right, it could be another option for lever action fans of the 45-70.

I give them a lot of credit for bringing out something besides black autoloaders.
