Tacticool Lever Action
Anyone have something that fits this definition? Saw a couple in Tulsa over the weekend that were entirely impractical and totally cool!
Naturally I kinda want one now...

I have 2. A Marlin 336 with ghost rings sights and a light and a Mossburg with a red dot and suppressor.

The Mossberg 464 SPX kinda fits the "tacticool" definition. Collapsible stock, rails, flat black.

I remember when Mossberg first rolled those out--I think they had some in 357 mag for a while--wish I had bought one.

The ones I saw in Tulsa were custom jobs, usually on a Marlin 336 base. That said .357 would ideal I would think.

I agree that the Mossburg 464 is a hideous sight. But if you have grandkids ranging from diapers to teenagers, it's collapsible stock will accomodate all of the without need for a saw and new buttplates.
A 120 gr. cast bullet over 6 or 7 grains of universal or red dot is a hoot for elementary age kids. |

A buddy has a .45-70 Marlin Guide Gun with a Midwest Industries forearm, a red dot sight & a tiger stripe camo paint job. It's a Remlin & he figgered he'd have some fun with it.

I could live with one of these. I don't care for the big loop, but the rail and threaded barrel for a suppressor isn't bad.

Am not into lever guns at all, but if Henry built a thread barrel version Id be all over it.

@FAS1, I've read that article before, that is a really well done modern lever action. I would buy that. And this coming from someone who has a several vintage levers.
I wouldn't feel bad banging that around in the brush like I would a 60+ years or older lever. |

Saw this on Brownells Facebook page today. Looks like it's from an Instagram post.
