Heritage Manufacturing is known for their affordable single action revolvers but their latest release, while staying true to that Old West theme, is something new. While they’ve done some neat revolving carbines before their first true foray into rifles is appropriately enough a lever action. Three of them in fact.
The Settler family consists of a 20 inch rifle, a 16.5 inch carbine and a 12.5 inch Mare’s Leg (which is actually a pistol). They’re built on aluminum receivers with a case hardened style finish, and have hardwood stocks. MSRP pricing runs from $475 to $500 depending on model.
