The Henry American Eagle rifle dons a unique new finish, and the results are incredible. How do you pay homage to the National Bird of America with a truly unique firearm design?

The Death of the Lever Action Rifle Has Been Exaggerated…But Only Slightly

June 25, 2018 by Sam Hoober

Recently, David Petzal raised a minor ruckus with an article in Field & Stream Magazine that declared the death of the lever-action rifle. The gist is that since modern shooters are all about long-range rifles these days, the good ol’ lever gun has had it because classic lever gun calibers don’t do well out past 200 … Read more

Gear Review: Leupold VX-Freedom 1.5-4×20 Duplex Reticle Scope

May 21, 2018 by Conner W.

I’ve rarely been dissatisfied with Leupold optics. Their consistent quality and durability are characteristics I have come to rely on throughout the years. For certain, that gold ring carries some weight. In late January 2018 Leupold announced their newest family of optics, the VX-Freedom Series. One hundred percent designed, machined, assembled, and (if … Read more

Gun Review: Henry Long Ranger .308 Rifle

January 12, 2017 by Jon Wayne Taylor

When Henry Repeating Arms revealed their box-fed lever-action Long Ranger series, I asked to test one in .308 Winchester. Without a round fired, I was impressed and intrigued. Why had Henry departed from its traditional tube-fed designs? “Because customers asked for it,” Henry GM Andy Wickstrom said, simply enough. The company figured they could make money selling a good product … Read more

Gun Review: Rossi Model 92 Lever-Action Carbine

August 2, 2013 by admin

What’s a lever-loving rifleman to do if he’s got a hankering for a pistol-caliber carbine? Marlins are garbage these days, and the rest of the lot (Henrys, Winchesters, Ubertis, Pedersolis and Cimarrons) are gorgeous and expensive heirlooms, almost too beautiful to carry afield. If you’re looking for a working man’s cowboy carbine, Rossi’s Model 92 … Read more

Media Day At The Range Preview: Winchester Model 1873

I’m the resident lever-gun geek at TTAG, and this stunning reproduction of the classic Winchester Model 1873 is just my cup of ~~tea~~ steel and walnut. If you’ve never handled an 1873, its smooth action and mirror-bright bluing will show you why it’s always been considered one of the most elegant lever-action carbines ever made. And accurate, too. Once I got the proper sight picture with the buckhorn rear sights, it drilled the 1/2 scale steel pepper popper at 100 yards.

The Cowboy Assault Rifle done right, by Wild West Guns

January 19, 2012 by ttag

Call me a traditionalist, but I don’t think Cowboy Tactical gets any cooler than this Marlin .44 Magnum by Wild West Guns. If you want it, you’d better call them soon, though. Just like real estate, Marlin isn’t making them any more.

SHOT Show advice to manufacturers: bring your ‘A’ game.

January 18, 2012 by ttag

When you’re putting your wares on display for tens of thousands of purchasers, journalists, and enthusiasts, you shouldn’t need an MBA to tell you you really need to bring your best stuff. No ‘beta’ testing versions. No prototypes (unless you clearly label them as such) and no clunkers. Ever.

Marlin/Freedom Group Lever-Action Quality: Circling The Drain

December 18, 2011 by TTAG Contributor

By Chris Dumm

Joe Grine and I spent a few leisurely hours pacing the aisles at Oregon’s biggest pre-Christmas gun show this morning. We’re not into ‘gun show reports’ much here, so suffice to say that guns and ammo were everywhere, Nazi fetish gear was nowhere to be found, and that I’ve never seen so many NFA dealers at a single show before. SBRs and suppressors are starting to go mainstream, but that’s another story for another day.
