Im old school and the tacticalization of leverguns is only about more sales. I dont like them and never will. I would never even think about buying one of these or anything that resembles anything tactical on a levergun. To each their own. Just my .02 worth
Exactly.
And some of these aftermarket jobs, where they take an old Marlin and then slap the tactical crap on it.
Then ask a price that is more than what a good levergun and an AR cost together.

Stupid, but
I guess there are {some} yuppy types that have more money than sense that are actually buying them.
But, I Totally agree, Al.
I'm more of a traditionalist when it comes to the lever gun, guess that's because of when I grew up.
And one of the things and reasons I never got overly excited about Henry rifles and the lack there of the loading gate.
By the time they finally dug their head out of the sand and added one I had pretty much have what I wanted in a lever gun.
The only reason I have the third one is it's cal. 41 mag. and it was way less than have of what the hard to find used Marlins were going for.
And Hell they still WON'T over it in one of their sidegate models
