Watched a few videos on it. Just can't dig that blocky, tactical look. Maybe for the zombie apocalypse.

I've been casually looking for a stainless, threaded barrel 30-30 lever for a fun predator calling gun. Want to be able to use the suppressor. The S&W would be perfect if they were making it in that caliber.

I appreciate both styles. Wouldn't mind a more traditional style in a larger caliber and modern style in 30-30. Can't imagine the Aero lever will be cheap though.

Well S&W sold howa rifles for awhile with there name on them.
So I would definitely wondering if they haven't teamed up with marlin/Ruger.
Then they bought Thompson center, building a new bolt action rifle.
So they have slapped there name on product before and sold it.

What's with all the tactical lever actions coming to market lately ? Dumbest trend ever .
Anyone that thinks a Glock is better than a 1911 paints his toenails.

It's crazy but it is a HUGE trend

This year S&W, Aero and Stag Arms (same ownership) have new guns along with Winchester bringing back the .22 lever gun.

a little off topic, but the last time I was at sportsman’s, they didn’t have a single wood stocked rifle on the rack, either.

Really wish I could turn back the clock about 10 years, there just isn’t anything new in the shooting world that I can get excited about anymore.
you can still get gas in heaven, and a drink in kingdom come,
in the meantime, i'll be cleaning my gun

I’d like to have one of these, or more likely a Henry. I’m not a huge fan of buying first year products. I do prefer a blued /walnut stocked rifle for the nostalgia aspect, but a lever gun in a big bore makes a nice utility rifle. 357 would pair nicely with a good revolver too.
