Title: S&W getting into the lever game.
Post by: Mulie87 on January 23, 2024, 08:03:10 PM: S&W 1854 lever gun. New for 2024. A new manufacturer in the lever game. Should be a hit. .44mag only at this time.

Post by: elkslayer069 on January 23, 2024, 08:42:15 PM: $1300 for a lever with a safety no thanks. $3500 for the limited addition I think not.

Post by: 30.06 on January 23, 2024, 09:09:14 PM: $3500 lever gun should be chambered in .460

Post by: elkslayer069 on January 23, 2024, 09:35:09 PM: I think a basic .460 made by bighorn is a little over $2500 for the deposit :chuckle:

I did not see the price. I’m with you, that is a bit too much for that gun.

Post by: callturner on January 24, 2024, 06:06:24 AM: $1300 MSRP may seem like a lot but you have to remember this is not 1974 look at the price of new Marlins and Winchesters

Post by: 2MANY on January 24, 2024, 06:43:36 AM: They should single handingly battle the anti gun folks, lower their gun prices, and fly the pride flag.
Dam sinners.

Post by: blackveltbowhunter on January 24, 2024, 08:51:02 AM: Look like a gaggle of fun for 1300 bucks. I know a ton of guys with 10x that in a rifle that is boring as hell to shoot.

Will certainly be checking them out
Title: Re: S&W getting into the lever game.
Post by: elkslayer069 on January 24, 2024, 11:11:46 AM: Msrp on a new Henry is a couple hundred dollars less and they look better. I wouldn’t buy a new Winchester ruger or marlin either. Jm marlins and pre 64 model 94s can be had for less than $1000.

Post by: 2MANY on January 24, 2024, 11:13:55 AM: Have you looked into the new Daisy?
Title: Re: S&W getting into the lever game.
Post by: elkslayer069 on January 24, 2024, 11:28:03 AM: No id probably shoot my eye out :chuckle: but I can’t be the only one in the world that’s tired of every gun being plastic and coming with threaded muzzles and ugly knurled thread protectors. Must be what the market wants… sorry for disrupting the thread I’ll leave now.

$1300 MSRP.... it will likely be $1100 for normal pricing...will fall in line with everything else.

Title: Re: S&W getting into the lever game.
Post by: JimmyHoffa on January 24, 2024, 09:34:52 PM: Watched a few videos on it. Just can't dig that blocky, tactical look. Maybe for the zombie apocalypse.
Title: Re: S&W getting into the lever game.
Post by: pickardjw on January 24, 2024, 09:55:00 PM: 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.
Title: Re: S&W getting into the lever game.
Post by: hunter399 on January 25, 2024, 09:21:21 AM: 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.

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.
Title: Re: S&W getting into the lever game.
Post by: Westside88 on January 28, 2024, 09:00:18 AM: 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.
