Title: Mossberg 464
Post by: Skillet on January 11, 2010, 09:26:54 AM: I was wondering if anybody here had one and if they liked it. I have been aching for a straight-stock lever 30-30 for a while, and the neighbor bought one of these last week. Action feels solid, cycles shells very well. Mickey-mouse safety on the tang, and the stock is birch and looks very cheap, though... Looking for a good-shooting, functional open sights lever gun, so the fact it's drilled for a scope mount means nothing to me. They were on sale at Big-5 for $399 ($499 reg price) - so I went down to play with one and they were out - but I have a raincheck.

So, it is worth $400? Anybody buy one and regret it? Anybody unable to live without theirs?
