Sidearms & Scatterguns Lever Action thread

What is the consensus on optics for these rifles? It shot so good with the aimpoint at 100 yards that it makes me want to mount a scope on it. Would a 1-6 razor be frowned upon by the lever action crowd?

I hope Marlin will make this model again I would love a 357 mag lever rifle.

I can’t think of a better setup. I much prefer the Marlins to the Henry’s, although I haven’t shot the newer X series so not sure on those. But the 1894’s have a ton of aftermarket support and can be slicked up nice.

Depend who you ask. Generally you have the traditional crowd who frowns on any modern attachment lol.

I will say the Razor is a heavy bitch and it makes the light and skinny lever guns feel like they have a lopsided brick on them. Because of how short they are vertically, they feel much more awkward than an AR with heavy optics.

A lot of guys like a 1-4/1-6 on them but I’d go lighter and mounted lower

Razor is a very nice scope but i would go would something lighter.The swfa 1x4 is a nice little scope i run one on a 10/22 and take it out to 200 yds with no problem.

See post #132...


It's super light and functional even out to 200 yards with the .44 Mag, so it should be capable at 200-300 with a .45-70.

 
In the last couple of months of 2022 I picked up 3 new Henry X models, 357 Mag, 30-30 and a 45-70. I have orders in for Midwest industries handguards and Chisel stocks. I gave my Henry .357 Mag Big boy steel side gate to my son. No picks as they all look like a Henry X model, black plastic.
