They need to make it in .357 and side ejecting like the marlin lever actions. That would make it really easy for mounting optics. I live in Cali and a .357 lever gun paired with a .357 revolver is a really good/popular option as a shtf combo. I would love to be able to put magpull sights with a co-witness red dot.

Update - got mine in early November and LOVE IT! I added a Bushnell Banner 3-9x adjustable and shoots like a laser at 100yrds. I use the over/under scope mount to get in quick on shorties. Never a hang or jam! There are no bad/ugly guns, just guns I don't have yet!

It's not how the gun looks it how it handles, how it shoots and if you can hit your target. Give me the ugliest gun in the world as long as it's true and reliable.

This lever action rifle is so ugly and bad I have one on order. I will use the new Hornady Revalution ammunition it is daed on and good for an extra 100meters. Off course for fun you could buy the Zombie ammunition for it too. Put a handle & a laser and tac light on it and maybe some fiberoptics and your set for Zombie killing!

all you lever action fanatics that say oh its ugly i would never do that to a lever action... your lever action is just a quick fire musket so get off your high horse and look at it as a gun... is it reliable(yes)... dose it shoot straight(yes). need i keep going?

Not the prettiest thing, but I bought one anyway. I must say it is light, shoots well and has more knock down power than my .223, which has made the gun effective in my fight to destroy the feral hog population on my property in East Texas. That said, still love my Marlin 1895 in 45/70 better.

What's the problem? This rifle looks like it will serve all who buy it just fine. Adjustable stocks work for families with different size kids, everyone can shoot the same gun. Some people right now don't have endless resources to spend, guns might come after food & the power bill. Some in the shooting fraternity need to check their egos at the door.I'll bet if this is the only gun you have, It'll start lookin' pretty freakin' sweet..

I have liked the lever gun too. Tactical for me is a 'load as you go' capability. A very old Shooting times article. Belt with lots of loops, in stead of mags to worry about. M-92 .357 mag. 16'' bl. Happy Trail's all. Scotty

I thought it was unpracticle and ugly as well. So I bought it anyways because I got a good deal. I own almost every brand of handgun and rifle out there. Hands down this is a great gun! I find myself shooting it more than my fully upgraded stag arms 223. It was pin point accurate from 100 yards out of the box with a very light recoil. If you notice, all the people bashing it has never even held one. Everyone that has shot it once lov

I recently purchased the Mossberg 464 tactical and love it. Unfortunetly. I lost the rear fiber optic sight. It apparently wasn't tightened at the factory. Anyone know where I can get a replacement?

well, i just bought one. why? my shoulder is bum and i liked the stock. i reload my win's real light and shoot the classics, but with this new 94"ugly stick" i might be able to shoot a full load again. thats why!
Tex wrote: November 15, 2012
got one for $405, at a gun show, and took off the side rails and cut down and balenced the lower rail for a bi-pod, works great for just shooting around and I like the stock actually it lets the youngsters shoot something more compact

I'm a member of the young generation, but I don't particularly care for the tactical rifles flooding the rifle market currently. I am a huge fan of the lever action rifle and it is the most beautiful with walnut furniture and blue or stainless steel finishing. I have a soft spot in my heart for lever actions. I used my uncles old 94 winchester .30-30 to take my first mule deer here in Nevada just a couple years ago and I've been hooked ever since. I purchased a few lever actions since then and the mossberg 464 with the straight walnut stock was one of them and it is outstanding quality for a reasonable price. Was glad to see mossberg keep tradition of making basically a modern 94 in the good old U S of A without charging 1300 bucks for a finished rifle. Good shooting.

MY WINCHESTER MODEL 94 CLASSIC (1966) WITH AN OCTAGON BARELL WILL SHOOT CIRCLES AROUNG THAT PEICE. mILK JUG AT 250 YARDS OPEN SIGHTS OR GOLF BALL AT A 100. I LIKE TACTICAL, BUT DONT MESS WITH A CLASSIC SHOOTER.

1 in 16 twist consumes less energy. Speeds up velocity. it would probably take cast slugs well

Me likey! Old-style ever actions are just that: Old style. Fine when we still used the horse-n-buggy. We ARE in the 21st century, right? Everyone take a technological step ahead ... or fall back.

I think some shooters forget that part of owning a firearm is just liking one. I have a Rossi Ranch Hand in .45 that I love not because it's the perfect gun but because it's interesting and I like oddball things. Unlike other collectibles ugly guns still function as defensive tools, meat getters etc. It does kind of have a sci-fi look and that might appeal to some people. If I found one cheap I might buy one just because it looks funny. To each his own.

I purchased one roughly 2 months ago and my son and I love it. The only other rifle he's fired is a .22 and this was really a tremendous step up for him. He was a little intimidated at first when he heard how much louder it was, but he did an amazing job manning up and pulling the trigger. Regardless of how well the gun holds up over the years, I'll have fond memories of the day I brought it home. Recently purchased the XS Sight systems upper rail and it fits perfectly. A little budgeting, and I'll think we'll see a Leupold FX-II on it soon. I'm still not a hug fan of Mossberg's thumb safety, but I can live with it. And lastly, in my honest opinion; the trigger-pull really isn't that terrible. I have definitely gotten my money's worth out of this rifle, and intend to keep it and give to my boy when he's ready.

Looks like a robot cowboy gun. I have a 16" barrel SKS which does the same job, but that lever thing looks intriguing. You could accessorize to your heart's content until it's too heavy to take anywhere. May be fun, though.

I have only 3 small suggestions:
1: Take that adjustable Stock off . Make it one piece and Wallnut.
2: Take that composit fore stock off. Make it wallnut also.
3: Remove that stupid suppressor. Not necessary. Then it will be perfect.
Thanks

I bought this two weeks ago and it is all the review states. NO buyers remorse.
The Piccy rails fly a Nebo 190 lumen LED on the left side that makes the fiber sight glow and really lights up the area.
This gun is a tool, not a beauty queen - and she does her job very well.

UGLY,UGLY,UGLY, I will stay with my old Winchester 92 in .45 LC. Who in hell wants a Tactical lever action rifle?
Matt Graff wrote: October 16, 2012
Obviously you are willing to give a good review to virtually anything, how sad.
My model 94 Winchester is beat up ugly but still looks better than that. I would not insult the integrity of my lever gun to dress it in this manner. My tactical weapons will not cross this 'cross dressing line'.
Thanks but no thanks!

When will one of these manufacturers bring back a lever action chambered in that ballistically better .41 Rem. magnum?
And, I do agree with it being ugly! Why do all the new rifles need all the attachment points for more stuff? Just how much can you attach to the rails and still be able to use it effectively?
Jim mcghee wrote: October 15, 2012
Wow this thing is ugly, I don't think my Marlin or Winchester are going anywhere and the price is well beyond my Marlin. My Marlin with Hornady lever ammo is plenty accurate.

The Mossberg traditional 464 with blue and walnut is one heck of a beautiful affordable deer gun for me in 30-06.

Take a iconic design and convert it to an ugly stick. I like tactical but this ain't it!!

True. It ain't pretty... but that didn't stop me from buying one. It shoots every bit as well as described and makes a terrific conversation piece at the ranges and amongst friends. A fine addition to the collection. Very fun, inexpensive and practical.

That may be the ugliest thing I've seen in a long while. Give me a Winchester 94 or a Marlin 336 over that, any day.
