Heritage Manufacturing, a company that built its reputation around affordable rimfire single-action revolvers, has recently added lever-action rifles and shotguns to its lineup. New for 2024, the company is combining these two products in the form of the Range Side lever-action.
With the Range Side, Heritage Manufacturing expands its lever-action lineup with a .410 bore option.
The Range Side is a lever-action shotgun chambered in .410 bore with a 2.5” chamber. The 2/3 length under-barrel tube magazine is loaded through a gate in the side of the receiver and has a capacity of five rounds. A capacity-limiting plug is supplied for those who hunt in areas with shotgun capacity restrictions. The guns' 20” barrels are threaded to accept choke tubes of the Benelli Mobil pattern. This allows for the use of restricted chokes for shot cartridges and cylinder bore or rifled chokes for use with slugs.
Both receiver and barrel are made of steel, and the buttstock and forearm are made of Turkish walnut and checkered. Quick-detachable sling swivel studs are placed in the buttstock and on the magazine tube. The action lever is oversized and wrapped in leather. Sights are a ramped front post with a brass bead and an adjustable leaf rear. A manual safety is positioned on top of the bolt.
The Range Side is offered in three finishes. The nickel finish is pictured above.
Range Side lever actions have an overall length of 38.20” and weigh 6.4 lbs. They are offered with three finish options — black chrome, nickel or a case hardened action with a blued barrel. The Heritage Range Side has an MSRP of $919 for the black, $1,032 for nickel and $1,147 for the casehardened finish. For more details, visit the Heritage Mfg. website here.
