Lever action pistol calibers -prices have to be a joke!?!

[JimmyD1]

Is it just me or are the prices for these lever guns an absolute joke? When did they get so ridiculously high? I have to spend close to $700 OTD for a Remington/Marlin (sub quality gun) 357 lever...... I have to be dreaming

Is Sunday price rant day now?

Then don't buy one.

 

[JimmyD1]

Haha - I guess so...

Rossi, Henry, Uberti...

“Then don’t buy one”..... good advice

Lever guns seem like fun and are nostalgic but they just end up collecting dust. YMMV

Rossi or Taurus make nice ones. Lots of aftermarket kits to smooth them out/slick them up if you want/need to.

whatever you do, don't look at original 1873 winchesters. You'll choke yourself.

try buying a JM stamp 357 Marlin.......

JimmyD1, man I can understand! $700 for a "Remlin"! No way I would pay that for one of those. Others have mentioned Rossi, which is a nice lever gun for less than the "Remlin", or a brand new Henry for about the same money as the "Remlin".
Marlin JM stamped .357 models are a bit higher, but that has to do with the fact that all the JM stamped Marlin .357s have been made. Supply and demand.

Good luck finding what you want.
