“...you can get a Remington for pretty cheap...”
After binge-watching the entire Longmire series, my attention has wistfully turned to lever-actions. I don’t know a lot about them, but Longmire seemed to carry an un-fancy Winchester...that, of course, he shot like a high-dollar sniper rifle. The Remington you show has one thing I really like appearance-wise...the pistol grip stock. That always sets a lever-action off for me. While the Ruger mini-14 is next on the purchase list...a Remington lever-action could be next in line after the Ruger.
So many guns, so little time.
Remington is really Marlin.
