Would you rock Costa's latest lever-gat setup?

I own one lever action, because everyone needs too. It’s a 30-30 and I’d like a 45-70 because, again, I should.

Someone mentioned post AR world. In that case, my SOCOM 16, if also gone than an older REM 700 that has been improved. I’ll be faster, better rounds and better distance. Levers are cool, but only for the nostalgia factor, IMO.

Agreed. I am not yet 50 and have a Marlin 39A and Marlin 336RC, both from 1951. Coulnd't be more traditional. Levers are supposed to be blued steel and walnut. My NATO stuff is fine with rails and plastic. Not my levers.

Anyone here think he's running full power 45-70 all day?

The Beard has really gone whole-hog with cowboy guns it seems, but he's still tacticool. I gotta admit I'm not a purist when it comes to lever guns, though there are some really soul-hurting mods I've seen done.

His latest rendition of the .45-70 is intriguing, though there's a few things I'd be less than thrilled with like the stock (I think I'd still rather have a wooden stock, with a leather cuff to hold the rounds there) - I do like that full length rail though.

No, lever guns should be wood and either blued or case colored steel.

Correct. Should be. Unfortunately they are not all.

Yep

 

[Vaquero]

No. I would not.

Looks like he's attempting to make some quick cash on the tacticool trend before it deservedly fades into the mist.

Costa Ludis is still operating teaching operational operators how to operate operationally while operating, of course.

No! And I do love my lever actions.

After watching the video I have come to the conclusion I wouldn’t want the rifle.

I own 4 lever guns, all of them in classic trim. I think if I were in a position to upgrade, either the Marlin Dark or Henry X in factory configuration would be about it.

The set up Costa is using is just too much for me, I don’t plan on hanging lights, lasers, coffee makers, or aquarium bubblers off
my lever guns. But that’s just me.

During these times if he has people throwing cash at him to run a class playing cowboys & cardboard more power to him.

My Marlin Dark is about as Tactifudd as I care to go.

Well, maybe a Crimson Trace red/green dot optic on my 1894, but it is a tool for removing chicken coop raiding vermin, so it’s ok.

I though about tacticooling out one of my leverguns just to have a different variation of one, but the parts are too expensive. Pretty much the price of another rifle.

Nothing wrong with this. It’s still slick. To me a lever gun needs to feel nimble. That’s it’s strength, quick to the shoulder for a fast shot or two. I like how you have both of yours set up.

Hang all kind of rails, lights, scopes that need a satellite dish to operate, rails & cheese graters , you be better off with one of those 19 lb M-4s.

Looks kind of cool. I am really not feeling the stock. I prefer lever guns in a classic format and the ones I have are. However, I am thinking about doing a modern lever build. I am going to go 357 or 44 though on my build. I agree thought that the price to build one is pretty high and that is what has held me back so far.
