Key Features
- 20″ Octagonal Barrel: Adds weight forward for steadier off-hand shooting and reduces muzzle flip, which matters when you’re sending .41 Magnum rounds downrange all afternoon.
- Polished Brass Receiver: Gives you that old-school look that stands out at the range and in the field, plus it’s easy to wipe clean after a day in the woods.
- Straight-Grip American Walnut Stock: Provides a classic, comfortable hold that works for both quick shots and extended target sessions—no slip, no fatigue.
- Tubular Magazine: Holds 10 rounds of .41 Magnum, letting you stay on target longer between reloads during competition or hunting.
- Adjustable Iron Sights: Allows you to zero in fast for different ranges, and they’re reliable in low light when you’re tracking game at dusk.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who wants a big-bore lever gun that can take medium-to-large game at moderate ranges. It’s also for the cowboy-action or classic shooting enthusiast who wants an authentic-feeling rifle with modern reliability. New gun owners who appreciate traditional design and easy maintenance will find this a solid choice for learning the lever action.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Smooth action right out of the box, accurate iron sights, beautiful fit and finish, and the .41 Mag gives you more punch than .357 without the recoil of .44 Mag.
- Cons: The polished brass receiver shows fingerprints and scratches more than a matte finish, so you’ll want to keep a soft cloth handy.
