It will initially be released in 30-30, 38-55 and .35 rem. More calibres to come.

This video has a decent review

Looking forward to them bringing out in .357 here.

It's about time! Was never a fan of the front loading, tube assembly thingy. Was thinking of getting a lever for awhile but was concerned with marlin's quality control issues, and I have no idea about modern Winchesters. Might have to give this a serious look.

new winchesters are a class act but expensive.
new henry's are very nice, not as nice as the jap made winchesters though

seems liek a slick action, not sure the Gold finish is what we need.
