Pros & Cons

• Pros: Classic brass receiver, side gate for fast loading, accurate out of the box, smooth lever action, durable American walnut stock.
• Cons: The polished brass receiver shows fingerprints and scratches more easily than matte finishes, so expect to wipe it down after handling. Also, .35 Remington ammo can be harder to find than .30-30 in some stores.
