MRA Renegade, what do we think? I’ve had nothing but fun with it.

As far as doing drills and shooting quickly, I think levers are the only way

Pump action rifles could work, too. Like that one from Australia, except that one’s really expensive for what you’re actually getting.

Yea, I think im only aware of the Troy in canada? I dont know much about them though. Most likely cheaper than going with that stanag mag fed Henry lever

From what I’ve heard, they do fine, just pricey for what it is. It’s definitely a niche, as in reality most civilian AR rifles are just semi auto, as they’re pretty much built for the USA, and can be still be used even in heavy anti gun states like California (with weird laws around butt stocks and mag releases). America quite literally has no reason for a bolt/pump action AR.

Gun manufacturers don’t really want to attempt any more AR looking weapons up here, because they get banned on a whim, and thus end up being a waste of money and time.

On a personal note, I just really dislike the idea of a mag fed lever action. I’d rather just get a normal one for style points.

That's fair. I think they are sweet, just not willing to dish out 3k for a lever.

Yeah, I completely agree. I don’t think $3000 is it worth it for any gun in today’s world of bans anyways. It could end up being an expensive display piece overnight.

Yea I'd be surprised if it got banned but fuck you never know. Just the fact its stanag mag fed might be enough to ban it. Id take a 45-70 or 30-30 too, but they are pricey as hell too

Even getting a cheaper 357 or 44mag is pretty fun to be honest.  Grabbing a Rossi made lever on sale can get as low as 800-900 bucks if you are patient.

At that price point, the money/fun ratio is crazy high!

Got my 357 for 800 bucks and it's a blast at the range. If I had gone up to 44mag, it would be a bit more expensive to shoot,  but I bet launching that bigger chunk of lead would be a lot of fun

I picked up the Levtac 92 for some lever fun. Couldn't justify $1500-$2000 on a lever action when I got it so it worked out. Not the most polished firearm but it is functional.

That was my thoughts too.

Had to do a bit of tweaking to make it work the way I wanted, tighten some screws, soften  the sharp edges on the loading gate.  That's OK, considering I saved 1k dollars.

Yea for sure , Id hop on that no problem

Even in just this economy in general. I can't afford to have 3000 tucked away in a single gun that I may or may not use.
