Where would you guys rate Cimmaron and Uberti for quality lever-action rifles? 🤔
I'm not a fan of Henry and Marlin rifles are either too highly priced or can't be found.
I've read enough reviews on Rossi to make me question them.

Never owned one personally. I own an Pieta 1851 confederate navy replica and it's a great pistol as far as build quality and finish. Pieta is the cheaper replica maker of the three so I would say Uberti and cimarron would be even better. Let us know what you find out.

Funny story, the Confederate navy stays on my desk, I work from home. Often on conference calls I pick it up and fidget with the action. Only once has anyone ever sent me a message and asked "what colt is that" after recognizing the three clicks. 😅

Hey I said it was purely personal opinion based in nostalgia. 😅. They make a fantastic gun, I just don't care for the marketing. They're a modern gun company playing cowboy. At least Uberti and Cimarron are honest about it.

Plus they went and did this bullshit, which is pretty unforgivable in my book.🤢🤢 it even uses a box magazine. 🙄 I hates em

Every company was a modern company at one time. They maybe have Bought the name however they make a damn fine rifle and I feel the smoothest and strongest today. They are not owned by one of the large companies nor made over seas. Winchester is now owned by a large corporation and currently made in Japan. Marlin has turned into a company much like Remington where as they are so sold and broken up the quality hasn’t been the same for 20 years or so. The JM guns were and obviously desired but the price is crazy. Remlin had plenty of their issues, only time will tell how Ruger handles them.
as far as the Henry longranger series, they are making options and modernizing a platform for those that want the reliability of a repeater with modern cartridges.

You guys are holding a guy that drives a clapped out ford opinion too high. The only guy in the south driving a rusted out POS. One of those guys that has zero business driving a diesel, driving diesel.

Buy that Henry fellas. They are awesome and always will be. Add the American made and I'm sold. #fuckjoe🤣

Hey I said they make a damn fine rifle. 😅.


They didn't even buy the name they just trademarked it and built a marketing persona around the misconception they're Henry of days gone by. It would be like me starting a pistol company, naming it Schofield, and making a break-action pistol. (S&W may have a problem with that as they're still around though). But that's essentially what they did. The reality is they're just a modern firearm company that does things like put 6.5 creedmore and a box magazine in a lever gun.😅. Doesn't mean they make shit guns, but it tarnishes the nostalgia of taking a lever gun hunting for me. I would buy one over a modern Remlin or Winchester though. But I'd buy a 50s or 60s model Winchester or Marlin before I would a new Henry.
