Re: S&W Lever gun
I Like it....Great sights, big lever loop, sling swivel mounts, torx screw heads . You can easily mount all kind of fancy lights on it. for an all weather gun it's a winner. when the dust settles I bet it's $999.00. wish it was made in .357 mag too.

I don't think remlin ever made a cowboy model. . For target work that gun will really shoot with the receiver sight. for hunting I would only change the front sight. I have five rifles with receiver sights on them . for Me nothing works better. Good snag. .
