The Ugliest Levergun?

Possibly the ugliest levergun EVER! Or is it the ugliest revolver ever? Don't ever let your levergun mate with a revolver!

At least the Mossy has a utilitarian practicality. I see the lever on that revolver as complicating things, where a DA/SA would be a better choice.

The Mossburg has so many scary things on it, ya wouldn't even have to pull the trigger....

I've been told that my Ruger 96 leverguns are so 'ugly' and 'non-traditional' that they are just no better than scrap-metal.

I guess I disagree...

My .22 WMR Ruger 96 here compared to the Ruger 77/22 bolt action:

They also make a .22 LR version, a .17 HMR version, and a .17 Mach2 version, in addition to the .22 Mag version - AND they make a .44 Mag version which is still my favorite deer-gun. I wish they'd made them in .45 Colt, .480 Ruger, and .357 Magnum, much less some of the hyphenated ones like .32-20 or .44-40 or .38-40...

Sure, they're "non-traditional" but they are nicer looking than the 'classic' ones everyone seems to drool over, like the Marlin 62 or Winchester 88's...

Just noticed who the maker was. It seems Taurus will throw anything against the wall to see if it sticks.

I don't mind the Rugers at all. Look very Savagey. Don't mind an 88 either, but the carbines look best.

Nope, it's still a second place finisher.

The Mossberg has NO redeeming reatures, IMO.

Hey, be nice guys, we have both an 88 Win, and a 96 Ruger in this house. Both are fine rifles IMO. I think my wife wants to be buried with her 96 Ruger. Can't get her to carry anything else on a deer hunt.

Now, Griff....it does have lever!

Actually, of the two, I would go with the Mossberg! Did you read Tex's editorial in this month's CC. This thing is legal for SASS long range!

Actually, I'd like one of those forends for a 'Night Scout' levergun; I'd get my hacksaw and grinder and take off the 'side' and half the 'bottom' rails, though. Just need enough for a snap-on light now and then...

I seem to recall that it was designed with one of the Euro or Commonwealth countries in mind due to some stupid azz regulation of some sort. Please someone tell me that's what it's all about. PLEASE...

It looks like something that would be used in a campy SiFi movie or out of Star Wars...

Zoe was more traditional in her taste, Jayne OTOH would have rocked that as a backup to Vera.

Yes, it's main target market was European countries which don't allow semi-auto rifles which the regular double action Circuit Judge would qualify as due it firing a round with each trigger pull. I know that's the same reason they came out with a lever action AR-15 as well.

Regular Circuit Judge

Lever Action AR-15 the lever being the 1911 Colt looking grip

My first thought was "abomination".

My second thought was pity for the poor folks to whom that was the only option and then gratitude that they even have that available.

Now as I type I'm thinking that's exactly what they are trying to do to us.

Pointshoot · Post by **Pointshoot** » Fri Feb 15, 2013 1:27 pm

Guess I've been out of the loop in terms of whats out there in guns nowadays. I actually laughed when I saw the photo of the Mossberg. I thought someone Photoshopped a spoof 'photo'. I was shocked to see that they actually make the thing

As for the lever 'revolver' rifle, nothing surprises me about what comes out of Taurus.

As for half normal rifles - - - one thing that really turned me off about an otherwise good rifle is the wacky looking 'safety lock' on Rossi leverguns. Glad I came to the forum and found that Kiowa Jones offers a fix for that. I disliked that lock enough to steer clear of Rossi rifles before, but not now !

Me too, but realizing there was an outside chance it was real, I went to Mossy's home page, and there it was.

The only things I don't like about it is no place to mount a scope and top eject.

Still waiting for it to show up in a sci fi movie.

You can mount a scope on it, they are called scout scopes...

They are angle eject, and the bridge across rear of receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope so yes they can be scoped.

As if the rest of the gun wasn't ugly enough, that base looks like a boat dock cleat. However I'm picturing the rifle with colored rail covers and butt stock and painted in some sort of camo

I think this is an EXCELLENT invention and I truly hope this retarded looking gun gets lots of press. Why? Because it will awaken up the gun populace of this country of what we are in for if the subhuman in the White House gets acceptness to his agendas--------------------Sixgun

Love the Firefly/Serenity references!

The Mossey is definitely not my taste. I don't mind modernized and spoertized rifles when they are done well; even when I don't care for a particular look I always appreciate fine workmanship. Unfortunately, I don't see either in that rifle. All that said, if someone likes it well enough to spend good money on it... Good for them!

BTW Vera is a 12ga Saiga semi auto in real life. Its worth a darn sight more'n what you've got. Best darn gun made by man. That's paraphrasing Jayne trying to trade it to Mal for his "wife".

Only the best Sci Fi series ever. Plot is cowboy/smuggler/pirates in space.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_(TV_series)

Two of the main characters.

Nathan Fillion as Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds—the owner of Serenity and former Independent sergeant in the pivotal Battle of Serenity Valley. Malcolm grew up on a ranch, and was raised by his mother and the ranch hands. In the Unification War, he fought for the Independent Army, the "Browncoats", as a platoon sergeant in the 57th Overlanders. He is cunning, a capable leader and a skilled fighter. Mal's main character drive is his will for independence. While he is not above petty theft, smuggling or even killing to maintain his free lifestyle, he is generally honest in his dealings with others, fiercely loyal to his crew and closely follows a personal moral code.

Adam Baldwin as Jayne Cobb—hired gun. He and Mal met on opposite sides of a rivalry; Mal, while held at gunpoint, offered Jayne his own bunk and a higher cut than his current employer, so he turned coat and shot his then-partners. In the original Pilot "Serenity" he intimates to Mal that he didn't betray him because "The money wasn't good enough," however previously he had pointedly asked the Alliance agent whether he would be required to turn on the captain to help him, and in "Ariel" defends his actions alerting the authorities regarding Simon and River by claiming he had not intended to betray Mal. He is someone who can be depended on in a fight.[17] He tends to act like a "lummox" who thinks he is the smartest person in space, but occasional hints of intelligence peek through this façade, giving the impression that he acts dumber than he is.[10] As Whedon states several times, Jayne is the man who will ask the questions that no one else wants to.[18] Even though he is a macho character, he has shown a particularly intense fear of Reavers, more so than the rest of the crew. Despite his amoral mercenary persona, he sends a significant portion of his income to his mother, again suggesting that there is more to his character than what he presents to the rest of the crew.
