great looking gun, can we ask what the price tag is ????? I looke dna d liked the less than 7 lb weight, plus 30 - 30 is just about right for deer. I have two rifle, 1 is a old 303 British Enfield, about 11 lbs, the other is a 308 Remington  742 model semi woodmaster is about the same for weight 10.5 lbs.

This being a Davidsons exclusive i had to order it off of gunbroker.com and have it shipped in from OH, i literally couldn't find this model in NYS. So in total i paid $489.00 that's without FFL transfer,but the regular walnut/wood models can be commonly found.

Nice looking rig.  Two of my hunting buddies use the Leverevelution ammo. One shoots a 30-30 and the other shoots a 35 Rem. They swear by it.  They say that they definitely get better range and accuracy out of their rifles. Good luck..

Why did you decide to get the Mossberg instead of a Marlin 336?

Basically price and some research has shown that the new marlins which are made by/from Remington are defiantly not up to the old standards of classic marlin lever guns, i have always had mossberg guns both rilfes and shotguns, i've never had any issues, i know they are a "middle of the road"  quality of gun but for what i'm going to hopefully use the gun for i don't need anything super fancy. I specifically like this model by mossberg, time will tell about the 16inch barrel, i know that having a short gun overall is nice in so many ways especially when it comes to hunting.

You got to let us know how it turns out. I have been looking at that gun and the Marlin 336 for a while. The quality issues with Marlins scared me off from getting a 336. I have not seen enough guys using the Mossberg to get a feel for it either.

I wouldn't think that a 16" barrel on a 30-30 would affect the ballistics too much. It might be a little on the LOUD side, though..

i just basically need a 100yrd gun, rifle hasn't passed yet here in Genesee county but its looking pretty good and i have few spots in my hunting locations where i can shoot past 100 yrds....plus i dont get lucky enough to have the type of deer i shoot standing in a wide open field lol...

Off the bench at 50yrds with open sights which needed adjustment but, im very pleased with the gun so far. It did have cycling issues at first but i believe that was my fault and not the gun's (my first lever gun) i am shooting the hornady leverevolution 160gr bullets. Man is this gun loud but the lack of recoil is quite a nice change from a 12ga. I hope to be able to take this gun to the deer woods this fall!
