It tightens my chest and concerns my mind that every traditional firearm that gets "tactical" trend will be on the next ban list. Beware of wishes of "cool" factor.

When the NRA gets around to presenting Barack Obama with a gun, rather than the traditional Pennsylvania rifle THERE is the gun they should give the bastard. Make sure it's loaded first.
The ONLY gun, the NRA should give Obama.
Is a PRICE gun.
As his policies are making prices go up!

I might have to get the 464 version, just for the threaded 16" bbl (maybe put one of those pokey AK muzzle devices on it)... but that plastic buttstock has got to go!
I could even go for the rails on the forend, but . . . the overall look is just too cheesy, and the stock looks too fragile to be on a lever gun. It may be perfectly practical. . . but I don't know for what. . .
To me, innovation for a lever gun is .308 or .223 caliber, all stainless/weather resistant parts (lightweight synthetic stock) and storage in the butt.
This other crap. . . yeesh. . .

Yep a solid synthetic stock and a stainless rifle would be much more practicle and durable IMHO.
Even if they threaded the barrel for one of the common thread patterns for a muzzle device but just put on a thread protector it wouldn't be pushing it.
In going to theit website I can't even see a wood stocked version unless I'm misssing something.
I am new here but that looks pretty cool I want one. Maybe it will grow on you change is always tough ! Remember the 3006 bolt to the m1 Gerand ugly but when you shoot it it is beautiful ! Why don't we try it first and see !
