| Gents, have any of you guys seen/felt/shot one of these? There is one up for grabs at a local store. I have never heard of nor seen one of these until I saw it in the store. The rifle "takes down" into two seperate pieces. There is a video floating around the net showcasing one of these in 44 MAG. The one in my local store is a 45 Colt (according to the tag...I can't find this particular version in 45 Colt on the web page). The price tag on the rifle in my local store is $1100. That is mighty steep for a lever gun. Any feedback you guys can share on this particular model is greatly appreciated. The search results that I can pull up mainly talk about other models. Again, thanks for your thoughts. |

Again, thanks for your thoughts. I saw a couple of these chambered for the 45-70 (1886) in stainless, IIRC they were called the Kodiak. They appeared to be very nice rifles of very good quality. They were priced a little higher than the Mirokou produced 1886. |

If I were going to spend a k, I'd get one of the miroku winchesters. The fit and finish is fantastic

I think the power steering pump just pooped the bed on my wife's vehicle so I'm pretty certain that will have negative impacts on my folding money. A short barreled 45-70 would probably be much more useful over a 45 Colt carbine anyway. |
