I've wondered if an Osprey would work with sights that low.

Hello... Is there anybody out there?

I've been away for a while. Any other builds to speak of?

I bought this last week on sale.   Savage Revel Delux .22lr.   Threaded for supressor.   Its not really tactical, but definitely has that Fallout vibe.  Not sure if I'm going to modify it or not yet.

Oh and, of course in 45-70.

Check out the Leupold 2-7 freedom, just put one on my 45-70 trapper. It’s the perfect optic, plenty of eye relief, 2x isn’t much different than 1.5x, bigger objective and more power at 7x vs 5x.

Thanks.  Though now looking on Leupolds site, seems both are now discontinued.  These are the scopes under consideration:

Leupold VX Freedom IER 1.5-4x28, 6-6.9" ER
Burris Scout 2-7x32, 9.2-12 ER
Leupold VX Freedom 2-7x33, 3.7-4.2" ER
Vortex Crossfire HD 1.5-5.5x32, 13-24" ER

Burris Scout for me, albeit I'm a little biased (check out my Scout build tacked onto the first post of the thread.)

Nice rifle, but it needs some doodads before it can be considered a "Tactical Lever Action."

My .357, Smith & Wesson 1854, Stealth Hunter is pretty much done.  I added a Sig Romeo Gen II, SL RM2 light and a Hill People Gear 10 round stock cuff..   I was thinking I might want a RRP stock but the OEM stock is actually working pretty good with the red dot sight.  I don't feel like I need a cheek riser so I am pretty happy with it.  It's ready for truck gun and home defense duty.  

Still need to look into suppressors that work well with both .357 and 9mm.  

I'm really enjoying the .357 in a lever gun format more than I expected.

I have the Vortex on my Taylor & Company (Chiappa) 1892 Alaskan Take Down in .357/38. I’m new to the site, and this thread got me to sign up so I can get some input on my own build. As soon as I can figure out how to upload pictures, I’ll show the groups I got with mine. The eye relief is great on the Vortex, because with the top eject you need the scope forward of the action and with my eyes, I really benefit from the variable zoom. Mine has the illuminated reticle, which allows me to use it like a red dot at 1.5, with both eyes open. Easy to zero, and you can’t beat the price for the quality.

Nice. They should have put a little more wood out front to create some visual balance.

@bluedog82 I'm late to the party but that looks like a great combo!

I've been on the gear/competition/tacticool doo dad kick for a while now but it's getting old. Honestly this combo of rifle and a 357 snub like the 360/340, between ammo, you'd be pretty well equipped for anything shy of a ground invasion or elephant hunting. Snake shot, 38/357hst in the pistol and rifle when you're in people country, hardcast when you're not. Snake shot in the revolver on the off chance you're kayaking in the everglades. Honestly if I was starting my collection from scratch, from a pure practicality situation, this is hard to beat
