Has anyone got any info yet on the Mossberg 464 lever gun ? They're made in America , which is important to me. All I've seen is what they have on their ( Mossberg ) web-site. Has anyone here actually bought one or shot one? I'm looking for a lever gun, and this looks interesting.

I believe a couple of Forum members have bought them. Reports I've read so far have indicated that the shoot OK, the only real complaints being cosmetic issues -- cheap wood, so-so fitting. I felt that the one I handled was not a rifle I'd pay the retail price for, although it'd probably shoot as well as any other leveraction carbine.

Some years ago , Mossberg made another lever gun. Although it looked like a marlin somewhat, it operated quite different. So this is the second go round for this company. The few early ones I had any hand on , seemed very strong and made well .I've read both pros and cons on this newer version. One person that bought one was very dissapointed . But several others had geat comments. They all seem to like the scope mounts being part of the rifle . I like what I see though.

Here is a review of it: http://www.gunblast.com/LFCombs_Mossberg464.htm

Having only handled one, I was wholly unimpressed. With its engineering shortcuts and quality of assembly, personally, it appears that a used Marlin or Winchester would be a much better use of funds.

That pretty well sums up my reaction to the one I've handled. My thought was, "I could buy almost two decent used Marlins for what this would cost me, and have at least twice the fun."
