They're available in TAKTUHKL!



That is absolutely incongruous, yet it makes sense as a fantasic futuristic serbibble riffle, what with the fact that .30-30 is/should be/might be stocked everywhere that .223/5.56 is.

I'd pass and get a real M94. Too many good used Winchesters out there to settle for the Mossberg IMO.

The safety is better than what Winchesters have. Also, they mount scopes better. My father-in-law has one and it is a good rifle.

My nephew bought his Mossberg 3 years ago. We mounted a Bushnell 1.5 - 4.5X scope and it shoots consistent 2 inch groups at 100 yards. He downed a heavy bodied 6 pointer in Maryland with this outfit. The animal toppled after just a couple jumps. Very good performance!

I can find nothing wrong with this well balanced carbine by Mossberg.

Hoping this is helpful.

Yea, they work, but there are over 14 million used Marlin and Winchester 30-30's out there and an awful lot of them are for sale. You'll get a better rifle for less money going that route.

The used Winchesters in good condition I see in gun shops in person are not cheaper than a new Mossie 464.

By the way, if your from Texas you might like the fact that the 464 is made in Texas.

I have been seeing the MB lever guns at the gun shows as well. Reviewers say they are good to go. However holding it and looking at it is a different story for me. Just feels cheap and has ugly wood on it. I looked at more than one and came away unimpressed. I am sure it will take deer just as well as many others. The gun just did not call to me as something impressive or desirable. Just my thoughts. Should be yours!

What Milk said. After owning a M94 Win. for 30 years, I could never be satisfied with a Mossberg 464. Look and feel very cheap by comparison.

and if you shop around, you can find a clean used W94 for not much more. But it's your money and I know what it's like to live on a tight budget, so if it's all you can afford I say go for it.
