I just purchased a new Mossberg model 464 and it seems like I've had it for years. It's that comfortable out of the box! Every American should have a 30-30 lever action rifle to call his or her own. This gun is accurate with the iron sights and the white diamond rear sight is very visible even in low light. The lever action is smooth as glass. The craftsmanship is superb. It looks great, feels great and shoots great! It's iconic appearance looks much better than it's Marlin counterpart in my opinion. I can't keep my eyes off of it! You should go get one for yourself. You'll be completely satisfied!
