Will have one back in stock early next week. Will look and be priced the same as the trappers listed here:

How strong are these actions? I'm assuming they aren't Ruger #1 strong, but are they on par with the Marlin lever actions?

Pretty sure stronger than a marlin and close to the ruger. Guys are handloading close to the ruger #1 data. However, this rifle is light and it might start to be a hammer on both ends!!
