Irresistible price
"About $300US" for distributors? Yeah you've got my attention!
He mentions aluminum receiver, steel internals. Very similar to the Winchester Ranger, also made in Turkey, but in 22lr.
Here is the US product. I don't see the extra cheap synthetic version anywhere as of yet, but sub-$500msrp for wood/black metal:

I hope not. Too much competition at that price. With how low the US MSRP is I'd expect them well under $1000 - conversion from the MSRP puts it at $650-$740CAD, obviously I don't expect they'll be that cheap but $750-900 depending on model doesn't sound out of the question to me... And if we get price gouged by a Canadian Distributor hopefully IRG can hook us up at a good price...
As a comparison, Rossi R92 MSRP is like $840USD.
Here's the company's website https://www.hugtekarms.com/category/lever-action-rifle/
16, 20, and 24" barrels, with a ####load of different furniture options? Hell yes!

Aluminum receiver on a model 92 and 94 action? That's a kablooy waitin' in the wings for folks using a bunch of factory pressure ammo. Cowboy action stuff be safest in that layout. Can hardly wait to see the results from folks running a bunch of rounds through these rifles to find out headspace issues due to the pounding of the receiver by the steel locking lugs or lug. Hot loaders avoid these toys fer sure until well proven.
Oh boy Turkish rifles, I'm sure they will meet the high quality standards of Turkish shotguns 
Honestly I'd love a rifle in this configuration (the cool sights, stainless, actually synthetic instead of wood covered in plastic) from a country that didn't produce guns that have an ~75% failure/malfunction rate from my not insignificant sampling of them

I agree, Ive seen brass frame Yellow boys & 66's stretch enough that the firing pins wont hit the primers anymore from using "hunting ammo" in them.
Interesting rifles. Would likely make a nice, light and easy-carrying shooter for small game hunting(where permitted), or for casual plinking at the range. Especially with .38 Special(if capable of feeding them. I'm with Fingers284, too. I doubt they'd hold up though, when fed a steady diet of Plus-P, or other high pressure ammo. Only time will tell. But, if the price is right, could be a fun little rifle.

Be careful out there folks when buying rifles made to look good, but ain't built good.

It looks like Bullseye has deleted their thread on these guns. Seems they didn't like the responses they were getting with regards to the crazy price. lmfao
