Saw this a couple weeks ago on YouTube. Since then I haven't seen anything and can't find any importers talking about bringing these to Canada. The crazy part that caught my attention is what they are claiming for price. In the video the company says, depending on features, they sell them for between €320 and €400 Euros (Google tells me that's $465 - $580 CDN) for the "Tactical" and around €300 ($435 CDN) for the "traditional". Obviously there would be some increase for shipping them to this side of the world, but they could end up pretty reasonable

EDIT TO ADD:
After reading more comments on the YouTube videos, it brought me to an American importer. Using the name they are importing it under, I found Bullseye North bringing in the 357mag version. Seems Bullseye is doing a pre-order here for $1100! My excitement has dwindled as for that price I'll go for a Rossi R92 or similar that has a pretty good track record and not a new company on the market



 
There's already a thread or two on these. The only ones to make it into Canada so far are the ones Gforce is importing into the US, they're calling them Huckleberry.

As you note Bullseye put up a pre-order, they're over $1000! Despite having a US MSRP under $500. They're very close in retail price to a Rossi, which has a us msrp of $840. It's insane.

Hopefully someone will get these straight from Turkey, cut out a middle man or two and get these prices to something that'll actually make people buy them...

Ya I didn't see the previous threads as I was using "Hugtek" as the search term. Wasn't until I read the YouTube comments to look for "Huckleberry"
I've been slowly looking for a 44 magnum lever gun, so I got excited when I saw this reasonably priced option, only to discover it isn't as reasonable as expected. I think it'll end up being a Rossi for me in the future

Yeah I'm also in the market for a lever this year. Rossi is leading the pack but I recently saw a thread that was talking about not being able to get parts for a Rossi, so that would be something I'd have to look into more before I buy one.

If you look at the other threads on these guns I did a bit of price comparing, and by my estimation these should be like $700 max... at that price I'd be interested...
 
Can Turkey make a lever action rifle worth owning? Before we even get to spending a G on it lol
 
Canadian tire in kemptville ontario has abunch of the Gforce by huckleberry lever guns, in 38/357, modeled after an 1892 winchester action feels good, finish is off, very hesitant at the nearly 1300 dollar price tag

If anyone wants when I'm off lunch I'll take one off the rack and take some pictures open the action etc.

For $5-600, might be worth a risk. For a grand or better, no dice.

Seems we are all in the same boat.... confused why a gun that the manufacturer is stating is MSRP €300 euro turns into $1200 CAD and unwilling to gamble on Turkish quality for that price. At least Rossi has a track record at that price so it seems like less of a gamble. Hell, at $1200 I'll spend an extra 20% and get a Henry and have zero worries

Doing some Googling, I found a gun store in Edmonton offering pre-order of the traditional style gun for (starting at) $780. Problem is I've never heard of them and their address is a PO box. Now, if that place IS a scam, they've done a good job on their website. They even have posted a scan of a RCMP Firearms Business certificate. So, on that note... anyone ever heard of Redneck Centric? I don't like pre-orders, but if they are legit, I'll watch their site for when rifles are actually in stock

One issue I see is we're currently getting Gforce Huckleberry rifles. That means they're going from Turkey to the US then to Canada, and you know there is someone making money in the US for this to happen. We need to cut out that middleman, get someone to bring them in straight from Turkey, with different options (Gforce doesn't have the straight black plastic model, or the tactical model in the OPs videos for example). At that point we should be able to get the cheap ones for like $500-600, unless North Sylva imports them of course, then we'll be paying $1200 and they'll come with a DMR trigger.
 
Suther: You mentioned a possible lack of Rossi parts as being a reason to avoid one. Recently came across a site called: Shop Rossi.com. A possible source for Rossi parts, now that Steve's Gunz no longer ships to Canada. A US company. They claim to ship their products anywhere in the world. Some parts available, but not all. May be worth contacting, if sourcing certain Rossi parts.
Gunslinger spring kit seem to be the most often ordered item, when slicking up the '92's.
Rusty Wood lists spring kits for Rossi '92 rifles. (Currently out of stock)
Palo Verde Gunworks(US), is another source(spring kits). Ships to Canada.
Brownells.(spring kit)
The information may be useful. If that is what you're looking for.
