With side ejection and a lightweight aerospace alloy receiver, the top is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, and the bottom features a steel-bodied flush-fit detachable magazine (4+1 round capacity in 243 Winchester) with a steel floorplate and a blackened steel release button on the right side of the receiver. All behind a 20” round and blued free-floated sporter barrel and supported by a two-piece oil-finished American Walnut stock with precise laser-cut checkering, sling swivel studs, and a solid black rubber recoil pad for both recoil control and non-slip anchoring on the shoulder for the rapid follow-up shots where lever actions excel. (We don’t expect you to miss with this rifle, but if you do, second shot comin’ right up.) Like our other centerfires, the Long Ranger carries on the in-hammer sliding transfer bar as a safety, in lieu of a manual safety button or slider that can be hard to operate with gloves. Accurate? You bet. This is the Best-In-Class lever gun that leaves many bolt actions in the dust. If you’ve ever passed up a lever in favor of a bolt because of accuracy doubts, then doubt no longer. We didn’t pick the Long Ranger name out of a hat; if you need a tight shooter that’ll reach out there, this rifle delivers. From coyote to whitetail to bear, the new Long Ranger is a logical evolution in lever action technology as America’s contribution to classic firearms design and it has you covered from hardwood forest to sagebrush flat in a trim, quick handling, and dependable 7-pound rifle you’ll be happy to reach for as you head out the door. We’ve upped our hunting ante, time for you to do the same? The Long Ranger Wildlife Antelope edition is centered around an eye-catching lightweight alloy receiver plated with highly polished nickel that beautifully displays a single antelope head against a background of rolling hills on the left, and a full-figured pair on the prairie on the right and lightly accented with 24 K gold inlay. Rear sight is folding fully adjustable, front sight is ramp w/.062" Ivory bead, drilled and tapped for scope. Walnut stock with black solid rubber recoil pad. Includes swivel studs and removable magazine.
