One of the reasons I’m leaning towards Marlin is due to the red dot mount MI has for their fore end. It puts a red dot very close to the bore so you can lower 1/3 co-witness the open sights and, but more importantly, not have a ridiculously cheekwell when using the red dot.

That might be the AR of 2030.

I’m not one to tacticool old school firearms but I like the M-Lok handguard and red dot mount MI makes for Marlin lever actions. Definitely gives Marlin lever actions more flexibility. Also the hand guard can be used to mount a light and/or a Hoptic Quiver or Longbow.

I like the idea of a lever gun in 357 and that setup looks pretty nice.
