Can a die-hard lever-action traditionalist evolve? In this episode, Hunter opens up to new calibers beyond his short-barreled ARs and falls in love with a $3,000 Mad Pig Customs Marlin Lever Action build! We discuss realistic optic placement on lever guns, lever-action vs modern rifles, and why Midwest Industries makes solid gear across platforms — from levers to ARs to MP5s.

We also call out ridiculously overpriced guns and accessories, remind everyone that firearms should be fun, and prove you really can teach an old dog new tricks. Plenty of laughs, honest opinions, and practical range talk in this one.

If you’re a lever-action fan, AR guy, or someone who loves evolving your gun game — this episode is for you!
