Turkish gunmakers have started to supply lever rifles to the US, and Derya's RAN Ironwolf is one of them. It is chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, has a melonite finish and a lever action.

Melonite is a surface treatment that is hard and resists rust. It is a common finish on modern firearms and handles weather well. That makes this a rifle for hard use more than for display.

The .44 Magnum is a fine pistol caliber carbine round, with a broad range of ammunition. It is plentiful, and you can shoot .44 Special in many rifles for practice, though you should check the maker's manual first. Deer and hogs at moderate range are a fair target.

A lever gun of this type suits a hunter who values price. The rifle costs less than the big name brands, though it still has a premium price.

A short test session at the range will tell you how it feeds your chosen loads.

The listing is new. It ships to your FFL dealer for the background check.
