anyone notice the Mossberg lever action .30-30 announcement?

It is in the Feb/Mar issue of Petersens Hunting. Just a blurb, no photo, but it says it is a top ejecting traditional lever action. Sounds vaguely Winchester 94-ish to me.

I remember that Mossberg made a .30-30 lever somewhat similar to the Marlin 336 some years back (70's? early 80's?), but this sounds like a completely different rifle.

Anyone else see this, or have any more info?

Not sure what happened with this, it got moved and messed up in the move.

So...back from the grave, we'll try it again.

I don't know about Mossberg.... But since Remington purchased Marlin... we might see a Remington badged lever gun.
They did the same thing with Bushmaster and the R-15.

Here's to hoping. The 1894 patent expires long ago . . .
