1st, 2nd, or 3rd place, would you say?
You take away one of the primary advantages that a levergun has going for it - the short handy brush-busting length & weight, and un-do that advantage, for very small gain in performance which is not needed, when instead, you could actually get the same length or a shorter barrel in a different caliber (such as .308 marlin), and have as much or more power and still retain the handy length and lighter weight. The more I think about the XLR, the dumber it seems to become, in calibers like .30-30, .35 Rem, .444 Marlin, and .45-70. This is true with OR without using leverevolution ammo.
