This guy lives in one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen
and permanently unusable for destructive agriculture due to high amount of lead in the soil.
it's a hill
It just looks like Southern California
@JJadx who told you we use leadshot still? Abraham Kennedy?
All I can say is lever action rifles are unmatched in my eyes, always been a fan, I received my dad's old 30-30 Winchester lever action in my mid-teens and I've been hooked ever since. Being modernized and modified like this is just a dream come true. I love that people are out there still doing stuff to these guns.
Same, i have my dads old 30-30 Winchester and thats what made me love lever action, problem is, in sweden 30-30 ammo rarley used and suuper expensive :/
You need to try a Marlin Model 444 chambered in .444 marlin. A friend of my grandpa let me try it and I absolutely loved it.
@MrBrewsk Awesome thank you for that. I just recently got the Marlin 45-70 and it's a kicker lol! I'll definitely check out the .444
45-70 is unmatched to 30-30
Dude! That backdrop scenery is unbelievable!
People just don’t realize what an absolute treasure Chris Costa is for this community and I hope they become enlightened. Can’t thank you enough for the years of knowledge Chris!
He’s a shill. A huge one.
@@fiveoboy01 but yet here you are?? LoL ok 👌….. He’s done more for the firearms/ Training community and the 2nd Amendment then most, you included.
Appreciate the kind words chris. Thx c

You're a very lucky man to be able to live in such a place. It's beautiful.
Where is this do you know?
Lucky?? Nah. He earned that! He didn't win that lifestyle in a game of bingo.

The octagon barrels are nice. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏾
Hands down best range view I’ve seen. Absolutely beautiful place you’ve got there.
Beautiful surroundings you film in you are truly blessed
Awesome looking unit, love the color. Thanks for sharing sir.
Great video, love those Thumpers. Very nostalgic to me. I grew up deer hunting with a 45-70 as a kid. I will have to get one of these modern day tactical lever rifles. Super cool. Like the leather work too. What an amazing place to live also.
Lookin good Chris! It’s good to see you’re not slowing down. I love the dynamic you’ve come up with for the lever guns.
First time viewer to the channel…background is amazing and that has to be the best lever gun and gear I’ve ever seen! Great job!
Thank you for demonstrating these, it's really interesting. Amazing place to shoot too!
I've been shooting for 35 years, with a carbine (Winchester Trapper) as my main gun for the past 20 years and mostly in a basement under a leisure center lol.
Great presentation, professional, no extraneous, useless words. Good camera work and excellent pacing.
I absolutely LOVE lever guns. I grew up on them, took my first deer with a Winchester .30-30 that belonged to my late grandfather. I have an older Winchester ranger and I’ve recently gotten the side optic mount and put a small reflex optic on it and I love it. Just wish I could find a Marlin out there to put a Midwest industries free float rail on it and add a brake to it.
Chris you are by far my favorite professional shooter. Your techniques have paved the way for all of Western shooting. Whether it was way back in those Coast Guard days or today. Thank you so much for all you do brother. Keep on bustin steel all the best.
Half the stuff in the magpul videos were debunked lol. Go look at what an actual delta force guy tmacs says about search and assess
I started watching for the beautiful backdrop scenery - stayed for the awesome kit review.
Love the lever gun series! Watched a couple kids at the range the other day with an Ak and as you can imagine they were almost Darwin award winners. Classic rifle, it won the west, the AR of the 1800’s.
Won the West?. OH, you are talking about the Nations of people that were promised protection, then murdered and dispossessed ?.
Been running (and winning) competitions with an YugoM70 for years. I’ll take an AK over an AR any day. Every day.
This is a really great thought out process... in all of his vids...
Was recently, just recapping on some of the early "art of" vids he made with the other company.... excellent work.
Hand this man a muzzle loader rifle or musket(a cap or flint... even a matchlock), he'll be able to make 4-5 rounds a minute... in any weather...
I would love to see that happen as to what he could come up with...
The art of the dynamic musket.
You're the best Chris your magpul dynamics dvd taught me so much in the beginning
Love the 45-70 but I love the land even more, you are unbelievably lucky to live where you do my man!
Legendary dude does legendary stuff in a legendary place then tells you exactly how to do it. Knowledge can always be bad ass 💪👏👏👏🙏
My dad started me on a lever action 22, it's amazing how far they've come.
Absolutely, today's versions do so much more than load and eject.
I've always loved lever guns. This V2 is sooo badass. Kudos!
I recently became a fan of modern 45 70 rifles, and every last thing about them has a charm to it. Beautiful land out there too.
@ 1:40 I just saw the most calculated & intense, lever action reload sequence ever. Man and machine. WoW That was beautiful.
Great video. This is the first time I've seen a modernized lever action (I don't get out much). That cartridge belt is damn nice as well.
Appreciate your service

@@carlbegley8736 Ex-SSgt, but good morning to you as well.
@@TheofficialCostaludus Thank you, but I thank the taxpayers for paying my wages and room and board. And apologize for wasting so many tax dollars.
@@_itsallahoax I thought there was no such thing as an Ex-Marine?
just something beautiful about lever actions
that back drop in the beginning is just so nice.
Looks like I’ve found a gun worth going through the crazy Scottish gun-licensing process for.
In a side note this lad is a unit.
Love that property. I would have so much fun on land like that.
The view is stunning...
In the market for a lever action & first time to this channel. Wow, blown away with the knowledge.
I think a mechanic worth adding to the modern manual of arms for a lever action is when reloading; stuff the first round in and work the action.
THEN finish loading the tube.
This avoids several issues: 1) not having a round in the chamber and the gun in service asap, 2) not filling up to capacity, 3) potentially getting tunnel vision (gives a second to look up and scan), 4) forgetting to chamber and cock the rifle after loading.
Ultimately, getting it back up from empty to 1-shot is better than being caught with four in the tube and none in the spout when you really need it.
After seeing the absolute hail of lead the cowboy action shooters are capable of putting out with their lever guns I've been sold on their viability. Not to mention something like the 45-70 is about the most versatile round in existence. It can handle the Big 5 in Africa, Bear or Elk in the lower 48, Moose in Alaska, even deer with trapdoor loads, and of course it has the potential as a quick handling and very well balanced gun for self defence.
As for extra ammo on my end I've been wearing the Kirkpatrick bandolier, and it's also quite nice (currently waiting on another for 357).
Not sure about versatile. Not much good if he wants to shoot something on that hill behind him
@@theowenssailingdiary5239 45-70 was tested successfully by the US Army out to 2500 yards with the 500 grain load, reliably hitting a 6 foot target. It's still competed with out over 1,000 yards.
@@coldsteel.and.courage On what gun ?
@@rfcdgaf my 45-70 is a newer Henry with the side gate. I leathered it up some, quick take down screw for easy cleaning, ranger point sights. It's been a really solid gun for me.
I regret spending money on my 450 bushmaster. I should have just bought this instead
Absolutely STUNNING property!!
I really love the landscape. Beautiful place to own a land at.
Cool rifles. I use a Winchester md 1886 but it’s in 45-90 it’s really old and still works fantastic. Great video 👍
I used to be a traditionalist when it came to lever actions but since buying my first Marlin with a picatinny rail, I have warmed up to the “tactical” versions. I didn’t like the look of a mlok hand-guard on a lever gun, but if the whole gun is modified as yours, then I think it looks great.
The scenery is so precious lets go on a hike there
I've just watched this as a recommended video. You are a tier 1 alpha on that approach. Subscribed! Much love from the UK
That thing is a beast.. I need one! 🤘🏼🇺🇲
If I loved there, i would have hiked those hills like no tomorrow and gotten me a nice horse to accompany me
Beautiful set up
Man, that property is absolutely beautiful!!! I literally couldn't think of a better place to live.
Love your belt man, that’s classic style. Got to get my hands on something like that for my 30/30
If I had to grab only one gun and run out the door it would definitely be my 35 or 30-30. It's hard to beat a lever gun. Definitely my two favorite but also because they were left to me by my grandpa
Grandpa guns are the best.
SIMPLY AWESOME!!!!! I still have my Winchester model 94, 30-30 that my Dad bought me from Sears when I was 12. I'm 54 now. Great vid and those lever guns you have in this vid are beautiful and can be easily used for a tactical situation.....in my opinion.
I would love to see some manufacture make a lever gun that takes magazines. Maybe someone does, but I have not seen anything with mags yet.
MUCH RESPECT!!!!
OSS!!
Those are just insanely awesome!!!
Wow! Impressive. I love my lever guns as well, but you have perfected them. I have a Marlin .44 mag, .30-30 and a .45-70. Maybe one day I can have one detailed like yours. Just a bit to pricy for me as a retiree. I think the big thing is having the inner workings smoothed over is the best thing. I love the traditional look of all lever guns. Enjoyed your video. You have a beautiful piece of property. Looks like New Zealand. Although I know it's in the States.
for around $780 bucks there is the citadel levtac 92. you can get it in 357 mag and rainier arms HAD the 44 mag version, but the 357 mag is still in stock.
im not sure if its made in turkey or the philippines but the reviews seem pretty good.
i hope you and i both get moderenized lever guns one day and can talk about it
do something to make extra $ and treat urself... remember u have more knowledge than all young people
New Zealander here, can confirm.
@@jacobmanalang8162 man I really want one in .357 but imma have to save up as well
bruh i thought it was Red Dead 2 at first. God damn what a good looking landscape
Absolutely stunning at first glance I thought it was greenscreen or cgi.
Image living right at the foot of the hills, blessed!
Those are some absolutely gorgeous lever guns!
Beautiful background and beautiful arm's (The lever action) . Thanks for the informative video
Ah damn had to reupload this one for some reason? I definitely want to get a badass Henry .45-70 lever gun soon. So all together that’s (42+42+12+5) X 500 = 50,500 grains of lead to sling! Much love from Texas.
Howdy Tex! Ok, I thought for a moment I was losing my mind. This is the same video from yesterday.
Seriously Sir, I would not buy a Henry!! The quality is nowhere near a Marlin’s. When you compare the Marlin Dark series to the Henry dark series, the Henry has plastic stocks where the Marlin is made with wood butt stock and forearm. They paint them with spider black paint that resists the elements.
@@kevinrollman3101 “Henry dark series” is not a thing. And who said I’m gonna be keeping the stock furniture on the gun? I want one customized like these in the video. Yeah, right, I’m sure Henry makes crap guns. 🙄 calm down, bud.
@@kevinrollman3101 Seriously, I bought a Hemry X in 44 magnum almost two years ago. I've only put 2000, or so, rounds through it and it has been flawless. I've used both factory ammo and handloads. It has sent everything down range that I've put into it. It will even cycle empty 44 special brass. I'm looking for a double ended wadcutter mold to make 44 special plinking loads. I have to admit that I did upgrade it. I added a sling to it. I wouldn't hesitate to buy amother one.
@@Tex_I_Can by upgrade do you mean internal parts? Because I wouldn’t consider a sling an “upgrade”. That’s just an external accessory, but an important one nonetheless. I want one in .45-70!
I'm from nj and our gun laws are shi*headed, to say the least, but you sir have amazing taste in firearms. No showy, cheap looking or cringy. That rifle is form, function and presence divine.
What amazing scenery, so peaceful. I'm jealous
What a beautiful gun. No words can express how beautiful that gun is. One day I'll be able to afford it
As somewhat of a "purist" when it comes to the old school Aesthetic of Lever Guns, I have to say that the Thumper is well done. Too many "modernized" Lever Guns try to reinvent the wheel and go all Space Age with their configuration. The result generally ends up being a skeleton frame that looks like it would break in a stiff breeze. Kinda defeats negates a lot of the benefits of a Lever action firearm.
This thing, however, looks like you could use it to club a Grizzly Bear after you run out of ammo.
Very nice video, the henry x model 45-70 definitely my next hunting weapon.
Greetings from Bavaria, Germany. 🤠
...kann dir nur zustimmen,...die Clips von Chris Costa sind schon besonders,...diese Freiheit dort, wie sie mit ihren Waffen umgehen können, treibt mir regelrecht Tränen in die Augen,...und das enorme Wissen von Chris ist sehr lehrreich,...na und über die sagenhafte fantastische Landschaft brauchen wir erst gar nicht reden,...ich darf mir gar nicht vorstellen, dort einige Zeit mit meinen Waffen zu verbringen,...traumhaft,...semper fi,...bavaria, R.
Awesome setup!
Beautiful property!
This is a very nice presentation. Let's talk production. Your audio is great. And your video is great. These are things that most gun channels completely ignore. Thank you for providing a very nice all around presentation. The shooting dose not suck either. . . Keep up the good work.
true
Mate I’m with you on traditional guns. There’s nothing like timber and steel.
Sir. Your living my dream life! The guns, calibers , ranch, physical fitness! Subed!
I see clearly the fun in designing then shooting those developed lever guns. I love my Rossi R92 stainless in 454 Cassul that I personally did all the internal work to.
I used to hate the more modern tactical style lever actions but honestly, they have grown on me, I think id keep wood furniture and a blued finish on mine but I like the rail system alot
The 45.70 is one of the funnest damn brush guns I’ve ever shot or hunted with. Down in South Texas where we have loads of wild hogs that grow to be some really large sized, putting an NVG/Red light in these bad boys and firing away makes the hairs on the back of your ass stand up.
I’m going to say now that I bet you don’t need a follow up hit from a 45-70 govt?
@@TheTyrantOfMars brother, there will be a hole in that damn wild hog the size of a coke can lmao! We sat out one night doing calls that imitated a coyote in heat. 2 Yotes came hauling as from the distance, as did several big ass coons. Why, I don’t know lol. Long story short, when I dropped the red light and those eyes lit up, my buddy let one fly and i swear it blew that Yotes entire lower half of his body off. Distance was about 60 yards, but it absolutely made a mess. We hit a big ass barn owl with one one night that absolutely slaughtered a nest of Robins. That damn big ass owl landed on the fence line, and when that brush gun hit it, it was like a cartoon. Feathers and wings went everywhere Lmaooo!!!! No owl left to be found.
@@peepininmywindow5170 shooting an owl for feeding its own young... It's people like you who make the decent gun owners look bad.
Lmfao, it doesn’t matter what you’re shooting. If you’re hitting pigs anywhere other than below the ear they have the potential to run. I’ve killed more than my fair share with an 1895G and 325gr FTX. They run less with a small round below the ear than a big round through the pump station. Also, .45-70 doesn’t knock huge holes. It just opens a permanent wound channel the size of your thumb. It’s a lot of things, but it’ll never be a magnum rifle.
What a beautiful landscape, holy
Won't lie, 3/4 of the time I was staring at the scenery...such a beautiful place !
What are your thoughts on .458 SOCOM? Seems like it would give you the ballistics of a 45-70 with the ergonomics, ease of reload, and ease of follow-up shots of an AR
I haven’t shot that caliber but I had shot the 50 bay wolf and the 499 I didn’t like them out of the AR. In a different platform maybe
I like my .458 SOCOM... it drops what it hits
its super top notch, get Tromix
got a 12" , 300 grains going 2000 fps and 500-600 grain going 1000 fps
I love the idea and all behind this. However the price they want to me is more than what I think the worth is. I’m by no means judging anyone that wants to do any of this and gets a rifle pimped by mad pic custom. I think I’ll just stick with putting a few little extras on my fire stick from ranger point.
Stock - 375 , rail/sights 325 , quivers 50. Hard to justify $1700 to chop the barrel and install parts, seems like a stretch. But hey if you have the money and don't care, then go for it lol
This beautiful broomstick will need a crossbody and waist belt bandolier. Thanks Chris for this wonderful video!
You are living the dream brother. Well done is all I can say. Enjoy it for us.
Dude i think this piece of weaponry might be the solution to the skinwalker problems I've been having in my ranch lands. Greetings from Wyoming.
I fully expect a custom to be released... would pribably cost $10k with how proud mfgs are of their lever guns. You could call it the "Costa Ludicrous Lever Gun"... marketing genius i tell ya!
They do have a custom for him its 2k plus base rifle
I love how classic it is
This place looks so fraking beautiful....OMG
That's a beautiful sling, just stunning.
The first rifle is gorgeous! I’ve admired the 45-70 since I worked at Cabela’s back in 2005. Be careful showing these cool rifles on TH-cam. You don’t want the gun grabbers to put them on their radar.🤔 ooo,those black guns look dangerous!🙀
No no I want me a tactical lever action
@@lilrice42 but that tactical one looks heavier and way uncomfortable. Nothing practical about it.
@@200130769 "looks" heavier and uncomfortable... ever heard dont judge a book by its cover? trust me I use both platforms and the "tactical" one aint heavier until I had a bunch to the rail, and its VERY comfortable. And to say not practical, you gotta be blind for that lol.
@@jtbanner7220 I didn't judge a book by its cover. I said it LOOKS heavier. I didn't say it was heavier. Ever hear of reading comprehension? And its funny how you say it is more practical but can't explain how. 🤦♂️
@@200130769 I mean it’s literally built for practicality. Easy to access ammunition, a rail you can attach literally anything you need per situation you need to use it for. I’m just not sure why it needs an explanation on why the one with less limitations is more practical, it’s implied.
Really enjoying the work you’re doing with the lever guns, i’d love to know you’re thoughts on running pump action rifles like the remington 7615/7600 series for those of us in restricted states/countries 🤙🏻
Pump action rifles are awesome
the view is amazing
That's nice and clean 👌🏽 what a beauty 😍
Those guns look amazing ! I'm super new to the hobby / way of life, and not really a fan of that style but...I do like something similar, in terms of "look." And that's the Fightlite SCR ! Rifle. But, seems like they don't make them anymore...and the ones I have found, have an added $1000 cost on top of the base cost, pretty wild. Your V1 and V2 reminded me of the SCR a lot. Nice video, I learned a lot.
They are doing another run soon. Follow on IG
@@brettywap2295 Wow !!! Just went and looked, ur right ! That last one on the last slide was sick ! Love to style / color. Definitely gonna stay looped in on that ! I’m in Cali so…not too many options for us lol, and…I’m not really into the whole AR craze and the wild stuff you have to do to em to legally have em out here so, the SCR was a good surprise. Definitely wanna buy one, gonna wait a little longer.
You can not go beyond infinity.
Well…if we’re talking math theory outside of real numbers, cardinal numbers can have larger infinities. But who’s really nitpicking? LOL
Outstanding review
Love watching your shooting ... snappy post-shooting theatrics notwithstanding.
I've never understood why this concept didn't catch on sooner. I've always thought the lever gun could be a tactically viable weapon. I read about the idea years ago. I think it can be a good weapon, at the very least, for home defense and possibly police use in some situations.
I think the one caviot is it's slower loading. They definitely have a reliable action, and can be fired fast, just not loaded as fast as a magazine fed weapon. Those steam punk looking rifles are great though...how cool is that?!?!
Except for being inferior in every single way to a semi-auto, sure. The Army should not have rejected lever action 150 years ago, but that's where lever action belongs in a practical or tactical sense: 1870. They are obsolete except for entertainment and have been for a very long time.
@@reliantncc1864 Thanx for that but of wisdom, tactical Timmy!!!
@@skeetwebster9389 Lever action being a hobby of yours does not make it less obsolete. If you can name a relevant advantage lever action has over semi-auto, feel free to attempt to do so. The advantages of semi-auto: fire rate, reload speed, magazine capacity, ease of use, allowing standard pointed bullets, etc. The advantages of lever action: ???
@@reliantncc1864 it would be more quiet suppressed.
Thanks for the review. I am looking for a lever action and this is just perfect.
What a venue. You're doing it right my friend.
What a beautiful looking modern lever gun.
both the V1 and V2 are sexy lever-action guns! gorgeous pieces of machinery
Epic definitely a must own
I like this guy. I just wanted to stare at the gun while I run off with my imagination what I'd do to customize it .... And he's still just holding it in perfect view so as not to disrupt my experience while filling my head with insights and info.
Lol subscribed
What a stunning gun. Love it!
Man that thing is AWESOME!
Man I gotta say, being a now 62 year old USMC combat Engr. and later an Armorer, you gave me some ideas on my Marlin 336/35 Kudos on the reloads too.
That's the coolest thing I've never seen before.
Sir I just want to say this is by far one of the BEST videos I've ever seen about these rifles.. VERY DETAILED and worth viewing. Damn Good job... BULLY!!!! OUTSTANDING! Thanks for the work that you put into this video! :)
Appreciate the kind words
