high tech lever guns

[kt]

is it safe to say that no body is buying a lever because they are looking for a 200+ gun? i am already fed up with the new hornady marlin thing and the 308 cartridge they have drawn up. then again i was also the first to bash the 45 gap. i just feel this cartridge is taking up too many pages in magazines. i think marlin should get with the rest of the world (my browning or winchester) which have offered 270, 243, and 308 in a lever for a long time, lets face it the only marlin real difference is single loading each shell and who enjoys that. bottom line is the inovations of guns today work well enough with the cartridges of the past 20 years. any body have plans to buy this thing. how about the .30 t/c?
