Heritage Manufacturing, long known for Western-inspired firearms, announced an expansion to its lineup with a new series of rimfire lever-action rifles.
The new series, christened the Settler, is a set of three cowboy guns with alloy steel barrels in a black oxide finish with wood stocks. Accompanied by a case-hardened look, each gun also sports a cross-bolt manual safety, Buckhorn rear sights, and a front post.
Heritage’s Settler series includes a 10-round Mare’s Leg pistol, a 13-round Settler Compact carbine, and a 15-round full-size Settler.

Heritage is already known for its Rough Rider and Barkeep revolvers that bring an old-school look and feel to wheel guns. So, it’s no surprise the company has expanded further into the classic lever-action field.
The company said the Setter series is perfect for gun owners who love the nostalgia that Wild West guns bring.
“Journey back to the days of the Wild West with these rifles that pay homage to the rugged, adventurous spirit of the frontier while delivering modern-day precision and reliability,” Heritage said.
“Whether you're a cowboy at heart or simply captivated by the allure of the Old West, our Lever Action category offers you a piece of American history. With craftsmanship rooted in tradition and design reminiscent of the frontier era, these rifles are a true embodiment of the Western spirit.”
MSRP for the series ranges between $474 and $499. The full-size Settler is shipping now, while the Mare's Leg is expected in early November, and the Compact headed out at the end of November.
