Is there a company making this into a lever gun yet?

EDIT: I wonder if this rifle could take the increased pressures of a .460 S&W round if it was so chambered? http://www.marlinfirearms.com/Firearms/bigbore/1895SBL.asp

EDIT: Thanks for the lead ruger41. Although not a .460 S&W it is a lever gun but from a company I know nothing about. http://www.gunblast.com/images/SHOT2010/Day0/DSC09121.JPG

Just checked their website. MSRP $1900 Dang the luck!![:0]

  I do not know of one yet, but that might have changed with the SHOT show. I am not sure that the round will fit in the Winchester 92 clones, or that the rifle is strong enough. It develops a lot more back thrust than the 454 Casull. I know T/C has chambered them in their Encore's. along with the 500 S&W, and they are pretty brutal on optics, and optics mounts.

  I know it's not a levergun and not in .460 but if you are looking for a boatload of power from a small rifle, H&R does make their Handi-Rifle in .500 S&W dunno why they don't offer it in .460 as that would be more versitile.
  
  edit--just visited gunblast.com and they were reviewing SHOT show new guns--well here is a brand new .500 levergun! http://www.gunblast.com/SHOT_2010_0.htm

  ouch on that price. I know you really want the .460 but if you cannot find one, Rossi made their lever action Puma in .454 Casull and in .480 Ruger which would get you somewhat higher up in power-there are a few on the auction side for under $500.
