SGC Lever actions have been around for years, got a bit eclipsed by the lever release versions.
The new one is reported to have the lever in front of the grip instead of the grip like those shown at Shot last year or the year before.
I cannot seem to find a picture of them now. It didn't look too easy to use but there will be a limited market I suppose. Wouldn't work for a longer action cartridge without a lot of extra work inside.

The UKPSA used to run 'long barrelled firearms' competitions for years and years with most of them accommodating virtually every type of gun you can practically (bom bom) use. So in the same comp you'd have .22 LBP's, multi-calibres of LBR's, lever actions, lever-release, bolt-actions and every .22 rifle under the sun.
For whatever reason at the end of last year/start of this year they wanted to make a bigger distinction between handguns and rifles and this year was going to be the roll out of tailored comps for each type of firearm but CV19 has put a stop to that. However, long story short, (too late) PCC will still be included.
There are a load of gallery rifle type comps you could use them in too.

Got enough ARs, when I can finally put a variation in I'm going .38/.357 Marlin.

That is awesome! Pity its a one off really! If the SGC 9mm lever-actions are as short of a throw as that in the video (i.e. so you can keep your thumb on the back of the pistol grip), I could well be interested, as much as it pains me!

Some superb innovation here, I am really impressed. I just wish he had cycled it a bit slower for the video...
