The HugTek SXBSE — The Skeleton Tactical Side-Eject Lever Action
The HugTek SXBSE is the tactical one. A side-eject lever action built on a matte black steel receiver, wearing an adjustable aluminium skeleton stock and a modular M-LOK handguard — this is the classic lever gun dragged firmly into the modern era. If you love everything tactical (and everything tacticool), this is your lever action.
HugTek built the SXBSE for shooters who want adaptability. The skeletonised aluminium buttstock adjusts to fit you; the aluminium M-LOK handguard takes lights, lasers, bipods and slings; and a Picatinny rail comes fitted as standard for the optic of your choice. It’s a lever-action platform you configure to the job — not the other way round.
It’s also a seriously capable pig gun. Tactical lever-action pig guns have become the hot ticket for close-cover pig hunting — fast, handy, hard-hitting and quick to cycle — and the SXBSE nails the brief. Add the side-eject receiver (solid-top and optic-ready) and a 5/8×24 threaded muzzle, and you’ve got a genuine do-it-all bush rifle that’s equally at home on foxes, goats and deer.
Best of all, it’s smart money. Premium tactical lever-action pig guns command eye-watering prices — the SXBSE delivers the same concept from $1,350, in four calibres: .357 Magnum, .44, 30-30 Winchester and .410. Brand new, available now, from Gun Bar.
Tactical By Design — A Lever Action Built To Adapt
The classic lever gun, dragged firmly into the modern era — and built to be configured your way.
The SXBSE takes everything that makes a lever action fast and fun, and rebuilds it around a modern tactical platform. It starts with a matte black steel receiver — the durable, proven core of the rifle — and an anodised aluminium skeleton buttstock that’s light, rigid, weatherproof and adjustable to fit the shooter rather than the other way around.
Up front, an aluminium M-LOK handguard turns the SXBSE into a true accessory platform. M-LOK is the modern modular standard — slot in lights, lasers, bipods, hand stops and sling mounts exactly where you want them, and change the setup whenever the job changes. Very few lever actions are this adaptable straight from the box.
Because the SXBSE is a side-eject action, the top of the receiver stays solid — and HugTek fits a Picatinny optics rail as standard, backed by a hooded fibre-optic front sight. Mount a scope, red dot, LPVO or thermal straight away, or run the irons; the rifle is ready either way.
The result is a lever action that merges modern, configurable performance with the timeless character of the classic lever gun — the fast handling, the quick cycling, the sheer enjoyment. Adaptable, reliable, and built for shooters who like their kit to keep up with them.
The SXBSE is the lever action for the shooter who wants options — adjust it, accessorise it, optic it, and make it yours.
The Tactical Pig Gun — Without The Mad Price
Tactical lever-action pig guns are having a moment. Here’s how to get one without paying mad money.
The tactical lever-action “pig gun” has become one of the most sought-after rifle types going around. The headline act is the Marlin Mad Pig Customs series — genuinely excellent, US-built tactical lever actions that have put the modern pig gun firmly on the map. They are also seriously expensive: flagship Mad Pig Customs rifles retail around the $4,600 mark.
The HugTek SXBSE chases exactly the same brief — a tactical, accessory-ready, threaded and optic-friendly lever-action pig gun — and delivers it from $1,350. That’s roughly a third of the price of a top-tier Marlin Mad Pig. Same job, same fun, a fraction of the spend. You’d have to be a little mad to pay triple if you don’t have to.
To be straight with you: the SXBSE is a different rifle, from a different maker — it isn’t a Marlin and doesn’t pretend to be. But it brings something the Marlin Mad Pig Customs guns don’t. Where those rifles are top-eject, the SXBSE is side-eject — so it leaves a solid receiver top with a Picatinny rail fitted as standard, making it genuinely optic-ready, straight out of the box, for a scope, red dot or thermal.
So if you’ve been searching for a Marlin Mad Pig, a “pig gun” or a tactical pig lever and blinked at the price, the HugTek SXBSE is the value-smart answer. Call the Gun Bar team on 1800 GUNBAR and we’ll talk you through it.
The SXBSE delivers the tactical pig-gun experience — skeleton stock, M-LOK, optic-ready — at a genuinely sane price.
Tactical Precision, Effortless Handling
Every SXBSE shares the same hard-working core — whichever calibre you choose, you get the full feature set.

5/8×24 UNEF Threaded Muzzle

Shared Across The Entire SXBSE Range
Built For The Bush — A True Pig Gun
Tactical looks, real-world capability. Here’s where the SXBSE earns its keep.
Pigs In The Scrub
In thick cover, a short, fast-pointing tactical carbine is king. The SXBSE in .357 or .44 Magnum swings fast onto a bolting pig and cycles quick for the follow-up — a genuine pig gun, built for the job.
Deer, Goats & General Hunting
The 30-30 Winchester SXBSE brings the heritage deer-and-goat calibre into a modern tactical package, with an 18.5″ barrel and a fitted optics rail for confident shot placement.
After Dark — Thermal & Red Dot
With the Picatinny rail fitted and an M-LOK handguard for a light, the SXBSE is ready for night work — foxes and pigs after dark with a thermal or red dot, exactly where tactical lever actions earn their keep.
