A Slower Burn That Caught Fire
When we launched the Derya RAN and RANX lever-action series in late May 2026, the initial response was exactly what we expected from a brand-new modern lever platform. Many shooters were intrigued by the concept — a factory-built lever action that already includes the upgrades people usually add aftermarket (threaded barrels, M-LOK forends, Picatinny rails, and adjustable stocks) — but they wanted to see it in person and hear real feedback before jumping in. The first couple of weeks were a slower burn as the community got familiar with the platform.
That changed quickly.
The Momentum Shift
Over the last week, the RAN and RANX have started generating real traction across social media, YouTube, and industry coverage. Reviewers and content creators are getting hands-on time with the rifles and pistol, and the feedback has been consistently positive.

The RAN platform was designed to solve a common complaint in the modern lever-action world: shooters love the classic feel and reliability, but they usually have to spend extra time and money adding M-LOK, optics rails, threaded barrels, and better stocks themselves. With the RAN (available in Walnut Nickel and tactical Ironwolf versions) and the compact RANX pistol (with the Steelfang folding brace), we brought those upgrades straight from the factory. Reviewers are noticing that the guns feel “ready to go” the moment you open the box.
Early Feedback Has Focused On
- Smooth lever operation
- The quality and adjustability of the Ironwolf stock
- The practicality of the threaded barrel and M-LOK system
- The value at the price point
- How well the RANX fills the “compact but powerful” niche
“We’re still early in the lifecycle of these guns, but the trajectory is clear. As more people get range time with the RAN and RANX — and as more unboxings, reviews, and range videos drop — the momentum is only going to build.”

If you haven’t had a chance to handle one yet, we encourage you to visit an authorized Derya dealer. The best way to understand what these levers bring to the table is to shoulder one and run the action yourself.
We’re grateful to everyone who has taken the time to review the guns, post about them, and share their honest feedback. The lever-action community has been incredibly welcoming, and we’re excited to keep earning that support.
