I'm searching for a beater lever gun as a favor for my boss. Something like a totally grey rat, extra holes, etc. that I won't feel bad refinishing for him. He just wants a hunting rifle, period, and being a lefty I'm steering him in the direction of a lever gun. Only requirement is that it needs to be functionally sound with a decent bore. Cheaper the better, as I'm fronting it to him and he'll pay me as he can.
Naturally I would prefer to set him up with a Savage, but a Winchester or Marlin would be considered. Preferably in a common caliber, ie: .30-30, .300, etc. as I really don't want to get into making custom cartridges for him too.
Anything out there?
