I had a lever action Daisey BB gun when I was a kid. Does that count? Actually, I have started getting into the lever actions as of late. I got a pre64 M94 in 30-30 about 20 years ago but have rarely used it. I have recently added five Marlins to my gun rack, a 45/70, a 45 Colt, a 357/38, a 32/20, and a 22. I have enjoyed shooting my brother's Savage a few times but always thought the looked kind of funny. I just can't see Gary Cooper walking down the street and into a saloon carrying a Savage 99. I am surprised I didn't get into the lever actions sooner considering all the westerns I watched as a kid.
