Levers are the most complex design among repeaters, bolt guns the simplest. I suppose there are some junk bolt guns, but I've never seen a lever that could come close to a bolt rile in reliability. Especially if you start asking the rifle to function when dirty.

Most people don't really want the truth.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
