BLR is a good rifle. Savage 99 no longer in production, but my goodness, quite a rifle. Henry has recently introduced their "Long Ranger" but I've never shot one. I'd think that in 6.5 or 308, it might be a mighty fine lever action rifle.
Others have been tried over the years.
Me? I really like a traditional Marlin and am quite willing to accept the old design. It just feels good!
I sometimes think that the 45/70 Marlin 1895 has kept the lever action fires burning. Great combo.
