“Lever” gun means rifle almost exclusively. I make a distinction because for me the English style, straight stock wins on aesthetics, while I believe the pistol grip stock wins on function (control) not so much a factor for shotguns, but much more so for rifles where deliberate aiming is the norm.
I love the look of the “straight” on a shotgun or a rifle, other than the DGR’s or competitive guns, where you’ll never see ‘em because one needs every iota of control.
