With the new age of long range, I don't understand the modern lever action craze.
Allow me to pile on….😜
I see you’re in AZ, so your notion probably reflects that.
This past season I made my longest shot on a whitetail since the 80s, maybe 125yards. About a minute earlier, I shot another one at maybe 50, and a few weeks earlier, one at 7. The only reason I got the longest opportunity is that the DNR opened up a bunch of food plots that were previously head-high brushy fields. One of those plots may present a shot as long as nearly 300 yards, and I saw some like that earlier during the antlerless and archery season. I carry a rifle able to make such shots, but that’s because I prefer bolt actions; these days, lightweight ones using smaller cartridges. For most of the rest of that WMA, a lever action, even a .44, is a sound choice.
Don’t need one, but I’d like to check one out in person.
