Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Lever Guns...What do you like?

I heard ya! That Browning in the picture is my second one. Like an idiot, I sold the first one I had, that was just like it, in the late 70's. I killed my first few deer with that BLR. I realized how much I liked it and when I found a second one I bought it. This one has found a home until I give up the ghost.

Have a herd and like sandbagging.

Hint...………………..

Me neither,it's too small.

Holy Smokin Moses !!! -- who's the ugly guy ?


Not nice to call his moose ugly! LOL!

For deer hunting, my Savage 99 in 300 Savage. For plinking, the Browning BL22 my dad gave me for Christmas when I was 12. For anything bigger, the first year deluxe model 71.

Ummm. I love that one! ^^^^


I'm a sucker for a .35 Rem or a 45-70. Both are usually available most of the time where I shop.

Savage 99 in .308 makes for a truly great big game rifle.

This thread got my lever gun interest sparked. The only lever centerfire I have is a Mossberg 464 30-30 . It s a pistol grip walnut stocked and blue gun. I traded for it about three or four years ago and never got it out of the safe. Last year, a neighbor sold me an old Leupold 2.5x compact. I installed it on the Mossberg right away. Fast forward to this week, I got the rifle out with a box of 150 grain Federal ammo and sighted it in. The old scope did surprisingly well responding to adjustments (I didn’t have to tap it with a hammer after each turn or anything) Damn, that’s a sweet little handling and shooting rifle . The trigger isn’t too bad ,not great however but plenty good for a brush /timber gun .It’s perfect for the front seat of the truck too while checking fences or whatever . I want a 44 or 45 bore lever gun now.

My lever collection is small two Marlin 45-70's a Cowboy model and the standard 20" barrel model. I have another Marlin 1894 in 44 Mag and a BLR in 358 Winchester. For pure fun I like the 44 Mag loaded with cast lead bullets fairly economical to shoot.

My aunt & uncle bought me one of the last pre-safety Model 94s they made for me for my 16th birthday. Shot my first deer with it as well as my first coyote. Love the 30-30 cartridge as a do it all.

I saw a Model 71 in a LGS the other day. Damn. 22lr is more my style these days and would get a lot more use, although we can now shoot straight walled CFs in lower Michigan while deer hunting so a 44 Mag would get used too.

An awful lotta lever-type eye candy here in this thread thanks for starting it Beav!

Things that make ya go hmmmm...

Don't feel bad, same boat .

Browning BLR in 308!

Lot of talk about Marlin 39's and well there should be. But don't overlook the Henry .22's. They're pretty sweet too!

The Henry is a steaming pile of fhuqking schit(understatement). hint.

I've only got (3) 39's.
