Looking for 308 lever action - Marlin or Henry Ideally


Recommended Posts

So, all I ever remember Marlin making in a lever gun in .308 was something called 308 Marlin Express, not a regular 308 Winchester and from a quick look online, not easy to find. Browning made the BLR, a sweet lever 308 that Henry basically copied. Good luck in your hunt!

The .308 cartridge is not compatible with the traditional tube magazine lever gun. Bad idea to have pointed bullets sitting on the primer of the round in front of it.

You need a lever gun with a box magazine. The mentioned Browning BLR  will work. Also the  Savage 99  and Winchester 1895.  All of these guns are quite expensive these days. 

Edit: Just checked and Henry does make a box magazine .308 lever gun. The Long Ranger. MSRP is $1066. 🙄

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback.  I hadn’t heard of the browning.  Good to know about that.  

The Henry is called the Lone Ranger I believe.

Price Range, as everyone mentioned, nothing is cheap rn but I’m aware of that.   The price on the Henry is fine, just can’t find any.   I’ve gut a marlin 45-70 that works great but was trying to find something in 308. 

Samiam, thanks for the offer, not sure about that caliber but I’ll consider it in my thinking.
