Who Else Loves Lever Guns?


Recommended Posts

Yeah, I like them alot, I guess I'm a cowboy type of guy. Single action revolvers and lever action rifles. Right now I have aMarlin 336, and two Winchesters in 30-30, a Marlin 1895 in 45/70, and a Henry .22lr. I want a Rossi .357 and a Marlin 1894 in .41 Mag. but like someone said earlier those .41's are quite pricey these days.

If Caster and JAB want to start a Henry Appreciation Society, they can sign me up. I owned two Ruger 10/22s and when I sold the last one I went looking for some strange. The first time I took that Henry H001 in my arms I knew I couldn't let it go. I can't convince myself that I want a black rifle either. Just put me in the immediate proximity of a Henry Big Boy in .357 and I'll come up with the craziest reasons and schemes to get it.

I hate you.

:wave:

Fourth from the bottom??? That's my favorite judging on looks alone. You oughta leave me that in your will.

It is an EG in 300 Savage, with a period Baush and Lomb Bal Var scope and mounts. It is one of my most accurate shooters.

:shhh: I need to update the photo, as I've added a Model 88 Winchester in 308, and a Model 39A Marlin 22 to the group.

Big fan here too!

I only have a moderate collection, common stuff really, but like y'all they just fit me. I have zero interest in black rifles, but I'd happily fill my safe with levers!

Top to bottom;

Winchester '94AE in .30-30

Marlin 1895 in .45-70

Marlin 336 in .44 mag

Henry H001 in .22

They're beginning to stack up on ya, Rob! I'd like to shoot one of those 45-70s one day. That's a fine looking rifle.

Says the owner of THE most beautiful rifles ever built......I'll trade you a few shots with it for a few with your 99 in .303 Savage!

I really wish I could find a nice 99, I don't even care what caliber (although I'd love a .250-3000)

Well put it this way. you ain't getting it back! :D It's my 'most fondled' rifle, although I still grab the Henry when I'm out & about on the farm.

I stripped it right down & gave everything a good clean & polish. It took a while to get the 50 year old grime out of the wood, but I got there in the end & re-oiled it with boiled Linseed.

I installed the Skinner peep & can happily shoot 3½" groups at 100yds all day long from the bench. I gotta say, the amount of recoil compared to a .30-30 came as quite a surprise. After 50 rounds, you really know you've been shooting.

I have a Marlin 336 that I'm very fond of. It's not one you see everyday. It is chambered in 35 Remington, instead of the usual 30-30.
