In the. What's your favorite rifle thread, I saw a lot of lever guns. So that's why I'm asking.

Levers are fun, and can be useful. Bolts can be useful. For me, all around... semi-autos make the most sense, most of the time.

Hunting = bolt
Defense = semi auto
Playing around = all the above and then some

Not really a fair question. A shot range carbine is always going to be a semi. longer than about 300 yds bolts come to the forefront.
I tend to shoot long range so I guess I favor a bolt. I see the question as a one or the other not which is better.

I own one bolt action(Rem721), and one lever gun(Savage 99)
Everything else, even the shotguns are semi auto.

It all depends on the need. Hunting, bolt (8mm Mauser or .308). Defense, semi-auto or pump 12 ga. For plinking and fun, all.

I like shooting 22's more than anything else.
The pump 22's are one of the guns I like shooting the most.
I have more of them than any other.
Lever 22's are a close second.

I use mostly bolt rifles for hunting because they are the most accurate that I have.
I do have levers and semis but they are mostly for fun
