Lever Actions

[knockonit]

grew up with them, and have a gaggle of them, mostly old winnies, and actually half dozen or more Marlins, some old, some not so old, try to shoot one or two a month, just cause, the 45.70 is my fav, it is loaded down some, but when that big boy hits the gong, its like the liberty bell sounding off.
enjoy the lever, or get out.

45-70 is also my favorite. I have a first year Marlin 1895 in 4570 with a shortened 16" barrel. My favorite is my 1886 Winchester's. You know your holding something with those. Everyone that shoots my 45-70s falls in love and wants one. When I'm out traveling the Marlin 1895 is my companion. Figure it's legal anywhere. 45-70 will dispatch about anything I shoot at and it's reliability is top notch.

I’ve been wanting two that you guys have mentioned. Another 1886, and one of the little trapper takedown 1892. I do dislike the safety and the rebounding hammer. But, like you said. I just push mine into fire and leave it there

If you hunt on horseback, you can’t beat the slender shape of a lever action. I’ve got a Glenfield 30 with the partial length mag tube, its an extremely handy little rifle.
