I’ll get this started.
Mine is the Savage 99 because it can use pointed bullets unlike the lever guns with tubular magazines. The rotating magazine is also a brilliant design taken from Mannlicher and used for decades until it got too expensive to manufacture and Savage switched to a box magazine. That’s why I am only interested in the older ones with the rotating magazine with round counter on the side.
What’s your favorite and why?
.
Ever heard of Hornady LeverEvolution?, All leverguns can shoot pointed bullets now.
I would love to get a nice 99 in .300 Savage.
For now, I’ve got 3 Marlins…a .44 mag, .357 mag, and .35 Rem.
Love those!
I prefer the Marlin 336. I have a 52’ 336RC, 57’-58’ 336RC and my main one is a 2006 336C
My favorite was chosen long before LeverEvolution ammo came out.
Do you actually have any lever gun that is your favorite?
…
I only have one, so that’s easy. It’s an old Winchester '94 30-30. It was the first gun my Dad gave me when I was a kid. It’s always been a great shooter. To me it’s one of those cherished items.
The Winchester 1895. I have a .405, 35 WCF and a 30-06, keeping my eyes open for a 30-40 at a good price.
I just love lever guns! A Marlin 336W in 30-30, 357 Mag in a '94 CBL
two Win '94’s 30-30, 45 LC and a Rossi Puma '92 in 454 Casull !
My favorite lever gun? This 1894 takedown in 30 w.c.f.
I have always liked the Winchester Pre-64 Mod. 94s in 30-30 its a true classic, light, short, somewhat accurate, very durable. its just something about the old leaver guns…
Mine would have to be my Marlin 336 in 35 Remington.
My Marlin 336 Texan .30-30. But it’s close with the 18" slicked up 1894 .44 mag.
Marlin 336 in 30-30 is my only lever gun to date so I would have to say it is my favorite.
I “inherited”(read liberated) it from my Dad. It’s a late 50’s model.
Winchester Model 71 in a carbine w/ bolt peep…supergrade would be nice too. Wicked round.
I love the marlin guide gun in .45-70.
This would be my number 2 choice, as well as a Marlin 1894 in .357 Magnum for #3.
Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70.
I guess they are technically “lever actions” though not a repeater.
Martini-Henry short rifle in .303 and carbine in .450-577.
Haven’t shot the .303 yet, but the carbine will rock your world.
They’re usually referred to as a falling block action, but close enough I guess.
