Best levers?

WV Gunner,

In the OP you speak of a musket and a win 1895, both in 7.62x54. Did you mean x51 (308 win?)

I ask because either of those guns in the x54(R) would be intriguing.

The Winchester and Browning leverguns made by Miroku are probably among the finest ever produced. I don't care where they're made, they're fine rifles.

I love my Miroku Winchester 1892 sporter. Great fit and finish. The only other lever gun I want is a Turnbull 1886 in 45-70.
 
Have a 92 Win in 44-40 mgf date 1895, 2 BLRs in 270 & 308 and just bought a Win M88 in 284 Winchester.
 
Yeah, you know, my .450/348 Win Ackley Improved reamer is just sitting there, brand new in the tube from PTG, waiting for me to get a levergun and put it together.

Someday....
 
Best was probably the Winchester 88. The
Sako was probably good too but it's more an oddity, never even seen one.
 
Clark- You do realize the #1 is not a lever action rifle?

I have a couple of lever guns that span a couple of genres. I have the traditional Winchester M94...

Had an itch for a 99 and bagged this one not too long ago. The caliber is obsolete (so the rifle was cheap) but the 303 Savage is a cinch to load your own as brass is readily available.

This makes a fairly powerful compact package...

Winchester made about 300,000 M1895s in 7.62x54R for the Imperial Russian Army during the first half of the First World War. They had guides milled into the receivers to accept charging clips.

Supposedly all of them were delivered to Russia, which is probably why they're kind of rare.
 
An older Marlin 336 is a lot better than the newer ones, they can be found all day for $300 and you would not be disappointed in the quality of those rifles. I own one in .35 rem that I absolutely love.

Same here on the older Marlin in 35 Remington, this one's a 2007.
