Dang I love lever guns

This seems an appropriate first post since it is lever gun research which brought me to TFL.

My first lever gun:

I like guns that go bang, and a Marlin 1895GBL will certainly do that. Those Winchesters sure are pretty, hope I can hang on to my mortgage payment.

I picked a new 1895 CB (the short barrel) 45-70 about a year and a half ago. It's been a lot of fun, it hits the target where I aim, and has worked perfectly. After many factory rounds of ammo, and lot's of reloads, I'm certainly happy I reload these 45/70s. They can get expensive, but they really have the bang.
 
I have had a Winchester 9422 for years, and recently I picked up a 9417 in .17HMR. I didn't even know Winchester made a lever action in .17HMR until I saw this one.
 
I am so attached to Levers that I own 7.
1. 1980 Browning BL-22
2. 2018 Browning Micro Midas BL-22
3. 2018 Henry Golden Boy
4. 2018 Henry Small Game Rifle
5. 2018 Winchester 1892 44 Mag
6. 1978 Winchester 9422 XTR
7. 1955 Marlin 39A Mountie

I shoot my rifles on a rotation basis daily almost. None of them can compare to the Winchester 9422. That one is just amazing to shoot.
 
My first gun was a Marlin 1897 for my birthday in 1955. I was given a choice of
three 22 rifles and what kid in 55 wouldn't pick the cowboy gun? I've got about
a dozen Wins & Marlins and one Savage 99. All are older models. I don't buy the
new stuff, replicas or imports.
