I have one lever rifle right now. A Winchester 94 angle eject trapper, 16" barrel, .357 Magnum. I'll be parting with it soon. It's used, so I can't get much for it if I sold it, so I'm giving, yes, giving it to a friend of mine. She's really interested in shooting, and .357 Magnum is pretty docile in a rifle, but is potent enough for defense. I'll be teaching her how to use it properly, obviously, before I hand it over, and have already explained to her the saftey rules and such. (Yes, the transaction is legal and on the up-and-up.)
Anyway, before too long, I'll be buying a Marlin 336W from Wal-Mart. IMHO, it's $267 well spent. But it doesn't end there! I also want a Marlin 1895 in .45-70. They have a .444 at a local shop, but I'd really rather have the .45-70, with it's slightly bigger bore more variety in loadings. I don't hunt or reload, btw, and some may say that .45-70 is a bit much for just shooting fun, but I think 12-ga shotguns are fun to shoot, too.
I also want another Winchester 94 Trapper. This time, I want it in .45 Colt. I prefer the Marlins due to their non-springloaded triggers (if you've fired a new manufacture Winchester 94, you know what I'm talking about. The slack in the trigger just BUGs me a little) but they don't make a 16" carbine in .45 Colt, at least, they don't have one in their most recent catalog.
These three leverguns will probably satisfy me, though, I admit, there's a nearly $800 Uberti replica of an 1873 Winchester 19" barreled carbine that I just like...hehe...
I'm certain I'm not the only one here who's a big fan of leverguns! I just wish they'd start making the Winchester 95 again, and chamber it in .303 British.
