Lever Guns

[Shemp]

I'll admit I have a secret level gun fetish. Anybody else?

I kind of want another one in either 45-70 or 450 Marlin....I just can't really think of a practical use fo rone. I guess maybe hog hunting....or home defense.

Anyone hunt with a big bore lever gun?

 

[Laufen]

Yeah, Winchester 1886's, and 92's. Marlin, not really, They just aren't as slick and greasy feeling to me. The Henry and Browning lever action 22's are great as well.

I used to hunt with a Marlin 444P Guide gun in Nebraska. It put a wallop on big Midwestern whitetails.

I'm partial to Marlin since that's what I grew up idolizing since my dad had one...but the modern Marlins are disappointing to say the least.

I looked at the Henry 45-70 but I don't know how I feel about that big goofy tube feed mechanism.

I have a Rossi 92 with a 16" barrel in .357/.38. Lots of fun. Almost feels like a toy it's so small.

Heck yeah. I got a 94 pre 64.

I love my 94. It was the first center fire rifle I ever owned. My grandpa gave it to me when I was about 11-12 for hunting at his house. I still love to shoot it. I won't get rid of it until it's time for me to pass it down. I'd like to know exactly how old it is.

Thanks. I beat the crap out of it when I was a kid dragging it through the woods. Also got some surface rust on the receiver because I didn't take care of it very well.

1972.

Hey that is what it was meant for! Memory scratches!

And THAT'S what 'Murica is all about.

Love the generational firearm thing. My dad gave my boys .22's that were hand me downs when they were 9 or 10. He even beat me to it. Love it when firearms are passed from one generation to the next! Especially when grandpas are involved!

You guys are really making me want another. I currently have my dad's Marlin 336 from the late 70S he gave Me.

I love lever guns.

I am currently without any sort of lever action. I had a Marlin Guide Gun in .45-70 but sold it to my Dad. I reloaded for it, enjoyed shooting it, but I couldn't for the life of me find a reason to keep it. And Dad really liked it... so away it went.

Marlin guide 45 70, fun as hell to shoot. Roll my own rounds
