My favorite lever action is the Uberti made replica of the 1873 Rifle, charcoal blued 24 " octogonal barrel in 38/40 WCF , Yum!

I am not a big fan of cowboy type firearms but after getting a Bisley in 38/40 WCF, I bought a Cattleman and the above 1873 Rifle.

all that started because I am a fan of 10 mm caliber ammo and it is nice to have only 2 bullet types to reload for a dozen handguns such as Bren Ten, S&W 610 Revolver ( my IPSC favorite ) Colts and Glocks plus the .40 firearms.

I am considering going into CAS, Cowboy Action Shooting, still have to find a Winchester 1887 lever action shotgun, seems that both the australian and the chinese replicas did not take off.

Tough question! I guess my favorite must be my '65 Spencer rifle but my 95 Savage will still put 'em in one hole (well, not all of 'em) at 100 yards.

I like the winchester 94, the marlin 336, the marlin 444, the marlin 1895, the winchester 71, the winchester 64, and the Savage 99. I guess i am just a lever kind of guy! .

Marlin M1894 in .44 Mag. Good shooter, handles well, and a good partner for the Super Blackhawk. Great for deer hunting or just keeping behind the seat of the pickup (where legal) (obviously not here)

I am primarily a bolt action man and only have a few levers.

Marlin 336-1895-.45-70-early 70s issue

Sako Finnwolf-.308

BLR-Belgian 1971-.308

Marlin 336-.44 Mag.-not an errror-"Texan" style

Marlin 1894 CS-pre-safety-.357 Mag.

Browning 1886SRC-.45-70

Sold

Savage 99TD-.30-30

Savage 99FWT-.308

Win. 88-pre-64-.308

Marlin 1894CS-pre-safety-.357 Mag.

Marlin 39A Golden-.22

Win, 71-.348-1946 issue

Shot 'em all and my favourite is the Browning 1886SRC, one of the finest guns of any type I have ever owned; I own a mint Mannlicher-Schoenauer, Brnos in the 21-22 series and ZG-47s, a Dakota 76, a Merkel drilling and scads of per-64 70s, so, this should say something about that terrific little gun. I have another 71, a Browning located for purchase soon.
