Re: What is your favorite lever action rifle?
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)

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.
