lever guns
i recently read the G&A article on the new . 308 marlin special that was designed to give lever guns longer than 200 yrd performance.
one of the points that they made in the article is that the relatively short action of lever guns limits the types of rounds they are chambered in. . . . well my hypothesis/sugestion; with the introduction of the new hornaday lererevolution rounds at there helm, why doesn't someone chamber a lever gun in the short or super short magnums that are flooding the scene now? is this possible or is the action to week?
another hypothesis . .. why not chamber a lever gun in.500 S&W or the newer .460XVR. they would make great brush guns out to 100 yards pluss?
i work in a prison so i have alot of time to think . . .this is the stuff i come up with [:D]

This guy has several lever guns for sale. this one caught my eye, going in a few minutes. I have no idea if it's worth it, but it's pretty.

Anybody looking for any lever guns, I have a few and trying to decide which ones to put on here, as with my last auction they'll be penny start and no reserve if I put them up.
first one is a 1979 or 1980 winchester 22 magnum lever action. This one is a collector, probably 99%, blue is perfect, front wood is perfect, some really minor mars on the back stock, will see what kind of pics I can get.
scnd one is a winchester 94AE 44 magnum this one is the 16" barrel length, very handy little rifle, shoots good, no rust, does have a few scratches on the mag tube and some heavier marks in the stock. I'd call it a good clean shooter, not a collector.
then I have a couple marlin 336's in 35 remington, full length. one is a safe queen almost perfect, the other is extremely rough but shoots good.
let me know if anybody is particularly interested, might motivate me to try and get them listed sooner.,0 -

That is one of the things on my "Got to Get" list. I was given a Savage 99 in .358 Winchester for my "Joining the Navy" present from my mom's uncle. Unfortunately, I hadn't heard the "popping noise" yet (me pulling my head out of my @$$) and I traded it for a new Howa 30-06 with a Burris scope. I was an idiot. [V] 0 -

I love mine! Almost 40 years old and shows some wear but puts up one inch groups. Also, 3 one shot deer kills. 0 -
Sadly I have none.[:(] 0 -
If a falling-block action counts as a lever gun, I own one, but haven't seen it yet. I'm still trying to get that sucker imported.
But I've come to the conclusion that I really need a couple lever-actions, just because.0 -
This is the only one I have now. It's a Marlin 39 Article II .22. I've got a Marlin 1894SS .44 Mag coming that was supposed to be here the first week in July. Maybe by Christmas. [:D]0 -

You're right. There's plenty of time to figure out why you need them after you get them. [:D]0 -
I forgot one I have an old Marlin 30-30 that my grandpa gave me. It is in my safe in my parents basement. 0
