think im gonna have to get a lever gun. im leaning towards an 1873 anybody have any suggestions?
 
What for? I am a pretty big fan of lever guns. I love the Marlins for a tough big bore. The lever revolution soft points really add range to lever guns.
 
I don't really have a what for so to speak I just want one so I have a rifle to go with my 1873 uberti. just because.
 
I have decided to get this one to serve as a deer gun :D

It's the Winchester's Model 94 Trails End Takedown, i tried shooting one in 450 Marlin two weeks ago and i had a blast, but i think i will go with the 30.30, i don't want to blow the deers to pieces.
 
that's a great lookin rifle I may have to consider that. I think im gonna go for .45 LC
 
Good on ya Beef!!! Levers have been one of my favorite type for all of my years. If your hunting I agree with what was said about the Pre-Remington, Marlin 336, or the Pre-Japan Winchester 1894. I prefer the top eject over the angle eject but that one of those prefs. BUT BUT BUT, if your looking a lever to just shoot and enjoy along with the .45 type revolvers than a.45 in a Uberti or Cimarron. Got a couple friends that are into SASS shooting and love them.

Oh yea, what MULDER said:thumbup:Dude if you want a Bang stick get the .500
.500 S&W

im lookin for something traditional I think. and I know I want it in .45
 
I have a newer marlin 1894c in .357/.38 special, to match my revolver, I put some peep sights and a big loop lever on it. So far about 300 rounds through it, not a single problem

Only pic I have uploaded at the moment.

And the revolver. Been thinking about a single action though

nice!
 
Any time I think of lever action rifles, I think of that old western show "The Rifleman" with Chuck Connors. Mainly the intro scene of him popping off rounds. Am I the only one?
 
I have Winchesters, Marlins, and Henrys. The best shooting and handling rifles are my pre-Japan Winchester 94 in 45LC and my pre-64 Winchester 94 in 30-30. The smoothest actions are by far the Henrys. But you can't beat the power and pleasure of shooting a marlin gbl in 45-70. If you want a lever gun in 45LC, I would definitely go with the Winchester 94. Ubertis and Cimarrons are nice shooting rifles after they have had an expensive visit to a good gunsmith.
 
My Marlin Guide Gun 45 70 is one of my favorite rifles. It'll take down anything in North America. But that being said, I'm still a big fan of the 30 30 lever action. Had a Marlin 30 30 at one time and it was just plain fun to shoot. Great deer rifle ta boot.
 
I have a Marlin .444 :D

You get the cowboy feel in a modern cannon caliber. Its almost $2 a shot, but follow up shots are not really necessary.
 
Winchester Big Bore 94 in 375 Winchester. Easy shooting gun with good deer slayin power.
