Lever action rifles

[CJD3]

And speaking of Ralphie…
(*** semi spoiler )I’ve had the “part 2” to Christmas story. (A Christmas Story Christmas) I held off watching it thinking it would be like most part 2’s and be disappointing.

I was wrong. . .

The two key gut punches were a deep love for the first movie and loosing your Dad. Many of the original cast was included and the flash backs from Ralphie were great.

So…

how about those Lever action rifles.

Someone say lever action? My BIL just bought these this week. Pre-1964 .32 SP on too, post 1964 (smoother action) .30-.30 on the bottom. $1,600 for both.

While we are fond of the brass tradition begun by B.T. Henry’s 1860 rifle, we do understand that today’s hunter may prefer something a shade lighter on the mountain, and the Big Boy Steel Side Gate carries on the same brush gun appeal of the brass-framed Big Boys in its overall configuration...

Which calibers will you be securing?
Which of those do you have in a revolver?

@Dustinb80
You're gonna love it! I owned one and shot a doe with it.
It carried, handled and kicked like a youth model rifle. By that I mean, it was a pleasure to have in the woods. Low recoil, but it got the job done. Very easy to handle in the woods to swing and shoot. I used my mild reloads and it was very accurate and a pleasure to shoot all day.

On this day, I was in a tree stand, it started a light rain and I held my Henry close to keep it dry. I thought to myself, it's going to be quiet, I'll have to keep my head on a swivel or the deer will walk right by me. I immediately looked to my right as this doe was walking by. I shouldered my Henry 44 Mag, aimed behind the front leg and squeezed the trigger. She bucked and ran about 30 yards.

Good call on the .44mag. Thatd get my vote!

If I was buying a new lever gun to hunt in ohio it would probably be a Henry. The new Ruger Marlins seem great I’d have a hard time justifying price over Henry. I however do share Joe’s issues with Henry co-opting the original company’s heritage (Winchester has a more legit claim)but not to the point of boycotting them.

I personally favor Winchesters but scoping them is an issue. Marlins are much better to scope so a pre-Remington Marlin would be high on my list. Remington Marlin are hit and miss but most are OK.

I really want one of the Uberti/Cimarron clones of a ‘66 or ‘73 just haven’t been able to justify the $$.

My only lever gun is a Winchester big bore 94 .375, I bought it before Ohio’s law changed so it was more reasonably priced than now.But I prefer to hunt with a scoped gun.

 

[Bowhunter57]

All this lever-action rifle talk has me stirred up and looking for one.
I found a Cimarron Deluxe in 38-55, new in the box for $1170.
