What do you guys think the best levergun is? Frank and CJ got ahold of this new Rossi, and seem to like it quite a bit. Check it out!
I wanna choot one!B&M 500 Alaskan...............................................................there
I have, they're pretty sweet.I wanna choot one!
Basically a legal shoulder fired RPG... 😁B&M 500 Alaskan
300 grain?Wish granted....a 300 at 1,600 FPS is safe in a Winchester Trapper.
45 Colt is a heavy case compared to many others. It can be done. I will do it one day soon!I will have a lever gun, prolly a 44Mag since I already have three others. If I could run 45LC at higher velocities, I’d be tempted to add another caliber to the stable.
rotating bolt, rare on a levergun... Winchester 88 is another.Its a 308 lever action Sako Finwolf.
It is one of The Best!It’s one of my best period.
Being a Sako fan, I’m looking forward to that pic, I’ve never seen one in the wild.I have one i bought years ago to hunt with while not knowing what I had found. After i found out what it was i could never take it to the woods again for fear of damaging it. Its a 308 lever action Sako Finwolf. Was only made a few years around the early 70’s. I have a picture posted in the lever gun section. Will try to find that pic and repost. It’s one of my best period.
I wonder whether Ruger has addressed and fixed that issue. From what I hear, it is caused by wear and could be fixed by hardening the particular parts. I have personally never experienced it even though I have shot thousands of rounds through a variety of Marlins, one dating back to the late 1800s.Best ??
gosh, the marlin 336 would be my choice except for the marlin jam
my gunsmith told me that every now and then one will come along and its gonna give troubleI wonder whether Ruger has addressed and fixed that issue.

I have one. Love it. Killed deer with it. Shot cowboy action with it. It shoots everything from full house 357 mag to mouse fart 38 spl.I'd love to find an 1894 in 357. Pre-safety of course
A browning BLR in .300 short mag??? You don't see those every day. That's my kind of odd. -CJI don’t have enough experience with them to make an argument for best lever gun. However, favorite of mine is either my browning lever rifle in .300wsm or marlin 1895 45-70. They sure kick all right but nice smooth actions and really put together well.
Picked up a new Henry .357mag last year and it’s sure fun to shoot! Compared to the others, I love the lack of recoil!
Really want to get something in .44mag or 45 Colt.
heavy trigger that no one can adjust... ruined a fantastic levergun design!A browning BLR...
I wouldn't be afraid to use this data in a Marlin 1894 or a Henry rifle. The velocities are for a 12" pistol barrel. I'd guess adding 200 fps to them in a rifle would be about right.I will have a lever gun, prolly a 44Mag since I already have three others. If I could run 45LC at higher velocities, I’d be tempted to add another caliber to the stable.
I like the blr alsoA browning BLR in .300 short mag??? You don't see those every day. That's my kind of odd. -CJ

I’ll check my .300 WSM tomorrow and report back. I never messed with it. Curious now to see what the pull is. I never seemed to notice but I don’t shoot it too often.I beg to differ. It can be done. I have a BL-22 that has a wonderful trigger. I think it’s a crisp 3 lbs or so now. I’ll have to pull it out and measure it again. it took someone smarter than me to make it happen. And it was a little bit of an adventure, but it is sweet.
Just messed with it. Averages just under 3 lbs. There was a guy on Rimfire Central that sold a spring kit and had detailed instruction on how to work on it. I also have a BLR in 6.5 Creedmor that I have not messed with. That one is about 5 lbs stock. Not as bad as I expected. I won‘t ask my buddy to try that one, it could be better, but it doesn’t really make a huge impact so I’ll leave it alone.
It’s slick with the nickel finished receiver. Got it as a gift from my father in law. He has a real knack for unique finds. This one I’ll hang on to for a long time.A browning BLR in .300 short mag??? You don't see those every day. That's my kind of odd. -CJ
