Lever Action Hunters

[RedRidge]

This my WWG Alaskan Co-Pilot in 45-70. It will also shoot .457 and 2.5” .410 shotgun shells. She’s got a 16.25” barrel and has a Kevlar stock and foreend. View attachment 171826

I have all bases covered when it comes to levers. I have fallen in love with these guns. I just picked up my latest one yesterday. 22 caliber Henry silver eagle. She is a beauty. It will be my squirrel and plinking gun.




I have a henry golden boy 357. As soon as I move from the restrictive state I live in, I hope to hunt deer with it. Standard sights on it for now but I will put a skinner on it for hunting. For now though, we have a ball shooting steel plates as fast as possible.

Then there is my Marlin 45/70 guide gun. Maybe hunt bear with that one some day. Being a reloader this can be particularly fun to shoot. Using a 405 grain bullet, I can load up some shoulder busters for fun or plinking loads for all day shooting.

I find these guns way more fun than an AR. Can't tell you why, but I love them.

I knew I was in trouble when I realized my office is about 15 minutes away from them. Lol

I have the medium lever, cloverleaf sights, trigger, and loading gate. All are easy to install and very well made. Now if I can just come up with the coin to send it to Clements Custom Guns for a cut to an outfitter length barrel and a nice action job it’ll be done.

I too love lever actions, both Winchester and marlin. I started hunting with a marlin 30-30 at age twelve and have taken over 10 white tails with that same gun. There is nostalgia there, no doubt.

I have 3 Marlin 1895's, all B0 serial number, so the first year of reintroduction in 1972. Love the 45-70, I usually hunt with a Ruger #1 in 45-70, don't need more than one shot.

Savage model 99 EG in .300 sav. I sold this gun a few years ago to pay for some truck repairs & I regret it severely. Hands down the most beautiful, least accurate rifle I've ever owned.

As much as I love lever actions, I’m ashamed to say that I don’t have very many of them. Of course that’s always subject to change.

From right to left:

Henry .22 that’s only a few years old.

Winchester model 94, 30-30 carbine circa 1954.

Winchester model 1873, .32WCF octagon barrel circa 1893.

Winchester model 1894, .30WCF circa 1899.

Oh, and of course no gun safe would be complete without the trusty ‘ol Daisy Red Ryder BB gun, circa Christmas 1978.

View attachment 229069Killed my first bull with a Marlin 30-30.

This is awesome. Good to see that the myth of needing a 3k howitzer to kill elk has been busted. Excellent job man.

Not mine (unfortunately) but one of my favorite people's, favorite elk rifles. Winchester 1895 in .30-03 (yep, the original thirty government) He has its twin in .30-40 Krag & I'd trade a measurable percentage of my credit score for either of 'em.......

Thanks! I’ve taken more game with that rifle than anything else I own.

I shot that bull twice. Once while he was standing, and the second in his neck on the run. He fell immediately after the neck shot. I couldn’t have done it with a bolt action, or a conventional scope setup.

Glad I stumbled onto this thread. My go to whitetail gun is an old Marlin 336, 30-30. It's like an old friend.

Well I decided this season to get the new siblings aquainted. Figured since their step Brothers now and all.

I always carry a levergun or a falling block, lever operated rifle.
I dissent about the 30/30 however, it is responsible for alot of wounding in the old days.
These days the 30/30 can perform pretty well with modern components.
I would like to pick up a Miroku 1895/ .270 win. Rare as hen's teeth though.

This guy came running in behind me yesterday then finally slowed down for a split second and gave me time to get a shot off.
