Snapped this shot before moving to my safe. Couple of 94/22s, some Marlin 39s and 60s and MXs, rest are mostly 94s.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting.......holy kaka.....What a Ride!

Very nice. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a 308 lever gun. The marking 39's are awesome little rifles

Those stainless/laminate guns sure are purdy! I had one in 45-70. Should not have let that one go.

I love leverguns. I have a guide gun and henry golden boy, and a Winchester 1895 is on my wish list.

I missed a really good deal on a 308 a couple of years ago, because I didn't know what it was. I've had regrets ever since.

I'm trying to talk myself into only taking one of my lever guns with me opening weekend. Probably the Marlin .35 Remington. It's hard not to pick up the .270 Bolt action since I have so much more confidence with it.

Really nice collection!

I have always been a fan of the Model 94 Big Bores in 307, 356, 375, and 444. Pretty much just settled on the 356 as the best all around lever gun caliber for me though. It costs more to feed now than me though so it don't see much action.

Here it is last year doing some pig popping. NEVER had one take a step after being hit with it. I cant say that about any other caliber I have used and God knows I have used some big ones!

Very nice guns! I only have 3, a Win 94 in 30-30, Henry .22 and a Browning BLR in .308. I think every man ought to have at least one. I mean heck, they tamed the west, lol. Arguably speaking of course...

I am a lefty, so always like levers for their ambidextrous nature. I have a 80s BLR in 358 I love. I also have a couple winne 95s (30 gov, and 405) 4 94s I Inherited over the years, a cool Marlin 32-20, a custom Grizzly arms 356 win built on a Marlin, 2 Winchester 94/22, and a a cool new Chippa take down 1886 that is hard crome and I have not shot once she'll out of it....I'd like to try that out soon.

The only lever gun I have at the moment is a Rossi .357 trapper in stainless. It's such a neat carbine that handles well both stalking and riding an atv.

I've only got two lever guns; I feel like such an amateur.

Ive had this 39m carbine for 33 years and I killed my favorite buck with a Glenfield 30-30


Recently got a gym membership, strange folks! I like to show up the roid zombies with my full motion curls with the 55lb. bells. Not their cheater short stroked light weights. It's holarious.

Is that some masking tape barrel bands I see on the right hand side? What are you going to use to finish it?

Always good to see the levergun nuts show up.

Lever lover myself; most of the Marlins from 218 Bee through the 44 & 45 caliber big bores. Also enjoy the Rossi 92s; all of them from the 357 Mag through 480 Ruger, except the 44-40 Win. Have three Rossi Rio Grandes as well; 30-30 Win, 45-70 Govt., and had another 30-30 rebore/rechambered to 38-55 Win by JES.

I don't know if I really have a favorite as I like them all. I have enough hog hunting here on the ranch that I live on that I can keep them all exercised. They are all fed by cast bullets.

I have sold a couple of Marlins over the last few years at a point that the prices where peaking. A 336SC in 219 Zipper, personally while varmint hunting I would rather use the 1894CL in 25-20 Win or 32-20 Win. Also a 336ER in 356 Win. It, like the 219 Zipper had just gotten too valuable for me to be dragging through the brush. Once I start leaving them behind, that is it. I also sold a 444P to a friend, he wouldn't leave me alone about it but I have two others. Also sold a 1895MR, that is the 450 Marlin full size rifle. I used it on nilgai hunts but honestly, with the distance you have to put in on those critters the rifle was just too heavy. My Rossi RG4570 fills that place very nice being almost 2 pounds lighter than the 1895MR.

That never became more obvious to me than it did last week when I took the wife to Yellowstone. We flew into Salt Lake and made the drive through a lot of area that was once wilderness. I even commented to her how a repeating firearm was once a man's best friend in those parts.
