Okay... I will be doing some extensive lever action hunting this year and am all fired up.... for some reason I get more out of harvesting an animal with an old lever action... Lets see pictures of your harvest, no matter what the game, to get us anxious for hunting this year!!! Ill start... here is a memorable hunt for me and my 100 year + Savage 1899 30-30.... pics of your lever action are great too!

Great pic! Great looking rifle also. What is the story behind the rifle?

Love the Savage 99. Have always wanted one. Had a Browning BLR in 270 for several years. Just inherited my grandmother's Marlin 336. Will use it this season.

we have a model 88 in .243 that sits in the safe. I don't think we have ever used it.

although a model 88 isn't exactly nostalgic

Marlins & Savage here!

Look close at my sig picture! That's a one owner(me)Savage 99CD!

I've got an old savage in the safe very similar to that, it has the last year of manufacture July 1911 stamped on the barrel, chambered in 250-3000 great old rifle, hasn't been fired in years. It belonged to my great aunt,was passed to my dad,then to me, will be handed down to my sons.

Marlins here, the little Marlin 1894 in 357Mag is the most often used truck gun and gets a lot of hunting time for deer and hogs as well.

Great looking old Savage on the OP

Hog with my little marlin 1894c in 357...

This will be the primary rifle I hunt with on my Blanco lease this year, at least that is the current plan...

I love a savage model 99! A guy I know bought one cheap off a guy that needed the cash, gave him 150 bucks for a 99 chambered in 300 savage, was in really good shape. I offered considerably more than he paid for it he said he would think about it but probably no... that was 3 years ago and he has never fired it.

Occasionally, I'll dust off a Marlin 1893 30-30 with octagonal barrel that was handed down from great-grandfather. Front site had been knocked off at some point and replaced with part of a buffalo-head nickel.

Something about racking that lever-action and hunting with open sights that really gets my blood pumping.

Here is a turkey I shot with my Marlin 44 mag lever gun at 260 yards with 240 grain XTP. I was checking feeders and I crested a hill at my brothers feeder and saw a ton of turkeys. I stopped and rested out over the hood of the truck. The first round struck at the birds feet. The second round I added a little more elevation, and a touch of lead on a moving bird, and dropped it in it's tracks. I have taken many of pigs with this same gun and ammo. I love my lever gun! I only scoped it (Weaver 1-3 power) so I could night hunt pigs from a bow stand with a scope mounted light.

Think we have talked about that gun before on here. My 357 is the same version Marlin. Amazing how accurate these guns are.

okay.. my blood is boiling!!!! here are three more of my lever actions!!!! these have not taken animals yet!! I plan on taking game with each..

winchester 30/30


Rossi .357


Marlin .22LR

I love the look of that long barrel especially being octagon!!!! What is it by the way?

I'm mainly posting to have this marked because I plan on gettin some blood on my open sight model 94 this year as well as seeing this thread grow!!

45-60 1876 Winchester reproduction by Chaparral 28" barrel cool rifles.. Uberti still makes them

Occasionally I still get my grandfather's Win 94 out and use it. Always does its job if I do mine. No pics of it, but I will have to remedy that.

I've got a 60 year old model 94 with a peep sight and a 336 in .35 Remington with a scope.

Winchester 1994

1894 sorry

My wife's grandfather gave us his Winchester Model 88 in 243. That thing is an absolute tack driver. Between it and my Rem 600 it's hard to choose

I have a 20 week old Browning BLR (stainless, 308win).

*cough* haven't fired it yet *cough*

Pictures fellas... I want to see em!!!

Sorry no pics, but have a Marlin 30AS brush gun that has taken many a deer. Like many, I tend to pull the old gal out of the safe every year and let the boys fight over the bolt actions. Easy carry, spot on and fun as heck to shoot, especially when spot and stalk. She has her battle scars, and is the one rifle I let her proudly display!
