The Lever Aficionados Thread

[mudgripz]

Absolutely delightful - be very happy to have any one of them in my closet.

No photos but I've had I think half a dozen levers - might be more. Two winchester 94s in 30-30 - brilliant little bush rifles; two winchester 9422 XTRs - one in 22LR and one in 22WMR; and a Ruger model 96 in 22LR. Great little rifles with alot of character. Winchester 94 30-30s were 1964 and 1989 (I think) - great little hunters esp for northern conditions. Everyone has to own a 94 at some time or a Marlin 336 - also a real favourite. Winchester 9422 XTRs very well made and a delight to use. The Ruger 96 a real sleeper - a very fine little hunter with no real weaknesses.

Also owned a Henry HOO1 lever in 22LR but while it possessed a very smooth action it was a poor shooter. First few rounds good then sprayed them everywhere - heat distortion due to too thin barrel. Went straight back to shop.

This lever thread will wear out the 'like' button.
