    Mines the Marlin 1894 Cowboy ( i have it in the 357)





    [​IMG]

    With their tapered octagon barrels, these rifles offer true cowboy-rifle heft and aesthetics for everyone from the die-hard Cowboy Action Shooter to the hunter who appreciates 19th century-style firearms. The Model 1894 Cowboy has a 20" barrel and is chambered for 45 Long Colt, 44 Remington Mag/44 Special and 357 Mag/38 Special. Also, featuring traditional Ballard-style rifling, handsome American black walnut stock and fore-end, and richly blued finish.

    I really like the Savage Model 99 Levers. They can be had up to .308 cal, which was my favorite.

    I have a 1936 Marlin 30-30 lever action that was my father-in-laws. It's longer than the Winchester 30-30 saddle gun that is so common. I love it for deer hunting in Western Oregon. Nice long barrel, good open sites. More accurate than my Winchester and not much heavier.

    That Marlin 1894 Cowboy is awesome.

    It would go well with my S&W .357. :)

    I might have to get one now...

    I've lost count....
    .45-70 Govt kicks ass.

    I recently bought a TC Encore in .45-70 and instantly fell in love with that caliber. I took it out hunting this year and shot a deer with it....lets just say it hits them hard and they go down fast. There was less meat damage using a .45-70 300 gr. hollow point than what I normally see when using either my .30-06 or .270 on deer. It was pretty much the same as hitting them with my .50 cal muzzleloader....reloading is just a lot quicker :D. I can't wait to dial up some custom hand loads for it!!

    For comparison, left to right: .223, 7.62, and .45-70 Govt:
    P3280333_1be1f62ce2272148ca2ebe30d96bf372508d5ca4.jpg

    Not a lever action, but here is my TC Encore in .45-70 Govt:
    PC190479_a1d6a6bfb76232a6894aafa3c94e59519a062abf.jpg


    ...And to get this post back on track my favorite lever-action is a tie between my Grandfather's .30-30 Marlin and my Dad's .35 Remington Marlin :)
