If i could buy one Mine would be a 1894 take down in 30 or 33wcf. I have a pre safety marlin 39a from the 50s that I love not the oldest but it goes where I go.

50/120! That would be sweet! I also like those 1866 yellow boys but I would have to hit the lottery to be able to afford it.

The original lever action, A Volcanic Arms rifle, I think they were in either (or maybe both) 41 and/or 44 caliber rimfire.

Waggler the volcanic used a self contained round where the powder was actually inside the bullet itself the rim fire round came around in the Henry

For me if I had the money it would be a Winchester 1886 1 of 1000 in 50-110 Winchester express, I was lucky enough to get to handle one 20 some years ago and it was the slickest handling rifle I have ever held, also the prettiest gun I have ever held

My "Holy Grail" lever guns would be an 1886 in .40-82 Win and an 1895 in .35 WCF.

Over the years, I've accumulated a bunch of the newer 94's in the non-.30-30 chamberings. Big Bore 94's, etc. Neat guns. But nothing over about 45 years old.

Dad had a Winchester in .32 special that was one sweet rifle.Its not old,but I ordered a Henry in 38/55 that I think is going to be one heckuva whitetail rifle.
