What is your favorite old lever action or if you could buy anyone you wanted which one would it be? Model and caliber.

Model 71 chambered in 348 Winchester. And a model 1886 chambered in 50/120 sharps

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.

My great grandpa's model 64, in 30-30. Its my favorite because of the history.

Winchester 94 in 30-30….1948 .

i got win 94's in 25-35, 30-30, 32 special in rifle and carbine models.
marlin 93 in 32-40
fun guns and a lot of family and friend history with them.
for accuracy my marlin 336.
for comfort and love of carrying on a still hunt for whitetails my winchester model 64 in 30-30

A buddy of mine has a few, he collects.

Model 94, 30-30 1959. Came from upstate NY where It likely killed more deer in its life than I have all together.

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

This one...

Winchester 94 in 7x30 Waters.

I like my Marlin 1895, 336, and 1894.

I have fathers model 94 in 30 WCF, made 1927. under a million serial #
always thought I would like to try a Browning lever gun in 30 - 06 or larger

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

I could hook you right up if you were ready for one.

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.

Very cool good posts!

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.

i looked for a long time for a mod 94 in 38-55 finally found one, then a couple months after i stumbled on a twin 94 in 38-55 both from the teens. middle 2 in the picture. what great shooters in a great deer caliber
