Lever. The 1st gun i ever had was the lever action bb gun. ever since i was hooked on it. Also it reminds me of the old west feel you see in the westerns. I know sounds kinda corny, but you asked.

For me its a bolt action. I own both bolt and automatic and I shoot much better with the bolt.

I have had semi autos - bolts - single shot
lever action and break open.

The lever gets my vote.
Theres just something about the feel.
And the way it seems to fit me.

I like cowboy movies so that might have a little to do with it.
I know a bolt is more accreate.
Lever just seems to feel right to me.

My first hunting rifle was a lever action and I have owned a semi auto,but now I hunt only with bolt actions.I want maximum reliability and the best accuracy and the bolt action delivers both.

Bolt action or break open single shot. Unless it's shotgun small game stuff, then I like a pump or auto.

I deer hunt with either an inline ML or a break open slug gun. If I had a bolt action it would only need to hold a few shells to make me happy.
