I had a BLR in 358 Winchester, not very impressive to me...but im hard to please. Still I like lever actions like you do so I continued the search. After several years I came up with two guns that I had to go custom with to get what I wanted...accuracy.

Both my Savage 99 in .308 and the Marlin .444 are less than 1.5 inches at 100 yards, good for a lever action. Notabley I'm a competitive rifle shooter and I have a sponsor that is a really good gunsmith. So maybe I'm spoiled, but it can be done...both rifles were used and totally restored by Matt Wilson of Leesville, La,Industrial Starters. Either rifle can be found used in a gun show, and if you saw them now you would drool.
