I've only owned two lever guns in my life and sold them both many moons ago. Much preferred the bolt guns myself, one was a ?win 3030 and the other a Marlin 4570
Both guns were not a pleasure to take apart to clean, I cannot imagine having to detail clean one with BP.it would drive me nuts as clean freak as I am about BP corrosion.
The Bolt guns always just made more sense to me. Generally speaking more accurate.wider range of projectiles. Easier to maintain, one piece stock arguments and all.
Other than fitting flatter in a saddle I really do not see any advantage to a lever gun. It probably comes down to,personal,preference .
