All I use up here in Canada is a Browning lever either 300wm or 325wsm. I will be buying a 308BLR for deer from now on. Great gun fast in the bush very reliable and safe.

I love them.. I have Marlins 39a,30/30 2-35's, 356,45/70,450..Browning 308, savage 300.. winchesters 94 22mag, 2- pre 64 30/30's, pre 64 32, big bores 307,356,375..45lc Winchester 2-71's in 348 .. I think thats it .. I will use the 450 with a 3x9 this season.

I've owned a Win94 in the past and sold it, I won't own another 94. Leverguns really don't hold any interest to me- they don't do anything better than other types of actions and they come with fairly severe limitations.

You really love the lever action guns. I'm going to use my .450 out in West Texas this year as well. I have several guns I can use but I want something light weight to carry. The only problem with it is when you actually pull the trigger. It is not a gun you want to shoot too many times. I put a Zeisss 3 x 9 x 50 on it for hog hunting at night and it works great. If there is any moon at all I don't need a light to shoot and we haven't had anything run after being hit by it.

I have an 1894 Marlin 44 Magnum and gave my 336 30-30 to my son a couple of years ago. I am shopping for a mdl 94 Winchester 30-30 for myself now. For hunting and nostalgic purposes. Where I live and hunt pretty much caters to a levergun and after packing my 270 for 20 miles a day elk hunting this year I am even more in love with my short, easy to carry leverguns.

BLR lightning in 358

Sold mine last year and the A-bolt .338!

I have a Marlin 336, 30-30 and an old Win 94 in 22 mag. I love levers and always have. I'm starting to get used to bolt actions though, but I'm very picky as they all seem to bind and are not smooth. My dream gun in a BLR in 270 WSM, though I wouldn't turn one down in 308. The new Marlin 308 express (I think that's what they call it) excites me, but I'm leary of cartriges that only fit one gun. I have a friend with a Win 94 in .307 that loves the gun but can't get ammo. The new Hornady ammo is great. We used it this year and it seems to do well on the trajectory side of things.

They're not everyone's cup of tea, but I love 'em.

I havea Marlin 336, in 30-30. I used to have one in .35 rem, but traded it for the 30-30 for a couple of reasons: the ammo for .35 rem is ridiculously expensive, and 30-30 ammo is about the cheapest you can get. Secondarily, the .35 jammed a lot, cost me a big buck one time. Now that I've shot a few deer with the 30-30, I can tell a big difference in the effectiveness between the two calibers. The .35 put a hole clean through em, almost every time. Most of the time with the 30-30, no exit wound. Makes a huge difference.

I've always fantasized about owning a model 99 featherweight carbine, in .308, clip fed, with the folding tang peep sight.....
