Advice on lever action rifles

[Rock Torrey]

<64 Winchester or JM Marlin
Prefer 38-55 or 45-70, just reload!

Or if you don't want to reload, go with a .357 and a short-stroke kit.

A short stroke kit? Can you link that please?

Doesn't really fit the OP's original requirements, but I love shooting .357 magnums out of my Rossi 92. .38 specials, maybe even more. It was used, ugly, and cheap. It shoots great though.

I dry fired a 92 in the lgs the other day. The trigger on them was pretty outstanding. Not sure if that is the norm or not

Tell me where you're finding that "easy to find" 30-30 ammo. Haven't seen it here in a while....

That said, I'm hoping someone makes a levergun in .350 Legend. Easier to find it than .35 Remington.

Id buy a 350 legend lever gun

Cosmetically I like the Rossi 92 with gold accents. It looks just like my rifles in RDR2.

I'm also looking at the Henry Big Boy Carbine.

Now all i need to find one in stock at a LGS to look at and handle before I buy.

Browning had an 84 I wish I owned!

Do you have one of these? I was surprised by how rough the action was. Trigger sucked too. For that price I was expecting alot more

Probably overpriced, but Adelbridge and Co Firearms on San Pedro by Northstar Mall will probably have what you want. They have everything in there.

Don’t care what the “experts” say, I prefer the longer l o p’s !

Although I started at 6’2”, I have shrunk to about 5’10.5”.

As the owner of a couple of Chiappa guns, their quality control absolutely sucks.
Buyer Beware.

LGS had one of these takedown 45-70s for $1800. The action was really rough and the trigger was heavier than a dead hooker

I got my winchester 30-30 when I was 8. Its still my favorite long gun to hit the woods with.

So, do tell about your dead hooker experiences

Per thier website, they have a Rossi 92. I haven't checked back for the Henry. I agree they are over priced.

I'm mixed about Adelbridge. I was in there looking at a rifle ready to buy, and the salesman took the rifle off the wall and tried to hand it to me. I refused to take it until the salesman checked and cleared the rifle. The salesman was stating he didn't need to check it because since it was on the wall it was unloaded. They also gave a coworker of mine the run around on a transfer before.

Where did you get those ideas. He said the action is nice and smooth and the trigger he said has a clean break and butter smooth.

I got those ideas from handling one of these rifles at the lgs. I was trying to see if you had one yourself so I could know if the example in the store was a lemon

I like my Winchester Ranger 30-30

I guess I have a man-crush on Mucas McCain. I have had lever guns in 3 calibers. Suppose I watched too much tv as a kid.

30-30, 44 Mag and 22LR. 44 mag is definitely the one that got shot the least. But I have some 300g HPs for that gun that sure bring a smile to my face.
