DrMike,

You need to add a Marlin 1895 .45/70 to that arsenal! LOL

Wow! No wonder why I can't find a lot of lever actions, you and Gil cleaned out the lever action market! LOL

It has taken over 20 years to acquire these rifles! Have hunted with a number of them, and am looking forward to hunting with all of them in the years to come! The Winchester '94 Big Bore in 375 Win is unfired.

Missing from this collection are my two other Winchester Model 88's. One in a heavy barrelled 338 Federal (seen in another thread with my caribou harvested this fall; in to the gunsmith to work on feeding issue). And the second is being rebarrelled to 7mm-08 as we speak.

Still looking to add a Browning Model 65 in 218 Bee to the collection and either a Winchester Model 9422 XTR or a Browning BL-22.

Question for those who know how to repair damaged stocks. In the last photo above, you can see marks in the clear finish on the left side of the 348 buttstock. Any suggestions in how to remove these without damaging the finish?

Oh, and a Marlin 444!

I have owned two different 45/70's over the years; a Browning 1886 and a Marlin 1895 SS.
No offence to this grand old cartridge, or those who have and use them...but I have just not been able to warm up to the 45/70.

That M71 is a gorgeous.

Some beautiful rifles.

ENABLERS!

Only a few lever action rifles here, but I do like them:

30-30 Glenfield:


Marlin 39A:


Old (1913?) Savage in 22 Hi Power:


Don't seem to have a photo handy of the 308 Browning BLR, it's one of the early ones, made in Belgium, with the steel receiver. Nice rifle. I don't haul it out of the safe often though.

Dangit Mike, those guns are gorgeous. I never owned a lever action, now you make me want to start looking. :grin:

Beautiful collection Gil. Congratulations.

That collection would make any rifle crank jealous!

Wow! Awesome bunch of lever guns!

Guy,
Neat old Savage.
Sellier & Bellot is making ammo for it as well, marked as 5.6x52R (like your Norma). Not usually stocked on store shelves, but can be ordered.
Found some a few years back for others who wanted to be able to use their 22 Hi Powers.

Lovely lever guns, Guy. I know they are used, and that makes them more beautiful still. Yeah, that Savage is sweet. I'm a sucker for these "obsolete" cartridges.

Here are my 2 representations of lever guns:

Marlin 1895 .45/70 Government
Savage 99 .300 Savage
