Box magazine lever actions

[BigGame]

Are there any current production lever action rifles with a box or rotary magazine (rather than tubular) other than the Browning BLR and Henry Long Ranger?

What do you think of these?

They can use ammo tube mags can't ,but to me it destroys the look of the rifle. .

I have a BLR in 308 and it is a well built rifle.

I have a BLR on 7mm-08. I got it because I really liked my father's BLR in ,243, which was an older model made in Belgium. Mine mas made in Japan. I was quite disappointed with the crappy trigger, considering the price. I guess if I had gotten it in .358 Win, I wouldn't mind the terrible trigger as much.

Other than the trigger, it is smooth and easy to shoot, albeit not as accurate for me as I like. I have the straight stock model, and have never tried a pistol grip one.

Well there you go the best box magazine lever ever made

A 6.5 pound BLR in 7mm-08 sounds like a handy rifle to me. I agree that the box magazine lever guns have a different aesthetic (not as beautiful), but they seem more practical using more modern cartridges. The Winchester 1895 is better looking to me, but fewer cartridge choices and they weigh 8 pounds. I have a Winchester m94 in 30-30 which I will keep, but I think I'd use a 7mm-08 more.

Just one of those itches I've wanted to scratch for some time.
