Your dream lever-gun?

[echo1]

I like the ones I do have already. The 20" Rossi and the Henry in .41 mag are the most recent additions. Might have posted this once before, PAX

Henry in 44 mag. Heck, just another gun in a long list of guns I'll probably never own

The Marlin Model 62: A Unique Piece of Levergun History -

The Marlin Model 62 has been relegated to collections. However, it's history and operation are an interesting piece of levergun lore.

I just want more .454 lever action options aside from Rossi and BHA.

I have a couple, Winchester 30-30 and Marlin 450. Great guns!!

I've been kicking around the idea of putting my name in for a 500 lever from BHA but with so many options and me like a kid in a candy store things could get out of hand quick lol

For a while I wanted a .460 mag BHA carbine, but could not justify the cost, especially since I have a Marlin '95 SBL in .45-70 that will do everything the .460 mag will do from a rifle - except for interchange ammo with the 460V I used to have (and sold). If I won the lottery - i.e., had more $ than I could spend - I would get both just to have them.

I would like to have a SS octagon barrel fitted to my '95 - I've always preferred octagon barrels on most lever actions (except my BLR) - even though they add weight.

I have octagon's on my cowboy marlins and the zane grey edition in 30/30 they made years and years ago. Almost sold it to a cowboy shooter couple years back and I'm glad I changed my mind. They are getting harder to find.

I have every caliber in Marlin around the 500 , 444 44-40 454 (rossi) 450 Marlin and several hard hitters in 308 and 338 ME but the allure of that 500 is strong. Just like that company out west that makes that 10mm takedown lever that's around $2k. I was ready to thrown down for it and then the Scamdemic hit and the world changed forever.

A 1955 winchester mod 88 308. 1st year the 88 came out, the year the old man was born, the one I remember hunting the most with as a kid. Rifle and old man are both gone.

I just haven't been able to track the right one down at the right time. I have 18,378 to pick from though.

They are especially hard to find in short barrel/carbine configurations - which I prefer. The one octagon barrel lever action I have is an 18" Winchester/Miroku '92 takedown in .44 mag - it is a safe queen with one shot thru it (mine).

Havent read through all the replies to see if anyone else mentioned it... but one of those Winchester 1895s in 7.62x54R with the stripper clip guides. A modern repro so I can blast and have fun and not worry about messing up a rare historical piece.

Last time I came across one at a gunshow I thought it was too expensive, looking back on it with todays prices it was a certified bargain. Funny how that works.

1893 Marlin rifle that I traded away in 1973. Rough looking, having spent its life in southern AZ. Good shooter, though..
