a short discription. year, model number and caliber
Heres my favorite...

1926 Winchester model 92 in 38-40

That's like asking me to pick between my children - I jes' kain't do it ! !

Like my children, every one of them is cherished for what they are, and for the activities we share in.

However, just as I hunt/shoot more often with one particular child of mine than the others, so do I also use one levergun more often - this long-sought after, Winchester 9422XTR-Mag.

My original 1886 in 45-70:

or my NKJ 92 in 357:

I use the 92 more, still love the heft and feel of the '86 though.

Impossible. But I can do it in three - 22, truck gun, and hunting gun, in that order:
Marlin 39A with Redfield sight

Winchester 94 Trapper 44 mag

Winchester 55 (1926) 30 wcf with Lyman 21

It's a New England Custom Gun (NECG) .22 Grooved Receiver Peep Sight, a clip-on which required a higher front sight blade than issue.
I also installed a fiber-optic front, a Hi-Viz, IIRC.

I haven't had a chance to fire it yet but as it's my latest toy and took a lot of jumping through hoops to get I'll list it as my Favorite!

jeepnik · Post by **jeepnik** » Tue Jun 30, 2009 4:48 pm

Oh heck, I'll drag this one out again.

Tough decision, but they're both Marlin's and 22 caliber.

And my newest favoritest one is my 1894 25/20

My 1954 336SC in .35 Remington.

AJMD429 · Post by **AJMD429** » Tue Jun 30, 2009 9:07 pm

Too hard to pick just ONE. The most recent acquisition is of course always the current 'favorite' - but this one always comes back to the top of my list.

Marlin 1889 in .32-20

Also - the two photos were taken about 115 years apart...

(...and yes, I'll try to find a larger picture...

)

OTOH if it had to be one I've longed for, picked out, ordered, finally received, then tuned up, it would be another Marlin - XLR .444

(Note...slippers there in tribute to YK's "nice pair" threads that kept us all from upcoming-elections & cabin-fever last winter...)

Tycer · Post by **Tycer** » Tue Jun 30, 2009 9:37 pm

My first lever.

2ndovc · Post by **2ndovc** » Tue Jun 30, 2009 9:39 pm

Not the oldest or the prettiest or the rarest levergun I own but the the
one I grab to wander the trails or if something needs to go down hard it's my Marlin
LTD III 45-70.

Jason, i so remember that rifle. You sure can shoot it! looks as good as ever

Streetstar · Post by **Streetstar** » Tue Jun 30, 2009 11:45 pm

I've got to get a more stylish picture of mine going, but my favorite is my dad's 1894 (the one in the middle with the big loop lever )

It is a receiver safety model and is pretty plain vanilla, --- but its hands down my favorite because of the emotional connection.

What is it...? 1889? 1894? Chambering?

jazman · Post by **jazman** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 4:55 pm

I've posted this one before, it's still my favorite. NKJ .357 Trapper, sleeve underneath by Lever at Levergun Leather...I just flat love this gun.

salvo · Post by **salvo** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 6:03 pm

I hate these type of threads, how the heck do you pick a favorite?
If it's the one that puts the biggest smile on my face when shooting it, then it's Pugslie, my chopped 1895G Slick, handy and accurate!

Buffboy · Post by **Buffboy** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 6:57 pm

AJMD, The top one is an 1893 Marlin in 38-55, 26" Octagon, Special Smokeless Steel barrel, born in 1904. I've had it for only 5 years, but it's taken the deer hunting slot from everything else.

The Second is a SS 16" Puma in 454 Casull that Steve (aka Nate Kiowa Jones) hopped up, then sold me about 7 years ago.

Edit: PS: Win94, that is a sweet looking 99. I better not let my wife see it or I'll have to some cosmetic work on hers.

They make a nice pair; contrasting past and present, etc. Cool.

Pretty much...my safe is full, but most of these reside in my vault under the stairs in the basement.

Got to be my Marlin 336 in 30-30. It is amazingly accurate and the best hunting rifle I have ever had. If I have that gun in my hand I guarantee I am having a good day.
