My leverguns
Occasionally I go to our little local range with a variety of my rifles. I see others there often struggling with their bolt action rifles, usually heavily recoiling , with fancy optics and stuck in a lead sled. ..I don't see many smiles until I uncork a few of mine,off of sandbags. I have fun..they have fun watching me. My rifles shoot well..as well as theirs ordinarily. The BLR takedown and the Marlin do their job well. The .270 and the 45/70 cover all game here from Grizzly to Bighorns and both of these rounds are better today than ever...just my little,old opinion....Tony

Re: My leverguns
Leverguns are more fun than bolt action ones or semiautos, in many ways. I like them all, though.
For newbie shooters I always start them out with my integrally-suppressed Ruger 96/22 - it not only has the innocent appeal of a levergun, but zero recoil, zero noise, and the little red-dot scope I have on it makes it almost impossible for them to miss. Once they got the 50 yard gong with that a few dozen times, they are hooked...!

When I see someone at the range with a Lever action I know that they are real gun enthusiasts .........

Re: My leverguns
That's because most shooters seem to be obsessed with 1-hole groups no matter what game animals their after or how far they are shooting. Todd3/leg
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres
