I have "lever action rifle disease" aka LRD REAL  bad,because the gun I'm reaching for more then anything? my 1873 Win replica more then even my AR!

So how about it? post if you find yourself grabbing a lever over a whiz-bang wondergun (don't get me wrong I still love my AR)

I'm thinking about getting more levers too!

Yep, my two ARs are mostly sitting quietly these days while I grab my .357 Rossi and little Henry.  Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy them but I guess its because both my leverguns are just plain fun to shoot.  I'm not into cowboy action shooting so I reload my Rossi ammo on the hot side.  Even then, it's mild recoil is good for a whole day's shooting.  I've notice that I'm getting the itch for another levergun myself.

Marlin 336 in .30-30 w/ Williams Peep sights loaded with flat-nose 170 grain Sierra Pro-hunters with a max load of R15...

When you are stalking hogs in the woods and absolutely, positively have to make several porcine pests Dead at short range.

Accept no substitutes.

levers are the best to shoot i think. its a western thing i think. watching all the old cowboy movies does that to you, you know?

I've always been more partial to leverguns, thats why I have a Winchester 1886 and a Marlin 1894 Cowboy as opposed to only a single AR. (Panther Lite16)

I might lose the Panther to finance a Winchester '94. The current political climate is the one thing that stops me though.

I can't lie, I like my Marlin 1894C in .357 better than my AR. When I think of another rifle I think of a Grizzly Custom Big Lewie.

Well, three out of the five rifles I have are levers, none are AR's. Traded my AR last year for something else, and sold both AK's. I just hang out on ARFCOM because I like the site
