I know you've seen my old Navy Arms/Rossi 1892 short rifle in .357 before.

I've always loved lever actions.... grandpa got me into westerns as a kid and I fell in love.... oddly enough I dont have one, may have to remedy that....

The 1886 is a Miroku and it is excellent. They make a fine gun.

That's a good looking rifle Erich. I had to put a red dot on my 1894C. My eyes aren't working well with open sights anymore, it seems.

I just bought this Rossi 357 about a week ago. It's been to the range twice already. It is a really fun gun. I also have a Browning BL22 and a Winchester 94 30-30. What I love about lever actions is they feed just about everything. I'm working on a noiseless squib load for the Rossi in addition to high power hunting loads. The Browning 22 takes shorts, CB caps, shot shells, etc. I like that.

Neat rack of rifles! Here's a question I hope that one or more of you could answer. Just watched one of the more squared-away U-Boobers who made a Top-5 Rifles for H/D video. Thee levergun he uses is an 1873 pattern Winnie.
I only have experience with the '92, '94, and Marlin actions. What would be some things on the older design that one would prefer it? At a glance, it SURE looked liked there are less screws and pins to futz with if need be.

I love my new to me model 94 circa 1950. Knowing who bought it new and owned it all of his life makes it special.
Those are some very nice lever actions. We have three here.
Marlin .45-70. My favorite centerfire rifle.
Marlin .450.
Henry in .357. I do say that although I get to shoot that one it is entirely Wendy's rifle because it was a gift to her from a forum she is on.
There was a Marlin 39 but that belonged to her dad and has been passed on to his granddaughter, our niece. A fine first rifle when she got old enough and got into shooting plus her brother gets to use it also. Her brother received one of his grand dad's Randall knives that we used to have here, so it worked out great for all.

Here is a few of my keeper class levers. I have others up to 70s in Marlins and 64 in Wins......and one M99 savage of 1950. Win 1895 in 30/06, Marlin 1894 in 32/20, Marlin 1897 in 22rf and Win 53 in 25/20. These rifle shoot so good it's not fair to game to use them.

I also like lever guns. Unfortunately neither of my rifle racks can hold all of the, for a single photo. None of my lever guns are vintage, all are of modern manufacture
I prefer the straight stock on mine
This engraved 20" SRC from Rossi is probably my oldest
As a big fan of 41 Magnum I had to have this
Marlin 1894 CCL
Then Marlin offered up this stainless 41 Magnum
I also have Marlin CCLs in 44 Magnum and 45-70
How can you not love a 22LR Golden Boy from Henry?
This .308 Browning BLR brings some big power
We converted this 45LC Marlin to a take down a couple of years back
In total there are three Rossi long guns plus 3 Rossi Ranch Hands. Then I have half a dozen Marlins plus two Winchesters and two Henrys
One day I may gather them all together for a group photo
