I'm a 99 Savage guy, but I do like lever rifles in general. I have an older Rossi Puma in 357 Mag. It is a neat little rifle. One in 45 Colt would be awesome.

[Grayfox54]

I've always been a Winchester guy. They just have a better feel and balance to me. The Rossi is just a clone of the Winchester Model 92. I have one in .357 and love it. Buy that rifle!

[A516]

Marlin 39A.  Had several.  All have been great rifles.  Want to get a Henry lever rifle  in .357.

[Wdodd]

A+++ for the Rossi 92 in 45LC ..... much fun!!

[Quavodus]

The only one I ever owned was a 336 Marlin. I've always liked Marlins and Winchesters. The Henrys are nice but have never liked the magazine feed.

[KahrMan]

My favorite lever gun is my Marlin 1895 in .45-70 with a 16" barrel.

 

A close second is my Marlin 336 in .44 mag

I'm a Marlin lever fan. I have 4, hard to pick a favorite other than how much I shoot it and that is partially because of ammo cost.

39A Golden Mountie .22
1894 .357
336 30-30
.410

Got the .410 as my first shotgun when I was 13 for Christmas it was made during depression, one of 6500 made. Love the 39A found in the corner of my Dad's closet when I was cleaning out his guns. Never knew he had it made the year I graduated from high school so he must have got it after I was out of the house. Has a vintage scope. The other two I bought on TGO.

Favorite is my dads BLR 81 in .358 Winchester second is a 1911 '94 Winchester in .32 Winchester Special .

Been on gb and the 99 comes in a lot of calibers. 

[Swamp ash]

My grandfather's Winchester model 1886 in 45-70.

[Moped]

I have a Rossi M92 in .3578 mag with a 16" barrel and I love that little rifle!!!  I've also owned a couple of Marlin 30/30s and a Winchester 94 30/30.  Loved the Marlins and regreatt trading both of them.  The Winchester 94, I didn't like so much.  I thought the action was kind of clunky on the one I had.  I ended up trading it away on a revolver and I don't regret it at all.  The Marlin 336s were both older guns and had very smooth lever throws.  The Rossi, I think will become very smooth, given time, but I've not shot it enough yet.  But I do love the size and the even more, the price!!!

[Whisper]

16" Rossi 92 in .357 is indeed a magnificent gun.  First centerfire rifle my children ever shot.  They will probably fight over it when I'm dead.

Cheers,

Whisper

I have a .357 Rossi too that I like along with a few Winchesters. Plus a Marlin Model 39 Carbine made between '63 and '67 because those were the only years they made it. 

[gary_boom]

My only lever action is a Rossi 357. I really like it and would like to have a 22 but prices are crazy now.

[Handsome Rob]

M' little cutdown 336 in .44 magnum. This will be the lastest rifle I'll ever part with.

I had an octagon barrelled Rossi 92 in .45 colt that I kinda wish I had back.

My  336 Dad gave me when i was 10. My son is turning 10 next year and will get it. Ole 30-30 has killed about all my adopted brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews first deer, not to mention mine as welll 

[rugerla1]

I have three and they all have cool reasons for me to like them, but two are very special to me. 
#1 is one my Dad gave to me. It’s a Savage 99e chambered in .308 win. It’s been my favorite since I was little and after begging for 30 plus years he finally passed it on to me. 

#2 is one that was passed to me after my Pappaw passed away in 2001. It’s a Marlin 336 chambered in 30-30. He shot it to sight it in after purchase in IIRC 1974 or 1975, and never shot it again after that. Receipt was still in the case with the rifle and it all looked like it was purchased yesterday. 

#3 is one I got from my father-in-law a year ago or so. I didn’t even know they existed before he called me. It’s a Ruger 96/22 chambered in .22mag and has a short, smooth action. I mean it is an absolute dream to shoot. It does not have a Volquartsen trigger feel by any means, and is what most would call a heavier trigger pull. But it’s smooth and crisp so I’m happy exactly the way it is. 
 

Ive always had a soft spot for lever actions but outside of a .357 or .44 mag lever, I’m extremely happy with what I have acquired and will keep them until I pass them on to my daughter.

"My favorite lever gun is my Marlin 1895 in .45-70 with a 16" barrel."

That's got to be my LEAST favorite! First time I pulled the trigger on mine it busted my middle-finger knuckle good! Blood and bad words everywhere!  I learned to keep my pinky outside the cocking loop and my middle finger well back. I think that's the only lever-action gun that's ever bit me like that. It IS a good shooter with much lighter loads, though.

[TripleGGG]

I've never met a Marlin lever I didn't like. Hmmmm after looking around gun room I've never met any Lever I didn't like. 

[RC3]

I always made fun of lever action rifles. Then I shot a marlin .44

 

I had to stop myself from buying one. Sooo smooth and nice. No recoil.

. 44 Marlin has reeled in many a shooter.

I can see why. Hell, even the 30.30 was fun. 

They are deceptive. Just like the m1 carbine.
