i have about as many lever guns as handguns .....here is a trio of my favorites : these are all model 1895s
from top to bottom, there is a model 1895 [ original version ] marlin in 45/70,
a model 1895 savage in 303 savage,
and on the bottom a model 1895 Winchester [ original version ] in 405 WCF, with the 'African style' express sights.
the express sights:
all three of these are good shooters. will see if i can find a few pictures of some other favorites.

The "3 Amigos " from 1895 are all sweet looking, but I'm really drawn to the Savage. I've never seen one of those before.

and this is one of my favorite 22 lr leverguns:
that is a marlin model 1891 sideloader, made in the first six months of production.........shoots quite well , have to use standard velocity 22 long rifle ammo of course, but the side loading feature is just a neat thing

You know, before this lever gun thread started I thought my 45/70 Marlin was the only one I would ever want. Now dang it my wallet is runnin the other way! A few years back I was in a store that had a Savage 99 in 300 and one in 250. I've often regretted not finding a way to get the 250. Now I'm gonna be keeping an eye peeled for levers! Thanks Wasp!
