Currently the SASA world record for speed with a lever action is 10 shots in 1.57 seconds.

This is jointly held by "Deuce Stevens" and "Lead Dispenser" (Spencer Hoglund).

Rifle is on shoulder, 10 shots in mag with an empty chamber. Begin at buzzer. I believe all shots must hit steel.

Google search it and you'll be amazed at the speed.

yes they use "mouse fart" loads. yes the targets are close and as big as "barn doors" but you've got to appreciate how fast these guys can operate a Lever Action.

All detractors should attempt this feat before "chiming in". Time yourself...ЕЕ.you'll be surprised at how much can happen in a second.

I shoot Western Action and have shot against National champions...ЕЕЕЕЕ.viewed from afar with awe...ЕЕ. and their operation of a lever action and transition between targets is something to be seen...ЕЕЕ..Makes me feel very "slow twitch".

When you see the best of them draw and operate single action revolvers, pickup and operate a lever action rifle and then load, shoot and reload a side by side shotgun (or a pump, or a lever shotgun) you've got to appreciate the speed and dexterity of some people.

I have often worried about the antigunners/politicians getting a look at how fast a lever action rifle can be operated and wondering if they'll want to ban them next...ЕЕ.fast firing and 10 shot magazines.
