Re: An Ode to the Lever Action Rifle

I own five lever action rifles: a Winchester 92 in .38-40, three Savage 99's in .22 Savage High Power, .250-3000 Savage and .300 Savage, plus a Model 88 Winchester in .308. I have killed deer with all of them, except for the Model 92, which has open sights only and I am no longer able to use them.

I have to confess a weakness for the Savage 99's, partly because of their handling qualities and accuracy and partly because all three of the calibers I own were designed by Charles Newton, a great favorite of mine. (I also own Newton 1916 rifles in .256, .30 and .35 Newton calibers.)

All but the Winchester 92 are fitted with scopes and since I am compelled to shoot off the left shoulder, the fact that all three models are ambidextrous, except for the safeties, is a real plus.Unfortunately I have no photos to display.
