Re: An Ode to the Lever Action Rifle

I've got a few myself.

Winchester 1892 .25-20
Winchester 1892 .32-20
Winchester 1892 .44-40
Winchester 1886 .45-90
Winchester Mod. 71 .348 Win.

Each one is loads of fun in its own right.

The '86 is just awesome. I shoot it with black powder and a 325 grain cast bullet. It would be great to hunt with - its original purpose. I think it would be a real "hammer of Thor."

The Mod. 71 is a fine shooter and would hold its own against any game in North America. It has the bolt aperture sight and is quite accurate.

The '92s are sweetest of all. The .25-20 is my most recent. I got it "by accident" on GunBroker a year or so ago. I fell in love with it the first time out to the range. It's surprisingly accurate with the standard sights, as are the two other '92s.

These rifles are just plain fun.
