Well I'm sure the bolt action has passed the lever up today....

I sure like the lever guns..I have a 25-35 Win, 30-30 Win. 250 Sav. mod. 99 EG, 308 Sav. m-99F and a couple of others that are collector rifles....I still hunt with the 25-35 behind my house every year if I draw in the So. Hills..and when I hunt horseback I usually grab one of the Savage 99s with a scope on them....
