Hope that clarifies a little. What is your favourite lever action and calibre by the way?

I only have two, two I won't part with. One is a Marlin 1895 from the first year of "Ballard" rifling with which I've taken deer, bear, vermin, and a couple range cattle and the other a Winchester Trapper in .44 mag that we use mostly for butcher stock killing here on the ranch.
We've had a few around here, Winchesters and Marlins, and the only one I regret getting rid of was my "Model 36" stamped Marlin with a round bolt and standard rifling that made it a transition gun and really stumped old Bill Brophy until he found it had been parted together at the end of 36/beginning of 336 production. I killed a vervet monkey in Zululand with that thing, and then for some reason sold it some time later. I am not a big lever gun fan, but I would like to have that one back.
