Had a read of Massaro's latest article.

My only lever action is a modern version, the Browning Lever Action with a box magazine in .308 Winchester. Managed to get the older model second hand. Don't like the cheaper and nastier modern models.

Mine has a saddle straight stocked "pistol" grip stock. Quite nice walnut. Is very accurate. Quick and easy to shoot. The trigger is quite good. Can be scoped easily.

In the absence of being able to own a BAR, the BLR makes a handy scrub rifle, and fast shooting rifle perfect for running game. And as the BLR is so light, handy and accurate, really could be used for almost anything medium game. Including as a "mountain rifle" it is lighter than most of my bolt actions. I have to develop some 180 gr loads for it, and try it out on sambar next time. But along with the 9.5x57.

Makes a great pig hunting rifle. But I used it more on donkeys on the NT trip it got used on more exclusively. I always try to stick this rifle in the 'cruiser when going on trips. Lots of ammo for it, and a good stand by if there is lots of game available.

Have used friends .22 RF Model 94 styled LAs with tubular magazines. Have handled but never shot a .30-30 or pistol cartridge version.

One day I would like a true old styled cowboy LA in a pistol cartridge. Just for shooting fun.
