Yep, pistol cartridge in a rifle is a pleasure to shoot. I reload so it's economical too. My JM Marlin .357 is my favorite gun to shoot.
Any lever owners out there ?

Love the economical part.... Now men know what you mean.. women put it more along the lines of saying " I saved you a lot of money today " or " the more I spent the more I saved "..

Just don't see that level of craftsmanship these days.. beautiful rifle. You must be awfully proud of it.
Very nice looking rifle. One I would be proud to own. I have nothing that rivals that level of craftsmanship.
I do love my JM Marlin 30-30, nothing really special about it. I put a skinner peep and brass front sight on it and prefer that over a scope with my current eyes.

Dang. That's a fine rifle. Do you actually shoot it? I'd be afraid I'd ruin the finish.

I'll be shooting the 1866, in .45LC, tomorrow, along with the sixguns and the side-by-side. Its Cowboy Action Shooting at Anne Arundel Fish & Game.
Y'all ought to come out and shoot those things.

I love leverguns. Used to shoot them all the time. The Marlin in .357 was my wife's favorite when we lived in MD, since it was a "real gun" (not a .22) that she could shoot locally at On Target and not have to go all the way to to Isaac Walton. Reading this thread, wondering why I don't shoot them as much these days.
Oh yeah, now I remember. I put peep sites on them many years ago, as my eyes aged, but now they really need scopes. Combined with moving to where the shots are longer (trees? We don't need no stink in' trees), the lever guns don't get as much love these days. Might be time to introduce my daughter to the .357.

Henrys??? Someone mention Henrys? Top two are Uberti Henry replicas. The next two are Henry Repeating Arms "Big Boys". Fine rifles, very smooth action, always a pleasure to shoot.
The revolvers are replica Colt black powder conversions. All firearms are .45 LC.

Very nice rifles. Is there a bigger difference in the bigger loop lever? Which works better? Or so you prefer?

Can't speak for Hairba111 but I much prefer my Marlin BL to the smaller lever. I'm long past hunting but I can't imagine going in the Mts. of Ne Pa for deer season w/out decent gloves and the small lever would be a real pita. That said, there's a lot of heroes out there that don't wear gloves or if they do they wear the half fingers or pop off mitten style. More importantly, how would you pull off the Chuck Conners " Rifleman " spin with a small lever ?? I must confess however, that when shooting both there isn't much difference in the temps that I now enjoy at the range..

Did you SBR a meres leg? Been thinking of doing that myself. Something about a 12" barreled .357 sounds cool as hell!

Yes, it was a Mare's Leg. Adding a regular stock makes it an SBR so you have to get the stamp. Basically it was hard to handle accurately with the small handle type stock so I ordered a full stock, one bolt and it was done.

Yep, Skinners they are.

Big hands. Some times I wear gloves.
