Levergun thread

If you want a .308 levergun, then Browning makes that.

>>32736768
I can't afford it, like tubular magazines and already handload so I thought why not. Pressure seems to be at safe level for modern actions but can't find many resources on it.

>>32736272
.307 Winchester is what you want then or you can be smart and buy a box fed leveraction .308
.30-30 is inefficient
>As big as .308/7.62x51
>Can't handle pressure

>>32736779
It's not just a question of the action, it's a question of brass too.

>>32736809
30-30 improved Ackley is about the same though.

>>32736272
.45-70 or .30-30? I want to get a Henry guide rifle, and I can't decide on a caliber.

>>32737093
.45/70, 30-30 is a pretty middling cartridge

Just get a Marlin .45-70 and jump to the head of the lever gun class.

>>32737159
Used winchesters go for like 300-400 45-70 anything is almost twice that.

Fucking Rossi discontinuing the Rio Grande, that 6 +1 capacity was perfect and the price was great. Kicking myself for not buying it at the time.

Maybe they should have thought before making a poor fag gun that shoots 75 cent bullets

I've already got a 30-30 levergun.
Now i want a levergun in .357 mag to pair with my .357 revolver

>>32738120
>pair with revolver
This. Someday I will own a .32-20 lever gun to pair with my future .32-20 Colt Police Positive

Looking to pick up a Henry Big Boy Steel Carbine (16.5 inch barrel) this week. I don't mind the tube mag. Anyone have one? Opinions?

>>32738326
Mostly positive reviews from what I've seen from owners/users posting on YT

I want a lever gun, but 30-30 and 45-70 are expensive.

Also what's the effective range for these rifles and is it hard to aim with them, considering that I hear alot about bullet drop?

>45-70 anything is almost twice that.
and it shoots $2 bills!

.308 lever rifle. Fuck custom hand loaded 30-30. .308 from the factory and be done with it.

>>32737093

.45/70. You can always hand load to lower velocities.

>>32739932
I came

>>32738661
Effective range for 30-30 is probably 150-200 yards. I couldn't tell you about .45-70. If you want a .45-70 I'd suggest handloading to manage prices, as for 30-30 prices aren't terrible but I usually look for ammo on sale at the cabela's or bass pro near me (I'm in PA so roughly half of the population has a 30-30 for muh deer). I'm considering getting a reloading press but it isn't really due to cost, I just want to try it.

Custom Ranch hand carbine

>>32738326
Don't get a Henry unless you like loading like the rifle is a rim fire. And have fun topping up the tube with your hand in front of the muzzle

>>32740884
Doesnt matter if your finger is off the trigger

>>32740884
Henry Long Ranger loads with detachable box magazine! FTW!

Get a load of this guy. I don't think he actually likes guns

>>32742553
>copying the BLR
Very innovative

>>32741395
Still. Loading it inside a vehicle can be a hassle, my uncle had a Henry for hunting and he loved it except for loading it at the top of the tube.
