Who hunts with a lever action?

I was planing on hunting with my 1895 Winchester reproduction this year but I won't get to. I wanted to put a receiver sight on it and develop some loads but I got busy and didnt get around to either one of those little projects. So... I'll have to save the 1895 for another year.

Do Not get Henry. Go Winchester. IMHO Henrys pretty rough fit and finish

I dig my win 88 .308.  Lever action with detachable mag.  Killed my last couple bucks and last couple bears with it.  Shots from 10 - 350 yards

What caliber is your 95? I've been looking for a 30/40 Krag saddle ring carbine reproduction to go with my original handed down. How do you like yours? Have you compared it to an original on feel/finish?

Mine is a .30-06 SRC, haven't got much trigger time with it but I like it quite a lot. I'm going to load up some 220 grain bullets for it just because I can. Last fall shooting off of the tailgate of my truck I put 5 180 grain round nose (of what I thought was garbage factory ammo) into a nice little group of  1.25-1.5" at around 80 yards so it's got potential to be an accurate rifle. It's so well fitted and polished it dang near operates itself once you start running the lever. I also have the reproduction Lyman receiver sight for it (available through Buffalo Arms) but haven't gotten that mounted up yet. Don't have an original to compare it too but except for the two safeties it's a pretty faithful reproduction.
I'm also looking for one in .30-40. It figures I can't find one because when I bought mine there were a few for sale but I haven't seen one for sale since then in that caliber.
