Levers are epic! Is that the new word? I am so stale when it comes to trendy words! Lol!
But yes levers are very awesome! I have owned many over the years.

Just added bling to these two BLR’s….

Where did you find that leather???  Looks amazing.   :tup:

I must admit I wouldn't mind having a 30-30 Marlin 336 with a reflex style red dot. That would be a sweet brush gun for Blacktail.
You mean like this?

I was bidding on a BLR in 358 Win in stainless last week.   It got above the price limit I set for myself.  Was so tempted to exceed my limit.  Have kept my eye out for a 348 as well, but those also get expensive fast.....

My two levers are a Marlin 336 re-bore/re-chamber to 356 Win with a red dot sight, and a Rossi 357 Mag stainless.  So much fun to shoot and carry.

Levers are the new "hot-ness"   fads come and go, even in the gun world.... wished I would have rounded out the collection before prices jumped...

Not to rub it in but I found two stainless JM lever guns (357 Mag and 44 Mag) this weekend that I don’t think have been shot hardly at all.  If you keep looking you just might find a gem every once in awhile.

Thanks. Buffalo Brand Leather in Utah. They have some amazing leather products for rifles! The fit and finish is superb.

Nothing "recently" purchased in my gun safe, but since we're posting pics;
The Winchester Model 94 30-30 that I got for Christmas when I was 13 (my first rifle) that I killed my first two deer with.
A Winchester Model 64 30 WCF that I inherited from my stepdad when he passed a few years ago.  Pretty sure he bought it new.
