School me on lever action cartridges.

I second a Rossi. My carbine in 44 mag is smooth as butter and fun to shoot. Very accurate out to 100 yds.

 

[aviator41]

pre 64 Winchester model 94 for rifle calibers like 30-30

winchester 1873 (they're being made again) for pistol/carbine calibers. They're now being made by Miroku out of Japan but are getting lots of good reviews by competitors. It'd the next rifle on my list.

No Way!!!! I didn't know there was a lever action 30-06.

This is now #2 on my wish list

We are in the same boat now. The 06 is my go to caliber.

I had a BLR in 30-06, but it wasn't pleasant to shoot--beat the hell out of me--so I sold it.

So I've been doing some real intense searching, and I think I've settled on a Rossi Rio Grande in 30-30. I don't much like Henry Repeating Arms price for theirs, or the loading system, and while the Mossberg 464 is a good price and easy on the eyes, I've been hearing about constant problems with them, such as the extractors being exceptionally brittle.

I like the stainless, however, for hunting and such I think it may be a bit silly to be dragging a blinged out rifle. Thoughts? I was considering getting ghost rings and a scout scope setup for the rifle, but then stainless will complicate the idea due to the fact that I must have matching accessories.

I understand these are Marlins and not the correct calibers, but this is about the look I'm going for.

I married the 06 when I bought an M1 Garand. Ever since, I've been looking for other guns in that caliber, and I have a weak spot for lever actions. Never thought i'd be able to get one in 06. I stoked!

You guys would love my O/U combo gun. 12gauge on top 30.06 on bottom

Been looking for one of those combo guns forever. The ones I see at gun shows are relics to hang on the wall.
How accurate is the rifle?

Mines a baikal mp94. They still make them and the 06 version was the most common (308 the rarest). I think I paid $400
For it 2 years ago. Just looked on gunbroker and can't find them, so they may have been a casualty of the Russian embargo.
More accurate than I am. I was consistently hitting a 7 inch plate at 175yrds and a man size target closer to 225 with iron sights. It could easily take a scope rail, but with the shotgun barrel on top I don't know how well it would stay true.
