    So, what's the point of modern & tactical lever action rifles? Well, in this video I try to explain. Although I think @PewView and I just got caught up in doing more shooting than explaining else. Oh well... The rifles showcased in this video were the Marlin Dark Series in .45-70 with Leupold DPP, the Henry All-Weather in .45-70 with Vortex Razor red dot, and the Henry Big Boy Model X in .357/.38spl with a Vortex Sparc Solar & Rugged Obsidian 45 suppressor. What do y'all think of modern/tactical lever action rifles?

    To me, lever action guns have a real merit, even in todays gun world. Those being:
    They can usually shoot several cartridges
    They don't need to rely on blow-back or a gas system (so they can shoot harder or lighter loads without problems of cyceling),
    They are easy to use and are simple in their construction and can probably be repaired by someone that doesn't have a gunsmithing education (in a pinch).
    The rate of fire isn't anything to write home about, but with training can be reasonably high.
    And finally I find them usually cheaper than semi automatic weapons.
    Bonus: They look way less threatening to people outside the gun community, so people are usually more understanding of them.
    All that being said, I like them, they have their place. But they do come with some serious drawbacks as well.

      Give me a break. You need to watch the flip more closely. The lever is open during the flip, so there is no round in the chamber while it's flipping. The bolt comes out over the hammer while the lever is open, which makes it impossible for the hammer to move. Since you obviously don't own a lever action rifle and apparently, have never fired one before and don't now how they function, go ask to borrow your neighbor's and see if you can get the trigger to pull when the lever isn't completely closed.

      @jerroldshelton9367 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      My favorite cartridge for the lever action is the .30-30 Winchester, as well and that's even more true with the availability of Hornady FTX bullets and Hodgdon LVR powder.
      I like the combination of comparatively light recoil and mild report coupled with enough power to cleanly kill pretty much all North American game animals that can't eat you. The load I use with 160 grain FTX bullets gives me 2013 ft/lbs at the muzzle, At my 200 yard zero, it's hitting with 1418 ft/lbs of thump, At 300, it's close enough to 1,200 at 1179 ft/lbs to kill an elk stone-cold dead. At 400 yards, it's hitting with the same 975 ft/lbs that a lot of traditional 170 grain factory loads hit with at 200.
      The versatility isn't just on the high end of the power spectrum. When I was a kid, and my Marlin 336 was the only gun I had, instead of buying me a .22 LR rifle to shoot rabbits with, my dad supervised me in hand-loading reduced power loads with cast bullets. They worked fantastically well for brain-bucket shots on bunnies. I could (and occasionally still do) shoot rabbits with the thing and have something left to eat.
      The .30-30 gets a bad and undeserved rap for inaccuracy. In single-shots, the round has long delivered more than acceptable precision.
      When I was 11 and my 336 was nearly new, it was a 2.5 M.O.A. gun when shot from a full mag tube to empty, but it grouped much tighter when sighted in and used as a single-shot rifle or a two-shooter. When Hornady came out with the FTX ammo, I'd found the "missing link." Where I used to think "This thing would be perfect if it had enough power to take game out to 300 yards," it finally did in 2007 when FTX bullets and LVR powder became available.
      In all the years I hunted with the thing, the whole 6+1 in the chamber aspect seemed kind of a waste, as my experience was either "pop and flop" or "pop, trot, flop" every time. One shot, one very dead critter. Then, when I was a kid, we used to have a guy in our party who had a Glenfield version of the 336 with a half-length mag tube that was a tack-driver of a rifle. Accuracy-wise, it was everything the gun-writers of the 1970s said a level action .30-30 could never be.
      So, in an effort to improve accuracy so I could make full use of the extra performance of the FTX bullets and LVR powder, I "hot rodded" my old 336. I put a cushy take-off butt pad from some Browning something or other on it that was a direct replacement fit, I glass-bedded the butt to the action, and I bobbed the mag tube to half-length. The end result when scoped was a rifle that would shoot four shots into a 1.25" circle at 100 yards every single time and very often shoot groups of an inch or less.
      I don't like the handling dynamics of the 336 when scoped, so I generally shoot mine with a Lyman 66 LA aperture sight fitted with a Merit adjustable iris sight disc. Thus configured, I shoot the thing exactly as well as I shoot National Match AR-15 A2s or NM M-1s or M-1As. To me, that makes my 336 a load of fun at the range.
      The range up the road from my house has a maximum distance of 300 yards, and my 160 FTX load can "hang with the big boys" at that distance with no problem.
      The only thing that kinda sucks is that shooting a lever-gun while prone on a mat is a bit of a pain in the arse, but not enough to spoil my joy. The other thing that kinda sucks in my application, where I've kept the rear "carbine band" with a sling stud attached to it, is that I have to be very careful to use the sling consistently, because of the way the sling is attached to the rifle.
      To sum up, I used to have a MASSIVE collection of center-fire rifles. Now, I'm down to one, again.
      I'm content to keep it that way.

    So I own a couple of Henry’s, a .22 WMR that I’ve “modified” a bit, added the bigger loop, a pic rail and a Burris Fast Fire 3 red dot. Also added the Express butt stock, mostly because I like the higher cheek rest. Have an all weather 3.57/38 Special, also with a bigger loop, pic rail and Primary Arms SLx Gen3 5X Prism. Wish I could justify a 45-70, but there are no buffalo or grizzly bears in my area (not to mention the cost of 45-70 ammo!)
    Personally I don’t like the term Tactical Lever rifle, but I get it. There are some definite practical advantages aside from looking cool. Weight is certainly one, and having a hand guard is probably the biggest. Aside from allowing for “furniture” that is compatible with a standard AR, the (round) barrel gets really hot after a dozen rounds, (and an octagon barrel is really heavy).
    But I love my Henry’s, easily my favorite firearms…

    I just found you guys and I really enjoyed the video. Very entertaining versus other gun review videos I’ve watched. I’m not a fan of .45-70 because of the cost. But lever actions are so much fun. I’d try to go with .30-.30 or .38 spc because you might have another gun that shoots .38 so your buying a lot of ammo to supply two guns.

    Why lever action?
    Here in Austria - for any semiauto gun (pistol or AR15 for example) or a gun shorter than 60cm =~23,6" overall length (revolver/mere's leg) - you need a "Waffenbesitzkarte" (starting at age 21 - allowing you 2 guns to start with)
    But at age 18 you can buy a bolt action rifle / lever action rifle without restriction of only 2 guns or psychological test or such things

      I disagree on your first reasoning. and I agree mostly on your second reasoning. Dope AF? No way. I highly doubt you've shot any such guns. Lever actions are more complicated, slightly more than Bolt Actions actually but not by much, they are not easier to repair, and yes less likely to be seen as threatening. They are cool and satisfying if you want to make precision gun shooting more difficult for whatever reason.
      Bolt Action guns in my opinion are more boring but way more cool due to the precision and skill requirements.

    A more serious point about the why other than the suppression aspect, there is a rugged reliablity that comes with a manually cycled action both beacuse there is less going on so there is less to go wrong and because when it is you manually cycling the firearm it doesn't care if it is wet, muddy, sandy the action the added friction of these conditions is a lot less likely to cause the gun to fail to be cycled.
