What's your favorite lever action gun?

I'll get this started.

Mine is the Savage 99 because it can use pointed bullets unlike the lever guns with tubular magazines. The rotating magazine is also a brilliant design taken from Mannlicher and used for decades until it got too expensive to manufacture and Savage switched to a box magazine. That's why I am only interested in the older ones with the rotating magazine with round counter on the side.

What's your favorite and why?

Ever heard of Hornady LeverEvolution?, All leverguns can shoot pointed bullets now.

I would love to get a nice 99 in .300 Savage.
For now, I've got 3 Marlins...a .44 mag, .357 mag, and .35 Rem.
Love those!

I prefer the Marlin 336. I have a 52' 336RC, 57'-58' 336RC and my main one is a 2006 336C

My favorite was chosen long before LeverEvolution ammo came out.

Do you actually have any lever gun that is your favorite?

I only have one, so that's easy. It's an old Winchester '94 30-30. It was the first gun my Dad gave me when I was a kid. It's always been a great shooter. To me it's one of those cherished items.
