Thread: Lever action

i've owned a blr in 308, awesome gun and to be honest not that heavy, they now do a "lightning" model with an alloy receiver which is even lighter. bloody accurate but wanders a little after 10 shots as the barrel is light. but as a hunting guns its awesome, the fact that the trigger moves down along with the lever stops any ouch moments of other makes.
currently i have a 44mag rossi, as yet unfired but it seems quite well made though the safety is stiffer than a priest at a boy scout jamboree. but since its possible to put the hammer is 1/2 cock position who needs a safety anyway
