    1866 is a Uberti 44/40 little bighorn
    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    I thought that beautiful 45-70 looked familiar.

    Sell me the 6th one down in post 11

    It will have a wonderful home and I'll even let you keep the scope.
    Please.

    I love seeing photos of other people’s leverguns, so post your pics here!

    Here are my current two; I’ve had Winchesters, Savages and Rossis, it’s hard to go past the antique Winchesters.

    A 1912 manufacture 1892 rifle in 44WCF and a 1908 manufacture 1894 rifle in 25/35WCF:

    My two lever guns..
    Winchester 94. Made in the 60s or earlier. Old man bought it in the 60s I think...or was that his saddle..
    Bottom is a 94/22. Think it’s the XTR..not sure. Youngest boy likes it so most probably won’t get sold. Top one potentially for sale..

    Definitely an XTR. Beautiful rifle. Jealous, much. Hope you make the little beggar work for it.
    A good shot at close range beats a 'hit" at a longer range.

    Winchester M94 Trapper, my first rifle, bought new in 1986, only had a scope since last year (Leupold VX Hog).
    It will never be sold.

    I have an early 70's Mossberg 472 PCA lever.

    Will have to get it out to load some pic's.
    The best thing about it is that the trigger moves with the lever so no chance of F@#!^*& a finger when cycling it.
