Lever Actions in 5.56/.223 or 7.62 x 39??

[Tjv787]

Which lever action rifles come in the calibers 5.56/.223 or 7.62 x39?

When comparing these calibers is 7.62 x39 to big for coyotes and wolves?
Which other calibers compare to 5.56/223?

Thx

I want a lever action but i need something bigger then 22LR, but not a caliber meant for big game ( i have a .308)

.357, 44 mag or 30/30 with leverevolution round work?

I just bought a Marlin 92 in .357 for this kind of fun.

None, pointy bullets are not a good idea in a tube magazine.

Browning BLR in .223 but no 7.62x39. Too bad...it would be fun.

22-250 rem, 222 rem or 223

Are any of these calibers cheaper then the others to shoot and are all good for coyote and wolves

For Wolves, I might consider the .22-250...... IMOP, the others are marginal at best....... My last timberwolf was over 100 pounds ...... The .22-250 is middle of the pack of your three in regards to expense....... If you learn to reload, it's all a non factor......

Am i right in saying 223 is the cheapest and readily available ammo at stores? And that 5.56 is cheaper then the 223?

Same price generally between .223 and 5.56

Yep..... But in my opinion, not a wolf caliber...... Others may differ......

I believe the Savage 99 is available in 243 and 250-3000. Good strong rifle with either a detachable mag or rotary mag.

My LGS has one of these in 243 (also chambered in 223 & 308) ordered for me. Henry Long Ranger... No idea if it will ever arrive lol

For once Superbrad and I are going to agree on a calibre choice.

.223/5.56 tops out at Coyotes, IMHO. Even with Hornady SST bullets.

Gophers, ground hogs, badgers, beavers (only on private land when you're shooting them as a pest - otherwise "fur bearing species" rules apply and trap only), coyotes... Past that, you're pushing your luck.

x39 level action ? Never heard of such a thing. Might be kinda interesting though.

Anyone know other sources to buy a lever action in .223? Or where i can order the browning blr in 223

 

[carverk]

I have wounded if a savage 99 in 303 savag could be re-barrel to 7.62x39

If you want local, try Al Flaherty's to see if they can order one.
Or, a couple minutes Googling found both .22-250 and .223 BLR's at different Cdn retailers. A phone call or email would confirm if they have stock.
