Lever gun in 45LC?

[84fuegoturbo]

In the market for one, any recommendations? Older or newer rifles? I know the market is a bit slim in that cartridge but recently sold my pistol and have lots of reloading gear for it lol.
Thanks

lots of option's from Mare's Hand, to 16 or 18" Alaskan and Take Down's as well as longer 20" options. Rossi, Chiappa, Pedersoli, Henry & Marlin. then you have a number of finish options as well. case hardened, stainless, blued, weather treated, octagonal barrel, wood, laminate or plastic stocks and more!

Kinda partial to case hardened finish, shorter length would be good 16-18, guess I have to look harder on the EE.

 

[Mr. Friendly]

lots of listings for levers...but you open up and see it's sold.

I would take a look at manufacturer websites so you can break down what you're interested in.

Just bought an 1860 Henry reproduction in 45LC, it is the iron frame, so it is case colored. Best price through IRunGuns

I love my full stocked Ranch Hand in 45 Colt. 255gr@1880fps makes it a fair thumper. Quite accurate too, I hit a running coyote @ 60yds last fall.

I'd go for a new Winchester carbine meself if I didn't already have me Rossi RH unit.


The new Winchesters are beauty for the prices.

If got 2 Henry in 45 the mares leg and the full length. But by far my favorite all around for the bush is my rossi 16". Its got a better sight picture than the 12s ( I do have a 357 full stock with a peep, accurate but not as quick) light enough to carry all day, and with a 300 cast she hits hard.

An older Marlin 1894 would my recommendation, or the new Winchester 1892's. They are excellent rifles as long as you are not bothered by the rebounding hammer and tang safety.
