What can I say,

My build on this one using a Shilen barrel and Special Interest Arms kit supplied by a feller in Ontario who sadly is no longer in business. Cost to build, not including my labor at the time was about $850, but it's a fun little bugger to splat pests with.![]()
Great pic of the mountains, to bad it wasn't a lever gun in the pic![]()
Sold them all eh, that's a bold statement either for the bolt action or against the lever. I am getting more into bolt guns but I just can't see myself selling off my levers!

It's actually the only type of hunting rifle I have never owned to be honest...... I see a 77/44 in my future...... Especially since I reload now......
I can't even truly count how many lever guns i've owned and sold (minimum 45 Marlins). They're fun, handy and practical. I like them...... but I've moved on, I just found they saw more range time than actual hunting use. When downsizing was required, they didn't stick around.
I would enjoy picking up another 35 Rem at some point (excellent cartridge)
But back on topic: (yeah, a bit long in the barrel for a "carbine")

Come on now Brad, not even a 30-30??
To be honest my 35 Rem is the only one that sees any hunting time.
