BLR or 95 in 30/06 for the range in the West.
No votes for .38-55?
Exactly. I love my .44 and .357 Marlins but the 39A may be the most fun and the Guide Gun is my all around woods carbine (we gots some black bears around these parts).Originally Posted by osteodoc08
30-30 is a very good choice , I think perhaps .32 win special is even better , as it is more friendly to CBs and can use the same brass . I also believe 38-55 is just as well suited for the same reasons . If I had to make one lever last , it would be a 30-30 , the next generation could reboared to .32 special , and if necessary the next generation , could rebore to 38-55 .
Given my location and variety of game I'd pick a Browning BLR in .338 Win Mag, if they make one, or .300 Win Mag which I know they make.
You're throwing away about two generations worth of rifle by not starting with a .25-35.
Can't believe that I'm the only one that's correct with the answer of 35 Remington, in a Marlin 336A of course.

45/70 can be loaded light just like many but can also handle the most dangerous of big game.
Would have to keep my Win 94 in 30-30. Since I just like it. A little light on heavy game. But then we don't have moose or bear in Illinois. 150 grain Saeco cast sizes and loads like rain in April. Then the 200 grain RCBS 30-180-FN over LeveRevolution Will punch through about any critter.
Marlin levers with a toss-up between 30-30 & 444. Where I hunt in deep south Texas there are some exotics that I prefer not using the 30-30 on so the 444 sees daylight more often. Yes, the 30-30 can get the job done but extended tracking is no fun.

44 mag works well for me for what I hunt.where you live.
I live in PA, hunt the brush and mountain laurel- my pick would be my 94 Winchester in 38-55.

Gun control is not about guns.

45/70, because it will get the job done with the right boolit in WV, Kodiak Island, and Jurassic Park
The .44 Magnum and .35 Remington are my favorites too.

Where I live, 30/30. All Around one rifle 45/70.
]Why does anyone need an assault rifle? My first need is articulated in the US v Miller 1939 decision: every citizen eligible for volunteer or conscript military service, every member of the unorganized militia, should be familiar with his nation's military service rifle, and the service rifles of potential allies and foes as well, to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
I choose my lever actions based on the revolver/pistol, I happen own. They include 22LR, 38 /357 & 44 Magnum. For big game I mostly opt for the forty-four.

For Kentucky today, it would be the 25-20 WCF with a lead bullet.
Think of the big Jordan Buck on one end of the scale, and squirrels & biscuits on the other end, with plenty of room in the middle for any kind of varmint as needed.
A 310 tool, a big lump of lead, and a few bricks of primers with a 8 pound flask of 1680 and one of 700x , along with a crate of brass cases of would do nicely for a lifetime.

Every lawbreaker we allow into our nation, or tolerate in our citizen population leads to the further escalation of law breaking of all kinds and acceptance of evil.
Since almost all aspects of our cultural existence are LIBERAL in most states, this means that the nation is on a trajectory to dissolution by the burden of toleration and acceptance of LAWBREAKING as a norm, a trajectory back to the dark ages of history.

I second or third the BLR in .308 would cover a lot of bases,
