What 45 Colt Lever to Get? Marlin, Rossi, Henry?

[lar45]

I have the 24" Stainless Octagon Rossi in 45 Colt. It does have the 30" twist rifling, but seems to shoot 275s rather well. I've never had a jam or any malfunction with it. If I had it to do all over again, I'd probably go with the 20" 454 or 480.

I have several Rossi levers and my 45LC is one of the most accurate and reliable long guns I have. LOVE IT! With iron sites I can pick off "stuff" at 75-100 yards with 300gn loads all day. No scope needed. Reliable and accurate.

Review all comments. Check your wallet. And buy what you can afford! Most longs you buy, you can always trade around! I think you will be very pleased with a Rossi 45LC lever gun. Get the SST version if you CAN find it! Beautiful gun.

I have to make a small change to your post. I can only speak for the Henry H010, but it also can be cleaned from the breach. Put lever to half cock, remove the lever screw, and bolt pulls right out.

Thanks I was not aware of that I appreciate your correction

I have a couple of JM 24" Cowboys NIB and another JM none-cowboy in .45... again NIB.
Seems like I'm always shooting somebody My brothers, and it's a sweet piece!

Today, I would get the Henry.

I had two older Marlin 1894s in 44 Magnum and they worked OK if you want to look for an old one.
