Alright - finally found this thread again!
I meant to add my 2 cents - but I got distracted, as usual, and came back but couldn't remember which section of the site this thread had been located.
Guess what - that search button actually works!!
So here's my lever action wish list, it's pretty short and that's just because I am trying to be realistic. I have a "just enough to get by" family budget, as both my wife and myself are public school teachers in elementary schools so we really live paycheck-to-paycheck.
1. Marlin 1893, Marlin 1936, Marlin 36 in nice shooting condition - .30-30
2. Marlin 336 in .30-30, from 1949 - 1970's (like to avoid anything newer than late 70's)
3. Mossberg 472 - .30-30
4. Savage 99 - .30-30, .300 Savage, .303 Savage, .308
5. Rossi 92 - another .38/.357, but stainless don't mind 16" or 20" round or octagonal barrel
6. Rossi Rio Grande - .30-30 - why? so I can have a constant Rossi project rifle, of course!
That's all for now, folks! Thanks for listening.
