I am starting to really like lever guns. They are the lever action rifles that you usually associate with cowboy movies. Now-a-days most people call them brush guns because they are best for hilly or heavily forested areas.
They do well in this type of terrain because they are short, they carry a lot of shells, they are light, and you can get quick follow up shots. Most tend to be chambered in .30-.30 which is actually an outdated caliber. It's ballistics don't make it very effective out beyond 200 yards. But that is another reason why it works well in rough terrain. I am thinking about buying one. The ones I am looking at are the Marlin 336 and the Rossi Rio Grande. I could afford some of the Winchesters, but most are really expensive now!! Any of the old ones are collectors now and go for a high dollar value. I really just want one as a good deer gun for the north woods.
