The Marlin 1895 SBL 45-70 is my number one choice in this group of eight. It's a beauty!
I really want one but they are stupid hard to find and the one I did find was north of $1800
@@ventarfield7115production will keep ramping up, long waits is definitely the problem.
@@ventarfield7115plus the ammo is a bit expensive for plinking
@@ventarfield7115 mine finally came after 2 years almost to the day.
Got both , either one is awesome but the Henry has a fit and finish 2nd to none, Ruger is very pretty but both are sub 2” at 100yds., (iron) sites, both are winners in my eyes, can’t go wrong with either one
My grandpa left me his pre 64 Model 94 Winchester. It's one hell of a great gun. I was always more partial to the Marlin 336 that my dad has, but I have a new found fondness for the Winchester.
I honestly have been a collector of Lever Actions for some time now. Honestly, my favorites are the Henry Lineup as the levers on them are just right in shape/size. They are smooth and just plain work. The price point is spot on as well. I have tried others, but the feel just isn't the same IMO. Everyone has their preferences, but the Henry gets my personal vote.
I like them....but they are a bit clunky compared to JM Marlins and Winchesters.
And made in the USA
Just picked up my Henry 357 carbine today... I totally agree on the smooth action. Beautiful craftsmanship. Perfect balance. I still love my old Marlin 1894 but this is another level. Enjoy and be safe!
They are nice rifles epically since they can side load now but the Rossi R92's are a better value IMHO. Fit and finish is excellent, they are smooth and there are more accessories available to customize a Rossi than any other lever gun out there because they are the choice of CASS shooters and they like Rossi's because they are more accurate. My brother has a Henry X Model and he shoots tighter with my Rossi besides, they are half the cost of a Henry or a Marlin. Only drawback to the Rossi R92 is scope mounting and use is difficult with the top ejection.
Yeah. They are both nice brands. I went with the Henry due to being American made, thicker rubber butt pad, large loop, front/side load options, and the price in CA being only about $240 more than the Rossi. I'd like to shoot them both to compare :) Be safe out there!
My dad gave me his Winchester model 94 30-30 back in 1970. I appreciated carrying this rifle in heavily wooded hilly areas. I can’t hunt anymore and I’m going to pass it down to my son.
Ruger was disqualified when they raised the price on the Marlin 336 by 300%. Party foul! Blasphemy! Unforgiveable!
Never mentioned the savage 99 I know they don’t make them anymore but man o man what a rifle
Nothing made like it anymore- except maybe the Henry
Elegant rifles but I am not personally a fan of the hammerless design. The 250 Savage is a pretty cool cartridge however.
I like the savage way ahead of it’s time Rotary magazine some drop out on the later models a friend bout a 250-3000 savage 1949 by the numbers I loaded 5 of each 6 types of powder w 87 grain speer bullets 34-35 imr 4064 w 3031 coining in second varget 3rd. So there it is 34.0 of 4064 almost 1/2 at 25 yards 4” low 50 1” low about-1” flat ass at 75 yards and 2” high at 100 still climbing iron sites the 100 yards was about 3” group Mostly my cateract eye but I was impressed to say
An older friend of mines favorite is the 99a in 308. He talks about the safety located at the thumb.
I inherited my grandpa's 30-30 Marlin. While it wasn't free to me, it's a price I wish I could pay over and over. I had no idea about the overabundant value he had in my life, not just because he was my grandpa, but just as a person. That old Marlin lever gun is a bad ass gun. I think about Grandpa every time I get it out of the safe. It's such a fine example of American craftmanship!
@@twintwo1429 I guess it was monetarily free to me, but it cost me a bunch of work and time.
I have a marlin 30 30 original great gun
They need to bring back the Savage 99.
Amen to that!! 🙏🏻
In .308.
I got 1 In .308, picky with ammo but it's probably the coolest gun I own
Also the Winchester M88
They don’t want to sell us anything good just the cheapest thing they can for the most money.
I've got a Marlin 336 in 30-30 of course. Made in the 1950s it's a tack driver.
The BLR is extremely accurate and works flawlessly.
Fond memories of my dad's old Winchester 94 "thutty-thutty", always in the back window of the pickup pretty much our main throw around gun. Funny how technology improves in so many areas but gun designs over 120 years-old still hold up well today.
Rossi 92 is pretty sweet for half the price
agreed!
Also agree 👍
Keep your tactical and rails I'll take my Rossi 92 in .357 and .44mag
I have mine set up as a "Scout Rifle". Has been a lot of fun.
If you've never shot a pre 64 Winchester model 94, then you have missed out.
I have a pre 64 Winchester Model 88 in 308 and it's still pretty slick. It was a hand down from my grandad. Would love to have a pre 64 model 94 but if you find them for sale they are pretty expensive.
And its little brother the rifle that put Winchester back on the map the 9422 .22 cal.!
@@buddyrevelle736 ssss#ss#
I owned one.. Killed my first deer with it. It had belonged to my grandfather. unfortunately someone decided it would look better in their gun case than it did in mine
Amen, Brother. They really don’t make them like they used to.
What bout The Rossi lever guns?
Makes a great option. I love mine.
Model 92 is hard to beat but a slicked up vintage 73 is one fine machine .
The 30:30 is historic, but the 45-70 is awesome. I have both
I'll stand with my 1974 Marlin 336 micro groove hooded front sight in 30 30 Winchester.
I like my Henry .357 it just works, very nice blue & walnut
Grand to have a magnum revolver as a secondary
@@user-qb8mj3nd6x
It’s a Colt Python
I will stick with my Winchester model 94. I wanted to see how it stacked up with newer models. Great video!
Love my Rossi R92 in .357. Smooth as butter never had a hiccup.
Check out Steve's Gunz for some great upgrades. Replacing the buckhorn rear sight with a rear peep sight that goes where the safety sits really makes shooting better.
Same here, bought one blued with 20" barrel almost 3 years ago. Not the model I was looking for, but the one I could get. Same as you found the action silky smooth, and the fit and finish was excellent.
Thoroughly enjoy my R92. None of the hitches I have heard people mention, except it wants to be held upright when chambering... not always possible in a contact situation.
I have my eyes on the new Marlin 336 30-30 from Ruger, this lever gun will be # 1 on lots of people list.
Just waiting for the stainless version to launch.
I love Winchester and have numerous but a 336 is superior to a 94 in almost every way! I can’t for the new Marlins to hit the market in a few months! Ruger is doing such a great job!
Be nice if the price is right.
I have a 2 other lever guns... I love my Marlin 1895 in 45/70 stainless, even though some say the quality was down in the last few years (mines 6 y/o). I too have the Ruger Marlin 336 on my want list.
I inherited my grandfather's Winchester model '53 chambered in 44-40. Gramps bought it in 1927. He was a registered guide in Maine as well as a farmer. The short rifle was called a "brush gun". My father used it to literally put meat on the table during The Great Depression. I used it hunting as well and will pass it down to my own son.
You are avery lucky man to have a son who is interested in even owning your guns right now. I will need to sell my dad's and Grandpa's guns because nobody wants them anymore, we have a very dysfunctional family sometimes with continuity. Too many clashing ideas in one family. This is dumb, because they will be worth a fortune later at some time.
@@dwayneelizondomountaindewh1465 Wow, Dwayne, I'm so sorry! Anyone in the "distant" family that might be interested?
@@tomperkins5657 Not really, but thaks buddy.
@@tomperkins5657 It's not something I need to do now, but some day it's coming and I dread that.
@@dwayneelizondomountaindewh1465 Ugh. Our youngest son, in his teen years used to say, "If it wasn't for dysfunction, this family wouldn't have any function." Smart a$$...
I’ll stick with my 1951 Winchester 94. Smooth as butter
I'll stay with MARLIN. ANY DAY.
Tried to buy a couple of guide guns and a camp carbine. I just couldn't bring myself to own a gun that didn't have the front and rear sights lined up properly. I really wonder who was running the factory. Maybe one eye dyslexic guy. Ruger lines the sights up for only 600 dollars more 😅
I hear you. I have a 336 microgroove hooded front site made I 72 or 74. Bought 2 at K mart. Kept this one NIB till some asshoke robbed my house for my complete in factory display case Buck hunter knives and my Marlin . This one has had 6 rounds fired through. All dead in hits at 190 yards out of the box.. I'll stuck with this one. I'm 80 and will have it the rest of my life. Dandahermit
You mean ruger..
@@greybone777if your sights werent lined up you were looking at a remington. Not a ruger. I had the same issue on my 2012 336ss sent it back an now it is flawless.
Depends who made it.
I'm fortunate enough to own Henry, Rossi and Winchester lever guns. All work great. It's hard to beat the Rossi 92 due to the cost. But the Henrys are fine and the Miroku Winchesters are beautiful.
I'm really wanting a 94 deluxe short rifle they are beautiful to die for but 2000 euros damn i'm never gonna financially recover from this 😂😂
@@suprajet well... I couldn't resist and ordered a winchester 94 deluxe short rifle it gets here tomorow can't wait to see it 😁
Miroku...?
If anything goes wrong or wears out on your rifle, I hear henry has better customer service and a lifetime warranty, might be something to consider
@@DUCKSAREEVILLLLLLLLThey make excellent rifles and shotguns out of Japan.
They have made many gorgeous Browning over & under shotguns. Also have made some excellent lever action rifles sold under the Winchester label.
Winchester's model 94 will always hold a special place in my heart, but it makes me so excited to hear that the 1895 is being brought back from the dead.
Great rundown on lever guns man; thank you!
That Marlin is something else. Just looks so slick.
The Marlin 1895 was at its highest popularity in the 1990s. It never came close to dying. Look at the sell numbers. The Neo Win 1886, the same.
LOL it was pretty populare in 1895, Pilgrim.
The new Ruger-Marlin 1895 SBL they can't keep up with demand--literally fly off the shelves and many are going for nearly double MSRP.
@@FlyingHighVeteran I waited for 2 yrs for Marlin to make the 1895 Trapper available and got it this year for $1100 at RK, it’s the best fitting rifle I’ve ever felt for me.
Have had a Marlin 444 for 30 years now. Just bought Henry Big Boy 45-70. Both are great. Really can't find anything one has over the other.
Henry rifles stay true to the Lever-action design while not breaking the bank, and their Big Boy lineup is gorgeous.
Henry's are pretty expensive where I am compared to a Marlin or Rossi. Winchesters have gone way up in price especially older pawn shop ones. I like the Henrys, just can't afford one.
My 336 35 Remington is Supremely Accurate
Mine also. Loves leverevolution ammo.
Excellent video. I love the levers
I'm in love for my Winchester '94 - 30/30 (first gun bought for my gun collection) but you may also have a look to Boarbuster made from Pedersoli in 45/70 Gov. ...great piece..
I like the Henry X but the POF lever action is intriguing.
I have the All weather Henry in 45.70 absolutely love it and just ordered a Pic rail for it.. The price is more then reasonable now I am looking to get the 30.30 model
I’m a big Henry fan but will get the new Marlin/Ruger 44 mag when out
like 45/70 lever
Henry makes the most beautiful rifles an average person could hope to own.
The golden boys are smooth and accurate
my sons bought me the 44 mares leg (Golden) Its beautiful@@truspirit1925
Don't forget the 410axe, great for the quad and kayak, B.T.W.,own 4 Henrys',GODBLESS
I've had a Henry Big Boy in .357 for years and it's fantastic. I have my eye on the X.
I have the Marlin 1895SBL, I did some upgrades like sights, leather buttstock wrap, trigger work. Engraving.
Just found me a new in da box 336, I'm super stoked after wanting one for years!
I love my Winchester 94 in 38-55. Holds 9 + 1 of that powerful yet shoulder friendly round.
Groovy video.
I chose the Win. 94 in 45 LC... to go with my 1858 Remington 45 LC conversion.
Model 94 is a. Awesome first rifle in 30:30. All around and has. Great Accuracy out to 150 yards with no scope after that you need a scope. It has put more meat on the Table than any other caliber except the 22 which is a small game getter. My 410 shotgun single barrel has. Taken small game as well as large game with a slug
Most of these are either currently not existing in the market or stupidly expensive. I stick to Henry's. Butter smooth action and they are at least getting some product on the shelves (albeit very slowly).
Exactly. What kind of American buys a Browning made in Japan, Portugal, or Belgium? The rifle should be made in The United States, or not made at all.
Love my Marlin 1895SS from the early 90s 💯👍🏼👌🏼
POF Tombstone is a solution to a question no one asked. $2000 for a lever action tacticool 9 mm? LOL.
I have a Henry 30-30 side gate. Just got it back from Henry cause it had a bad extractor. Now it’s perfect.
My wife's collection of Henry .22 and her new .357 octagon bbl case hardened beauty! Both guns have sweet wood and buttery actions.
For all those looking to aquire the older guns I remind you to SET A PRICE BEFORE HAND and hit the local and travel to auctions and Gun shows. I just found my dream M1 carbine for a sweet price!
Walked into a gun-store in Bozeman to buy a Henry .357....NEVER knew that they made a .22 Lever! Bought that..AND it's so much fun~~~ This Summer I plan on going back to buy the .357. That Octagon barrel just looks...right to me. Leaning towards the Carbine....but will see how it feels~~~ :-)
Bought my model 94 when my birthday said I was old enough 50 years ago. Still my favorite all around gun.
My 1970s MARLIN 336 in 35 REM. Is my winner. Micro groove accuracy and sweet feel in hand.
Have one as well. Only thing was there is no where to find ammunition. Luckily, my co-worker shoots this as well, and he does reloading, and I have had to do that as well.
New subscriber here!
I'm interested in a few of them! Liking the .357 mag I think it was the big boy X but I really need to handle them to come down to the best 3 or 5! And there's when the fun starts to narrow it down from there!
I’ll take my pre safety JM 44 mag or 357 mag all day. Good reliable shooters
I do not understand why a person will carry a rifle and settle for it being a pistol cartridge caliber.
@@The93ssfd because they work.
The west was won with pistol cartridges, 30-30 didnt fill every gun safe like it does now adays back when lever guns where a tool of daily life and death
Damn safeties wrecked the Marlins, ugly and stupid.
@@The93ssfd There are a few reasons which probably don't apply to most people, but apply to the following:
A .357 in a lever action has the ballistic equivalent to a 30-30, within 100 yards. The .357 cartridge is much newer than the lever action design, which is why they didn't originally come with that chambering. Many people do not take shots past 100 yards with iron sights, or they are hunting in topography/environments where visibility that far out is impossible, like in heavy woods or hilly areas.
Cowboy-action shooting competitions are done with pistol caliber lever actions.
Having a rifle chambered in the same cartridge as your pistol means only having to bring one type of ammo on your outing, whether it CAS or hunting.
Some people do not want to use a shotgun for property defense, or go through the paperwork of getting a handgun. A carbine chambered in pistol cal offers stopping power without the excessive long range associated with rifle-specific cartridges, or the kick of a shotgun.
There is always going to be a "better gun" for anything anyone does, regardless of what gun they choose. But those are some of the reasons why people choose pistol cal rifles/carbines.
I have a Winchester Model 94 in .30/30, Lever Action Centerfire Rifle that has a rear ejection system and holds 6 rounds in the tubular magazine and 1 in the chamber.
Okay-?
And?
Can’t beat the Winchester model 94.
The Win 92 was always a smoother and stronger action compared to the 94.
Henry model X 357
The model 92 is also chambered in other calibers like .25-20 and .32-20.
I had Henry's 22 mag 17 hmr and big boy 44 mag. The 44 mag has a solid brass receiver and the golden boys just plated brass. The only problem with a solid brass receiver is that it will shoot loose after thousands of bullets but Henry is such an awesome firearms company that they will retool your gun at no charge.
Love my Henry All Weather. It's a thumper!
Thank you 😊
Love the 45-70 Ruger Marlin 16" barrel Trapper, and the older Marlin 444.
Id thought the new ruger marlin 30-30 would have been mentioned. Its nice.
I have that one but I think their 45-70 is much more popular now. It should be #1 which proves this channel is bogus.
Good, thx
I inherited my fathers pre 64 Marlin 336 chambered in .35 Rem. I make it a point to bring her out once a year. The memories of Dad and his rifle are sad but sweet.
Love my Winchester octigon barrel 30-30, my 444 marlin, and my Henry golden bor
Few things are more American than a good Lever Gun. Keep it up.
I got two 1894's. 25.35. made 1905. And a 30.30 made 1907. Nothing new beats those 26" octagon barrels.😊😊
I love shooting my Henry Big Boy X .357. Very well made rifle and very accurate.
Love my Henry rifles. Can't wait to get my hands on one of those All-weather models.❤
That last one looked nice!
Awesome I have the model 94 3030 Winchester I love the lever action rifles.
Which lever action rifle you will vote for?
I don´t know but every one of them is an art piece
Marlin 1895CB, if they ever get around to it
Mossberg 464 SPX. You forgot that one.
JM marlin pre safety 336 35 rem
Jm stamped Marlin 1894 in 44 Magnum
ROSSI PUMA .454 FOR THE WIN!
Marlin 1895MR in 450 Marlin. A 405gr bullet going 2000 fps. Accuracy good past 250yds.
You may have seen this elsewhere, I plan on inserting this when ever I see some one talking about Henry. I want to state that I can not believe any company out there, will come even close to the customer service that Henry has. On 1/30/23 they completely wowed me on a gun (.44 BB) that I have had for 13 years, lets just say that there was a little something wrong with it, I had sent it in 2 or 3 times to have it repaired, they did for free each time.
I Happened to buy one of their 45-70 in early January, and noticed that they made a improvement on it, that would have resolved the issue on mine. I emailed them asking them if they could retrofit mine with the improvement, and they replied back same day, they are going to, after they receive mine, send me a brand new one (received 2/24).
I have since added to my collection

Its almost like I was trying to fill up one of their Beautiful custom gun cabinets that hold 8, which I have also ordered. BTW these are all made in USA.
The favorite lever action rife I have ever had was an original 1894 in 32-20. It was extremely accurate, and a pleasure to shoot. Unfortunately, I made a stupid mistake, and traded it away. Now they're very expensive.
We all have that one gun we kick ourselves for letting go of.......
@@faelwolf1177 OMG, don't you and I unfortunately know it! Just think of how happy you made someone else down the road a bit LOL
Got a Henry Big Boy X in .357 Mag last year. So far I have only killed paper and cans but she is a lot of fun.
was that assault paper you killed ?
I am waiting for either a Marline or a Henry to be more available in .357 Mag. Seems like everyone is selling the .44 Mag, but .357 is still hard to find and commands quite a premium.
Rossi for the (affordable) win. Still looking for one in .44 Mag to keep my other three (38/357, .45 LC and .454 Casull) company…….and I wouldn’t mind picking up a Rossi in .480. But since they only built about 100 of those, that might not happen. 😊
Federal Way discount guns has one. 44 mag with a 20 inch blued barrel.
Here, in Brazil, I'm glad to see that you buy Brazilian guns.
@@daltonagre Because the days of affordable USA-made lever guns are over. I have a Rossi. It’s not slick out of the box like a Henry, but at half the price I don’t care.
@@dumbbo1 The Rossi is not half the price of a Henry, it's about $150 less over a Henry, my Henry Big Boy cost me $900 and I just picked up a Rossi for $750.
You are fortunate that you picked up a Rossi in .454 Casull when you did. Been looking for one, new, for over three years now. The Rossi rep I spoke to on the phone swears they are making them, however, no gun shop that I have contacted has seen them in over three years.
And yes, Rossi for the affordable win!
Would love to see Marlin do another run of the Cowboy Limited Series. I have the .357 and 44 Mag but would like to get 45 colt and 30-30 calibers. They are very difficult to find now.
I have a Henry in 41 magnum!! Too cute to shoot!🤠
Funny when I was a kid started out deer hunting with an old Winchester model 94 in 30-30, actually hated lever guns at the time. Now that I'm much older I've come back to the updated classic lever guns. Just picked up the new Ruger-Marlin 1895 SBL in 45-70, it is so well made now compared to previous.
I don't agree with the Bishop lever gun as being number 1, that's more for the high end collector as most sportsman are not going to drop 3K for a lever gun. However, the Marlin I bought took me nearly a year to get at just below MSRP--most are going for nearly double MSRP and they sell immediately when they come in.
Nice overview
All of them. I have a 45-70 Henry all weather but I never shot it . Looks so good I could just collect them. I gotta go to an outside range one of these days though
I own a rossi 44 and will definitely be getting more lever action rifles. Rest in peace DMX
Where my dogs at ,we right here dog
Henry rifles hands down, but love my 1895 trapper.
I have marlin made 1894 cst and 30-30 with a safety love both. The 1894 cst I have on 38 special or 357 black furniture but I also bought the blue wood grain as well 16.5 inch barrel greet cool fun gun
I have an original 1894 Winchester mfg. in 1905, it still is the favorite rifle in my armory for white tail up to 200 to 300 yrds.
I love them all….i have old school , new repo types, tactical models….all are great. Still hunt with mine. But I do love my wood stock oldies a little bit more.
Love my Henry 357. Wood stock and classic as well as my Winchester 30 30 from 1951. Love the classics and the furniture!
Winchester Miroku 1886 45-70....Full length Magazine, Octagon Barrel, Pistol grip,Crescent butt plate, tang sight and in my case at 80 years old a 3A side mounted scope....Sorry about the scope but that is the was it goes at my age....
Kinda hard to beat the Winchester Model '94 in .30-.30. especially in forest cover. Mine gets dual use as a defensive arm, ( off deer season ) and as my 'go - to' for Coastal Blacktail in the Cascades, and Whitetail, further East. At close range, using 180 grain loads, it'll suffice for both Elk and Mule deer, but typically I'm using a .30 -'06 bolt action when hunting these species on the Columbia Plateau. Still, you never know when a 'target of opportunity' will present itself while targeting Whitetails, with the '94 in your hands. I carry 150 grains, and 180 grains into the field and keep both at hand.
Does it have a lot of recoil? Never had the privilege of firing a lever-action rifle, nor any rifle chambered in 30.30.
@thecowboy9698 most rifles chambered in 30-30 will be lever actions. The round was designed for use in tubular magazines, which is why the tip of the bullet is blunt. Once in a while you will see a single shot or something chambered in 30-30, but it isn't very common. That being said, a traditional (wood and steel) 30-30 lever gun is slightly heavier than modern style guns, which affects what you feel. It has a kick that's more like a push. It might hurt if you were shooting without a shirt on, but the recoil is low enough that successive shots can be fired with minimal target alignment disruption.
The Winchester model 94 in .30-30 is simply the eleventh commandment.
I use a 308 bolt action, been wanting a 30-30.. or 357mag lever, or ..45-70 but I've found no need for me yet for a 30-06
@@thecowboy9698 There isnt much recoil, but the muzzle jump is typically worse than a bolt gun. I had a 6.5x55 sporter for awhile, its weight was similar to my 30-30 and the felt recoil was less, even though any chart would have said otherwise. In short the recoil is very manageable, though somewhat more than you'd think.
Learned to shoot with Marlin 336 30-30. Love it and won’t take for it.
I like the pistol grip stock.
I paid a whopping $100 back in 2006 at a community yard sale for mine. Best gun purchase Ive ever made! Timing is everything!
My Marlin 336 was $138.00 from Kmart.
Buy a rossy it is a great gun 👏👏👏👏 and save money 💰💰👍👍👍👍
I like wave reactions
I remember driving to high school in the early 70’s with an ithaca m37 and a model 94 in a gun rack in my truck and a buck 110 on my belt and didn’t give it a second thought, it’s just how it was. School is where I learn to swallow Copenhagen snuff spit without hiccuping.
My father left me his 94 and Deerslayer. I don't think the Ithaca has ever been fired.
