but I doubt it will matter with most of the game in Alabama

and if you want my honest opinion, bolt guns are really no worse that lever gats in *most* applications.

if your intent on buying a lever action though, I assume you already have ammo for the 6.5?

The problem you'll run into with a lever gun is you're limited on projectile profiles

^very tru

You pretty much have to run a flat nose bullet

that or you will have to treat it like a single shot breachloading rifle if you want to fire spitzers.

They make plastic tip spitzer projectiles but they're uncommon

honestly, bolt guns are probably just better all-round. Lever guns are fun, but they really are 100 yard guns, maybe 200 because of the limited bullet choices.

There is a reason why in the late 1800s/ early 1900s, every major military on the planet switched to bolt-action rifles

It’s a mag fed lever gun

Is it that Browning BLR?

Henry long ranger

So that doesn’t matter

interesting, im not familiar with that one.

Hmm

I just love Henry’s

So balanced and easy to shoulder

Are you a handloader?

Also good butt pad

No but I want to get into that

yo it has a detachable mag? O_O that's neat

Yes

very nice gun

And lever guns are faster than boltys

You can cook up .308 loads for virtually anything in the way of medium sized game and .308 projectiles are very easy to find

well, to the point of speed, I'd say it comes down to practice. in most cases, most people shoot fast on a lever gat, but I have seen some wicked times on bolt guns too.

Imma think more about it

right, and you have more types of projectiles for .308 such as ap and tracers

gl Winchester, whatever you do, I am sure you'll love it

The only issue I see with making that switch is going to be from a maintenance standpoint

Thanks for the help

But that's a separate issue

That basically comes down to parts and magazine availability

I've some fast bolt throwers

That shoot accurately as well

Semi auto Uzi was for sell at the Gunshow for 5k...Oof

Another thing about maintenance is takedown and cleaning. Leverguns usually have a lot of small pins and screws involved, which most either find frustrating or enjoyable to deal with.

Picked up a ruger sp100 wheelgat

nice m8
