I have two lever guns. One is a new Henry .357 Big Boy Steel Classic 20”. Pairs nicely with a Ruger GP100 4.2” 7 shot. My other is a JM stamped 1976 pre-safety Marlin 1894 .44 magnum 20”. Bluing is just about perfect, furniture was a little rough, so I carefully refinished with boiled linseed oil and a hard carnauba paste wax. Both are keepers and will go to my grand kids (eventually).

The Winchester 94 AE is also a sweet .357.

Luv my Rossi R92 357, 16.5" barrel, hardwood furniture and a blued steel finish: lightweight, accurate and rugged. A super reliable Lever Action for all seasons!

Because for $1600.00 for a 357 or 33 magnum.why not just buy a 45/70

Please keep your photos and descriptions coordinate. You show the same model flashing from pic to pic, sometimes with a loading gate & sometimes not.

have many, but my favorite is the Marlin 1894 Cowboy set up for competition. Use a Henry Big Boy steel for hunting. The BLR's are nice, especially the .22. All lever guns are great.

The reason their ignored is because of the price

I have two favorite levers for two entirely different reasons. The first, which I purchased new abut a half century ago, is one of the all steel Browning BLR's (built by HOWA in Japan) in 7mm Rem Mag carrying a gifted prototype competition quality scope (never released to the public) from Tasco. With custom loads, back then when I was at the height of my shooting prowess, it could routinely produce 3 round 'cold bore' groups at 200 yards that you could cover with a quarter- still could if my eyes and hand/eye coordination hadn't aged. With the heavier weight Nosler Partitions it can kill anything in North America without the muzzle blast and recoil of say the 300 Win Mag or Weatherby.<br>My other 'fav' is a new Heritage stainless 92 pattern 24" octagon barreled .44 mag, It seems to be a <b>better</b> quality Rossi as the action, fit & finish, and wood stock were all terrific, right out of the box. It also carries 12 rounds in the tube. It has open Buckhorn sights, but with the long sight radius, game can be taken out past 200 yards, assuming you can shoot;) Some might question the efficacy of the long barrel but for my particular off hand style and a tightly wrapped sling, I've found the 'balance' quite good. Btw, in my locale the .44mag is quite popular and the price differential with quality .357 is not bad at all, & the performance is about double.👍
