Do love some lever action.
I have a couple of Henrys, a .22lr and a .22WMR.
Then there's the Mossberg's, 2 of those, both in .30-30. One is the new 464 and the other is a circa 1980's model 479RR (Roy Rogers Signature Series).
I also have one Marlin, 1894 in .44mag, and two Rossi model 1892's. One in .38spl/.357mag, the other in .454 Casull.
I can't say I have a favorite, though the model 479RR has never been shot, so I really can't throw that into the mix.
The two Henry's are both the stuff squirrels nightmares are made of.
The Marlin 1892 has taken it's fair share of whitetail, and the Rossi .454 Casull is a close second.
The .357 Rossi has not been deer hunting, only because I have more effective choices.
I also have a couple of single-shot .22lr's that I really don't count as lever actions even though they have a lever.
One is a Ted Williams signature single-shot .22lr lever-action and the other is a falling block Winchester model 1885 "Low-Wall" in .22lr.
Every last one are a hoot to shoot, and more than accurate enough for a shtf scenario.
