What Is a Lever-Action Rifle?
A lever-action rifle uses a lever, located around the trigger guard area, to load and unload cartridges into the chamber. This system is distinct from bolt-action rifles, which require manual operation of a bolt handle. The first lever-action guns were introduced in the mid-19th century, but it was Benjamin Tyler Henry who perfected it, leading to the creation of the iconic Henry rifle. Lever-action rifles quickly gained popularity for their rapid-fire capability, far outpacing the slower, single-shot muzzleloaders of the era.
What is a Lever-Action Rifle Good For?
Lever-action rifles are often used for hunting. They provide quicker follow-up shots due to the lever mechanism that, unlike bolt-action rifles, doesn’t require a hunter to move their dominant hand from the firing position. Common calibers include .22LR, which is great for small game such as rabbits and squirrels, .30-30 for deer, and .45-70 for larger game like boar and elk. Their compact size and fast cycling action make them ideal for hunting in brushy areas where swing space is limited.
In cowboy action shooting, lever-action rifles hold a special place. This competitive shooting sport mimics the gunfights and scenarios of the Old West, requiring participants to use firearms typical of that era. The .357 lever-action models, like the Rossi R92, for instance, are particularly favored in this community for their versatility and manageable recoil.
For tactical applications, modern lever-action rifles are being increasingly adapted. Tactical lever-action rifles are enhanced with features like rails for mounting optics, threaded barrels for suppressors, and synthetic stocks for better durability. The Marlin 336 Tactical and the Henry Big Boy X Model both cater to those needing a versatile, reliable rifle that can handle home defense situations and fieldwork.
Who Makes the Best Lever-Action Rifles?
When it comes to top-quality lever-action rifles, a few brands stand out. Henry Repeating Arms is celebrated for their meticulously crafted Henry rifles, like the popular Henry Big Boy in .44 Mag, .357 Mag, and .45 Colt as well as Henry .45-70 large-frame rifles. Rossi offers affordable and reliable options like the Rossi R92 and R95, which is favored for its functionality and ease of use. Marlin Firearms brings to the table both classic models like the Marlin 336 and modern options like Marlin 1895 SBL.

FAQs
Why choose a bolt-action over a semiautomatic?
Bolt-action rifles offer superior accuracy and reliability, with a simpler mechanism that is easier to maintain. The manual operation reduces the chances of jamming or other malfunctions.
Why choose a lever-action over a bolt-action rifle?
The choice between a lever-action and bolt-action rifle depends on the intended use. Lever-action rifles provide faster cycling and follow-up shots, making them excellent for hunting in brushy areas. Meanwhile, bolt-action rifles generally offer greater precision, making them better suited for long-distance shooting. Plus, the bolt is much more convenient to cycle during benchrest shooting than the lever.
What are popular calibers for lever-action rifles?
Common calibers for lever-action rifles include .22LR for small game, .30-30 for deer, and .45-70 for larger game like elk and boar. Other popular calibers include .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum, often used in both hunting and cowboy action shooting.
Are lever-action rifles good for tactical applications?
Yes, modern lever-action rifles are being increasingly adapted for tactical applications. With features such as rails for mounting optics, threaded barrels for suppressors, and synthetic stocks for better durability, they combine the classic lever-action mechanism with contemporary tactical enhancements.
