No arguments with any of the comments above, but lever actions can be fun under other circumstances.
Cowboy action shooters enjoy the speed of a lever action rifle in pistol calibers, as you can tell from this clip. The reproduction of an 1873 Winchester in .357 Magnum could still be used as a hunting rifle like any other .357, but you can't fire 10 shots in less than 2 seconds with a bolt gun:

(I'm guessing the shooter was using lightly loaded .38 Specials. Most of us do.)
