What's your favorite lever action rifle?

Winchester 94 in 30-30. Because that's what a lever should be. My favorite creeping through the woods rifle.

Can't say that I have a favorite lever action, but here are three that I'm rather fond of: I like Pre-WWII, Marlin 39 because it was made back when gun markers were serious about making good guns. The M-99 is a .300 Savage and I like the peep sight. The Win 94, .30/30 in center was made back in 1928, and Griffin & Howe dressed it up a bit with circassion walnut stocks and a touch of Kornbrath engraving.

Oops, I almost forgot about this Deer Grade Win 64. which differed from the standard grade with checkered stocks, curved steel buttplate and super grade swivels. They were also higher priced, which is why they never sold very many.

I've always been a huge fan of the lever action rifle. To me, they're practical for nearly any of one's firearm needs, not to mention the classic nature of their design. What is your favorite lever action rifle and/or preferred chambering of that rifle?

My personal favorite has to be the Marlin Model 1895 chambered in 45-70.

Been really enjoying my Marlin 1894 SBL in .44mag. It's a short, handy little gun with a modern twist. Was at the range with it yesterday and it put a smile on my face.

My 1917 production Win. 1894 in .30-30, which was carried by an acquaintance of my Dad in the Mexican Revolution of 1910-20.

Lgs has 250 sav Rem ammo.
Freaked me out
Think I might buy 100 rounds to stash in case a 99 featherweight comes my way.

Seriously.

Had one pass through LGS earlier this yr.
Very cool rifle.
