WTB: lever gun

[Caveman]

I’m looking to buy a center fire lever action in the Buffalo area. I’m not picky on make/model, but preferably am looking for a .30-30 or .35 rem. 
 

Let me know what you have and how much you want.

There not cheap anymore you can't go wrong with a 30/30 a 35rem is better but ammo is harder to find. I hunt with a 444 Marlin but I reload. There is the 350 legend and there is always the 45/70. Go with the 30/30.

[Caveman]

Thanks Larry. Unfortunately nothing is really cheap anymore.

 

I’m looking for something fast handling with open sights to carry while still hunting brush. I figure a .30/30 or .35 rem should fit the bill.  I reload, so I’m not too concerned about availability.

I absolutely love my Henry 30-30.  Find one.  You won’t regret it.  Light small and very accurate - and very nice wood too.

And the lever revolution shoot great from it. Adds more useable yds.

I was looking at the new Henry side loading .30/30. They make a big loop model too. 

 

Since the Henry is a side eject, is the receiver drilled and tapped if I ever wanted to add a scope?

Mine is scoped.

I've been shooting my Winchester Model #94 30-30 for over 50 years ... never let me down !  Unfortunately they were just Top Eject so no scope !  Just Sayin

They eventually made an angle eject.  I have one.  Bought it when I was 16 and that was 38 years ago.  Great rifle. I use it up north when I am still hunting.  I have a 2.5x scope on it.  Light and short and quick on the target.

I use my dad's rem. 35 lever, it's  just about 60 years old. Love the action and compact size as it is very manuverable in the stand or taking it for a walk.

Go with the 35 then. I use 200gr ftx's in my XP100

If you can’t find what you want used. I would highly recommend the Ruger made Marlin rifles over other choices.

Ruger really did a great job bringing these guns back. Extremely well made. Fantastic fit and finish. Would make the old workers from CT Marlin proud. 
 

Pricey though. The 336 in 30-30 is almost 1,300 bucks list price.

I won the same rifle at a sportsmen raffle. Haven't shot it but man what a cool rifle. 

Good luck to you Caveman.
