I am a lever lover.
If you have to have a bolt, get a Browning BLR.
My gun acquisitions have stopped since I got back into riding. LOL. I am sadly having trouble finding time to shoot and ride as much as I like.
I’ve got a Nylon 66, a 795 Marlin, the 336, a RRA AR15 and a Saiga AK.
Each one has characteristics that I enjoy, but there something elemental about the 336.
