Lever Guns, what would you choose & why?
Rossi R95 is an improved version of the older Marlin 336 action. Better trigger, better ejector, and no barrel bands. Very good accuracy, too. This doe was downed at a distance of about 125 yards. TR -

In Praise of The Winchester .270. Any good words to say about it ?

This Remington model 660 in .308 was built over 50 years ago but still shoots straight when I do my part. Barrel length is a handy 20 inches. TR -
