Ruger 96 in 44 MAG is a tack driver! It has a rotary magazine. TR

Whitney Kennedy is what I mentioned, they were the same size frame

In terms of mechanical pictures, here a few from Maxwells Book on Lever actions. There are many more in his book…

Does that book by chance show the inner workings of the 1878 burgess?

Its also pretty scarce and spendy when you find one.

Got the 45-70 out for a hog hunt... About a 25 yard shot with the 350 grain RN Hornady. Instant drop! A great way of shopping for pork.

The octo barrel stops and transitions to round profile? Thats different.

Gorgeous though

Winchester 1892 short rifle in .44 Rem Mag. Surprisingly accurate with irons at 100 yards and feeds 240 hard casts like butter. It’s going to see some whitetail and bear action.

Found this stray the other day…. Looked pretty lonely so decided to take it home. Should be fun!

 

[Wolfshead]

Getting close to that time of year again!
Can’t wait to be carrying this rifle in the woods again!
I realize it’s not Monday, but we need more Lever pics!

You have pointed bullets in the stock carrier? Do you do one in the tube and one in the chamber or what?

…tipped

They are Hornady’s 160 FTX bullets. They are an interlock bullet, and have a soft tip that is designed for leveraction rifles with tubular magazines.
They call it their “flex tip technology “.
It has a .331 G1 BC and my handloads with the Leverevolution powder are averaging 2360 fps MV. They shoot very accurately, and make my rifle a 200 yard gun.

It should be a two hundred yard gun with cast lead bullets.

Now lets get back to the rifle. I assume thats a Winchester and is 30-06 caliber? From the picture I could not tell if they were hard plastic tips or FTX's. I do shoot some of those in 35 Rem and 30-30. My 30-30 is also a 200 yard gun but not near as pretty as the ones Shrapnel posts.

If you mean the @Wolfshead rifle, it cannot be a .30-06. .30-30 or .32 spcl are highly likely.

 

[noharleyyet]

My guess is a 35 Rem 200 gr FTX
