The weekend is here and I am back on the country retreat and I can use what ever I want.
Some are overlooking the fact that there is no universal "BEST". Mac2 asked why a lever. For some it is the best choice. It is not an "EBR" or handgun with the restrictions those classes of firearms carry in some parts of the country. A lever is less likely to draw negative attention at the range or from anti-gun friends and family. It looks like grandpa's deer rifle. A well trained operator can put rapid, sustained, accurate fire on target.
BTW, some would disagree that 5.56/223 is a real rifle cartridge.
03Shadowbob,
Humor me for a little bit. Build yourself a fake wall with 2X4 studs, good quality 5/8ths drywall, and fiberglass insulation. Back up to across the room distance and put a birdshot then a #4 through the wall and let us know what happens. As much as I disagree with briansmithwins he is correct when he said this "5.56 with a light jacketed varmint bullet is less likely to over penetrate".
It is a choice you make it based on your circumstances. For some the pistol caliber lever is the right one.
