Some of you guys are too much. He asked a pretty simple question for Pete's sake and you have to make it political. SMDH
Sure you want a lever action?
Some of them can hold a great deal more than 8 rounds.
I think for the spirit of your 30th birthday, you should buy a muzzleloading firearm, one that takes at least 30 seconds to reload.

Okay then let's go full politic here and get this thread shut down. Unless of course that's your goal.
Why the He** can't we just have a normal discussion about the tools
I wouldnt hesitate to buy a henry, i bought a 45-70 henry a couple years ago and couldnt he happier. They dont have the lawyer safeties that youll have on marlin or winchester (modern) , the action is smooth right from the box, theyre accurate and made in the best country ever to exist. Im too nostalgic to buy a japanese winchester, i dont care how good they may be. Its like having your 57 chevy sent to india for a resto, just wrong - a gun built by people who arent allowed to own guns and likely have never fired off even 1 round and never will. Vintage stuff is nice, but you need to search or pay a high price for it. Jm marlins are awesome but i think i would rather have a new henry in the configuration you want rather than just whatever you find used - maybe not exactly what youre looking for. 30-30 is good for 99% of my shooting but your needs may differ. Ive had a marlin 336 since i was 23 and wouldnt sell it for 4x what i paid. I do shoot other leverguns more but the 30-30s i have arent going anywhereI’m open to single shots as well. The caliber is the meaningful part. Not sure why I would ever need more than 8 rounds. Seeing as how it’s a sentimental proposition and not a need, I can afford to wait for a good deal. How are the Henry single shots?
Maybe I dropped a stitch here but it I missed the context of the post causing the admonishment.
wasn't your post friend.He's reading politics into something I said which wasn't political at all and could've help the OP get to his answers sooner.
Also, while the .30-30 might not be a "target" round, I'll bet being able to neck-size-only for a single-shot would go a long way toward improving it.
I'll tell you what's up with that - none other than John Moses Browning's brilliant design is what.I think 30-30 is a perfectly reasonable caliber and I want this rifle to be socially and politically acceptable.
Winchesters are the ones that look like everything is falling out of it when you work the action right? What is up with that?
If you have to worry about your rifle being socially and politically acceptable, you're running with a bad crowd son.I think 30-30 is a perfectly reasonable caliber and I want this rifle to be socially and politically acceptable.

I say Winchester. They can be had used for reasonable prices and I have several that are accurate and reliable. I very much appreciate their slim handiness and think they are much more handsome than the Marlins. But yeah, beyond 200 yards (or 250 with LeverEvolution ammo) 30-30s are not really ethical to hunt with.
