Coming full circle back to lever actions and single actions

[blue32]

I went with an Uberti Cattleman and 1873 lever, both in 32-20. I can plink with the Cattleman and do all of the above with the 1873. I can reload for less than the cost of reloading .38 spl. While you have to reload to enjoy the hyphenated cartridges to the fullest extent, they are nostalgic, effective, and keep you from becoming one of those lemmings who constantly lament the 22lr supply.

Its been at least 10 years since I've owned a single action----had lever actions but they were never my thing.

Have been eyeing a Super Blackhawk at the shop for a month now---just need to figure a way to take it home.

I had a convertible .357/9mm Blackhawk for a while. It was a little less accurate with the 9mm cylinder but not bad. Still stayed on a paper plate freehand at 80 feet. I bought it to go with my Marlin 1894c but then sold it to fund a 4" SP101

Recently got a Rossi 92 in 357/38 with a 24" octagon barel. Only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner... VERY fun gun!

JM stamped marlins are highly regarded.
Pre 64 winchesters as well.
Browning BLR is a beautiful gun, but has a price to go with it as well.
New winchesters are pricey as well.

There are folks who want nothing to do with new Marlin lever guns made after the Remington takeover, but i have found the lever guns to be fine with a little bit of action work.
I have a Remlin GBL, installed a wild west happy trigger kit, had the pull adjusted down to 3lbs, installed a one piece ejector, aluminum mag follower, xs rail and burris red dot along with skinner peep sights that can be seen threw the red dot. Gun is rock solid and a dream to shoot. Wild pigs do not like so much.
