Hey guys, I'm looking for a 1894, 95, cowboy style levergun that's chambered for 30-06... I'm having a hard time finding one.
Any help??
Thanks!
 
As far as I know, the BLr is the only levergun chambered in .30-06.
You won't find a "traditional" (i.e. tube-fed) levergun for the '06.
The Browning is a fine gun, but not exactly "cowboy".
 
another 30-06 lever gun

The Winchester model 1895, both original and the recent re-issue, was made in 30-06. I once had an original in 30-40, but not an '06. It's a cool rifle, especially if you're a fan of Teddy Roosevelt.
 
Miragetex is right. The Winchester/Browning levers were chambered in 30.06, among other calibers.
 
But are any in current production?
I know they reintroduced the .405, but any of the others?
I suppose it'd be a decent choice though if you can find one. Although it'd probably cost more than a new Browning.
 
No not current catalogue item but available, they have made them in 3040 , 270 and 30 06 as well as the current 405
Last time i got a GunList I saw several 1895's listed. I have a pair. a original 35 winchester and a 3003 both from the same guy. I stopped at garage sale and saw some gun cases asked if they had guns too the oldtimer said maybe, I gave him my card and said i would love to see them and would bring him some cold beer when he called.
a month later went back and bought them both and some more for 1100 bucks.
 
Model 1895, seven for sale on gunsamerica and another three on auctionarms plus two in .405. Big Medicine indeed.
 
I just picked up a Browning BLR strait stock in 308 for $520 granted it was a going out of buisness sale but it should be around 650 normally and they had a second one in 30-06. If you're in the CA bay area it's worth headin over there you'll never find a new one for $520. I'll tell ya how it goes my waiting period still has 8 days left on it. :cuss:
