The original assault rifle!!!

I literally refer to my leverguns as "Cowboy Assault Rifles"

which one of us dinosaurs don't have a soft spot in our hearts for lever action winchesters and single action revolvers, too much gunsmoke, ponderosa, rifleman,wagon train, when we were young

The marlin levers in 308 marlin and 338 are nice lever options with a little more punch. I like having the right tool for the job. My cousins kids shoot a lot of whitetail with 223 and sometimes it isn't pretty and sometimes they drop. If you hunt woods with short shots that 30/30 will likely work but a little extra range and pop is nice.
