Which of the two manual actions do you prefer?
Personally, I cannot chose. I love my Moist Nugget and I love the way the bolt sounds, but there is something really iconic and awesome about my Dad's Winchester Model 94 30-30.
My Bolt action is easier to use, the lever gun is a little tougher to get moving (I need to liberally apply oil to the action.)
The Levergun just feels easier to point, and there is something about how the lever works.
It's hard for me to choose if not impossible.
So Flood, what do you prefer?
-
Bolt action. I love my Type 53.

glorious muzzle loaded master race

If you're riding a horse or driving a car you can use a lever action with one hand. Otherwise I'd say bolt.
-
Bolt actions are more conventional, but levers are fun.

Well, if you're riding a horse you can work the lever action with one hand while holding the reigns in the other if you're good enough. Bolt action needs two hands on the gun but it's easier to stay in the scope if shooting from a concealed location.

Edited by HurtfulTurkey: 3/17/2013 4:35:48 AMLever actions are cooler, but bolt action is better for combat. You own a Mosin Nagant? I had one's stock explode in my face after a friend and I shot it too much one afternoon, but damn was it a fun gun.

Depends on the application. For a good deer rifle, I'd prefer a bolt action. For a stalking/hog gun, I'd like a lever.
