Lever Action Magnum Express​

Lever Action Magnum Express | Henry Repeating Arms

With the proper bullet, .22 WMR is a super effective cartridge for small to medium-sized game out to about 125 yards. However, hitting a small and possibly fast-moving target at these ranges with open iron sights is a feat that could test even the most experienced of hunters. Magnification is...

If they took me in as a consultant, and asked how I would improve it, I would add stainless option, curved grip, and side loading gate, like this one (only with wood and a shorter top rail):

Then I would come up with a magazine fed one in .17 Hornet or .17 WSM.

I'm really conflicted about Picatinny rails on a lever gun!

Same, but makes a scope way easier. Then again, a scope on a lever gun? Red dot? Fiber?

Better to think of it as a non-bolt hunting gun.

Is that the same as a red dot on a revolver but calling it a round magazine semi auto?

it’s like putting an LS engine in a Chevelle. We all have our limits.

The look is off but it really simplifies scope/mount options.
I like old school aperture sights and tang sights on lever guns a nice tang sight is a classic look

pretty slick.

I'm really conflicted about Picatinny rails on a lever gun!

the original concept of the guide gun is a little different than a traditional lever hunting rifle. compact, large caliber rifle to just have with you for protection in wilderness areas whether you are guiding fishermen and hunters or being a homesteader. i like traditional levers also, and the 45/70 guide gun turns my key. but for this purpose here, i can understand the idea of this gun set up like a scout rifle to mount a red dot or scope for quick, close in shots while both eyes are open. but yeah...don't make that pic rail a regular feature on lever guns.

Putting a scope on a lever gun is like putting a laser sight on a framing hammer.
