Lever gun for wife to be hunted with

[Kay0404]

Looking for a lever gun for my wife, preferably 357/44 for SE whitetail hunting, just seeing what might be out there. She loves my 45/70's but won't get behind it even with reduced loads.. Thanks guys!

I have a brand new Uberti .357 case color short stroke 20", a brand new .45 Colt Marlin Special Edition. or a Winchester 30/30 for that matter.
All have box except Winchester. I am not trying to sell these, but to get your wife set up I would let one go.

I'm glad I read this. I was worried by the wording of your title that you were going to hunt your wife with a lever gun.

Has she tried any of those calibers you're looking at? Maybe take her to a gun store and see if they have anything that fits and she's comfortable handling.

Lol, yes the wording can be played around with the meaning… some days it goes both ways.. lol

I have a 450 Marlin I will sell you if you're mad at her. You can tell her it's not a 45/70...

 

[Kay0404]

Lol, she would probably shoot it once.. just out of spite, then I'd get to hear about how that one kicks.. what I don't get is that she hunts with her choices of .243, 6.5CM, .270, and .30-06.. and my 45-110 Sharps kicks much less than her .30-06.. just something in her mind about the size of the projectile I guess.

"just something in her mind about the size of the projectile I guess."

Size matters..... ;-)

A Browning BLR in 243 Would be a Excellent Choice.

Used Browning BLR LW 243

Bought this at a gun show about 3 years ago thinking maybe my daughter will get into hunting. It’s not a show piece and shows marks, wear, old rust spots. Was definitely well hunted is my guess. I’ve never even fired it. Has the straight stock (not pistol grip version). Came with the Leupold...

I had actually mentioned to her a BLR as my father has several Belgian BLRs, but she wants a "western" lever action. What it really is that she loves my JM Marlins and I missed out/passed on a .357 JM Trapper earlier this year because it was a bit rougher and needed more love and time than I thought the price was worth.

I have a Marlin 336 in 35 rem with several boxes of Lever Evolution to go with it if you are interested.
