I told you I don't have a badge. Just a stupid social worker patch (the patch is stupid not me). Excuse me, the phones ringing. It's probably the president again.

1) Marlin Model 39A Mountie.
2) Marlin 1895 GS
3) Marlin 1894 in 44 Rem Mag

with a 30-30 Winni or Marlin option for #3... #1 & 2 might be my top two regardless of action type.

Ratltrap · « **Reply #32 on:** January 04, 2007, 09:48:01 AM »

y'all are pretty boring!

How about some classic Winchesters:

an original Henry iron frame - in 44 rimfire of course!
an original 1886 full stock carbine in 33WCF
and an original 1895 Deluxe in 30-06 for one to shoot

Warhawk · « **Reply #33 on:** February 13, 2007, 07:09:27 PM »

1) the Marlin 39A that belonged to my dad

2) Browning B92 in 44 Magnum

3) Browning 1886 in 45/70

bigdoggy · « **Reply #34 on:** February 19, 2007, 04:55:37 PM »

I would take these three calibers. 30-30,7mm rem. mag, 510 kodiak express. That would cover my needs

Rev Buck · « **Reply #35 on:** February 21, 2007, 05:02:29 PM »

Actually I do have 3 at the moment:
1) Browning BLR in .308 Win.
2) Marlin 1895M in .450 Marlin
3) Marlin LTD-V in .45/70

Rev (actually the BLR belongs to my son now so I guess I need another lever to replace it...was thinking .45/70 Cowboy?)

...I'd be pretty pi$$ed off.....

John Spartan · « **Reply #37 on:** February 25, 2007, 01:21:18 PM »

It would be:

1906 Winchester Model 1894 in 30-30
1946 Winchester Model 71 in 348 Win
2005 Marlin 1895 CB in 45-70 Govt.

SHOOTER 72 · « **Reply #38 on:** February 28, 2007, 10:19:03 AM »

my three would be .

winchester 86 in 50-110
winchester 64 in 219 zipper
winchester 95 in 30 govt.

that will cover just about anyhting in north america !

azmike · « **Reply #39 on:** March 04, 2007, 03:49:39 AM »

1. Marlin 336 30-30
2. Marlin 39A
3. Can't decide between a Savage 99 in .250 savage, or a Winchester 1895 in 30-06. Think if I went with a Savage it would never leave the safe, except to show it off.

Dee · « **Reply #40 on:** March 04, 2007, 06:32:56 AM »

Well, I suppose I have fallen from grace on this thread. I have sold my Marlin 1895 CB, and have stuck with my Winchesters. One in 3030 and the other a Model 92 clone in 357mag. There is just something about the look, feel, and handling that I haven't been able to overcome in over 50 years.
So I guess my two will have to do.

AJMD429 · « **Reply #41 on:** July 08, 2009, 05:28:50 PM »

Ha!

Ruger 96/22
Ruger 96/44
Marlin 444 XLR

dpe.ahoy · « **Reply #42 on:** July 08, 2009, 05:43:10 PM »

Marlin 357, Rossi 357, Rossi 44mag, 2 Rossi 454's, Marlin 30-30, 2 Marlin 35 rems, Marlin 38-55CB, Marlin 444P, BLR 7mm-08, BLR 358, Win Trapper 45 colt, Henry 22lr and Henry 22 mag. Did I forget to mention I lose count easy?

Oldyardog

Up date I now have a Marlin pre safty 44mag and a pre safty Marlin .357. Looking for a Marlin .22 Mounty.

teamnelson · « **Reply #44 on:** July 08, 2009, 08:14:44 PM »

1. EMF 92 .357
2. Marlin 336 30-30
3. Marlin 39a

and an 1887 12 gauge just 'cause.

Old English · « **Reply #45 on:** July 09, 2009, 12:44:55 AM »

What a choice one is forced to make. All my levers are Marlins and I would have to lose the 30-30 and keep the other 3.
a) 45-70 Guide gun, Stainless laminated.
b) pre cross bolt safety 35 Rem
c) 44 mag, marlin 1894, same ammo as my revolver so a must keep rifle.

sixgun_symphony · « **Reply #46 on:** July 11, 2009, 04:22:50 AM »

small game/pest control: M92 Winchester, .32-20 WCF

Medium game/defense: M92 Winchester, .44-40 WCF

Big Game: M71 Winchester, .348 Win

crash87 · « **Reply #47 on:** July 11, 2009, 06:10:26 AM »

I don't think I could pick "JUST" 3. The first 2 would be easy the 3rd?

??
1. Browning BL-22 (My 1st lever purchased in 1976)
2. Winchester 94 Trails End 45 Colt
3. Marlin 1894 45-70 circa 1972
(or 1895 Win, or Browning model 71, or.......see what I mean)
Crash87

jbmi · « **Reply #48 on:** July 11, 2009, 02:24:36 PM »

Marlin 39A
Savage 99 250/3000
Win. 88 358

Halwg · « **Reply #49 on:** July 14, 2009, 01:33:35 AM »

1. Marlin 39A - 22LR

2. Marlin 336 - 35 Remington

4. Marlin 444 - 444 Marlin

Those 3, which I do in fact have, take care of any hunting I might do. I also have a 30-30, and an 1894C in 357 mag. But the 3 I listed are my top game getters.

zoner · « **Reply #50 on:** July 18, 2009, 02:51:16 AM »

If I could only have three lever receivers.....might change the barrels to get the caliber of choice.
#1 Browning model 1892 in .45 Colt 18" barrel.

#2 Browning model 1886 in .45-70 Govt. Shotgun butt and 3/4 magazine tube. 22" barrel.

#3 Winchester or Browning model 1895 take down with 2 barrels, 30-06 Springfield,

and .411 Hawk.

dave hall · « **Reply #57 on:** September 02, 2009, 11:52:47 AM »

My three:

Puma Bounty Hunter "Mares Leg" in 45 LC wish they could build on in 45-70 or 444.

New 1886 in 45-90 WCF had this round in my NEF Handi hell of a cartridge.
Win. '94 in 450 Marlin had this rifle when it first came out.I will have one again.

mcwoodduck · « **Reply #58 on:** September 02, 2009, 12:21:10 PM »

I may toss a curve ball here.
1) Henry Lever in 22LR
2) Win 1895 in either 30-06 or 30-40K Or a Sharps 1874 carbine in 45-70. (Falling blocks are lever actuated)
3) Win 1887 in 12 ga. with a 28" barrel
If these are the only three guns I need something that I can shoot small game with
Large / Big game.
And Wing shooting.

Dee,

I modified my original post above. So now you can put your badge away. The jest of the post if unknown at time was more an ammo answer that a gun answer.

It was both. Read the question again.
