re: I want a lever action rifle. Educate me.

I'm going to assume you meant deer hunt.

Regardless, if you want a lever rifle the answer is browse Henry's website and find what you want. They have a great product line and great rifles.

I want a Henry lever action in .17.

Do those have a box type magazine?

I own a Marlin 336 30-30, and it's easily my favorite in my collection since I am a southpaw. Super reliable and easy to clean. You can also mount a nice scope on it for late evening deer hunting. Will drop anything from 150 yards in with ease.

I like the old Winchester 88s, because they feel like a bolt action, and I'm also left handed shooter. When they first came out, Winchester called them The bolt action rifle with a lever.

I have a Winchester 94E or 94AE (I can't currently recall) in 3030. Its the only "deer" rifle I own. Shot the only deer I've ever killed with it. My dad gave it to me about 6 or 7 years ago.

I take it out once a year, (with the exception of this year because I've been too busy working on my house) bring it to my family's land, and shoot some targets with it. Then bring it home, clean it, and put it up until the next year.

Obviously, I'm not a big deer hunter.

They use a tube mag.

How do the polymer tip rounds do in those? Does it mash the tips? It's kind of easy to do on the .17 hmrs

Pre 64 winchester
Henry
BLR

All fantastic choices.

I have a pre 64 winchester .
30-30 and I'm currently looking into getting a BLR in .308

My dad has a .30-30 lever action that’s a blast to shoot. I’m not sure but it ejects from the top.

He has a lever action .22 that is a tact driver I mean open sights or scope. It’s about 30-35 years old

I prefer to duck hunt with my crossbow but you do you

Not sure if you are trolling, but if I can be so bold as to try to help. This is not gospel, just a rudimentary attempt to help the education process, unless you are pulling my chain. With all the sarcastic answers to your questions, I thought I would play it straight.

Lever actions are a lot of fun to shoot. You can get a lever action Rifle or Shotgun. Both exist, but the lever action rifle is the most popular lever action version made.

Rifles are typically used to hunt deer, or larger game. Rifles are a long range weopon. They shoot a lead projectile rather than pellets. .223, 30-30, .308, .270, 30.06, are typical rifle calibers.

Shotguns are typically used to hunt birds, but are versatile and can hunt other animals as well, but are used to hunt birds, squirrels, waterfowl. They shoot a scattering of pellets to take down their target. Shotguns are versatile. They can also shoot larger ball bearings (buckshot) or slugs but are more of a short distance weapon.

So, when you say you want a lever action rifle, but want to use it for duck hunting, those things do not go together. Like a football bat, or a 4x4 Sports Car.

Watch YouTube videos on the guns you have recommended to you. It will also educate you on the subject and will help guide you in the right direction.

I used to own a Henry .22LR lever action and loved shooting it. I also owned 2 shotguns (Beretta Outlander (semi-auto) & Remington 870 (pump action).

Good Luck
