Which Would You Choose?
If, and it's a BIG if, but if you were required to either sell all your lever guns except one, and keep your bolt guns, or sell all your bolt guns except one and keep your lever guns, which of the two choices would you make, and why?

<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>I would sell the levers and keep the bolts . I shoot at bench rest shoots and the lever action is of no use to me there .<img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle>

In a bolt action it would be the rifle my dad left me a JC-Higgins Model 51 30-06 Sprg. I only own one lever action my first gun Marlin Model 336 30-30, but I would really like a 450 Alaskan. Goood luck.

RE: Which Would You Choose?
That's a no brainer as far as I'm concerned. I'd definitely keep the bolts. However, I wouldn't sell my levers. I'd give them to my two sons who will get them eventually anyways. gg.
