Another vote for the Colt Burgess, I have got to quit messing around buying other guns and get one of the Uberti copies of the Burgess. God Bless. Oh, a close second would be a model 92.

TRUISM: if guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. So, my advice is: Buy more guns!

Y'all wrong. Best looking is M94 in 30/30 that was made in 1959. Grandpa passed it on to me :)
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!

JMO, because I have never owned any of them...

1886 - Rugged essobee, a man's gun.

1895 - Elegant lines

1873 - Just purty

1892 - The kid brother
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

I don't know about best looking, but the only ugly one would be one which doesn't work right.

Pathfinder09, that is a nice looking '95. Is it a Browning?

I really like the model 71 Deluxe. I think a Model 64 Deluxe would be next.

In my opinion, the nicest looking levergun is an 1886 deluxe pistol gripped with a full length mag and a 28"-30" half rd/oct. bull barrel. If I had the 25 or 30 g's to buy one of the probably only 15 that were ever made I'd be showing it off. :D ------------Sixgun

I love my 86's and the look of the 94 octagon rifles, but I saw a deluxe model 64 a year or two back, and it was just elegant.
