The Timeless Appeal of Lever-Action Rifles: Classic Power Meets Modern Innovation
Lever-action rifles have been an iconic part of American firearms history, cherished for their reliability, rugged design, and unmistakable style. While these rifles harken back to the days of the Old West, they remain a favorite among shooters today, thanks to their blend of tradition and practical performance.
In 2024, lever-action rifles are experiencing a resurgence, with manufacturers introducing new models that combine classic aesthetics with modern features. For instance, Henry Repeating Arms has launched the X Model series, which adds contemporary upgrades like threaded barrels for suppressors, Picatinny rails, and durable synthetic stocks, making these rifles more versatile than ever.
Marlin is also making headlines with the new Marlin 1895 SBL, now under Ruger’s ownership. Chambered in .45-70 Government, this rifle boasts stainless steel construction, a large loop lever, and an adjustable ghost ring rear sight—ideal for both hunting and defensive use.
