It's also a lot of fun just to cycle the lever between shots - you will find yourself working on that technique, trying to improve speed and accuracy. Don't be surprised if, at some point, you are faster at hitting things with the lever gun than with the Mini 14. It will also knock the bigger, heavier targets around with more authority than the .223. Like bowling pins and stuff. IMHO, lever guns are the most fun to be had in "plinking" rifles.

Yeah, the lever is definitely fun to work and I could see how one could get fast with it. I have to admit shooting the 45/70 was a hoot, especially with the "elephant" loads. 150m is like 15'. Quite fun to shoot something that far away with iron sights. I do like ghost rings...
