Leave Thursday. Let me know if you need anything form the CL folks. I'd be happy to ask.
I honestly never though much about lever guns even though I've had my Marlin .22 carbine since I was 10 or so. Unfortunately you and Jeff Higgins got me thinking about bigger and better
Quick sea story:
One of my jobs growing up on a small ranch in CA was to take the horse manure to the different small farmers in our area...the trek was all on private, dirt roads so I started doing this at 12 or so.
Our manure truck was a '58 El Camino my father got from his brother...three on the tree, with the cats-eye rear end. I always took my .22 Marlin with me.
One afternoon I took the long way home and stopped on top of a small rise. Across the arroyo to my right I saw a small jack rabbit, maybe 50 yards away.
I eased out of the truck and took a bead on the JR. I missed the first shot and the JR took off across the face of the small rise. I tracked him for at least a hundred yards, shooting and reloading as fast as the lever would go...eight shots later the JR made it to the manzanita bushes and disappeared.
It remains the most enjoyable 15 seconds or so of my hunting career.
