The Grade V/VI walnut stock and case-hardened finish on the receiver are gorgeous but not too showy. This drool-inducing version is a 2021 SHOT Show Special, and both wood and steel are looking fine. The Model 94 is, of course, a classic, “the rifle that won the west,” but even after 120-plus years and seemingly infinite versions and variations, it still draws a crowd. If you’re the type to go deep into lever guns, this is your kind of thing. Winchester Model 94 Deluxe Sporting Lever-Action Rifle (Photo courtesy of Winchester) $1,019 | Winchester Model 94 Deluxe Sporting Lever-Action Rifle The rifle uses Henry’s 5-round removable tubular magazine and the side loading gate and is a very modern take on a classic design. 30-30 with a threaded barrel, synthetic stock, integrated sling swivel studs, Picatinny and M-Lok accessory slots and it’s drilled and tapped for scope mounts. Henry introduced the X Model in 2020, and they’ve added some cool modern versions to the line this year, including this. I bet you don’t see too many lever guns with a suppressor in deer camp. The rail also has a peep sight, and both the stock and steel feature Henry’s all-weather finish. One of the coolest models this year is this scout-rifle inspired version (pictured above), which has a long Picatinny rail for mounting a scope farther forward on the barrel to help you be quicker picking up that buck bounding through the brush. This design change not only adds the convenience of side-load for those who want it, it makes the rifle an even better fit for special deer seasons that allow straight-wall cartridges. That classic design is getting a major update, as Henry is replacing all steel-framed centerfire lever-action rifles to include a side loading gate while still retaining the removable tube magazine based. This small, American gun company builds a unique lever gun with a removable tube magazine, a design that has been proving itself in the field since the 1860s. There’s no mistaking a Henry lever action. 45-70 Side Gate Lever-Action Rifle (Photo courtesy of Henry Repeating Arms) However, there are plenty of cool new rifles to satisfy lever gun junkies. There’s never a flood of new models, and this year is no different. As passionate as lever gun folks are, and despite the fact that you can find us anywhere, it’s still a niche in the firearm market. For some it’s an occasional taste, others a compulsion, but there is something about the history, beauty, and utility of lever guns that speaks to people. Lever gun fans tend to fall into two camps: Those who love having a few in regular rotation and those who go very deep.
