Modern performance, classic soul — these 8 lever-action rifles prove the old action still wins in the field. From compact .45-70 power to detachable-mag precision, this video breaks down reliability, accuracy, and real hunting capability. In this video we test and explain the most reliable lever-action rifles for hunting and range work. If you assume lever guns can’t match modern rifles for accuracy or cartridge versatility, watch closely — three of these models deliver sub-MOA potential with the right ammo, and several use magazine designs that safely accept pointed bullets. We cover real field performance, mechanical highlights, and which platforms are best for brush hunting, guided big-game, or long-range lever shooting. You’ll get: • Practical accuracy results and realistic effective ranges. • Magazine and lockup tech that matters (rotary vs tubular vs detachable box). • Which chamberings to pick for deer, elk and dangerous game. • Action feel, weight, and handling differences you’ll notice in the stand.
