What are lever action rifles?

Underlever repeating rifles are rifles that are loaded by moving a lever back and forth under the butt of the rifle.

The forward movement unlocks the bolt and pulls it to the rear. The empty cartridge case is pulled out of the chamber and ejected. The backward movement to the starting position loads a new cartridge into the chamber.

Underlever repeaters were particularly widespread in North America (semi-automatic rifles are now the most popular weapons in the USA), while in Europe bolt-action rifles are the most common form of multi-barrelled hunting rifle.

What are the advantages of lever action repeaters?

he advantage of lever-action repeaters is that the reloading movement can be carried out very quickly without the shooter having to take the gun out of the firing position. In contrast to fore-end repeaters, the game to be shot does not have to be removed from the target.

Compared to modern straight-pull repeaters, however, the high possible rate of fire of lever-action repeaters no longer plays a role.

What do lever-action rifles cost?

The cost of a double rifle varies just as much as with other types of weapon. For example, you can buy the Puma Classic lever-action rifle from Rossi for around €900. More specialized lever-action rifles such as the Pedersoli 1886/71 Guide Master, on the other hand, cost around three times as much.
