Lever or bolt?
Ok I need your opinions. With all the crazy hoarding going on with AR's (and I have 3 plus the SCAR) but I'd like to add at least another rifle not semiauto. So, I'm interested in either a bolt action or lever action, probably in .308 but caliber isn't set.
I'm not a hunter, got burned out on that years ago so it's gonna be a range/HD rifle to add to the stash that fell overboard. Whatcha think? Bolt or lever, caliber and why? Thanks........

Lever, just cuz I like it, and don't own one. I just had the same dilemma a few months ago, and opted for a bolt action in 30-06. Why? Because I'm planning on taking up hunting again, and IMHO, the bolt will be a bit more accurate than a lever action. Just my opinion tho.... For a lever action, I was partial to the Marlins because they eject to the side, rather than upwards like the Winchesters. The bolt action is both range and field friendly, but a carbine length lever action in .357 magnum would work nicely for a home defense weapon. And it is fun to shoot at the range!

Ron, I would rather have a Bolt Action over a lever action are meant for Hunting or the Rifleman:
Here are two Bolt Action Scout Rifles Top one is Ruger and Bottom is Styr: I would prefer the Ruger more ammo:  Here is the Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle web page: http://www.ruger.com/products/gunsit...le/models.html

Since you have mentioned the .308 caliber, I would go for the bolt action. Everyone needs a good sniper rifle. Levers are fun guns, but I still prefer the bolt for serious shooting.
