Lever or bolt?

[wxl]

Mainly personal preference in what YOU want. I have several bolt actions in 22 Hornet, 300 WinMag, 300 WSM, 375 H&H, 270, 416 Rigby, 7-08 and 6.8 SPC. I also like my lever actions, a 92 in 44-40 and for real hunting, a BLR in 270 and 308. both high power and flat shooting with decent accuracy (~1 1/2" groups @100 yds). A lever in a pistol caliber is a fun thing and short range hunting with terrible trajectory in 100+ distances.

Have 2 AR15 uppers in 5.56 and 4 in 6.8 SPC plus an AR10. Understand your quandary as I cannot decide what I NEED next.

Oh, what I'd like is another SBR with the fun switch on it, but that ain't happening !!

Can you even get a lever action 308? I agree in keeping down to as few calibers as you can. I am not that familiar with levers but I think they are usually flat point bullets.

No 308 lever actions that I know of. Specifically because the 308 is a military bullet, all FMJ or JHP as you point out.

Now a 45-70 or a 45-90 might be fun
