What is a lever-action rifle?
A lever-action rifle features a lever located around the trigger guard area. Operating this lever cycles the action, ejecting a spent cartridge and chambering a new one. This design allows for rapid firing and has been a staple in hunting and sport shooting for decades. For a selection of lever-action shotguns, visit our Lever Action Shotguns page.
