I know nothing of the guns you are looking at. So I'll stick to generalities. Feel free to tell me what I have wrong.
Left-handed folks find a lever ambidextrous.
Bolts feed from a magazine (fixed or detachable) that can accommodate pointy bullets. Most lever guns have a tube magazine that requires blunt bullets to rest on the next round's primer. A quick load with a detachable box magazine or a stripper clip can be handy. Some older bolt guns have a magazine cut off, allowing single round top offs but for the most part not found on anything modern. A tube is easy to stick one more into the side loading port. Tube magazines are prone to getting dings.
Some lever guns don't like reloads that are only neck sized. Most bolts do very well with neck size only.
Blr has a clip. If you miss a Coyote inside 200 yards with a BLR, it's the indan and not the arrow. |
What are the pros & cons between a bolt action and lever action ?
