My collection of centerfire lever actions began with two in 2010.

My collection now of centerfire lever actions is growing slowly but each is unique to me. Doubt I will add anymore though.

Like the '94 at the bottom. A real beauty. Of course, not to be taking anything away from your Marlin beauties though.

Looking good! But only 7 rifles in 13 years? You need to get your priorities in order! ;):ROFLMAO:

I am with you.

I have had an Ithaca 49 for all my life, and probably my love of levers started there. My first centerfire was a 336 in .35 Remington. My collection has grown as well, though I don't have a photo of all of them together. My go-to is an MXLR in .338 Marlin. Next week I leave for Africa with a 99 and a GBL. I still have bucket list levers to acquire. I'll get there eventually. My thing is I never buy a rifle just to buy a rifle. If I buy one, I aim to hunt with it.

Here's that 336, from the year I bought it. It feels like a freaking lifetime ago.

I like your kind of collecting. Every gun has to earn his place in the cabinet. I also like the collection of the thread starter.
Actually mines at his start, my first Levergun was a 336 Texan in .30-30. I shot my first wildboar with it. All others are still in debt of bringing the bacon. I am looking for a 1895 in 45-70 and/or MXLR in .444 Marlin.

Very nice!

I’ve taken deer with my .444. Recently put its Leupold on the BLR and plan to mount a 3X Leupold that I picked up on the 444S. The rest just see range time for now. The 99 EG has a 3X Weaver I just mounted but that still needs to get zeroed. So little time these days.

OK I'm in. This started with a 336 RC in 32 win sp. somewhere around 1989 when my then neighbour showed me a gun he was trying to sell for his buddy's widow. NEVER LOOKED BACK!!! There are a couple of Winnies on the back wall but the rest are the real thing

These is kind of the best looking collection presentations I see of a privat collector. I know stores with less organized racks.
