When I bought my Winchester 94 seven years ago, I got it for just under $500. It was in good shape and a pre-1964.

Nowadays, the price for the same rifle has doubled and, in some areas, even tripled since then.

The Avid Outdoorsman takes a look at lever-action rifles worth buying before prices get worse (you know they will).

Whatever the reason, the days of casually finding clean lever actions for cheap are mostly gone.

That does not mean every lever gun is worth chasing. Some are already overpriced, some are hard to feed, and some are more collectible than useful.
