1. MULTIPLE CALIBERS: True of most manual-action arms. Multiple caliber versions of the same model is true of most firearms. 2. AW BAN-BEATING: VERY LEGITIMATE REASON. Now you're making the point. 3. ACCURACY: Point applies to any manual-action. Speed is a separate matter. 4. AESTHETICS: Legitimate; court situation also goes to Point 2. 5. STILL VIABLE: True, indeed. But there is a CONTRADICTION in your statement. Most AW-ban states limits mag to 10 rounds. You mentioned a lever with a 14-round capacity. And yes, the mag limits apply to manual actions. (.22s with tubular mags are generally the only exception.) The "tactical" lever-actions really are interesting. 6. SLEEK: Correct. No extended mags or bolt handles. Good point. 7. VERSATILITY: Applies to most actions to some degree. DRAWBACKS: Less suited than bolts or self-functioning for military-type use, due to action being open to debris. And a personal note: I've never had good luck with them. But that's me.
