What's wrong with owning both? Also if OP is looking to buy a niche firearm then he likely already has a decent AR or lives in a anti funs state where just getting a lever gat and getting good with that is less of a legal headache. Either that or while the state he may live in is actually quite friendly 2A wise local hunting ground laws may very well still make a good lever action a worth wild investment.

I dunno why you frog posters are so unimaginative sometimes.
