Yes, in some of the rifle calibre's, but not in the pistol calibre's.
Lever gun are very popular here in the UK, as they effectively 'replaced' handguns in short range club comps here after handguns were banned here in 1997, as most club ranges are 25m short ranges that were used for pistol shooting here in the UK, and with most people handloading for pistol calibre's, the lever guns naturally replaced handguns in short range comps here.
As a result I've pretty much had a go with just about all the main types, as we tend to borrow and try out each others rifles to try them.
In our small club, between members we have:
3 x Marlins (2 x 357 and 1 x 44mag)
2 x Henry Big Boy (both 357)
2 x Rossi M92 (both 357)
2 x Winchester 94AE (both 357)
1 x Chiappa Alaskan Takedown in .44mag
1 x Uberti 1873 carbine in .45LC - mine
Up until last year we also had another Marlin in .44mag and an original Winchester 1873 in 44-40 made back in 1906, but those two elderly members gave up shooting a while back and disposed of their guns.
