My experience says that with either weapon, the shooter must change shooting position to reload but that movement is greater with the lever action version.
I don't find either one to be superior in accuracy or range (as long as we're talking the same caliper weapon, load and round), I just like the looks and feel of the lever action more. To each their own.

Are we talking standing and firing or from some kind of rest?

If that question was addressed to me, I no longer try to play Buffalo Bill, all my shooting is done either prone or with a rest.

A Les Paul has a 24.75" (standard Gibson) scale length and a range from 82hz to 1175hz (22 frets in standard tuning).

Based on our past conversations, I feel quite certain that you are fully aware I don't know squat about musical instruments. But, I appreciate the attempt to educate me.

Just playing around. 
Guitar scale length is as hotly debated as is preferred caliber. A Gibson is usually about 3/4" shorter than a Fender and as such has a different feel, and the harmonic characteristics are the subject of endless, mostly speculative discussion.
Lester Polsfuss was an avid and prolific inventor as well as a great guitarist. As such he was instrumental (  ) in the mid-century advances of the recording industry and the electric guitar.[This message has been edited by williegoat (edited 03-29-2021).]

Watch out when they start talking about tone. It's some mythical thing that nobody has ever witnessed being found. But they seek it like it's the Lost Duchman Mine.

Tone? What's that?
My past activities ruined any chance of hearing a tone.
