Bolt or lever
The bolt is stronger,more accurate and generally more relibable due to design of larger extractors and more camming power. As another member said,there are a few exceptions. The currently produced king is the browning blr-browning lever rifle,and is chambered in everything included magnums, made to be scoped,has detachable magizine,and has multiple rotating lug action. As for discotinued lever rifles,there's the savage model 99,the winchester 88,and sako. As a general rule,simpler is better for maximium relibality and bolt rifles have less moving parts and is almost always more potentially more accurate.
